S3E8: A Mighty Urban Wind Future with Erika Boeing

Hosted by Lisa Ann Pinkerton

Hello Earthlings! In today’s episode, our host Lisa Ann Pinkerton (CEO of Technica Communications) and our guest Erika Boeing (CEO and founder of Accelerate Wind) discuss how we can generate energy from small wind turbines, similar to solar power! 

Historically, small wind technology has faced obstacles, but Erika Boeing’s background sets her apart. With her impressive experience as a NASA mechanical components intern and her work on “Project Drawdown,” Erika brings a wealth of expertise in engineering and research to the table.

Erika and Accelerate Wind are unlocking the potential of untapped renewable energy in urban environments, without disrupting the urban landscape! Join us as we explore the world of small wind technology, redefining the possibilities for clean and sustainable energy right in the heart of our cities. Stay tuned for an enlightening conversation on the future of urban energy solutions!

Talking Points

  1. Long Development Process: It requires careful design effort, testing, and iteration,  time and work to develop a dependable little wind turbine that can endure different circumstances.
  2. Concentration on Certification: To make sure their product is solid and dependable, they worked along with the National Renewable Energy Lab.
  3. Potential of Small Wind Energy: Unlike large-scale wind farms, small wind energy has the benefit of catching wind energy in urban areas, particularly at night when the wind is more likely to blow.
  4. Challenges in Small Wind Energy: The cost and reliability of tiny wind energy have been the main market concerns.
  5. Integration with Solar: The firm is developing wind turbines to support solar installation projects. The sustainability of commercial buildings can be improved by combining solar and wind energy generation to produce an energy supply that is more dependable and consistent.
