Talking Orison’s Battery. In this week’s podcast I talk with Orison’s CEO. Orison is the startup that recently raised $8.5million for their energy storage hardware product. If you read the comments about the original coverage you’ll see that there is some pushback about the product from inside solar and I ask him some of those questions. Please rate and subscribe to the podcast.
Two Energy Policy Options. The Biden campaign, in collaboration with the Sanders advisors, released a strong and ambitious plan to fight climate change. More renewables, R&D, job training amongst other initiatives. In November there are two options on the ballot and when it comes to energy only one of them has a real plan. There are some great events coming up that I’ll be sharing with you and in the meantime hope you start putting your money behind the policy that increases the market for your work.
Revisiting Equity In The Workplace. BlueWave Solar released their actions and plan to practice anti-racism in the workplace. The plan is simple and to the point and I appreciate their willingness to be open and share it with the industry.
