Check out the MIT Energy Initiative podcast with Professors Sadoway and Shao-Horn

Batteries and Storage

In this podcast, Bruce Gellerman from WBUR speaks with Prof. Donald Sadoway and Prof. Yang Shao-Horn. He says, "Today we’ll be pursuing the renewable and clean energy holy grail: storage. The ability to store solar, wind, and hydro energy and release it when the sun isn’t shining, the air is calm, and the water is still, promises to transform our electric power future. In this episode, we’ll explore the current state of storage technology, where it’s going, and how we’ll get there."
