Hard Reset Podcast: Chicken | Episode #4 Aug 11, 2023

Show notes

What if we could produce clean, cruelty-free protein without the enormous carbon footprint associated with traditional animal agriculture?

Cell-based chicken has just received FDA clearance in the U.S., and while this food technology is seemingly a solution for many current limitations within the food system, there are just as many skeptics as there are evangelists.

Nick Tucker and the Hard Reset hosts sit down for a conversation about lab-grown chicken: The pros, the cons, and the question on everyone’s mind––would you eat it?

Hard Reset Podcast: Heliogen | Episode #3 Jul 28, 2023

Show notes

What if renewable energy were more efficient and accessible? A company called Heliogen is hacking solar power to make climate-friendly energy more ubiquitous and drive fossil fuels out.

The scalability of Heliogen’s tech offers opportunities for powering industrial processes, such as desalination plants and vertical farming, which require substantial energy inputs.

This technology has the capacity to unlock new possibilities for sustainable development and enhance global efforts towards a greener future. By utilizing the power of the sun in an advanced and efficient manner, Heliogen has the potential to revolutionize energy systems, mitigate environmental impacts, and pave the way for a more sustainable and renewable energy landscape.

Hard Reset Podcast: Buildings | Episode #2 Jul 21, 2023

Show notes

What if the building blocks of our future cities were modular, shipping container-like units, akin to oversized LEGO pieces? Although modular construction has existed for more than a century, only recent techniques have made it possible to efficiently assemble and disassemble a modular building without jeopardizing its structural integrity.

It also has the potential to speed up recovery in disaster-stricken communities, enabling swift, efficient reconstruction. Still, this future hinges not just on technology but also on policy. Current building codes and zoning laws often lag behind such innovation.

For modular construction to flourish, it is going to require local communities to adapt their rules and regulations to accommodate new techniques.

Hard Reset Podcast: Vertical farms | Episode #1 Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

What's the future of vertical farming? Can it become economically competitive with conventional farming? And, perhaps most importantly, does vertically farmed produce actually taste good? These are just a handful of the questions explored in this episode of the "Hard Reset" podcast.

Vertical farming involves growing crops in stacked layers in controlled indoor environments. While it offers solutions for urban agriculture, sustainability, and food security, it faces challenges including high setup costs and limitations on growing staple crops.

Despite this, its future looks promising, with potential for innovation in technology, potential widespread adoption from commercial entities to homes, and a role in reducing agriculture's carbon footprint.
