ALL GOOD THINGS MUST come to an end , I suppose . This will be my last issue of Energy Digital that I ’ ll be at the helm for . It ’ s been quite the ride and an experience I ’ ll not soon forget . But hey — enough of that . Let ’ s talk energy . This month ’ s issue is stacked with rad stuff . Our big feature this month is on some of the most innovative solar panel and wind turbine design around . From NASA ’ s origamiinspired panels to Google-owned startup Makani ’ s flying turbine , our issue ’ s got it all .

We ’ ll also dive into the difficult world of managing blackouts . How should utilities respond in this time of crisis ? We ’ ll also travel to South Africa to see how blackouts are causing quite the ruckus .

Finally , we ’ ll take a trip across the Atlantic to check out the top offshore wind farms in the world . Spoilers : Europe is killing it in offshore wind .

That wraps it up for my era of Energy Digital . It ’ s been a great time and I ’ ll certainly miss bringing you the coolest energy-related content .
