Geothermal Energy Survives Trump’s Tax Law

Cars That Think

Incentives for wind and solar, however, are sharply curtailed , and subsidies for residential clean-energy projects will abruptly end after this year. Geothermal has long drawn bipartisan support and has so far dodged Trump’s broader attacks on renewable energy. The first phase of that project is set to come online in 2027.

Cuba’s Power Grid Nears Total Failure

Cars That Think

Cuba’s Renewable Energy Options Heavy crude oil isn’t Cuba’s only resource; it has a wealth of untapped renewable energy options, including solar, wind, and potentially sugarcane biomass. But the transition to renewables has progressed slowly and somewhat haphazardly , despite ambitious goals set by the government.

Wärtsilä and partners to cooperate in wind-to-hydrogen-to-electricity project; other power-to-X fuels

Green Car Congress

The project will be based in Vaasa and will focus on enabling a new way to store renewable energy. The system will use renewable energy to produce hydrogen to be stored and reprocessed. The solution is not limited to the use of hydrogen—the letter X refers also to other fuels, such as synthetic methane, methanol and ammonia.

CMU researchers find controlled charging of PHEVs can cut cost of integration into electricity system by 54-73%; higher benefits with wind power

Green Car Congress

The magnitude of these savings is ~5% to 15% higher in a system with 20% wind penetration compared to a system with no wind power, and the savings are 50–60% higher in a system that requires capacity expansion. Controlled charging can also take advantage of the high levels of wind generation that commonly occur at night in the US.
