Takeaways:
- Researchers from Michigan Technological University have found that a fully renewable energy grid could be achieved if the country converted mines into hydro-powered batteries.
- This conversion would stabilize a grid powered by wind and solar, absorb excess power and make up for times when there is too much or little power.
- The research team says these can be an opportunity to bring sustainable economic resources to communities that have been abandoned by mining.
