I’m back, with a book review
So I’ve been a bit busy getting my master’s degree, but for one of my renewable energy courses, I read a few books and did a few assignments that I feel I should share as they have helped me better understand the energy paradigm in the US. If the contents of this post feel a…
How Realistic is “Net Zero Emissions?”
In my last blog post we discussed about the Biden Administration’s pledge to reduce emissions and pave the way towards a net zero carbon future. I am hopeful that we overshoot these pledges as technology continues to advance in the coming decades. However, what if it doesn’t? Or what if technological progress reduces in speed…
Pledges and a Path Forward
The current administration is stark contrast to the previous when it comes to addressing climate change, reducing carbon emissions, and transforming our energy grid into one with a renewable energy versus a fossil fuel backbone. Over the last weekend the President and 40 other world leaders met virtually for this President’s first climate summit. This…
A Promising Future
So far, this week, we have been going strong discussing wind energy and the positive developments cycling around this budding industry. We might as well finish strong and look at some more positive outlooks to the future of wind energy costs, and why not, other renewable sources as well. Earlier this week, I covered improving…
Electric Farms in the Garden State
It appears that each day I sit down to write a new blog there are new positive developments for the future of wind energy. On April 20th, news broke of the ground breaking on what will be the largest offshore wind turbine manufacturing hub in the United States. The hub is going to be located…
Soaring Winds and Plummeting Prices
Many blogs ago, I referenced research being done at the Berkeley Lab, covering the economic feasibility of a net carbon negative future. Recently, the Berkeley Lab is back on my radar with another economic study. Again, we are looking at the economic feasibility of shifting to an ever-greener energy grid. The most recent report came…
Carbon Capture
In one of my previous blogs, I touched on the process of carbon capture and how it is going to see new investments flowing into it as the Biden administration has specifically mentioned it as one of their objectives with the proposed infrastructure plan. I feel that this is now an opportune time to do…
Highway to Renewable Energy
Have you ever walked on the sidewalk of a busy street and felt a gust of wind as a car rushed past you? Or maybe you’ve driven on the interstate and had a semi-truck speed past you, and you could feel the wind push your car? Both of those instances occur due to the same…
A Greener Proposition
A few weeks ago, I discussed how Texas is the largest wind energy producing state. This boom in renewable energy in Texas occurred under the guidance of Rick Perry as governor, who later became the Secretary of Energy under President Trump. Now, when Rick Perry was nominated for Secretary of Energy, there was backlash to…
Oh the Places You’ll Go… and Charge
I want you to imagine the following scene: you are starting your cross-country road trip across the United States in your new electric car. You’re a few hundred miles away from home and your battery is running out. How are you going to finish this road trip? Today I wanted to talk about the infrastructure…
