energy

Several projects are being funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Energy (ARPA-E) for the development and research of using liquid battery electrodes that reduce costs while increasing energy density. These new batteries have the ability to be recharged or replaced with new fuel.

The lack of conversation around the environment, climate change, and our energy economy during the 2012 election season, while widely noted, still seemed to attract little attention. Certainly health, financial and national security issues were more immediate concern for many voters. Yet, the lack of initiative at the federal level has not kept technical innovators, astute business people and local governments from moving forward with new ideas for addressing our environmental and energy concerns.
