Water-based battery with potential to store solar and wind energy developed by researchers
In a Stanford News article, researchers have invented a cheap water-based battery. If successful, a much bigger version will serve solar and wind farms, storing excess electricity for later redistribution in the power grid. The three-inch tall prototype stores enough power for a small LED flashlight. The researchers believe they can scale up this initial design […]

Ancient technology provides solution for energy storage
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are re-adapting ancient technology as a low-cost method to store carbon-free energy, effectively removing one of the main barriers to its large-scale adoption. Firebricks, which are essentially clay items designed to withstand high temperatures, can be incorporated into a system which would convert excess electricity into heat […]

Green energy LUNACY prevails as wind farms in the UK will be paid to turn OFF their turbines due to too much energy being produced
The United Kingdom has too much renewable energy and may have to limit the amount of green energy it produces during the summer months, according to a report by the National Grid released earlier this month. Over the past few years, the U.K. has spent a lot of effort in reducing its carbon footprint by […]
