August 17, 2022 – Wind Views | Energy Transition

While a lot of people are starting to talk about the energy transition, here at One Energy we have spent the last decade building it.

This week’s Wind View shows three of our Wind for Industry turbines and the plant they service. As a Utility 2.0 company, One Energy provides physical solutions that operate in and improve upon a decentralized power grid. These turbines provide on-site, renewable energy to our industrial customer, helping lower their carbon emissions and reliance on the grid. As a result, customers are less dependent on traditional utilities and unpredictable energy pricing. Customers deserve the right to choose where they get their power, and that is a transition we can get behind.

August 10, 2022 – WindViews | Who Run the World?

The One Energy construction team says: girls!👷‍♀️ 🎵 👷‍♀️

This week’s Wind View captures two of our construction technicians in action. In the middle Kerry is getting ready to signal another dump truck to back in and unload a pile of stone. Then, grading the piles of stone on the right is Emily in the bulldozer. 🚚 These two make it look easy, but that’s only because they’re experts at what they do. Much like perfecting a well-choreographed dance, it takes a lot of hard work to find a rhythm that makes the process go smoothly!🎵

August 03, 2022 – Wind Views | A Change in Perspective

This week’s Wind View is a change in perspective!

As a Utility 2.0 company, One Energy provides its customers with physical solutions that can shift the way they think about their energy. Here you see one of our Wind for Industry projects where we install utility-scale, wind turbines behind-the-meter to directly power our customer’s facilities. These projects offer customers 20-year fixed-rates and provide insulation from unstable energy prices.

 

  

July 27, 2022 – Wind Views | Hands on Tours that Measure Up

When we say One Energy tours are a hands-on experience, we mean literally… hands-on!

This week’s Wind View shows Salvation Army Summer Day Campers inspecting and measuring #windturbine blades during a tour of the North Findlay Wind Campus. It can be difficult to understand the scope of our projects from afar. In-person tours offer visitors the chance to get up close and personal with the work that we do. Our goal is to be as informative as possible, hopefully inspiring knowledge and future interest. Come visit to see (and feel!) a One Energy #WindforIndustry project for yourself.

July 14, 2022 – Executive Thoughts | Lawyers Aren’t Special

As a lawyer, I have noticed a phenomenon. People tend to assume you’re right and what you say holds special weight. Even if I am just brainstorming on possible downside scenarios, people assume what I am saying is gospel and that the path forward is doomed. On the other hand, if I say everything is a-okay, few people push back.

If you have noticed yourself doing this with a lawyer, or doctor, or any professional for that matter, please, for the sake of your company or yourself, stop. Sure, lawyers have special training, but lawyers aren’t, by virtue of being a lawyer, special or right. And you are doing yourself and your company a disservice if you treat them that way.

I will never forget my first orientation meeting at law school. A Dean walked into the room of new law students, and she said: “Look around you. At the end of law school, some of these people you will trust with your life. Others you will not trust to watch your dog for a weekend.”

After closely working with lawyers for about a decade, I can honestly say, she was absolutely right, which is terrifying.

Lawyers are meant to protect your legal rights. In some circumstances they are protecting your freedom, in other circumstances, they are protecting your livelihood. The idea that some of them are mediocre at best, and just plain terrible at worst, is a thought that shouldn’t make a person feel warm and fuzzy. But it’s the truth. All lawyers are not created equal. Just because someone graduated from law school and passed the bar, does not mean they are a great lawyer. Most law school classes don’t teach the law of the state or jurisdiction that a person practices law in, and most law school classes don’t pertain to the area of law someone practices. Not only that, the bar exam is a standardized test. It can’t possibly capture the complexities of the real world or all of the skills it takes to be a great lawyer.

So, what does that mean for you?

It means that, like with everything else in life, you can make better decisions on behalf of yourself or your company if you do your homework and are scrutinizing. When you are hiring a lawyer, don’t just pick the only lawyer you happen to know. Dig deeper. Research their firm’s website. Find references. Interview them (they shouldn’t charge you to do this). Familiarize yourself with the issues, and then try to get your potential lawyer to demonstrate that he or she understands them far better. Once you are working with a lawyer, make sure that you continue to scrutinize. And if you ever start to get a hint that you aren’t getting the legal advice you should be, don’t hesitate to say goodbye.

Lawyers have credentials, yes. But that does not mean that they are special, or that they are always right. Always question, always scrutinize, and always look for the lawyer who you “trust with your life.” Because there are lawyers out there who you should. And they are absolutely the person you want on your side when it is all on the line.

July 13, 2022 – Wind Views | Intern Experiences Make Experienced Interns

At One Energy, our interns are given real tasks and responsibility from day one. They get hands-on 🖐️ experience and training side-by-side full-time employees.

This week’s Wind View shows OE intern, Will, and technician, Kerry, performing civil work. As Kerry breaks up the ground with the bulldozer, Will flattens behind her with the road roller. 🚜🚧 That is some impressive teamwork!
