In the summer of 1988, scientist James Hansen testified to Congress that carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels was dangerously warming the planet. Then, beginning around 2009, first wind turbines and then solar photovoltaic panels decreased enough in cost to become competitive in electricity markets. electricity.

It involves pumping water uphill from one reservoir to another at a higher elevation for storage, then, when power is needed, releasing the water to flow downhill through turbines, generating electricity on its way to the lower reservoir. Two types of pumped-storage hydropower; one doesn’t require a river. electricity system.

Activists won a string of local victories, passing municipal and regional laws to ban new and expanded fossil fuel developments. What was missing were government policies capable of shoving economic growth onto a track that required less energy from fossil fuels. Ensuring a cleaner and reliable grid.
