Storage can also help increase the reliability and resiliency of the electrical system during and after extreme weather events.

America’s clean energy transition is going to require new and improved technologies for storing energy, which will allow for utilization of more intermittent power generators, like wind turbines and solar panels.

I was proud to join
@SenTinaSmith in introducing the bipartisan Promoting Grid Storage Act of 2019, which would boost research & development of cutting-edge technologies to increase energy storage capabilities for America’s electric grid & enable the expanded use of clean energy.pic.twitter.com/7mVdIKqu3I

Do you also support research into 4th-Generation nuclear power? Canada is leading the way...there’s no reason we can’t be in the game as well.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2017/04/26/canada-aims-for-a-fleet-of-small-modular-nukes/amp/ …

Thanks for sharing that piece. Modular and next gen nuclear is a far better option that wind + solar + grid storage. A real no-brainer.

#Kildeer residents support#greenenergy however permits to install solar are refused by the Village. How can we work together to overcome all the red tape?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Storage is a great grid asset and absolutely worth the effort here. I’d like to highlight also that with more/better transmission, you’d need a LOT less storage to get to high renewables penetration than otherwise. I’d love to see some legislation streamlining/promoting that!!

As
@russelgold describes well in his new book, SuperPower, transmission can't be legislated, we have already tried through the 2007 energy policy act giving@FERC and@DOE emergency powers... - 5 more replies

Are companies researching what blade design works best for wind energy production and will not present a threat to birds and bats? Attended a Bat Monitoring class and learned their lungs literally explode due to the change in air pressure surrounding current blade construction.
