Can a New Power Link Boost the EU’s Energy Independence?

Cars That Think

The Black Sea is almost 1,200 kilometers long, and the proposed undersea power cable would need to run the length of it, making it the longest and deepest in the world. And vital undersea cables elsewhere in Europe have recently been targeted, including a power line under the Baltic Sea that was severed in December.

Neither has a commercial future, according to Verma. The trouble is, you could set the exact same voltage on two cells for the same amount of time, and those two cells would wind up with slightly different conductance values. And there will be plenty of competition in the low-power space EnCharge is after.

Will Supercapacitors Come to AI's Rescue?

Cars That Think

Because training is orchestrated simultaneously among many thousands of GPUs in massive data centers, and with each new generation of GPU consuming an ever-increasing amount of power, each step of the computation corresponds to a massive energy spike. This makes the grid see a consistent load, but it also wastes energy doing unnecessary work.

Revealed: General Motors battery guru explains why lithium – not hydrogen – is central to our EV future

EV Central

GM’s top EV battery guru, Andy Oury, believes we could switch to a hydrogen-based economy in the future, if we could build enough renewable energy to run it. That’s because – as Oury is at pains to point out – the lithium that currently powers electric vehicles, and other batteries, is almost as abundant as hydrogen anyway.
