With a freshly closed $7 million seed funding round and an additional $14.5 million in federal … [continued]
As global electricity demand grows, traditional energy sources are under strain. Oceans, which cover more than 70% of Earth’s surface, offer vast potential for clean energy from renewable resources such as ocean currents and waves. However, marine renewable energy development is still in its early stages compared to wind and … [continued]
Update: It’s April 2 now, see footnote. It is widely repeated that Winston Churchill once said, “You can always count on Americans to do the right thing — after they’ve tried everything else.” Although it’s not clear if Churchill ever did actually say that, it has become a popular quote … [continued]

And if you’re a homeowner or business owner in certain parts of the country, your ability to get coverage — let alone afford it — may soon disappear entirely. This isn’t some far-off projection for the 2040s. It’s happening now. From 2017 … [continued]
I’ve wanted to install solar for a long time, but there has always been a reason it doesn’t make sense for me. When I first wanted to install solar about 8 years ago, it didn’t make sense, since my roof was 15 years old, and it adds a lot to … [continued]
I grew up in Florida and lived here through college. Then I moved away for about 14 years. Then I moved back about 6 years ago. In short, I’ve lived here for approximately 3 decades. We went through some hurricanes when I was younger, and were certainly threatened by many … [continued]
The Miami area is seeing a big increase in building construction, which may be destabilizing existing buildings.
