TSL: Solve For Nature – 005: IGS Energy’s Jen Bowden and Joe Haugen, Part 1
Today, I talked with Jen Bowden and Joe Haugen from IGS Energy, a company that is building a sustainable energy future for a healthier planet. We discussed the state of America’s current renewable energy resources, what renewables mean for a sustainability-focused future, and the Texas blackouts of February, 2021. IGS Energy is on the forefront of tackling climate change, but let’s see if Jen and Joe feel up to taking on a personal challenge to make their own lives a little more sustainable!
