Fact Versus Fiction on Energy Storage Systems
Often, important emerging technologies get caught up in misconstrued facts and misunderstandings of capacities and roles in an already technology-driven and confusing world. An example of this can be found in a recent op-ed in the Washington Post, "Getting Real on Wind and Solar" by James Schlesinger...

Transmission Lines for Renewables Part 1: Southwest Minnesota
Back in 2003, the Minnesota PUC approved a series of transmission upgrades requested by Xcel energy.
