our hidden powers

A children’s book series about energy, change, and a planet in balance
Now introducing: The Big Switch

What are your hidden powers?

Our Hidden Powers is a children’s book series created to explain the energy system in a way that is accessible, engaging, and grounded in reality.

The first book introduces a group of energy characters, each representing the natural forces behind the five main types of renewable energy, and explores how they work together to support life on Earth. At its core is a simple idea: no single source can do it all, but together, they can create balance.

With the second book, The Big Switch, the story expands. A new character is introduced, representing fossil energy and the role it has played in shaping modern society. From there, the focus shifts to what comes next - how the energy system is changing, and how knowledge, technology, and experience can be used to build a more balanced future.

As Alexander Helling, CEO of Baseload Capital, puts it:
“These books are about helping children understand the system they are inheriting. Because if we want better decisions in the future, we need better understanding today. That starts with being honest about where we come from, and clear about where we’re going.”

At Baseload, we operate at the intersection of technology, investment, and energy. Part of that role is contributing to how the energy transition is understood. By engaging younger generations while inviting broader dialogue, Our Hidden Powers is one way we aim to create understanding, spark discussion, and support the transition to a more balanced energy system.
