EP 78 - Laser Beams From Outer Space | Wendy Jorgensen
Laser beams from space, wind trivia, career advice, and plenty of laughs — this episode has a little bit of everything! Returning guest Wendy Jorgensen joins Adam for another fun and wide-ranging conversation on the Watt’s Up Renewables Podcast. ☀️ We dive into some seriously futuristic renewable energy technology, including a company testing the idea of using satellites in space to reflect sunlight back toward solar farms, potentially extending solar power production beyond normal daylight hours. It sounds like science fiction, but the technology being explored is very real. ️ Then Wendy flips the script and puts Adam in the hot seat for a round of Tehachapi Wind Trivia to see just how much he really knows about one of the most iconic wind regions in the country. The conversation also gets practical as Wendy and Adam talk about career paths in renewable energy, what people should consider when entering the industry, and some valuable interview tips and tricks for standing out and making a strong impression. ♀️ They also discuss the growing importance and impact of women in renewable energy, the value of bringing different perspectives into the industry, and why creating opportunities for more women to build long-term careers in renewables matters. From space technology to wind turbines to landing your next job, this is a fun conversation packed with laughs, interesting ideas, and advice you can actually use. ️ Tune in and see how Adam does in Wendy’s Tehachapi Wind Trivia!
