Description

Renewables are now super cheap and abundant. We could install nearly a half terawatt of new wind and solar capacity this year – more than the entire capacity of China.

Today: how to make good use of all the new renewable electrons hitting the grid. 

Latitude Media Editor Lisa Martine Jenkins brings us a story titled, “The excess renewables opportunity,” by contributor Emma Foehringer Merchant.
