I’m Bob King, and I’ve spent over three decades reviving abandoned dams to produce clean energy. My journey began early in life when I discovered my fascination with how energy is made and harnessed. That curiosity ignited a passion that led me to rehabilitate over a dozen hydroelectric facilities across New England. I’m inspired by the belief that individuals can make a difference, even in the face of climate challenges. By restoring these plants, I aim to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable energy practices. What I gain from this work is a profound sense of purpose: knowing that my efforts contribute to a cleaner, more resilient future for our communities.
