What if neighbours worked together to make solar, battery backup, and home electrification easier and more affordable?

I'm exploring a community-led model for Ottawa that focuses on transparency, resilience, and reducing costs through neighbourhood-scale adoption.

No sales pitches. No exclusive vendors. Just neighbours helping neighbours make informed decisions.

DARPA’s latest ExCURSion programme aims to merge the best of batteries and fuel: CO₂ is captured and converted into storable liquid fuel on-site, which can then generate electricity. It’s a modular frontier in portable energy systems—if fuel production speed and sorbent durability can meet the challenge.
