Watch It Wednesday #15

Heliogen is a budding company utilizing concentrated solar power (essentially reflecting and magnifying the suns rays to a small area, creating intense temperatures that are then harnessed to produce useable energy such as electricity). The company uses a novel AI approach to guide its mirrors and promises to be capable of mass scale production and modular construction. Heliogen looks to be an interesting company with the potential to make a big impact on our future energy use while mitigating climate change.
