Storage: An Industry in the Making

Storage: An Industry in the Making

Christian Bonawandt, IMT
Governments don't create markets. Its a fact & ask anyone. But government funding can help bring early-stage technologies closer to commercial scale. That's been the case with energy storage systems. In 2009, President Barack Obama and then-Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced $620 million in stimulus funding for 32 smart grid demonstrations. Approximately $185 million of that funding was for energy storage systems.http://news.thomasnet.com/green_clean/2013/04/23/an-industry-in-the-making-doe-discusses-energy-storage/
