TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the recent dramatic reductions in the underlying costs and market prices of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, and their implications for decision-makers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the key results from the Renewable Electricity (RE) Futures Study and conclude that renewable electricity generation from technologies that are commercially available today, in combination with a more flexible electric system, is more than adequate to supply 80% of the total U.S. electricity generation in 2050.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the status of the light-duty-EV market and current projections for future adoption; insights on market opportunities beyond light duty EVs; cost and performance evolution for batteries, power electronics, and electric machines that are key components of EV success.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the implications of achieving such high levels of renewable electricity for supply chains and the environment in scenarios with renewable supply up to such levels, and showed that transitioning to high renewable electricity supply would lead to significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and water use, with only modest land use implications.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a technique for digesting geospatial wind-speed data into areally defined wind resource supply curves, and discuss the importance of downscaling gridded wind vector data to capturing the full resource potential, especially over land areas with complex terrain.
