How to Create On Demand Renewable Energy

Renewable energy like wind and solar power can be harnessed to provide stability to the American power grid. One of the biggest challenges in this endeavor is storing energy collected during daylight or windy conditions for use during other times of day. Mechanical Engineer, and 2023 NSF Waterman Award recipient Asegun Henry talks about how thermal energy is ultimately the key to renewable energy's success. Henry is a mechanical engineering professor at MIT.
