First 3-D Nanoscale Observations Of Structural Changes In Rechargeable Battery Material During Operation
The first 3-D nanoscale observations of the structural changes that occur in the anode of a lithium-ion battery during operation (discharging and recharging) were recently achieved by researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory. This achievement is expected to lead to a much greater understanding of such processes, and, as a result,

Solar Storage Scandal In California (In Depth)
Originally published on the ECOreport. SolarCity spokesperson Will Craven said that about 500 of their California customers have agreed to install batteries for power storage, but the state’s three biggest utilities have only connected 12 since 2011. He decided to go to the press after Southern California Edison (SCE) said they were going to charge

Brammo Empulse Electric Motorcycle (VIDEO)
Originally published on Gas2. The Brammo Empulse is one badass electric motorcycle, and this cutaway video goes beneath the skin of this electric crotch rocket to show what makes it go. As we covered in our reviews, the Brammo Empulse is no joke on either the streets or the race track. But what makes it all go?

Elon Musk On 100% Renewable Energy, Solar Energy Potential, Li-ion Battery Components…
Originally published on Lenz Blog. It is of course correct that eventually all energy will be renewable, and the only question is how fast that happens. Fossil fuel will run out eventually. It is also correct (in my opinion) that we should rather not gamble with the amount of CO2 that can be safely released.

Why Solar Isn’t Enough
By Vic Shao The past few weeks of sunny weather have been paying off, literally, for California’s solar companies. On March 16th the state set a new record by drawing more than 16% of our energy use from solar energy. But even that isn’t enough for those of us that want to see our communities reach net
