Gas plants failed at a scale that jeopardized grid reliability for large regions of the United States during severe winter storms in 2011 , 2014 , 2018 , 2021 , and 2022. We used the exact same assumptions as in our Net Zero Pathway, which represents a least-cost mix of technologies and resources for meeting US climate targets.

Until 2018, McHenry was averaging something below 1%. But in 2018 he scored 9% and by 2021 the score was 17%, which seems quite high for a House Republican these days. electricity markets by updating grid scale technologies, which will make grid storage more widely available.” The lifetime score also needs interpretation.

While neither idea was ever implemented, both were examples of a “technosignature” or a “technomarker” – a tell-tale indication of past or present technological activity, pointing out the existence of an advanced planetary civilization. Frank is looking at what kind of signature a planet’s technology might leave in its spectra.

EVs are a newer technology, and their batteries require different end-of-life processing than gasoline vehicles. They connect multiple EV batteries together, along with battery monitoring and cooling technology, to create a larger battery that is about the size of a shipping container.
