Exploring how we generate cleaner power, from solar panels and wind turbines to geothermal, hydro, and next-generation nuclear.
Ocean currents and tides are an enormous amount of renewable energy just waiting to be harvested. With tidal power we don't have to rely on building massive dams and waterways that disrupt the environment in order to capture that power. Even though visions of underwater bladed turbines might
We've all seen the massive damns and aqueducts that provide power to cities around the world, but there's an untapped potential beneath our cities. Gallons of high-pressure water flowing through our water pipe infrastructure every day; wasted energy dissipating through pressure-reducing valves and canal drops. It&
Wind power is one of the fastest-growing renewable sources that works well at scale, but it isn't perfect. A wind turbine's massive size and moving parts make them challenging to roll out because of the space they take up, as well as maintenance. But what if
When Tesla released their Solar Roof it really piqued consumer interest in solar tiles. And it caught a lot of people by surprise when Tesla recently increased the Solar Roof's cost by a pretty big margin. But they're not playing this game alone. Let's
What if I told you there was an always-on, carbon free, renewable power source deep beneath the earth's surface. Why haven't we been using this power source, literally available under our feet, as much as possible? Let's look at the explanation behind Geothermal energy and it's challenges ... one of
Tesla made a huge splash in the solar panel world when they unveiled the latest version of the Tesla Solar Roof. But since then we haven't seen too much about it. Is it a bargain or a bust? Or are solar tiles about to go mainstream? I talked to Weddle & Sons Roofing to learn more about it from an in
With the growing popularity of solar and wind, we sometimes forget another powerful low-carbon energy source: nuclear. It can be a divisive topic, but there's a really interesting alternative to building out massive, expensive nuclear plants that's worth talking about: Small Modular Reactors. What a
Hydropower may not be The New Technology on the Block, but this old school tech may have a few tricks left in it. With other renewables like wind and solar gaining momentum, is there still room for growth? Are there any downsides hydropower has to address? And what about technology advancements ...
There's a lot of people that want to go solar, but just can't because of cost or they don't own a home where they can install it. What if there was a way for you to get the benefits of solar, but without needing to install solar on your roof?
It's been two years since I installed solar panels on my home in the Boston area. How's it been going? Let's take a look at how much it cost, how much it's saved, how it's been holding up and what type of maintenance it's taken.
Solar power has seen record growth over the past decade, created an incredible number of new jobs, and is one of the most affordable forms of generating energy. But with all of those panels popping up across rooftops and open areas, what happens when it comes time to replace them? And do the environ
I’ve been left wondering why so many companies, like Nikola Motors, Toyota, and Honda, are still supporting fuel cell vs lithium ion battery technology. What are the pros and cons? And is there a future for fuel cell vs battery beyond cars?
