When we model commitment to pursuing excellence in our work and our character, we can’t help but inspire those around us to expect more from ourselves as well. If you haven’t seen the movie Groundhog Day, you’re either very old, very young, or completely detached from contemporary culture. Upon its release in 1993, the title instantaneously became a buzzword for the haunting feeling of living the same day over and over. 

PFAS compounds have carbon-fluorine bonds, one of the strongest in chemistry. Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, have earned the nickname “forever chemicals” from their extraordinary ability to stick around in the environment long after they’ve been used.

Clearloop is helping develop solar farms in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana—where renewable energy development has been slow. In some areas of the U. S., solar and wind farms generate a large percentage of the electricity on the grid. But in other areas, the grid remains much more reliant on carbon-polluting fossil fuels.

Freight trains criss-crossing the country carry cars of coal and tanks of oil and natural gas to power plants to help keep the nation’s electric grid going.
