Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a low-cost energy storage system that could be integrated into roads and building foundations to facilitate the renewable energy transition.

Unlike batteries, which rely on materials in limited supply, the technology could be produced cheaply using materials that are readily available. Possible to charge electric cars while they are travelling across it.

    As soon as some new energy storage invention article mentions electric cars I know it’s bullshit. Electric cars are not green and they are not a solution to anything. Where an electric car is best to use, a car shouldn’t be used at all.

      Electric cars are also great outside of cities, where public transit never will be, because it’s inefficient to run even a daily bus line for 7 people.
