Battery technologies are all the craze these days as everyone is racing to find the perfect solution to energy storage for the growing share of solar and wind power in the grid.

The first named storm of the Atlantic Hurricane Season took out our power briefly, and while nothing we experienced can compare to the outage still being suffered in the Caribbean from the last hurricane season, this one, Alberto, was enough to remind us of the Korowicz Crunch. We have a standalone PV system on […]
There have always been times where we inadvertently put ourselves in precarious situations. In this case, your best bet is to trust your gut.

“Painful” was the word used to describe the challenging agreement reached last week between the city of Aspen and five parties opposing Aspen’s specious water-storage scenarios in Maroon and Castle creeks.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck.

Humankind has the unenviable duty to address the looming threats of runaway climate change and environmental collapse. At risk are Earth’s millions of species and our human civilisation, all of which could face severe hardship or even extinction by the end of this century.
