The Grid Needs Storage, Not Every Storage Idea
Grid-storage debates are usually framed as a contest among technologies. Lithium-ion batteries compete with flow batteries, compressed air, liquid air, gravity systems, iron-air and whatever new long-duration acronym has arrived with a funding announcement. That framing skips the more important system question: how much dedicated electrical storage is actually required … [continued]

New Method Turns Ocean Water Into Drinking Water, Without Waste
The energy-efficient desalination system produces fresh water without chemical additives and transforms leftover salts into useful materials. Big takeaways A new desalination method produces drinking water from seawater without chemical additives. The solar-powered system uses specially engineered black metal to absorb sunlight. Its self-cleaning surface separates and collects salts, instead of dumping them as harmful … [continued]

Wave Energy’s Hardest Problem Is Not The Waves. It Is Maintenance.
After publishing on a wave energy proposal for offshore data centers, I received a useful challenge. A reader pointed to CorPower Ocean as a counterexample. That was worth taking seriously. CorPower is not a render-first startup selling a fantasy of floating artificial intelligence infrastructure in the deep Pacific. It has … [continued]
