Offshore wind showed up big during the East Coast’s brutal cold America’s two utility-scale offshore wind farms performed as well as gas power plants and better than coal in January — including during Winter Storm Fern.

A wicked cold spell put the Northeast’s grid to the test. Offshore wind is a huge reason it survived.

Beyond the politics, the news out of Venezuela underscores a hard truth about energy and security.
Fossil fuels concentrate power and invite conflict. Renewables are different: widely available, locally producible, distributed.
A cleaner grid is not just climate policy. Its national security.

Thanks for checking it out. Would be amazing to see people show their support for renewable energy. Feels like its needed now more than ever. Maybe Gridizen is not that way, but please let’s find a way.

As far as sustainability sourcing. That’s been super difficult. All the shirts and hats are printed in the U.S. and I chose brands that use the most sustainable practices I could find given the choices which were limited. 👇

Starting out with 20 or so designs. We’ll see where this goes if it goes anywhere at all. If you have an idea for something you’d like to see post it here or send me a message.👇

I started this little side venture because I wanted a way to show my support for clean energy. Something I could wear loud and proud. And something not mass produced. Most of what I found was not inspiring, so I started playing around. That’s how I got started with Gridizen. 👇

Study disproves idea that weather-dependent renewable energy systems are more prone to blackouts Wind turbines and photovoltaics (PVs) are becoming increasingly widespread worldwide, which could contribute to reducing air pollution caused by fossil fuel emissions. To produce energy, however, thes...

A study from the University of Tennessee rebuts the assumption that renewable energy is more vulnerable to blackouts during extreme weather. Analyzing 2,000+blackout events in the U.S., the research found that renewable grids may actually reduce blackout intensity.
