A set of four second-life 32kW/32kWh batteries which started life in Nissan EVs were used for the 130kWh battery project, co-located at a 1.2 MW solar park in Tudela.
WASHINGTON More than half of the structures in the contiguous United States are exposed to potentially devastating natural hazards such as floods, tornadoes and wildfires according to a new study in the AGU journal
Earth s Future, which publishes interdisciplinary research on the past, present and future of our planet and its inhabitants.
Increasing temperatures and environmental changes contribute to this trend, and the research also shines the light on another culprit: the way humans develop open land, towns and cities. We know that climate change is increasing the risk of damage from some natural hazards, said Virginia Iglesias, a research scientist with the University of Colorado Boulder Earth Lab and lead author of the paper. But are losses also increasing because of the way that we are developing our cities, our towns?

Hyderabad: State-imposed lockdown seems to have come as a blessing in disguise to Hyderabad, at least for the choking megalopolis, if not for its citizenry. Within a span of six days of going into the lockdown, the pollution levels have dropped considerably leaving the city’s skyline a bit placated. The lockdown which was imposed across the state on May 11 due to the second wave of Covid-19 has led to the reduction of air pollution.

A cross-platform Argonne collaboration is optimizing a tool developed after Hurricane Maria to find essential connections between critical infrastructure that will help owners and operators plan for and mitigate a variety of potential hazards.
Major disasters, whether natural or human-caused, most often have a devastating impact on local infrastructure that can result in the interruption of humanitarian efforts and deal an economic blow to communities large and small. No matter where you are in the world, these infrastructures are intimately linked, so that the failure of one can have a cascading effect on others.
Unfortunately, the details of how they re interconnected isn t always fully mapped out, making it hard for communities to determine which to bring online first after a disaster. However, Argonne is developing resources to help make the connections between the electrical grid and other lifeline infrastructure natural gas, clean water, he
