Harnessing the Energy of a Hurricane Through Energy Infrastructure
Hurricanes, also known as cyclones or typhoons, are immense weather situations characterized by powerful winds, heavy rains, and relentless storm surge flooding. Making them one of the most formidable natural phenomena on Earth. Because of these characteristics, hurricanes have traditionally been seen as a dreadful and destructive force, leaving behind nothing but a trail of devastation in its wake. After all, their ability to disrupt the supply chains, foment accidents, and destroy property has cost communities billions. Flooding, fallen trees, and wind damage individually can cause extensive losses, especially regarding power generation.
From Tides to Turbines: Unleashing Sustainable Energy from the Sea
In a world full of unpredictable circumstances, there is nothing more refreshing than the consistency mother nature has to offer. We may not be able to predict the future, but in the end, we can rest assured that the sun, moon, and stars will rise and fall in their usual pattern each day and night. As will the tides. When it comes to energy, regularity is an indispensable advantage. After all, solar energy is harnessed most effectively when sunny days are guaranteed, and oil and gas are most reliable when access to fossil fuels is abundant. Unfortunately, neither case is certain.

The Power of Trees
Trees are incredibly important in the fight against climate change. They play a pivotal role in reducing the greenhouse effect by absorbing and storing carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Through this process, trees help to reduce the number of greenhouse gasses that build up in the atmosphere, consequently mitigating the effects of climate change exponentially. In fact, trees are often even referred to as “carbon sinks” because of the incredible amounts of CO2 they can absorb and store throughout the course of their lives.
