What if the energy systems your business relies on today aren’t as secure or efficient as you think? In this highlight episode, we sit down with Amory Lovins, cofounder of RMI and a pioneer in integrative design, to explore how business leaders can leverage local microgrids, second-life EV batteries, and advanced efficiency strategies to cut costs, improve reliability, and future-proof operations.

Listen in as we break down how smarter design, flexible usage, and modular storage can turn energy from a liability into a competitive advantage. From filling stations running independently of the grid to semiconductor plants saving millions through integrative design, you’ll learn practical approaches to make energy a source of profit rather than risk.

What You’ll Learn in Today’s Episode:

• Local microgrids can reduce energy costs and improve resilience.
• Second-life EV batteries offer modular, profitable energy solutions.
• Flexible energy usage can unlock unused grid capacity.
• Advanced efficiency in design often beats building more supply.
• Strategic upgrades save millions and boost sustainability.
• Practical examples from utilities, factories, and vehicles illustrate these concepts.
