Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

The technology could fundamentally transform the way electricity is stored on the grid, making power from renewable energy sources such as wind and sun far more economical and reliable. Solid-electrode batteries maintain discharge at peak power for far too short a time to fully regulate wind or solar power output.

Renewable Energy Generation: Change is not a destination, just as hope is not a strategy, a lesson exported from Detroit

Green Car Congress

Even ruling Hawaii out as an outlier, the cost of electricity in Connecticut was 17.79 In contrast, imagine the public outcry if the cost of gasoline varied from $3.00 in Connecticut. Two are geographically constrained (hydro and geothermal), placing wind and solar as the front running mass renewable energy choices.
