The U.S. is going to need a lot more solar and wind power generation, and lots of cheap energy storage. It’s called pumped hydro energy storage. It involves pumping water uphill from one reservoir to another at a higher elevation for storage, then, when power is needed, releasing the water to flow downhill through turbines, generating electricity on its way to the lower reservoir. #RenewableEnergy #pumpedhydrostorage
The International Energy Agency warned Tuesday that global carbon dioxide emissions are on track to soar to record levels in 2023—and continue rising thereafter—as governments fail to make adequate investments in green energy #CO2Emissions #climatechange
