These Are The Startups Applying AI To Tackle Climate Change
"Both climate change and artificial intelligence are sprawling, cross-disciplinary fields. Both will transform literally every sector of the economy in the years ahead. There is therefore no single 'silver bullet' application of AI to climate change. Instead, a wide range of machine learning use cases can help in the race to decarbonize our world."

Renewable Natural Gas Set For Disruptive Growth
"Imagine if you will a renewable source of energy without constraints of time of day or weather. A renewable source of energy whose surface of potential is just now being scratched. Perhaps most importantly in today’s political environment, a source of renewable energy that does not rely on supply chains dominated by adversarial nations as the source of its feedstock, but America’s family farms instead."

Grid-Scale U.S. Energy Storage Capacity Could Grow Five-Fold By 2050
"Across all scenarios in the study, utility-scale diurnal energy storage deployment grows significantly through 2050, totaling over 125 gigawatts of installed capacity in the modest cost and performance assumptions — a more than five-fold increase from today’s total. Depending on cost and other variables, deployment could total as much as 680 gigawatts by 2050."
