By [Energy Central] Roger Arnold It’s good to see the need for guidance in what qualifies as “green” hydrogen (for purposes of the tax credits dangled in the IRA) getting more attention. The AAAS article linked above references “new research from Princeton’s ZERO Lab”. It states, in part: .. If the energy [for production of…
By [Energy Central] Len Rosen Fusion ignition achieved by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is a triumph of science and engineering. It represents the first step to producing unlimited nuclear energy here on Earth with no radioactive waste. What will it take to turn the results of this experiment into a viable commercial fusion reactor?…
By [email protected] (Bengt Halvorson) DOE research suggests we may face some problems with charging cybersecurity. The Porsche Taycan is eligible for an upgrade that may cut its home charging time in half. And EV tax credit guidance is pushed to March. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. Both automakers and shoppers look for…
By [email protected] (Stephen Edelstein) Research funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is bringing the cybersecurity picture for EV charging infrastructure into focus.
