Since then, we've been to Birmingham, Chattanooga, Baltimore, Washington DC, and Little Rock, recorded five news segments, and talked with a lot of people about one simple question: what do you do when the power goes out?Washington DC was our last stop. About two weeks before I got to Washington, an overnight storm knocked out power to more than 76,000 Pepco customers in Maryland and D.C.

After Chase spent some time in Chattanooga and Little Rock, he took ZenH2 to Birmingham where last fall he was part of the Techstars Alabama EnergyTech Accelerator.
