Establishing a national renewable electricity standard will help to unify the fragmented U.S. grid system — an important step in the wider adoption of using more wind and solar for energy generation.

建立一个国家新兴能源发电统一标准将有助于统一美国零散的电网系统，这是广泛采用风能和太阳能发电重要的一步。

According to the computer model, this design could increase wind farm efficiency a hundredfold. The next step for the researchers is to do a field test, trying out these fish dynamics on dry land.

根据计算机模型得出的结果，这种设计可以让风力发电厂效率提高数百倍，下一步就是研究人员的现场测试，看“鱼儿”在陆地上的“游动”。

The first critical step is to understand how the energy gets transferred from the solar wind to the magnetosphere.

首要的问题是，我们得搞清楚能量是如何从太阳风转化到磁气圈中去的。

It is also an "enabler" for renewable energy, providing a source of electricity that can step in to fill the gap when the wind is not blowing or the sun is not shining.

Most of all, there is nothing as satisfying as those moments where you step out on a dark night, the wind blowing, the rain beating down, with a long journey ahead - and decide to catch the Tube instead.
