World
Millions of people in the Global South still lack access to electricity or clean water, yet the world is demanding a rapid global shift away from fossil fuels.
Infrastructure
In other words, wildfire-proof homes should be the new American dream. Fireproofing homes is one relatively low-cost solution to hold onto the American dream.
Energy
The future of affordable, reliable, clean energy should not depend on the government. Instead, it should depend on consumers' choices. While governments can help by enacting policies that empower and reduce barriers to clean energy development, businesses and individual consumers will be the fundamental drivers of change, demanding cleaner, more sustainable energy.
Science
Our food system is under pressure. Water shortages, soil degradation, a changing climate, and a growing global population make it harder to grow enough food using traditional methods. At the same time, cities are expanding, and development is replacing farmland.
Culture
Artificial intelligence is changing the world at an incredible pace. From automating tasks to generating human-like conversations, AI is becoming an essential tool in nearly every industry. However, many people don’t realize that AI consumes a massive amount of electricity.
Energy
Computers are consuming more power, generating more heat, and demanding greater efficiency than silicon alone can provide. Now, the industry is seeking alternatives, and one material stands out as a potential game-changer: graphene.
Policy
Beyond consumer electronics, these chips enhance economic efficiency and reduce environmental impact. They drive advancements in electric vehicles (EVs), smart grids, and energy expansion, making them an essential tool for sustained economic growth and technological progress.
Science & Tech
In a world increasingly driven by artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and high-performance chips, semiconductors have become the foundation of modern life. They power everything from smartphones and self-driving cars to the AI models transforming industries.
Science & Tech
Only recently has fusion achieved net energy gain—producing more energy than it took to initiate. However, recent advancements and increasing private investment have sped up progress, making fusion seem closer to reality than ever before.
Culture
Community-driven clean energy projects often address local problems more effectively than big corporations or governments can. In Taos, New Mexico, Kit Carson Electric Cooperative improved an unreliable power supply by installing microgrid-small-scale, self-sufficient power grids that generate electricity for a localized area.
