So permit me to say the blindingly obvious: No amount of incremental wind and solar power can ever provide energy independence.

South Carolina now stands among the more proactive Southern states in clean energy policy. But it wasn’t always that way.

Vanadium is expensive, though the price fluctuates wildly - currently $11K to $15K / tonne of Vanadium Pentoxide. But advocates claim Vanadium flow batteries have the potential to solve the intermittency of renewable energy.

There are basically only three non-kinetic electrical storage mechanisms: electrochemical, pseudocapacitive, and capacitive. We deliberately exclude indirectly kinetic pumped hydro, for which there are two big expansion problems:...

Elon Musk claiming his coming in 2021 fully autonomous vehicles are safer than human drivers, and how renewables can supply the redoubled energy needs of the future, though they will need lots of grid scale batteries.
