Hurricane Redux: Toxic Sludge, Climate Denial and Battery Storage

Before you do anything else, buy tickets to our live show on October 4 in New York City. It sells out fast, so get your tickets now!

One year after Hurricanes Harvey and Maria crushed Texas and Puerto Rico, Florence became one of the ten costliest hurricanes in U.S. history.

North Carolina is still reeling from severe flooding. And like Houston last year, the damage was made worse because of coastal development policies — even while state scientists sounded the alarm about rising sea levels.

We’re going to recap where things stand.

Then, residential battery storage. All these storms are creating new demand for batteries. It’s changing solar. We’ll discuss how much.

And then the billion-dollar pickup for Lucid Motors. Weren’t the Saudis supposed to take Tesla private? How did they end up throwing a $1 billion into lesser-known electric car company?

The Energy Gang is brought to you by Mission Solar Energy, a solar module manufacturer based in San Antonio, Texas. Mission Solar's high-performance solar panels have the highest testing ratings among any North American manufacturer in the market. Learn more about Mission's high-efficiency modules.
