In my top 5. The three hosts are the most well informed and trustworthy sources for information on the Energy Industries, Energy Technologies, and their environmental impact. Handy advice, critical insights for everyone, wrapped up in a package that is almost as entertaining as it is informative.
Always a good listen, however:
In the episode re CDR, David somewhat flippantly compared Danielle Smith’s review and potential claim on the CPP with Alberta’s “responsibility” for GHG emissions. To put the two issues on a time equivalent basis, one has to compare cumulative emissions since 1965 with the (arguably tenuous) CPP claim. Current emissions don’t do it. On a cumulative basis since 1965, Alberta has emitted a way smaller proportion of the country’s GHG’s than the 53% claim on CPP. I cou... more
To the credit of the co-hosts and their expert guests, I rarely come away from an episode feeling entirely validated in my pre-conceived notions about various topics. Complex issues require nuanced discussions and often lead to understandings that leave us somewhat frustrated but richer for having gone on the intellectual journey. That EvC is able to deliver all of this without diminishing the importance and severity of the climate and energy challenges we face is rather remarkable. Keep up the ... more
Very knowledgeable hosts, balanced discussion, tackling some of the most challenging topics of our time. I have been completely enthralled in this podcast and would recommend anyone who is interested in energy listen. Even more so if you are an Albertan or Canadian.
Great show! But I’m missing some of the points became the sound quality is very choppy. Rewinding does no good. ☹️
