A University of Leeds research team analyzed several scenarios to identify a potential solution to identify the fairest and most equitable way that governments can curtail energy use, a process known as energy demand reduction. The big challenge is said to be that consumers in the richer, developed nations will have to accept restrictions on […]

Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences researchers have developed a new method to dramatically extend the lifetime of organic aqueous flow batteries. The development improves the commercial viability of a technology that has the potential to safely and inexpensively store energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar. Michael Aziz, […]

University of East Anglia’s new research shows that fuel poverty makes people’s physical and mental health worse. With the U.S. administration canceling pipelines, cutting of oil and gas property leasing, pressuring finance not to loan or invest has already pressured petroleum products’ pricing way up. Add to that the Russian Federation’s new war in the […]

The Carnegie Institution for Science’s work shows nuclear power would be crucial in helping the world reach a key goal of zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century. The research shows the case is especially true in countries with low wind resources. The study results have been published in Nature Energy by Lei […]

Today two of the biggest power grids on the planet are connected by only seven small threads. Those seven threads (technically, they’re back-to-back, high-voltage, direct-current connections) join America’s Eastern and Western interconnections and have 1,320 megawatts of electric-power handling capacity. The seam separating the eastern and western grids runs, roughly, from eastern Montana, down the […]
