On 23 October 1916, an engineer named Henry E. Warren quietly revolutionized power transmission by installing an electric clock in the L Street generating station of Boston’s Edison Electric Illuminating Co. He graduated from MIT in 1894 with a degree in electrical engineering, and within the year he (along with his friend George C.

Among the most articulate and almost certainly the wonkiest is Jesse Jenkins , a professor of engineering at Princeton University, where he heads the ZERO Lab—the Zero-carbon Energy systems Research and Optimization Laboratory, that is. How fast can you ramp your power plants up and down to handle the variability from wind and solar?

This suggests that the shift towards EVs presents a significant opportunity to reduce our carbon footprint by decreasing CO 2 emissions and improving air quality. Unlike internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, EVs emit no direct emissions when running on electricity. Let’s not forget our carbon footprint. mph” in the United States.
