Renewable Energy with guest Michael Carroll

This week we welcome our guest engineer, scientist and inventor, Michael Carroll. Mike shares a little bit about the incredible work his company, Helios Altas, is doing with hydro-powered energy in remote places around the world in need of power. We also discuss the current state of renewable energy, how water dams are theme parks for fish, and wind energy is not for the birds. 

Indoor Farming

When most of us picture the word 'farm' we imagine acres of outdoor land with Old MacDonald and his many noise-making animals, but what about the world of cultivating crops indoors? This week, Noel and Jacob present some of the ways people are planting in shipping containers, shelves and even a NASA inspired futuristic rotating sphere for your kitchen!
