We start with a simple question: do we really need diesel fuel to power our future? At first glance, it’s a question about the blue economy, about ships and how we move goods. But look a little closer, and it’s actually a question about where evolution and technology are taking us as a whole. It's …
Food has historically been supplied in a way that can be considered autocratic, with control concentrated in the hands of a few. Historical Examples of Autocratic Food Supply Throughout human history, control over food production and distribution has often been used as a tool for political power and social control. This is particularly evident in …
The core principle is "buy low, sell high" or "charge low, use high." This involves storing electricity when prices are low (typically during off-peak hours or when renewable generation is abundant) and then discharging or using that stored energy when prices are high (during peak demand periods). This practice is being applied across various scales, …
In recent years, the phenomenon of ice melt in the Northern Hemisphere has garnered significant attention, particularly in regions like Norway. Norway's glaciers, along with other Arctic ice masses, are melting at an accelerated pace due to rising global temperatures. This ice melt not only impacts local ecosystems and communities but also contributes to a …
The United States stands at a pivotal moment, with its policy decisions poised to profoundly shape the global energy landscape. The world is in the midst of an undeniable transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, and the critical question is no longer if this will happen, but how fast and who will lead. …
ChatGPT said: Outlawing curtailment of solar production in Europe and replacing it with time-of-use (TOU) arbitrage would require both regulatory reform and a shift in how the grid and energy markets operate. Here’s a clear and practical breakdown of how that could be done: 🔧 1. Outlawing Curtailment: What That Means Curtailment occurs when solar …
As we look toward the future, it's clear that our energy systems must evolve. We are in the midst of a transition away from the traditional, combustion-based methods of power generation that have dominated for centuries. This shift isn’t just a matter of technological innovation; it is a necessary adaptation to the changing needs of …

In 1963, I first learned about locally generated power. I was working on my junior high science project on solar power in Evanston, Ill. My pen pal, George Mathews, a Georgia peanut and cotton farmer, told me how excited he was when he made the first solar-powered phone call on Oct. 4, 1955 — and …
