The California Energy Commission (CEC) approved funding to advance further the development of its pioneering 42 MW peak microgrid and expand electric vehicle charging at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The return on this investment extends far beyond the San Diego campus. The Commission approved a $1.6-million

The idea, says Daniel Codd , a researcher in renewable energy systems at the University of California, San Diego, is to store solar-produced heat in rock formations below the surface, creating a solar-charged geothermal resource in which heat is stored for meaningful durations. But we can still reduce the carbon [cost] of that oil.”

Unfortunately, many assume the costs of installing and maintaining EV stations would make them unviable for their business. Largely, these are grouped into two categories: incentives that help refund or pay for installation and maintenance , or cost-reduction programs that knock down the charges before they even hit your bank.

However, achieving either goal would likely require governments offering hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions, in EV subsidies to ICE owners over the next decade, not to mention significant investments in EV charging infrastructure and the electrical grid.

When our solar system was very young, there were no planets—only a diffuse disk of gas and dust circled the sun. Some of those planetesimals, as astronomers call them, grew to be hundreds of kilometers across as they swept up more dust and gas within the swirling solar nebula. The Dawn spacecraft used solar-electric propulsion.
