The 3 Main Clean Energy Solutions
Clean energy fascinates me. I thought I knew quite a bit about it, but
boy was I wrong. The bulk of my knowledge was about the three main
sources of clean energy: wind, solar, and hydro energy. But last night, I
discovered that I had a lot more to learn, even about those three
familiar types.

Tech Woes Not Slowing Market for Data Centers and Their Conduit
If you’ve been following business headlines (or your 401K’s monthly
statements), you’ve likely heard about a lot of layoffs and other
cost-cutting measures at some of the biggest tech companies. After
flying high during the pandemic, when many of us were living significant
parts of our lives online, these firms are finding they might have been
overly optimistic that the growth would continue once Covid’s worst
days had passed.

LED Work Lighting Helps Contractors Get the Job Done
It truly amazes me how LEDs have transformed the lighting industry in
just a decade. In 2012, manufacturers introduced the first bulbs to
match the output of a standard 60W incandescent. They weren’t dimmable
and could cost $25 or more. Fast forward to 2023, and LEDs now dominate
the lighting market, and inexpensive replacement lamps can cost less
than $5 and last 10-20 years.

How to Melt Away Your Snow-Shoveling Chores
With winter now in force, the snow shovel and bag of ice-melting pellets
have returned like migrating songbirds to their seasonal perches on my
back deck. I live in a part of southeast New England that doesn’t get a
lot of snow, on average, but is also quite capable of getting buried if a
nor’easter follows just the right track up the coast.

Cable and Conductor Management: Wiring Troughs and More
There have been many times when I was elbows deep in a wiring trough or
raceway. We sometimes called the smaller units gutters, but all were
raceways and wiring troughs.
