Short eternity or The long end of Soviet academicism by Володимир Верлока

“…The author analyzes the documents of the era – the publication of texts by Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin, Volodymyr Vernadskyi, Nikolay Bukharin, Petr Kapitsa regarding the role of science in society. The author also turns to the analysis of the key philosophical texts of the era, which are direct evidence of the open position of Soviet philosophers on various issues, such as the definition of science, truth, and practice, and also finds out the specific influence of the doctrine of communism on the idea of Soviet academicism as the only politically permissible and at the same time as supposedly the only scientifically possible academic position. …”

Long-duration energy storage in transmission-constrained variable renewable energy systems by Andrew K. Chu, Ejeong Baik, Sally M. Benson

“…Unlike other valuation metrics such as levelized cost, substitution ratios can quantify the system-level value of many different resources. Science for society: If emissions-free power from controllable sources such as nuclear energy or fossil fuels with carbon capture and storage is not accessible, long-duration energy storage (LDES) is essential for decarbonizing the electricity grid, as it helps balance supply and demand of electricity over extended periods when solar and wind power are unavailable. …”
