However, with the seemingly never-ending safeguards and security protocols that we deal with on a daily basis, it seems that the most fundamental aspect of our security rarely gets the attention it deserves. I am referring to our energy security.

Technology Tuesdays: Liquid Sunlight
Sunlight is probably the most sustainable form of energy that exists; it is certainly the most abundant. The problem, however, is that it can’t be used to fuel everything. For example, we are not able to use it as a fuel for our vehicles. In fact, in most instances where fuel is needed and/or used in our everyday lives, it is in a liquid or gaseous form.

Technology Tuesdays: Is Snow the Answer to Our Air Conditioning Problem?
The race to avoid the most devastating effects of climate change is on and it is driving a lot of innovation. One of the greatest attributes to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) is air conditioning. Air conditioning is one of the great conundrums of our time because the effects of climate change cause us to use more air conditioning to cool us off. Adversely, the more air conditioning we use, the more we negatively affect the climate.
Technology Tuesdays: Advances in Water Heating Technology
Many people overlook their water heaters and often do not know just how much of their home or facility’s energy usage can be attributed to their water heater. Water heaters are one of the most utilized appliances and the most seldom seen. Although we don’t think about them a whole lot unless something is wrong, let’s not overlook some of the biggest innovations in water heating technology of recent decades which have turbocharged energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
Technology Tuesdays: Pre-insulated Pipe
Currently, there are investor-owned utilities that offer considerable incentives for installing pipe insulation due to the great potential for energy savings. However, these incentives are for insulation that is installed after-the-fact where insulation was not previously existing. What if the pipe and the insulation can be installed together as a singular measure?

Technology Tuesdays: Getting to Net Zero
However, do not allow yourself to become desensitized to it but rather take a look at what is being done both in public sector leadership as well as private sector leadership to address this issue. We can use these as signals to think about what changes can be made on the smaller scale to support these efforts.
