Renewables and geopolitics: The United States
An accelerated transition to renewables could go either way, regarding the United States’ unique geopolitical strength. According to Indra Overland – head of the Center for Energy Research at the Norwegian Institute for International Affairs – the U.S. could surrender a major advantage if it abandons fossil fuel. The nation could, however, remain dominant in the global energy sector if it continues to lead on innovation and clean energy tech-related intellectual property.

Germany will need 160 GW of solar by 2030 to prevent power shortages
EuPD Research has calculated what needs to be done to replace the nuclear and coal generation to be phased out in Germany. Accelerated expansion of PV appears the best short-term option. However, storage capacity will need to increase 30-fold by 2040 so solar can become the main pillar of the country’s energy system.

First glance of polarons creating in an appealing next-gen power material
Polarons are short lived distortions in a material's atomic latticework that develop around a moving electron in a couple of trillionths of a 2nd, then promptly disappear. As ephemeral as they are, they impact a material's actions, as well as might even be the reason that solar cells made with lead crossbreed perovskites attain astonishingly high effectiveness in the lab.
