is going to need a lot more solar and wind power generation, and lots of cheap energy storage. Wind and solar power vary over the course of a day, so energy storage is essential to provide a continuous flow of electricity. Two types of pumped-storage hydropower; one doesn’t require a river. To cut U.S.

Hailed as the greatest invention of the 20th century , our now-aging grid was based on fundamental concepts that made sense at the time it was developed. The original foundation was a combination of “base load” coal plants that operated 24 hours a day and large-scale hydropower. Innovations that make 100% clean power possible.
