À propos de cet audio

As a UI/UX designer by trade, I explore how sustainable and smart technologies impact our lives. And I try to dive deeper into those topics to provide context. Topics like electric vehicles, solar panels, and renewable energy that is meant to transition the world off of fossil fuels. Smart home technology that can make our homes not only more convenient, but safer and more accessible. Wearable technology that can track our health and save lives. Or how technology might be invading and breaking down the walls of our privacy. So in short... Exploring how technology impacts our lives.Matthew Ferrell

  • How This Bifacial Solar Panel Reaches 91% Efficiency
    Sep 9 2025

    How This Bifacial Solar Panel Reaches 91% Efficiency. Take your personal data back with Incogni! Use code UNDECIDED at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: http://incogni.com/undecided What if I told you there's a way to get up to 30% more power from the same solar panel footprint? No breakthrough chemistry. No quantum physics. Just one simple change that’s finally starting to catch on. They're finally putting solar cells on both sides of the panel. And now one company has achieved something remarkable: the back of their panels is 91.7% as efficient as the front. But here's why this is actually huge news: they've done it with cheaper technology that was supposed to be inferior. So what's actually going on here? And why does the back of a solar panel matter so much?

  • This Seaweed Was a Caribbean Disaster, Now It's Gold
    Aug 26 2025

    This Seaweed Was a Caribbean Disaster, Now It's Gold. Head over to eightsleep.com/mattferrell and use the code MATT to get $200 off Pod 5 Core and $350 off Pod 5 Ultra. Caribbean beaches are ankle-deep in slimy, smelly seaweed. Wave after wave of sargassum is blanketing shorelines from Barbados to Cancún. It traps sea turtles. It smothers coral reefs. And it drives tourists away from islands that depend on them. This seaweed isn't just crashing weddings on the beach. It's crashing Caribbean economies. But what if sargassum wasn't just a mess, but a raw material? What if we could turn it into bricks, biogas, and even buttery soft T-shirts? What if the right refining is all it takes to transform this weed into biodegradable packaging and high-performance composites? This is the story of how Caribbean and international start-ups are transforming the seaweed invasion into a sustainable resource. And we all get the t-shirts.

  • How the U.S. Just Handed the Renewable Future to China
    Aug 19 2025

    How the U.S. Just Handed the Renewable Future to China. Go to https://surfshark.com/undecided or use code UNDECIDED at checkout to get 4 extra months of Surfshark VPN! This summer the United States made a $559 billion decision. The consequences of that decision could make your next car $7,500 more expensive and send your electricity bills soaring unpredictably. On July 4th, 2025, President Trump signed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" into law. But this bill that was evidently supposed to make States more self-sufficient really just gave our energy independence away. Solar alone employs nearly seven times more U.S. workers than coal. Yet the current administration is cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from the sector creating jobs. Today, I’ll explain what this big bill actually does, the staggering numbers behind its context, and how it impacts your daily life. Because regardless of your politics, we all pay electricity bills, we all need jobs, and we all want to avoid being left at the mercy of another country’s supply chain.
