The lithium-based condensed battery was launched Wednesday at the Auto Shanghai expo, with CATL claiming blockbuster energy density figures "up to 500 Wh/kg.

In April of 2023, CATL announced its "condensed battery" packing over twice the energy density of nearly anything else on the market at an incredible 500 Wh/kg.

In the end, it isn’t that complicated: If climate change is an existential risk, surging output of good, cheap Chinese EVs is a good thing.

Already in mid-April, August power prices for Dallas soared to $168.70 a megawatt-hour, which was the highest level in five years for this time of the year,

Consumer involvement in distribution network operations will be beneficial for both consumers and Distribution Companies (DISCOMs).

The transition to all-electric everything would require an increase in electric generation to approximately 13,000 TWH from a storage supported predominantly intermittent generation fleet of approximately 6,000 GW with a capacity factor of approximately 30%, depending on the mix of wind and solar in the generation fleet.

For 20 years, US electrical power policy has been dominated by efforts to try to “mitigate” global warming, believed to be caused by human greenhouse gas emissions.

Iron-air batteries use rusting as their central technology. In an iron-air battery, iron, water and air are the components. The iron rusts to discharge power and the rusting is reversed to charge the battery.

Rules that may lead to power plants shutting down have the potential to crimp electricity supply, Grech said, while also adding that he thinks the environmental regulator may be overreaching.

Texas does little to regulate the inspection, maintenance and replacement of utility poles.
