Battery storage is a vital part of a cleaner grid because it helps to fill in the gaps left by the fact that wind and solar are intermittent resources. And, like wind and solar, the growth of battery storage is closely tied to a decrease in its costs.it will work with developers to build seven lithium-ion battery storage projects that add up to an eye-popping 770 megawatts, which is more than all of the battery storage projects commissioned in the country last year and enough to power a small city. The projects each use four-hour battery systems. project, located  in central...…Battery storage is a vital part of a cleaner grid because it helps to fill in the gaps left by the fact that wind and solar are intermittent resources.

Second in a series with the Seattle Times on the future of natural gas in homes and businesses.On a summer evening in 2019, city leaders in Berkeley, California, adopted a climate policy that inspired dozens of imitators and an even bigger backlash.The famously progressive city was the first in the United States to pass an ordinance that banned natural gas hookups in new construction.The idea spread to other California cities and is being considered in other cities and states. But opponents also were at work, and they helped to pass laws in four states—Arizona, Louisiana, Oklahoma and...…Second in a series with the Seattle Times on the future of natural gas in homes and businesses.On a summer evening in 2019, city leaders in Berkeley, California, adopted a climate policy that inspired dozens of imitators and an even bigger backlash.The famously progressive city was the first in the United States to pass an ordinance that banned natural gas hookups in new construction.The idea spread to other California cities and is being considered in other cities and states.
