Tidal characteristics near Nikiski in Cook Inlet, showcasing how energetic the tide environment is. Max current speeds reach around 3.5 m/s or 8 mph or 7 knots, comparable to the Tanana River. The longer term plots also show the long-term patterns that we don't usually notice on the weekly basis. This is used for planning renewable energy along the railbelt and beyond

One of the big potential upsides to electrified vehicles and renewable energy is the potential for vehicles to act as a battery for the grid, storing renewable power then releasing the excess to other places. Known as V2G (Vehicle to Grid), the technology is just in its earliest stages of deployment. It is however making waves where it is deployed, like this story:
