About

Our lifestyle is powered by energy, yet many of us know very little about it. In Energy Bite, a weekly 90-second podcast focused on energy technology, opportunities, and challenges related to every day life, listeners will learn how a city keeps traffic moving in a black out and hear answers to quirky questions like: Should I use wood to heat my home? Just how smart are ‘smart meters’ anyway?

Each episode features interviews with energy experts from Carnegie Mellon University’s Scott Institute for Energy Innovation.  Listeners can participate by asking the experts questions to explore in future episodes and by responding to polls linked to the stories. For more information, visit the website at: www.energybite.org.

The Wilton E. Scott Institute for Energy Innovation at Carnegie Mellon University is focused on:

• Using and delivering the energy we already have far more efficiently
• Expanding the mix of energy sources in a way that is clean, reliable, affordable and sustainable
• Creating innovations in energy technologies, regulations and policies

CMU is uniquely suited for these challenges with our many research centers and longstanding faculty expertise in technology, policy, integrated systems and behavioral science.

What makes us different is our ability to seamlessly combine these areas for maximum impact.
