Still on the forefront of our minds is the trajectory our energy future is taking. It is only through community education and involvement that we can make changes to our energy infrastructure, which is exactly what Community Power is trying to achieve through the Power Conversation Series. Here are some photos from last week's most recent Powerful Conversation:

Through savvy design and the intensity of the sun, renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly impossible to dismiss as viable replacements for fossil fuels. It has recently been reported by ScienceAlert, an Australian and New Zealand online science only publication, that a solar thermal plant in Newcastle, Australia has heated steam to 1,058 degrees Fahrenheit and to 3,400 PSI, which are measurements that categorize the steam as “supercritical” in the energy sector. Only supercritical steam can power the most advanced generators in the world. Such a feat was previously only possible through the burning of fossil fuels and  as such this marks a huge step forward for solar.
