#101 We visit a solar farm that is producing food and generating energy via Agrivoltaics, reflect with the founder of The Rocky Mountain Institute on the importance of energy saving energy, and learn from an Ohio 11-year-old about the importance of bees.
#102 We visit a factory where the worlds first electric tractors are rolling off the assembly line, visit the Beringer Vineyard’s large solar array which is used to produce world class wines, and learn about Biochar, a soil additive that revitalizes depleted soils and helps sequester carbon.
#103 We travel to Washington State to the Skagit River Hydroelectric Project, the largest low impact hydro plant in the US that provides clean power to the City of Seattle, and learn about The Farm Collaborative which runs a farm incubation program to help young farmers practicing regenerative agriculture to succeed.
#104 We visit Canoo, an electric vehicle startup making electric vehicles that are affordable to everyone, and we learn about how Source Hydropanels has invented a system to harvest drinking water out of the air even in the driest climates on earth.
#105 We travel to Iowa where MidAmerican Energy is delivering 88% renewable energy to its customers using wind and solar power, and we visit EV West’s speed shop where classic gas powered cars are being preserved and converted to electric vehicles.
#106 We learn about how Beta Technologies is building a zero emission battery powered vertical takeoff and landing aircraft or eVTOL as they move toward decarbonizing the aviation industry, and we visit Blue Rock Station a sustainable living center in Ohio where interns learn about eco-friendly buildings, renewable energy and green living.
#107 At MIT, we learn about how Quaise Energy’s “millimeter wave” drilling technology will enable access to deep geothermal energy to re-power the worlds fossil fuel driven power plants. Craig Lewis of The Clean Coalition explains how community solar microgrid projects help towns transition to locally generated clean energy.
#108 We tour the Sol Lux Alpha condominium where a solar canopy provides 100% renewable energy and powers electric vehicle chargers in the garage, and we learn about Loliware, a materials science company that’s developed seaweed pellets that can be used to create products that biodegrade safely and much faster than standard plastics.
#109 We tour of the Delta Electronics Net Positive corporate headquarters powered entirely by solar and geothermal energy, And travel to the Highwall Project in West Virginia where an abandoned strip mine is being converted to a farm/ecotourism site and learn from WVU law students how their state can make the transition away from coal dominated economy to one driven by renewable energy.
#110 We attend the exclusive UP Summit in Arkansas where innovative entrepreneurs, investors and policy makers meet to accelerate the future of mobility, and learn about the “Clean Energy Columbus” program that mandates the city of Columbus, OH will run on 100% renewable energy.
