Long before reaching a store shelf or factory floor, most of the things we rely on every day begin their lives far upstream. The phone in your pocket, the clothes you wear, the medicines in your cabinet, the fertilizer that grows food, even the foam and fabrics in the seat beneath you all trace their […]

On a small island in the South Pacific, about 6,500 kilometres from the California coast, something quietly extraordinary happened in late 2016. The island of Ta’ū, home to roughly 600 people spread across three villages in American Samoa, had for generations depended on supply ships for nearly everything, including the drums of diesel that kept […]

A common narrative in the energy transition is that the grid (power lines, substations, and vast transmission and distribution networks) will ultimately determine how fast we can scale new generation. Policymakers, utilities, and analysts point to massive interconnection queues, chronic congestion, and the need for trillions in new infrastructure as evidence that the system is […]

Brandolini’s Law states that “the amount of energy needed to refute a lie is an order of magnitude larger than to produce it.” In simple terms, misinformation is easy to create but far harder to correct. A misleading claim can be delivered in a few seconds, while debunking it requires evidence, context, and careful explanation. […]

There is an ongoing debate about the future of energy: should we focus first on producing clean electricity and then electrify our lives, or should we electrify as much as possible now and worry about greening the grid later? The evidence clearly favors the second approach. We should electrify everything we can immediately, even on […]
