Energy wonk, and lead federal policy at Form Energy. Formerly of ClearPath and US Senate. We make multi-day batteries to ride out winter storms and dunkelflautes!

"It’s more appropriate to think of the lithium-ion battery not as a single invention, but as a steady accumulation of many inventions that were needed to both make a battery practical and to unlock its full potential."

This is true of all innovation.

How We Got the Lithium-Ion Battery
It took decades of research, performed around the world, before a practical lithium-ion battery was possible.

Hi everyone! I am new to Bluesky. I work on energy innovation policy at Form Energy (we are making iron-air batteries), with many opinions about how to use federal policy to catalyze the energy transition. Looking forward to diving into energysky and greensky!

It's happening! NY Governor Kathy Hochul announced today that the first offshore wind turbine has been installed at South Fork Wind. Massachusett's Vinyard Wind erected its first turbines recently too. Pictures via NYSERDA:

The U.S. has eight wind turbines in the water.

Hmm, perhaps when Iron-air batteries start becoming more commonplace we shall see some more wind/battery dual deployment then, since they are more suitable for long periods of charging and discharging.
