When other types of power plants go dark, hydropower provides a fast, crucial response in seconds. Courtesy of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. By Kelsey Adkisson, PNNL America’s most critical piece of energy infrastructure — the grid — is more vulnerable than ever before. The reasons are two-fold: a shift in power source mix is affecting grid […]

EIA Releases 2050 Projections For Energy & Makes It Clear That It Hasn’t Been Paying Attention

It’s unclear why the EIA 2050 projections are so skewed from observable realities of costs, age of fleets, and global industry transformation. Like most major energy analysis organizations, they are very poor at predicting the rapidly declining costs of wind and solar, very poor at predicting the rapidity of growth of those technologies, and very poor at understanding that the existing technologies are fairly radically outcompeted
