Today in Cleantech

Lots of coverage in energy storage and batteries today. I spotted two great pieces on combating wind power’s intermittency problem, one is Wired’s profile on some DoE-backed compressed-air storage projects and the other is Earth2Tech’s piece on Xtreme’s “chemical capacitor” technology that will be used to capture electrons from Hawaii’s fickle breezes. The New York Times looks into lithium-rich Latin America and the opportunities therein, but the most exciting news comes from MIT’s Technology Review arXiv blog, which details a new lithium battery quick-charging method from researchers at Mississippi State University. Although it’s way too early and there’s much work to be done, it’s hard not to get excited about the prospect of charging your future EV in the time it takes to gas up your car today.
