Italian company Energy Dome has partnered with Google to roll out more of their dome CO2 batteries. The system uses excess energy to liquify CO2 to store energy, and release it by converting the liquid back into gas and turning a turbine in the process.

The construction of dams in the late 20th century has resulted in a shift in the poles by 113cm. By sequestering water, the dams have reduced global sea level by 21mm and the concentration of that water in reservoirs has caused the rotation of the earth to shift slightly to compensate.
