Invention will held build our storage understandings

Necessity being the mother of invention is becoming increasingly apparent as climate change worsens.

Our flagrant and inappropriate use of fossil fuels as an energy source has been a wonderful bonus to humanity, but equally it has seriously derailed life on earth.

Having applied that wonderful and relatively cheap and transportable energy source to fulfilling many of our aspirations, we now search about in an effort to keep alive much of what those aspirations produced.

Of course it was the exploitation of that seeming “free energy” that allowed for the achievement of many things and so although we understand the near endless supply of renewable energy, particularly solar, we now wrestle with understanding how we store it.

Subsequently, much effort is going into understanding storage and just this week greentechgrid: reports that the “US Energy Storage Market to Grow 250% in 2015”.

It reports: “The U.S. is on the cusp of a breakout year for energy storage, according to the inaugural U.S. Energy Storage Monitor report from GTM Research and the Energy Storage Association (ESA).

“The country is forecasted to deploy 220 megawatts in 2015, more than three times its 2014 total, and growth should continue at a rapid clip thereafter”.
