2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. The basic idea is to add particles of sea salt to the atmosphere to brighten clouds and cool the planet.

Anthropogenic climate change confronts humanity with a challenge: How can we keep warm now as we try to prevent our world from overheating in the future? A Small Country with Large Heating Needs Big problems demand big solutions, and there is perhaps no bigger 21st-century problem than climate change.

The idea of using electric vehicles to provide power during emergencies was generated during the 2011 tsunami. In 2018, the Blue Switch project was created by Nissan as an initiative to promote the use of electric car batteries as viable resources for issues related to disaster prevention, energy management, climate change, and more.

That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. Packetized energy management (PEM) allows the power grid to flexibly handle a varying supply of renewable energy. Here’s how.

If our country is going to spend money like a drunk sailor we should have spent it on building renewable energy power plants like Wind and Geothermal. Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. This is true, irrespective of the merits of the Volt.
