Energy is the source of everything.

The Watt Hour began as a podcast on Made-in-America power sources and edge data center technology for defense, aerospace, robotics and IoT. It has grown into a place for information about energy in every form — from the cells in a satellite to the deepest questions of physics and human purpose.

Hosted by William Michael Hadala Jr., it holds the hard science and the open questions side by side — without confusing one for the other.

Our mission

The Watt Hour explores the energy that powers our world, the technologies shaping our future, and the human responsibility that gives progress meaning.

Editorial philosophy

We are an independent technology and thought-leadership media platform. Our purpose is to educate, encourage critical thinking and make complex ideas accessible. We distinguish scientific evidence from opinion and personal reflection, welcoming thoughtful discussion from people of different beliefs.
