Congress has provided hundreds of billions of dollars to speed the deployment of clean-energy technologies. Thousands of Washington insiders and climate activists have had a hand in these legislative breakthroughs. How fast can you ramp your power plants up and down to handle the variability from wind and solar?

Under the new contracts, the teams will now develop concepts and models that can be tested in computer simulations, laboratories and wind tunnels. The work is funded by NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate in Washington. Hybrid electric propulsion also has the potential to shorten takeoff distance and reduce noise.

French construction company Bouygues Immobilier is working on an office in Meudon, western Paris, which uses 4,000 square metres of solar panels to meet not only its own energy needs but also to export surplus energy back to the power grid. Wind, solar and nuclear could easily change our electrical sources.
