Climate Solutions & Green Technology
📋 What it is
New technology — batteries, EVs, green hydrogen, smart grids — is making clean choices cheaper and easier.
🗣️ Coach says
Green technology is racing ahead. Cheap batteries store solar and wind energy for when the sun isn’t out; electric vehicles cut transport emissions; smart grids balance clean power; and heat pumps warm homes efficiently. Every year these get cheaper and better — making the clean choice the easy choice.
🧠 Memory hook
Green tech: batteries + EVs + smart grids + heat pumps → cleaner choices getting cheaper each year.

What did the Paris Agreement say?
"195 countries agreed to keep warming under 2°C — now we just have to actually DO it!"
😲 Whoa!
Battery prices have fallen about 90% in a decade — the single biggest reason electric cars and solar-plus-storage are now everywhere.
✅ Quick check: Why are batteries so important for clean energy like solar and wind?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
They store the energy for when the sun isn’t shining or wind isn’t blowing, making clean power reliable.
Storage lets intermittent clean energy run around the clock.
