Study Surveys Trade-Offs of Technology Options To Overcome Challenging Last Few Percent to Zero-Emissions U.S. Power Grid A growing body of research has demonstrated that cost-effective high-renewable power systems are possible, but costs increase as systems approach 100% carbon-free electricity—what has become known as the “last 10% problem.” The increase in costs is largely driven […]

The future is renewable (in more ways than one). Several states have gone out and made 100% renewable electricity or 100% renewable energy commitments, but most have not. Something surprising I just discovered via Environment America, though, is that 1 out of 3 Americans live in a state that has some form of 100% clean […]

In 2020, I wrote an article describing the flaws in studies that claim that 100 percent renewable energy is unaffordable. I talked about these studies overestimating storage requirements and opting for inadequate renewable energy storage. I argued in favor of using more power-to-gas technology to achieve an affordable 100 percent renewable electricity grid. However, the […]
