Electricity

Electricity powers our lives, yet most of us treat it like magic. Flip a switch, things glow. But behind that glow is a vast machine—generators, grids, and lots of geeky engineering keeping the sparks flying.

Voltage: The persuasive friend

Funny ultra-realistic illustration of a giant hand (Voltage) pushing lazy cartoon electrons off a couch and into a lightbulb, symbolizing electric current.

Voltage is that pushy friend who won’t let electrons sit still. One nudge and—zap!—your phone lights up, your car starts, and lightning throws a tantrum. In this post, we’ll spill the shocking truth about voltage: what it is, why it matters, and how it keeps your world buzzing.

Energy products: From the energy shelves

Supermarket shelves filled with energy products such as coal, oil, gas, solar panels, wind turbines, biofuels, and nuclear rods, with digital displays showing prices and environmental data.

Energy isn’t just fuel—it’s a product that powers, builds, and even heals. From coal to renewables, every energy product tells a different story about how we shape the world. The way we classify, use, and innovate around them will define the future of our economy, our environment, and our everyday lives.

LCOE: The true cost of electricity

LCOE (Levelized Cost of Electricity) is the go-to metric for comparing the true cost of energy—from solar and wind to nuclear and gas. It shows how much it really costs to generate power over a plant’s life. Simple, powerful, and essential for smart energy decisions. Here's what it means—and why it matters.

Electric charge: From balloons to batteries

Electric charge is one of the fundamental forces shaping our world, influencing everything from the way atoms bond to the power that keeps your devices running. Whether it's the static electricity that makes your hair stand up or the complex movement of electrons fueling technology, electric charge plays a vital role in our everyday lives.
