Norway: Energy Country Profile
A few points to note about this data: Renewable energy here is the sum of hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass and wave and tidal energy. Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important energy source in lower-income settings.
A Kentucky mine may be turned into a giant, water-powered battery
Rye Development wants to dig two water reservoirs — one high and one low — on a former mine in Bell County. They call it the Lewis Ridge Pumped Storage Project. When water is released downhill, it would run through a turbine which sends enough hydroelectric power to the grid to power a little less than 70,000 homes for up to …
