2017 PEP fellow, Erin Baker, comments in Phys.org about a new scientific paper that says investing in new ways of utility-scale electricity storage and capturing carbon to store underground should be priorities for governments seeking to meet green energy goals. There are other ways to succeed, she says. “Solar power has huge potential, and cleaner vehicle technology – particularly better batteries for electric vehicles – will allow us to reduce emissions from transportation, which now makes up a quarter of the U.S. greenhouse gas emissions,” Baker says.
