Description

Tesla’s new storage unit has everyone talking about distributed batteries. But is the U.S. market ready for them?
This week, we’ll talk about what needs to happen on a regulatory level to take distributed storage beyond limited applications.
Sky Stanfield, an attorney representing the Interstate Renewable Energy Council, joins us to chat about proactive approaches to storage integration. We’ll also look at a new bill proposed in Congress that would implement best practices on battery and solar interconnection nationwide.
Then, we’ll look more specifically at the cost, applications and reaction to Tesla’s new battery.
We’ll end with a discussion on whether fracking wastewater can be economically used as a geothermal resource.
This podcast is sponsored by ReneSola, a Tier 1 solar cell and module manufacturer with a decade of experience in the cleantech industry.
The Energy Gang is produced by Greentechmedia.com. The show features weekly discussions between energy futurist Jigar Shah, energy policy expert Katherine Hamilton and Greentech Media Editor Stephen Lacey
