  • Anything and everything we do requires energy, and the key to using renewable sources that only work when the sun shines or the wind blows will come with our ability to store it. Tom is a native of Kansas, but headed east for graduate school, earning a PhD in chemistry from the University of Rochester. After a postdoctoral stint at the California Institute of Technology, he accepted a faculty position at the University of Kentuck yand was later promoted to Associate Professor. A small company in Michigan called Gentex Corporation managed to lure him into the industrial world, where he served in various roles for the rapidly growing company, eventually becoming their Vice President for Chemical Research and Aerospace Technology. In 2012, Tom became the Director of R & D at the Michigan State University Bioeconomy Institute, and in 2015, he co-founded a tech startup, Jolt Energy Storage Technologies, LLC. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Smaller scale renewable energy can be the saving grace for the many outlier communities that will never get power lines extended from urbanized centers It may even reverse the trend of people migrating from the countryside to the cities.

    took 14 minutes to come to the point. that too explaining vaguely.

    The storage capacity of batteries needed to avoid the need of fossil fuel is way beyond reach.

    Hydroelectric power plants, fossil fuels power plants and Nuclear power plants are obsolete and not needed. Edison generators and dynamos have been sitting on the shelf with out inverters and transformers. Edison built the first grids at 110 120 V ac he used inverters and transformers to reach power line voltage AC.

    The key to clean energy generation system is Edison generators and dynamos. Permanent magnet motors as generators and brushless motors as dynamos easily replace fossil fuels and nuclear power plants. These generate electricity without fuel or pollution. A continuous source of electrical energy generation. Propaganda control is preventing improvement in power generation system and distribution.

    Carbon dioxide is removed from atmosphere with water humidity and becomes carbolic acid near the cuties. Acid rain is normal and good because all plants and animals produce carbon dioxide which reacts with water to form carbolic acid for millions of years. We are adapted to acid rain. All of the plants and animals require acidic environmental conditions. The rivers should be acidic.
