Geothermal energy: the heat beneath our feet
There's enough naturally occurring heat deep within the Earth to power our planet many times over. This is the story of how it got there and how we're gonna get to it.
Mega-wut? Making sense of energy metrics (part 3)
We're here to get a better feel for how many renewables we need to build, how many we've built already, and how we might compare the relative value of different power producers.
Mega-wut? Making sense of energy metrics (part 2)
The average American household uses about 30 kilowatt-hours over the course of a day. If we only had 30 states, I’d have a great mnemonic device for remembering that.
Mega-wut? Making sense of energy metrics (part 1)
When I first started learning about clean energy, I struggled to contextualize the many numbers, units of measurement, and abbreviations that get thrown around. This is my attempt to make it easier for you than it was for me.
The clean energy transition: why you want it, the sickos who don’t want you to have it, and how we’re gonna get it anyway
We are so close to living in a world in which everyone on earth has access to clean, renewable energy. A world without wars fought over oil. A world without air pollution, which kills 7 million people every year. And, yes, a world that sees the reversal of climate change.
Induction stoves with built-in batteries: how to boil water in 40 seconds
Boil a liter of water for pasta or tea in less than a minute. Preheat your oven 4x faster. Bake, fry, and broil at precise, consistent temperatures. This is the power of induction ovens with built-in batteries.
Everything you need to know about the clean energy transition if you’re not sure you know anything
The clean energy transition to powering everything imaginable with 100% clean energy is already underway. But how long the transition takes is still very much unknown—and not just because Big Dystopia is doing everything they can to slow it down.
