March 15th, 2021 By M. L. Warmath “Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right … and a desire to know.” — John Adams, 1765 First of all, you may be wondering why I took on a topic that a lot of people would consider truly boring. Grant you, it’s not the most exciting or dramatic topic but it is an important one, and not everything that’s important is necessarily exciting or dramatic or fun.

“The Grid Storage Launchpad facility will bring together researchers and industry from around the country to modernize and add flexibility to the power grid, advance storage technologies, and boost use of clean energy,” said Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “Deploying new grid technologies means we can get more renewable power on the system, support a growing fleet of electric vehicles, make our grid more reliable and resilient, and secure our clean energy future.” The planned ...

DOE launches design & construction of $75M grid energy storage research facility at PNNL The US Department of Energy (DOE) has begun work on the Grid Storage Launchpad (GSL), a $75-million facility located at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, Washington that will boost clean energy adaptation and accelerate the development and deployment of long-duration, low-cost grid energy storage. The planned facility will include 30 research laboratories, some of which will be testi...
