Batteries are not a new idea but plummeting costs have positioned them to disrupt two of the world’s biggest industries: automobiles and the electric grid. Listen in as battery guru Steve LeVine helps us understand how this will all unfold.
Nuclear and coal plants cost more to build. Transmission investments have grown 10x over the last decade. But somehow solar+battery manages to get cheaper every year.
Bill Nussey talks with Alan Russo of STEM, a leading clean energy company in storage, microgrids and, most recently, AI software that ties it all together.
Energy from the wind and sun is intermittent and often unpredictable. Critics point to this as the fatal flaw of renewable energy and the reason electricity prices rose in places aggressively adopting it. Is this true?
A future powered by clean energy requires batteries to balance the intermittency of solar and wind. Experts say those batteries will be too expensive. Fortunately, by thinking differently, a clean energy future may be possible sooner than they think.
Host Bill Nussey interviews Dr. Jeff Chamberlain, the CEO of venture capital firm Volta, about the exciting path to incredibly safe and low-cost batteries.
