Myths and Facts: Renewable Energy for Engineering Companies
Renewable energy refers to energy sources that can be renewed naturally, such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power, that serve as long-term alternatives to fossil fuels by lowering greenhouse gas emissions and alleviating climate change.
In the engineering sector, renewable energy is an important subject because many businesses want to embrace environmentally friendly procedures and lessen their carbon imprint. Renewable energy is still a topic of numerous myths and misconceptions, which could discourage some businesses from adopting this technology entirely.
In this blog, we will look at some of the myths and facts surrounding renewable energy for engineering companies.
Myth #1: Engineering companies cannot afford renewable energy.
Fact: While renewable energy solutions may initially cost more than conventional energy sources, however, could potentially be significant long-term cost benefits. Solar panels and wind turbines are two instances of renewable energy sources that lack fuel expenses and few maintenance requirements, which eventually results in cheaper operating costs. Many governments offer tax breaks and incentives to businesses that make investments in renewable energy.
Myth #2: Renewable energy is inconsistent and unstable.
Fact: Variability in renewable energy sources like solar and wind is an issue, but smart grid technologies and devices that store energy may mitigate it. As they are less susceptible to interruptions in the fuel supply or the operation of transmission lines, renewable energy sources could prove more reliable than traditional ones.
Myth #3: Engineering firms require more energy than renewable energy sources can supply.
Fact: Several companies are successfully leveraging renewable energy to fulfill their energy requirements because of recent substantial advancements in renewable energy technologies. Some businesses are capable to produce surplus power that can be sold back to the grid, providing an additional revenue source.
Myth #4: Renewable energy is only economically viable for particular types of engineering companies.
Fact: Every size of business and each sector of the engineering industry may utilize renewable energy. Renewable energy can reduce costs and support the environment for any organization, small or large, regardless of scale.
Myth #5: Businesses located in regions with limited solar or wind resources are unable to invest in renewable energy.
Fact: Even though certain areas may have fewer wind or solar resources than others, renewable energy systems can nevertheless be practical there. Smart grid technology and energy storage devices have the potential to manage fluctuation and ensure a consistent supply of energy.
Summing up
To summarize, engineering companies striving to minimize their carbon footprint and implement sustainable practices should consider renewable energy a feasible and beneficial choice. Although there still exist a few myths and misunderstandings about renewable energy, the facts demonstrate that this technology is a wise investment for businesses of all sizes and in all engineering industry areas. Businesses may save money, lessen their influence on the environment, and help develop a future that is more sustainable by embracing renewable energy.

Doodles I did today bc I've been. Exhausted. So more silly roommate au
And Ted can fit so much religious trauma
About AM's screen: he can put anything in his screen-head (they'll look like pixel art however and normally a more simple version of it) and he can't sleep per say; HOWEVER! He can go through a hibernation/resting mode where he is still aware of everything, but he's using only the necessary of his fuctions to, well, fuction; so it's a way to save up energy instead of getting more energy (like sleeping)

The mystery of the Half Life babies.
Original post here!
Info under the cut !!
I got a lot of comments on my last post about old half life advertisements asking what the hell is up with the three separate posters including scary babies and children with lambda symbols burned into their eyes. I didn't really think much of it at first but in hindsight, yeah, that is really weird.
I decided if I wanted to keep my self-made title of "Black Mesa's Historian" I should go digging.
After searching and searching I've found...... nothing.
Old reddit threads and forums theorize it's supposed to represent the Nihilanth, the only baby-like creature in the game (ignoring the photo in Gordon's locker.)
In the Half Life 2 book Raising The Bar, Gabe Newell states the Nihilanth's design was heavily influenced "by the horror aspects of pregnancy and childbirth, to which Valve turned after being inspired by the birth of Gray Newell, Gabe Newell's son."
The Nihilanth's wiki entry.
BUT this doesn't really answer much. Because these ads were NOT made by Valve. They were made by Sierra, a European publishing company responsible for publishing the Half Life series. After going through their games history I've discovered a crucial detail.
They had no idea how to advertise this game.
Police Quest (1987), Leisure Suit Larry (1987), Quest for Glory (1989)
You see, these were the games Sierra was making. 2d point and click adventures. How they somehow managed to get their hands on Half Life is beyond me, and for another post.
All I can assume is Sierra didn't know how to advertise this 3D survival horror FPS made by rowdy Americans to their European audience.
Postal (1997), Resident Evil (1996), Doom (1995)
Remember, this was the 90s. Gaming was the next big hobby for boys. Advertising wasn't meant to show you gameplay, characters, and story. It was meant to be rough, scary, gorey, and awesome. Sierra probably took inspiration from the dozens of other dark shooters around at the time and based their campaign around that. Why they picked babies with evil eyes.. I don't know.
In the end, we may never know the true thought process behind the evil Half Life babies, it doesn't stop me from trying though.
