  • Love it !

    Very relevant to our times, how to deal with misinformation, disinformation, polarization, exploitation of religion etc to refute climate change and how to find common ground and deal with the climate criss in a more practical and effective way!!

    One thing that was interesting was there was mention that there is no more characters like Lorax but I recently came across Reducea the recycling fairy (who takes garbage that the character Oscar would typically take and convert to something new !!)

  • Really informative and I love the diversity of topics

    I really love this podcast. I was originally recommended it by Professor in an a class on global environmental change. I listened to it months later into my enjoyment and newfound excitement really got a lot out of these podcasts. If you want a introduction or intermediate understanding of a topic, it is great and I highly recommend it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Does it Pay To Go Green? Let Us Count The Ways
Q: Tell me why rooftop solar counterintuitively could raise them for a subset of people who themselves don't have rooftop solar.
Under net metering, rooftop-solar customers may receive the full retail rate for exported electricity even though they still use the grid wires. Those fixed costs remain and are then spread across customers without rooftop solar.
Does it Pay To Go Green? Let Us Count The Ways
Q: How did the people in Crockett County respond to this idea of wind power coming into their area?
Residents were pragmatic and supported the project when the county negotiated tangible benefits, including funding for community services and facilities.
CEO of Nation’s Biggest Utility Talks Affordability, Fires, Outages, and Public Outrage
Q: How do you distinguish what is sort of labeled good fire from these larger fires that sometimes can get out of control from a human standpoint and are often fueled by climate factors?
Reed says good fire depends on Indigenous leadership, community participation and cultural learning, and can include prescribed burning and fuel reduction. He contrasts it with catastrophic high-severity fires and harmful fire-management practices.
CEO of Nation’s Biggest Utility Talks Affordability, Fires, Outages, and Public Outrage
Q: What do you say about people cranky about prices?
Poppe says PG&E has reduced rates five times in two years and that bills for its most vulnerable customers are down 23%, while acknowledging that prices rose substantially and the company is still working on affordability.
Kate Marvel on Fear, Wonder, and Leaving NASA
Q: So what would you tell someone who feels like, you know what, it's too late to matter?
Marvel says climate action remains possible and encourages people to act through communities rather than seeing themselves only as individual consumers. She points to local civic action, decarbonizing buildings, and bringing solar power to schools.
