“ Rising temperatures due to the climate crisis will lead to a rise in people suffering from kidney stones – a painful medical condition exacerbated by heat and dehydration, according to a new study.”

High voltage in a cable in the hands of the average electric car owner, what could possibly go wrong there? What happens to the first electric car owner plugging his car in with his/her feet in a puddle of water? My guess is these car owners are way more smarter than the average owner of a vehicle with internal combustion. There is a reason why high voltage creates excess heat. It is the nature of the beast. I sure hope these folks educate their potential customers to the possible electrocution hazard.

Many analysts believe the U.S. can cost-effectively and reliably operate a power grid with 80% to 90% clean electricity, but decarbonizing the last 10% to 20% will be notably more challenging. While short-duration storage, lasting four hours or less, is becoming ubiquitous, we will likely need to provide power during some periods when wind and solar resources are at low levels (what the Germans call dunkelflaute, or “dark doldrums”). An expanded national transmission network will help, but some amount of long-duration storage will likely be needed.

Numerous options are being explored, including alternative battery technologies and green hydrogen.

Flow batteries are among the promising approaches that we are working on at the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute at the University of Colorado. In a typical design, liquid electrolyte flows between two storage tanks separated by a membrane. The tanks can be scaled up in size corresponding to the desired storage duration.

Green hydrogen is a potential storage option for very long durations. It is produced by splitting water molecules with an electrolyzer powered by renewable electricity. The hydrogen can be stored underground (or in above-ground tanks) and either burned in combustion turbines or converted back to electricity in fuel cells. Green hydrogen is currently very expensive but is expected to become more affordable as the cost of electrolyzers decreases.

In addition, new business, market design and grid operator models are emerging. Community solar gardens, for example, allow homeowners to purchase locally produced solar electricity even if their own roofs are not suitable for solar panels. Microgrids are another business model becoming common on campuses and complexes that produce electricity locally and can continue to operate if the grid goes down. Clean microgrids are powered by renewable energy and batteries.

So you agree with Genesis 2:7 now. Nice to see you coming around jhu.

"Climate Change" is the pagan religion of the left. Rather than sacrifice a virgin they would rather sacrifice our standard of living. I know very few Christian environmentalists. Most are radical Atheists, with an open hostility towards religion. Unlike Christianity and other religions, it 's adherents believe they can actually control their own "god" through their actions.

My early years in the civil engineering world had me dealing with various state and county level Soil Conservation District issues and those staff members told me the biggest violators of soil erosion best management practices were the Amish farmers. These religious wackos claimed religious exemptions and that they were working their gods creation as god instructed them to do so. No regard for stream buffers, water quality, of the watershed. Their god given right to screw their and the down stream "commons" as they see fit.
