Red tape has slowed down grid improvements for years, leaving us with a T&D network that needs to be modernized and expanded. Until we see widespread grid improvements, we must ask a necessary question: Can we get aging infrastructure to work harder?
As data centers consume more power, energy solutions are necessary to meet increased energy demand while lowering carbon emissions. Expanded geothermal power might provide a solution that meets both these objectives.
“SOLIS 109 is a first-of-its-kind marketplace connecting a broad range of individual, residential, and commercial consumers with renewable and sustainable products and services,” Burrington explained. “We have just launched our pilot website and mobile app and are now building a robust vendor base before launching to the public in the coming months.”

Now, a city in Georgia is launching America’s first ferries powered by waterjet propulsion.
As demonstrated by a recent U.S. Army development that could replace traditional diesel generators, military innovation can also benefit energy consumers and the planet.
