Storing #energy as #heat is cheaper than storing energy in lithium-ion or other chemical #batteries. Our Jeffrey Rissman explains what thermal batteries are and how they provide low-cost electrified heat for manufacturing processes. https://lnkd.in/emi39kKn

#Colorado has secured $1.7 billion in #cleanenergy investments since the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was signed into law. Recently, there have been threats to repeal the IRA, which would increase household energy bills and cut 140,000 jobs. Our Silvio Marcacci's recent piece in The Colorado Sun highlights how federal and state officials can protect Coloradans' wallets and climate progress. https://lnkd.in/ePXvirje

#Energy demand is spiking, and the need will continue to grow. Today, we release a paper that proposes a new solution to this problem - energy parks. Energy parks combine multiple #renewableenergy sources with storage solutions like batteries and often co-locate with #electricity consumers such as factories or data centers, all connected to the grid at a single point. This approach accelerates development, reduces costs by sharing onsite infrastructure, and optimizes efficiency by directly linking complementary resources. 👉 Check out the full report: https://lnkd.in/emCUAD_k

The truth about rising electricity bills? Volatile fossil fuel prices + extreme weather impacts are the culprits. The solution? Clean energy - states with the highest renewables deployment have the lowest price hikes. https://lnkd.in/d-UvaPBn

#Texas is a leading beneficiary of Inflation Reduction Act incentives for renewable #energy development and stands to lose thousands of jobs if the IRA is repealed. Our Robbie Orvis spoke with Houston Chronicle's Claire Hao to discuss the impacts that Project 2025 would have on Texas households. https://lnkd.in/e2kACgCE

Our Anand R G. met with MotorTrend Group to discuss #electricvehicles and the reliability of charging infrastructure in the United States. The American grid has been challenged by load growth in the past, and it has evolved to meet those demands. Despite recent concerns, #EV adoption should not break the grid. 📽️ Check out the full video https://lnkd.in/eWquek4y

"Add it all up, and IRA repeal would kneecap America’s burgeoning clean energy industry just as it’s surging ahead in the race with our economic competitors – and the U.S. business community agrees." Silvio Marcacci https://lnkd.in/eadrSHHN

#Heatpumps run on #electricity, which makes them 3 to 5 times more efficient than gas-fueled heating systems. Our Sara E. Baldwin's recent Forbes piece dives into the heat pump discussion and analyzes how this cost-saving #technology can be deployed to maximize their clean heating benefits. ⚡ 🌡️Read the Forbes piece: https://lnkd.in/e_Efp6sq ⚡ 🌡️ Check out the Heat Pump Toolkit by Agora Energiewende, Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP), Global Buildings Performance Network (GBPN), CLASP, and Crux Alliance: https://lnkd.in/exgrSrMP

Historically, as countries' economies have grown, so has their #energy use. Our Robbie Orvis spoke with Cipher News' Cat Clifford about the efficiency of #cleanenergy technologies and their role in increasing GDP without spiking #emissions.
