The Clean Energy Edge

Finding suitable land is one of the biggest challenges facing utility-scale solar development. But what if some of the best opportunities aren't undeveloped greenfields at all? In this episode of The Clean Energy Edge...

America needs a lot more electricity — and sooner than many people realize. NERC’s latest projections show 10-year summer peak demand growth at 224 GW, more than 400% of what it was projecting just three years earlier...

Tesla may be getting passed by competitors when it comes to EV innovation, but there's one area where it still has a major advantage: charging. As a longtime Tesla owner, I've used the Supercharger network for years...

What if large sections of a utility-scale solar farm could arrive at the project site inside standard shipping containers—factory assembled, prewired, and ready to deploy? That's exactly what the Maverick system is...

Tesla didn't just help create the modern EV market - it completely disrupted the automotive industry. But somewhere along the way, the company that forced everyone else to innovate seems to have stopped doing much of it...

America needs more electricity - but generating it is only part of the challenge. We also have to move that electricity to where it's needed. In this episode of The Clean Energy Edge Podcast, Russ breaks down why...

Nuclear power is back in the spotlight. As artificial intelligence, massive data centers, manufacturing, and electrification continue driving electricity demand higher, many believe Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) could...

As electricity demand continues to grow, difficult questions are beginning to emerge. -What happens if the grid can't keep up? -Who gets priority when new data centers, manufacturers, and growing communities all need...

Every solar, battery storage, and data center developer knows that finding the right site is only half the battle. The bigger challenge is identifying the hidden risks that can derail a project BEFORE you've already...

Building a utility-scale solar project isn't just about selecting the right equipment—it's about reducing complexity. Every additional delivery, material handoff, and on-site assembly step creates another opportunity...

Solar panels on water may sound unusual, but they're becoming one of the fastest-growing innovations in clean energy. In this episode, Russ explains why floating solar is attracting attention around the world, where...

As electricity demand continues to grow, one of the most common criticisms of utility-scale solar is that it requires too much land. But what if that's no longer true? In this episode of The Clean Energy Edge Podcast...

Solar and agriculture don't have to compete for the same land. In this episode of The Clean Energy Edge Podcast, Russ explores agrivoltaics—a growing approach that combines farming with solar energy. Learn how farmers...

Electricity demand is growing rapidly. AI. Data centers. Manufacturing. Grid modernization. Electrification. Everyone is talking about the need for more power generation. But there's a question that doesn't get asked...

Everyone is talking about the need for more electricity. AI. Data centers. Manufacturing. Grid expansion. But almost nobody is talking about the equipment required to actually build the infrastructure that delivers that...
