#oldnews - Updated Jan 10, 2026 I Came to CES to Check Out Energy and Solar Power Innovations and Found That China Is Running Laps Around Us > LAS VEGAS—Elon Musk once said that if you wake up believing the future will be better, it’s a bright day. Walking into CES in Las Vegasfor the first time ever this week, I expected that brightness. What I found instead was uneven lighting, particularly in the area that concerned me the most: consumer-grade energy storage and solar generation. > My interest is personal. More frequent and intense storms in North Carolina, where I live, have been disrupting our power in the summers and winters. I’m also working from the road a lot and need power for my electronics. So I’ve researched ways of generating and storing my own power, all while watching the tech’s acceleration—especially in the East.https://uk.pcmag.com/power-supplies/162522/i-came-to-ces-to-check-out-energy-and-solar-power-innovations-and-found-that-china-is-running-laps-a #CES2026 #SolarPower #CleanEnergy #China #EnergyStorage #TechInnovation #RenewableEnergy #CES #SolarTech #ClimateTech #NorthCarolina
