Wisconsin groups find 100% clean energy + electrification to be ambitious but feasible 100% clean power plus electrification in Wisconsin would cost the same, when counting health benefits, as continuing “business as usual,” and would achieve four times the emissions reductions as 100% clean power alone, found a study sponsored by two Wisconsin groups.
50 states of solar incentives: Kentucky With relatively low electricity rates and financial incentives that are few and far between, Kentucky residents and business owners have not had much motivation to go solar, but change is on the horizon.

Sono Motors is debuting its Sion solar electric vehicles in the US market, while Toyota and Jera are installing innovative second-life battery systems in Japan.
Novel redox flow battery paves way for low-cost storage Researchers have facilitated the decoupling of power from energy design by incorporating a conducting carbon slurry in the negative electrolyte of an all-iron flow battery. In a new study, they describe the design considerations for slurry iron redox flow battery scalability.
