The entire world is transitioning from fossil fuels to clean energy sources for our electricity, heating, cooling and transportation.  Technologies such as energy efficient light bulbs and appliances, solar and wind powered electricity, air and ground source heat pumps, and electric vehicles are transforming our lives. Communities, schools, and workplaces are adopting zero-carbon technologies that will also reduce costs and improve our health and safety.  But did you know that the industrial sector is responsible for one third of global greenhouse gas emissions and that industry is...

Quantum Quote:  “It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold...

Quantum Quote: “Save the climate with profitable wave power.” – Jan G. Skjoldhammer   Each and every year, uwe are burning more fossil fuels, ruining our children’s futures and all of our lives.   What we’ve been missing is a more cost-effective and climate-saving solution that’s been around since the very beginning of time.   Wave power—about three times more stable than wind—has the potential to provide energy equal to all the electric consumption of everyone in the world right now!    Jan’s message is that wave power alone could provide most of our...

Quantum Quote: “Save our soil in the hopes that the soil might just save us.” - Woody Harrelson   We all have to eat - but agriculture is something we often don’t think about And, even when we do, we don’t think much about how it affects our environment. But climate smart grants, carbon credits, and goals to become “net zero” have now made agriculture a hot topic in the mainstream media over recent years.   Sustainable agriculture provides a fast and direct path to the eco-friendly changes we want, and climate smart farming can create more resilient crops and healthier...

Why Homeowners & HVAC Contractors are Switching to Geothermal - with Emily Ostrander, ClimateMaster show art Why Homeowners & HVAC Contractors are Switching to Geothermal - with Emily Ostrander, ClimateMaster

AWESome EarthKind

Geothermal heating and cooling systems are no longer new in the market. Contractors and homeowners are recognizing that cash and tax incentives reduce both upfront investments and monthly operating costs - while creating quiet, sustainable and & more comfortable indoor air environments.   Truth be told, some geothermal systems have a price tag that at first appears to be a lot more than a conventional system. But with a 30% federal tax credit, additional local tax credits and utility rebates, that number can make a geothermal HVAC system cost only slightly more than a conventional...

Quantum Quote: “Save the climate with profitable wave power.” – Jan G. Skjoldhammer
 
Each and every year, uwe are burning more fossil fuels, ruining our children’s futures and all of our lives.
 
What we’ve been missing is a more cost-effective and climate-saving solution that’s been around since the very beginning of time.
 
Wave power—about three times more stable than wind—has the potential to provide energy equal to all the electric consumption of everyone in the world right now! 
 
Jan’s message is that wave power alone could provide most of our energy needs. Help propel the future of energy solutions and help save the climate with profitable wave power; It may be the missing link we’ve all been looking for.
 
Jan G. Skjoldhammer is the Founder and CEO of Novige AB- or NoviWavi - a wave energy developer that uses ocean waves to generate electricity. Jan has been an officer, captain, instructor and display pilot with a well-developed technical side, having built a race car in his youth, among many other projects. He is a natural-born entrepreneur with a tireless ambition and an environmental awareness that has led him to make a significant positive impact on the world and mitigate climate change.
 
Skjoldhammer's entrepreneurial endeavor in property development laid the monetary foundation of NoviOcean in 2016, with early retirement from his long-time career at SAS Airlines. Today, Jan leads a team of like-minded individuals who also strive towards saving the climate with profitable and renewable wave energy technology.
Today’s podcast is sponsored by EarthKind Energy Consulting (www.EarthKindEnergy.com) Email [email protected] for a free 20 minute consultation to discuss your energy cost pains - and how solar, heat pumps, and electric vehicles may provide you with the means to save money while improving the environment and leaving a proud legacy for your children.

 
SuperNova #1. Wave power’s potential globally is estimated to be about the same as humanity’s current electrical consumption, about. 29,000 terawatt hours per year.   For the US, about 66% of the total consumption in the US can be provided by wave power. 
 
SuperNova #2. Wave energy generators are low on the horizon, hardly visible, don't make any disturbing sounds, and do not harm any animal life, birds or sea life;
 
SuperNova #3. Wave power is about three times more stable than wind power. But combining wave power with solar and/or wind energy can provide five times the power and meet all our energy needs, eliminating our dependence on fossil fuels.

Combining wave power with solar and wind provides the missing link for energy.
