Bloom Energy announces hydrogen-powered energy servers to make always-on renewable electricity a reality

Green Car Congress

At peak times, some US states and countries already have more renewable power than their grids can handle. Despite those periods of excess wind and solar power, because the ability to store electricity for more than a few hours is lacking, dispatchable power from the combustion of fossil fuels continues to bridge gaps in supply.
