How The U.S. Can Build A 100% Clean Grid

Published

on



The U.S. electric grid is outdated. Designed for a world that runs on fossil fuels, our grid needs some major tech upgrades in order to transition to a more distributed, all-renewable system. That means smart, internet connected hardware working in tandem with advanced data analytics software to ensure that supply and demand are balanced, even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing.

    That Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series sounds like a fantastic option for outdoor enthusiasts like us! With its massive capacity, powerful output, and fast recharging capabilities, it's definitely worth considering for camping or home backup power needs. Plus, its waterproof design ensures durability during any adventure. Thanks for sharing this recommendation!

    can you please just STOP this BS propaganda of full renewable 100 % clean grid. Just look at the USEIA data and see the % renewable contribution for decades, its still a small % despite billions and decades of investment.

    Green power!! What is green power? Well it is not wind only one place on Earth to recycle them into concrete AND Solar well nowhere near as recyclable! Pump Hydro Yes? Sorry 40% more power to pump it than you get when it falls to the turbines so 25% increase in your power bill. How about a dam that has three banks of turbines ? as it is ALL DAMS RUN ONE BANK it can be made to work RDP Marine Australia has the only units

    If we can get the commie-red cap; republicans to work with us and not against, we would have a clean power supply that could sustain our country/world!

    Edison was against AC power. It was Tesla who came up with the power grid we have today.

    Nuclear and natural gas are clean renewable energy.

    Meanwhile, huge swaths of the electorate don't even accept that climate change is real because they're brainwashed by the GOP and the fossil fuel industry.

    I had to laugh over the quote about Thomas Edison recognizing the grid still today because yes he would, he’d see Nikola Tesla’s grid and maybe by now wish he had gotten off of his plan for many more generators that can only send direct power 1-2 miles, but Tesla left his company over alternating current and Edison lost his company Edison that became General Electric sadly and they too converted to Tesla’s Westinghouse bought system… AC DC, yeah he’d reminded he lost that one

    I just don't like the idea of digging up 50 billion tons of sand every year. Beaches and entire islands are disappearing where we can't see it going on. They are on the ocean's now because mining on land is becoming ugly and people are beginning to see, its also easier to make mess of things hidden below the waves. Concrete buildings must be recycled, any thing in the public arena made from concrete should be recycled. Glass also, glass is 100% recyclable as is concrete. Precious resources we must retain and recycle not disregard.

    Wind solar wave or tidal needs to be charging battery's then at night when the wind is not in use or sun don't shine it makes sense to use battery's charges up instead of coal plants or fossil fuels

    Expensive but it will pay off in years to come
    Don't let oil and gas companies bully us into not using green energy technologies

    Every single month the U.S. fails to build the new ‘Smart Grid’ is a failed opportunity at true energy independence 🇺🇸 it is by DESIGN, profiting Big Oil

    Solar panels are stupid expensive in the USA , in Australia you pay approx $1000 per kilowatt for solar (most of the cost is inverter and installation)
