Attendees Pedal for Power In First Bike-Driven Music Festival Stage Setup

Attendees of a Rhode Island music festival pedaled full speed into the next chapter of music festival-based environmental sustainability. Illiterate Light, an indie duo from Virginia, partnered with Rock The Bike to deliver their vision for a bike-powered stage at the 2022 Newport Folk Festival. The “Bike Stage” marked the first time the technology was implemented in a music festival setting, according to the band’s frontman, Jeff Gorman. The Associated Press reports attendees each took five-minute turns pedaling on the bikes, providing power to the stage from the frontlines.

Lorde Said Her Upcoming Album Was Almost a “Big Acid Record”

In a new interview, Lorde shared a few origin stories behind her hotly anticipated Solar Power LP—and some tantalizing comments about its potential electronic influences. Ahead of her third studio album, scheduled to drop on August 20th, the indie pop superstar discussed the record in a new episode of The New York Times’ “Diary of a Song” series along with longtime producer Jack Antonoff. Waxing poetic about the inspiration behind Solar Power, Lorde said she thought she was going to make a “big acid record.” “The references are so deep, conjuring that slight kind of ‘cult leader,’ ‘take the drug I’m about to put on your tongue’ sort of world,” she explained. “I say, ‘Let the bliss begin’ [in ‘Sola...

How Alternative Power Solutions could Mitigate Load Shedding

Sourced from the South African. South Africa continues to feel the effects of load shedding, resulting in a decrease in productivity and disruption to business operations. Eskom announced earlier this year that load shedding is expected to continue into 2021 as power demand exceeds supply and more downtime is needed for overdue maintenance of the system. Some of the effects of load shedding include: Damage to electronics: the surge of electricity when the power is returned upsets the steady voltage flow in the electrical system. Loss of production: where most businesses use electricity for machinery, technology and light to complete the day’s work, loss of electrical power means that the day’s target cannot be completed. Data loss: power outages can cause data loss and corruption. Thi...

Energy Storage Technology Could Put an End to Africa’s Blackouts

Sourced from The Times UK. A shift from Africa’s traditional approach to power generation is needed to unleash the continent’s clean energy potential and secure an African future free from blackouts. A strategy centred around energy storage and flexible power systems will be the key to guaranteeing the reliability of a high-renewable grid, while also lowering the cost of electricity for Africans. As Africa’s economies and populations steadily grow, so too does the demand for reliable electricity. Simply put, new power plants need to be built, and the reliability of electrical systems needs to be vastly improved. But here is the challenge: How can African countries build an electrical system that can both integrate a large amount of inexpensive but intermittent renewable energy, while at th...
