The following post was written and/or published as a collaboration between Benzinga&rsquo;s in-house sponsored content team and a financial partner of Benzinga.

The recent winter storm and energy outage in Texas left 4 million people without electricity. As many saw their neighbors burning their furniture to stay warm, an undeniable concern for the future became clear &mdash; there is a need to reinforce energy diversification.

Technologies associated with renewable energy are becoming essential to reduce greenhouse emissions. In fact, with the latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-electric-vehicle-ev-stocks/">electric vehicle (EV)</a> market creating a wide range of advantages, pickup trucks can be the following solution for a future energy outage. Here&#39;s what you need to know.

<h2>Started From the Bottom, Now We&#39;re Here</h2>

Vehicles can be a source of power as new models are being developed to do more than just provide transportation. A market that once was seen as exclusive and expensive with models like Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is now more resourceful, offering new models with wider price points. In fact, companies like Toyota Motor Corp.(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TOYOF#OTC">TOYOF</a>), Mitsubishi (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBFJF#OTC">MBFJF</a>), General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Daimler AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DDAIF#OTC">DDAIF</a>), Ford (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and BMW (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMWYY#OTC">BMWYY</a>), among others, are coming out with their versions and different targets in mind.

Companies like Worksport Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WKSP#OTC">WKSP</a>) have developed solutions to store energy through solar panels in modular battery packs, for example.

The company took its trailblazer product design of bed tonneaus for pickup trucks and transformed it into the mounting system folding truck bed to store power through its solar panel capabilities &mdash; giving birth to TerraVis&trade;.

Worksport as a tonneaus provider is literally in a class by itself. The <a href="https://worksport.com/us/terravis-images/">Terravis</a> brings tonneau covers into a completely new realm.

<h2>A Game-Changing Solution</h2>

While you drive your car, thanks to solar light, you can store 1.5kWh of energy in up to four batteries that can be kept and transported in the truck&#39;s bed for other purposes. As you don&#39;t necessarily have to use it to charge your car, it can help you have electricity for other purposes, like when there&#39;s an outage and you need power for essential items.

Other companies like Hyundai Motor Company (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) are exploring EVs with solar panel roofs. However, the Worksport Terravis was thought to have the existing driver in mind, making it available now for the user who needs it.

<h2>What Happened in Texas Might not Stay in Texas</h2>

Texas is just an example, but this can happen again and in other places.&nbsp;

Gas power plants provide 47% of Texas&#39; electricity. Many of those plants and natural gas pipelines can fail in cold conditions.

According to The Guardian, many households also rely on gas for heat. Due to recent competition, prices surged almost <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/01/a-texas-city-had-a-bold-new-climate-plan-until-a-gas-company-got-involved">16,000%</a>. Utilities now face massive bills from their gas suppliers &mdash; and many are passing the costs to customers in the form of sky-high bills.

Besides the increasing bills, using fossil fuels has a giant climate impact. In Texas, the number of hot days has doubled over the past 40 years, and it could get worst by 2036. Also concerning is the surge in wildfires from the heat and urban flooding due to extreme rainfall.&nbsp;

Terravis can help to have a sustainable power option. It replies to several market needs like the lack of external charging points from private households and can be cheaper in the long run than a backup energy source that depends on fossil fuels.&nbsp;

Additionally, this product tries to give control of electricity to the consumer. In an emergency, a utility that can impact everyone&#39;s lives should not be an opportunity for others to profit.&nbsp;

<h2>Pickups Reign in Texas, the Empire of the Sun</h2>

As Texas copes with extreme weather challenges linked to the climate crisis, renewable energy is a key policy goal of the new U.S. administration.

Besides, pickup trucks help merchants, farmers and outdoors enthusiasts, among others. They have the power to store, haul and look good while doing so. So why is this relevant to renewable energy? Well, texas has approximately<a href="https://flexfleetrental.com/top-three-states-biggest-pickup-populations/"> 4.2 million </a>pickup trucks; it is a state known for farming and where consumers prefer these vehicle models.

<h2>Bottom Line</h2>

Companies are becoming increasingly focused on developing solutions for a greener future. And solutions like Terravis provide the market with something that can bring a positive outcome to the consumer.

In the end, after you burn your furniture, you could have something else to keep you warm.

SoftBank Group Corp&rsquo;s (OTC:&nbsp;SFTBY) talks with Japan&rsquo;s top three banks to secure $3 billion&nbsp;to help fund its support of a real estate startup WeWork have stalled, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-softbank-group-wework/softbanks-3-billion-wework-financing-talks-stall-with-japan-banks-sources-idUSKBN1YR0N0?il=0">according to Reuters</a>.

<h3>What Happened</h3>

Japan&rsquo;s three biggest banks are considering the credit risks involved with a $3 billion loan that SoftBank is seeking from the banks to help fund WeWork.

The three banks, Mizuho Financial Group Inc,&nbsp;Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/MBFJF#OTC">MBFJF</a>) and&nbsp;Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/SMFG#OTC">SMFG</a>), are looking for secure ways to provide the financing for Softbank, anonymous sources told Reuters.

&ldquo;SoftBank is an important client so we want to do everything we can to help, but we have to consider our credit risk,&rdquo; said a senior banker.

<h3>Why It Matters</h3>

SoftBank Group&rsquo;s debt burden worsened in recent months. The company had debts worth $140 billion and a poor credit rating, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/softbank-has-140-billion-in-debt-but-banks-picture-nearly-a-billion-in-fees-11557828002?mod=rsswn">the Wall Street Journal reported</a>&nbsp;in June 2019.

The Japanese firm announced in October a $9.5 billion bailout package for WeWork after the highly anticipated IPO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wework-ipo-fiasco-adam-neumann-explained-events-timeline-2019-9" target="_blank">failed</a>, and Adam Neumann&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/19/09/14483248/adam-neumann-steps-down-as-wework-ceo-will-remain-chairman" target="_blank">resigned</a>&nbsp;as the CEO of the company.

The package included a $3 billion tender offer to buy privately-held WeWork shares, an early payment of $1.5 billion from SoftBank, and around $5 billion in new debt financing.

Earlier this month, SoftBank&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/19/12/15008200/wework-secures-1-75b-credit-line-with-goldman-sachs" target="_blank">secured</a>&nbsp;a $1.75 billion line of credit from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>).

The $1.75 billion credit line is the first installment of SoftBank&rsquo;s $9.5 billion bailout package for WeWork.
