Why bother with energy?

Energy is fascinating

Energy is everywhere — from tiny atoms to the warmth of sunlight.

We’ve gone from campfires to electric cars, all because we learned how it works.

Energy matters to all of us

Energy can seem tricky, but once you see it, it’s everywhere.

The more you understand, the smarter your choices become.

That’s why I explain it simply

That’s the whole point of this blog.

No mind-bending terms here. Just clear, straightforward ideas that make things click.

Why manage ten contracts when one will do? EPC agreements offer a turnkey path to building renewable energy projects—streamlined, efficient, and results-driven. Here’s how they work, why they matter, and what to watch out for.

Electrical resistance isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a force that shapes every circuit, every spark, every surge of power. It slows electrons, sure, but it also protects, directs, and transforms. From heating your coffee to lighting entire cities, resistance is the silent architect behind how energy flows. In this post, we explore how resistance works, what factors influence it, and how it quietly balances power and precision in our electrified world.

Cogeneration—aka Combined Heat and Power—makes electricity and useful heat from the same fuel. It’s smart, efficient, and surprisingly underused. Let’s explore how it works, why it matters, and what’s standing in its way.

Dive into Energy

Energy is a big topic, so I’ve broken it down into the essentials. Kick things off wherever you feel the spark:

The foundation: volts, watts, and everything you need to make sense of energy.

From fire and steam to nuclear and beyond — how energy shaped civilizations.

Wind, sun, and water: the clean power sources of tomorrow.

Balancing growth, resources, and innovation to secure our future.

Who buys, who sells, and how the flow of energy shapes economies.

Engines, fuels, and the journey toward clean mobility.

I’m Bratislav

I’ve spent almost 20 years in the energy world, from electricity distribution and markets to renewables.
But 1000whats isn’t about credentials. It’s about curiosity. I started this blog to make energy less intimidating and more human — explained in stories, not jargon. If you’ve ever wondered how power really works (and why it matters), welcome to 1000whats.
