A compound used widely in candles offers promise for a much more modern energy challenge storing massive amounts of energy to be fed into the electric grid as the need arises.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have shown that low-cost organic compounds hold promise for storing grid energy. Common fluorenone, a bright yellow powder, was at first a reluctant participant, but with enough chemical persuasion has proven to be a potent partner for energy storage in flow battery systems, large systems that store energy for the grid.

Before he became George Washington’s vice-president, John Adams was keenly involved in shaping the fledgling United States of America. He had a lot to say about it – and said it often. I chose the above quotation from him because we all have the right – and should have the desire – to know, even if only in broad terms – about what laws are being discussed by our elected representatives and this while they are being discussed, not later, as they will impact all of us one way or another, whether we realize it or not.
