Keep going. That’s the number one piece of advice that Flor Serna, the founder of Electric Girls, has for aspiring entrepreneurs. Electric Girls is a Louisiana-based nonprofit dedicated to equipping girls with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to pursue careers in STEM fields.

As Serna knows firsthand, young entrepreneurs often face a variety of challenges when they’re starting out: doubt, ridicule, and a tough time generating the necessary resources to make their dream a reality. But Serna calls for persistence. “If it feels like there isn’t space for you at the table, create your own space.”

$This new battery could re-industrialize America — if we let it America has some of the best solar and wind energy in the world — and this company thinks they’ve found a cheap, reliable way to store it.

And we need to be good stewards of the environment. But can we really achieve both? Innovators at Antora Energy, a hard-tech company, think so. They believe their solution can tackle a major challenge with renewable energy: Its power generation is unpredictable. To prove their solution works, they’re attempting to revolutionize heavy industrys energy dependence through a unique carbon-based battery system. Antoras solution is a solid carbon battery capable of storing large amounts of energy when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining, enabling an abundant, reliable energy supply. This has the potential to significantly reduce heavy industrys emissions, which currently account for around 30% of global emissions. Compared to lithium-ion batteries and other energy sources, Antora says its carbon battery offers similar energy storage and usage at a fraction of the cost. Antora believes this technology could potentially drive a shift in the energy landscape and a re-industrialization in the US powered by renewable energy. Despite regulatory challenges, Antora envisions a future of universal access to abundant, zero-emissions energy.
