Access to energy will become a human rights issue. All of the 5A's directly impact what it means to the future of being a human, and we believe that one of those fundamental human rights is access to energy.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

Humans can't lead equitable lives without a more renewable, non-destructive and equalized distribution of how to best capture and store energy.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

In fact, the shaky reliability of fossil fuels- the controversies over fracking natural gas and the dangers of coal mining- could fuel the further growth of renewables around the world.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

The next few decades are bound to be disruptive as we uproot entrenched fossil fuel energy structures and replace them with cleaner and cleaner options.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

Experts are predicting renewables will outpace oil in the next decade.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

How big could the future of renewable energy be? Does "encase the sun with solar panels" sound big enough...?"

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

Overall, renewable electricity is expected to grow by 1,200GW in the next five years, the equivalent of the total electricity capacity of the US.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

The International Energy Agency has found that solar, wind and hydropower projects are rolling out at their fastest rate in four years.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

Global supplies of renewable electricity are growing faster than expected and could expand by 50 percent in the next five years, powered by a resurgence in solar energy.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

As more devices- from farming equipment to refrigerators and, yes, even toilets- get connected to the internet, the demand for micro batteries that power the devices that power our lives will increase.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

It can be easy to be pessimistic about the future of the plant, but looking beyond the headlines, you can see innovations coming online that could b standard bearers of a cleaner future.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

One of the creative solutions to power problems is happening in midtown Atlanta: in the summer of 2021, @GeorgiaTech began testing a 1.4-megawatt microgrid in Tech Square.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

It’s an experiment in bringing clean energy to an area that can operate independently of the main power grid, enduring continuous electricity even during power outages.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

The renewable industry has been called a “Wild West” because it addresses a problem that changes with every condition, location and technology.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

Whats best for capturing wind in one part of the ocean might not work in another land-locked country, where motion-controlled solar arrays that track the sun are better investment.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

Where should the money go toward renewable energies? The answer is lots of places.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

While it may seem counterintuitive, for every dollar spent today combating climate change by, say, planting trees in communities, we generate more than $5 in savings in cleaner air and lower energy costs.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

The growth of renewables has broken ahead of the outdated methods, and all eyes are watching the industry.

[Beam Imagination @BeamImagination]

It’s an exciting time to be in the world of alternative energies, when tech coming online all the time that has the potential to rewrite our entire energy sector.
