PringleCrocs and Ranch-flavored Burts Bees: 10  brand collaborations that never should have happened

Food brand collaborations are a byproduct of the attention economy. When will consumers have their fill?

The outdated power grid is nearing a crisis point. Here’s how to prevent it

New transmission lines take years to build, and that’s slowing down renewable energy projects. But technology can help make better use of existing infrastructure now.

More than 10,000 proposed solar, wind, and battery projects are currently waiting in line to connect to the U.S. electric grid—more than enough to hit a target of 90% clean energy by 2035.
