What Role Should the State's Play in Boosting the Clean Economy?
Currently, near-term-focused clean energy policies fall well short of spurring the kind of transformative energy technologies we need. To realize drastic carbon emission cuts, we need significantly better clean technologies in energy storage, solar, electric vehicles, critical materials and biofuels that are cheaper than their fossil fuel equivalents without subsidy in addition to the incremental improvements spurred by deployment policies.[read more]
New Brookings Paper Praises State Clean Energy Funds Amidst Washington Paralysis

“Negative pricing if it was wide spread it would be quickly fixed by the utilities who would simply choose to dunp excess electricity via perhaps joule heating rather than sell it at a loss.”
“These artificial leaf researchers get lots of headlines, but could they really be cost competive with normal solar panels connected to normal electrolysis units? Interconnecting a large area with plumbing for water and hydrogen will like cost more than interconnect with electrical wire. Then there is the giant lead in efficiency that normal PV solar cells have over these new PEC ...”
