America’s electric grids may need to expand by two-thirds by 2035 to handle future growth in clean energy, the agency said. The nation isn’t on track.
I have to admit that even though this is somewhat on my radar, I had not considered the demands of a truck stop. Over 30MW peak power is jaw dropping.Roughy speaking, a large nuclear plant can supply just 70 truck stops at once. The Grand Coulee dam, the largest hydroelectric dam in the US could supply just 200 truck stops. It’s a staggering amount of juice.It makes me wonder whether all this investment in chemical batteries will be just a bridge technology to liquid hydrogen.
