An uncooperative transition
Policymakers increasingly take for granted that major private sector investments will be crucial to decarbonizing energy systems. Most decarbonization plans also involve expansion of the electricity grid to accommodate the electrification of processes and technologies currently powered by fossil fuels. Baked into these dominant policies and discourses is the assumption that electricity can and should be treated as a commodity, and must be rendere…
From obstacles to heritage
While the cryosphere is deteriorating due to climate change, mining of critical minerals is expanding to supply the clean energy transition, often in glaciated regions. We explore the convergence of these trends through a systematic review of 93 articles from 1875 to 2023. Informed by the framework of the “hydrosocial cycle,” we attend to both material and epistemological links between mining and the cryosphere, as well as how these links have ev…
Grid-scale batteries and the politics of storage
From Tesla's experimental 'Virtual Power Plants' to the US's Energy Storage Grand Challenge, grid-scale batteries - which attach to the electricity grid to buffer supply and demand - are sites of intensifying research, speculation and legislation. They are increasingly positioned as a transformative means to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Indeed, batteries are not the only form of storage in the spotlight: A variety of stored forms, includ…
