A study of real-world disasters shows home solar and storage could keep the lights on and the air conditioner running during many outages, but not all.
Academic rigor, journalistic flair
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Berkeley Lab is a member of the national laboratory system supported by the U.S. Department of Energy through its Office of Science. It is managed by the University of California (UC) and is charged with conducting unclassified research across a wide range of scientific disciplines. Located on a 200-acre site in the hills above the UC Berkeley campus that offers spectacular views of the San Francisco Bay, Berkeley Lab employs approximately 4,200 scientists, engineers, support staff and students.

The largest category of power plants applying to connect to the US grid are now solar, and over a third of those are hybrids that include battery storage.
Many people want to know about practical suggestions to help slow climate change. Effective action starts at home.
Despite a growth in revenue from wind farms, many rural school districts are being nudged by policy and law to spend the money on buildings and not instruction.
Fifteen years ago electric power generation was the largest source of US greenhouse gas emissions. Now the power sector is leading the shift to a clean energy economy.
Solar power doesn’t have to be just for the wealthy anymore. With the right kind of financial incentives, households at all income levels can benefit from affordable clean energy.
Teknologi efisien energi bisa menghemat miliaran rupiah dan menghindari pembangunan 50 pembangkit listrik pada 2030.
Efficient technologies can save Indonesians not only billions of rupiah but also avoid the need to built 50 power plants by 2030.
The spread of ride-hailing services and autonomous vehicles will lead to higher energy demand, a study finds. Electric vehicles and a much cleaner grid are the only way to avoid more emissions.
Large-scale solar and wind tend to push energy prices down, which sounds great as a consumer. But that makes keeping the grid in constant balance harder.
While wind energy is often perceived as controversial, that may be due to the tyranny and power of unrepresentative anecdotes.
In the lead up to the federal election, Queensland mining magnate Clive Palmer called for an increase in the number of vehicles using ethanol-based fuels, as a way of reducing Australia’s greenhouse emissions…
