If we don't change direction, these blackouts will only multiply

Opinion: The large power outage we experienced at the beginning of the month may be a preview of what is to come for the Israeli electricity sector with the increase in the frequency of heat waves due to the worsening of the climate crisis. The solutions are in our hands, now we just need to implement them, if we don't change direction, these power outages will only increase
A graphic illustration of the properties of the titanium-air battery, in the style of the periodic table of the chemical elements, with the unique electrical and energetic characteristics and properties of the innovative battery. This is how the researchers and developers of the titanium-air battery envision it: removing the oxide protective layer on top of titanium is likened in their eyes to the old Titan, full of tremendous energy but imprisoned in a dark cave for ages. The group of scientists discovered a way to break through the "passive" barrier and release the energy stored in the one-eyed giant - the chemical energy stored in it turns, in the structure of the innovative battery, into electrical energy.

The decision will require new cars sold in 2030 to reduce 55% of the emission levels compared to the cars sold starting in 2021. This rate is much higher than the existing reduction target of 37.5%. Furthermore, new vans sold in 2030 will have to reach a 50% lower emission level than in 2021. Both new cars and vans need to achieve zero emissions in 2035

Innovative methods of optimization, which make it possible to "smooth out" the fluctuations in renewable energy production by shifting the load in the network according to consumption. Said energy is stored during hours of low consumption, and when needed electric power is "injected" into the grid
