By funding the promising high-risk and high-reward projects, ARPA-E has proven an essential part of the ecosystem trying to solve the world’s most significant energy crises (climate change, fuel shortages, energy storage, etc.), as often such moon-shots ideas are considered by private investors too uncertain and require too long before potential returns. I’ve detailed in a previous post what’s so special about ARPA-E, or the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, and how it’s become a critical agency under the Department of Energy (DOE) by providing financial support for innovations in energy technologies. Fear not, I’m here to help you put together some topical costumes for those in the energy field with pieces you can find at the local party store or order on Amazon Prime, continuing my trend of shoehorning energy topics into holidays! For more Halloween coverage, see my article from last year comparing the carbon emissions associated with different ways to light your Jack-O’-Lanterns. Taken together, that means you fit the bill of someone looking for a last-minute costume who would love to throw something together that will make your fellow energy wonks chuckle at the office Halloween party. If you’re reading this site, I’ll also assume that you have at least a passing interest in the energy sector (or, hopefully, are a full-blown energy nerd like myself). But once again, the month seems to zip right by you, you haven’t even set foot in a costume store, and all of a sudden Halloween is this week and you’re woefully unprepared! Every year you vow it will be different– you’ll plan ahead, you’ll write down that great idea for a costume that you think of in April, and you’ll have the best Halloween costume come October 31.
