I am excited to tell you about an incredible scalable sustainable solution that can solve humanities problem for energy demand here on Earth by harnessing it from outer space!
Yes, that’s right! The Donald Bren Foundation and Caltech have embarked on an ambitious project, a transformative approach to large scale solar energy harvesting technology, capable of generating solar power in space and beaming it back to Earth in a form of a radio wave.
Wow…. This is a game changer and must-read article! The article also has an incredible video that captures the technology and provides a great visualization!
Think Greener and Live in the Future
The answer is, yes! For the heat pump to become environmentally and financially compelling, the price must come down and our electric grid needs to be cleaner utilizing renewable electricity derived from wind or solar. Then we would see a large reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the residential sector.
Most homes in the U.S. are heated by burning a form of fossil fuels such as natural gas, oil, or propane. Converting these heating systems to an all-electric heat pump will pay for itself over lifetime. Heat pumps have the technology to heat in the winter and cool in the summer. Greater saving can be achieved if the homeowner considers adding or replacing an air conditioning system.

Amazon Pachamama AllianceThink Greener received great news last night! Our friend Steve from Pachamama Alliance returned safely to the States from a 10-day journey through the Amazon with his small group of ecotourists. They ventured into the Achuar territory of Ecuador where the headwaters of the Amazon are located. It was great to receive his update that all went well and the local indigenous Achuar people of the Amazon welcomed Steve and his small group back to the Amazon after a two-year absence due to Covid. He says, “None too soon as the oil, mining, and timber companies are pushing hard to enter the territory”. The invitation to travel comes directly from the Achuar people and the community based eco-tourism as their main alternative… Continue reading 
A proud moment for Scotland as they implement the world’s largest underwater tidal turbine! 74 meters long, weighing in at 680 metric tons, located in the waters off Orkney, an archipelago in the UK, the turbine is now producing enough renewable electricity to power approximately 2,000 homes!
The turbine is preparing to also send power to an electrolyzer that will generate green hydrogen! You can view the article for detailed information.
