  • Always an informative conversation about "clean tech". Lots of EV talk, and details about products that help reduce emissions. My one request: let's bring nuclear into the equation. Lots of renewables talk, and would love nuclear to weigh in.

  • It’s good, but…

    This is a good podcast for EV and clean tech enthusiasts and the like. It has the potential to be a great podcast if the host could please stop interrupting his guests and just let them talk or answer the question.
