Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E332: Building a City With a Soul: Inside Indonesia's New Capital
Q: Dad, tell me a bit more about this fantastic new capital city Indonesia. Why and where and what do we expect to see?
The project is designed as a 21st-century model city with four pillars: smart technology, green environmental practices, social inclusivity, and resilience to climate and health challenges. It aims to attract investment, preserve biodiversity, and create a livable, lovable environment that reflects local culture while leveraging advanced infrastructure and energy systems.
E335: Why Does Energy Get More Expensive When Renewables Are the Cheapest Ever Created?
Q: What practical steps can a young entrepreneur take to begin transforming a local cooperative or utility?
Assess local assets and regulatory barriers, explore agrovoltaics or community solar, push for open-access licenses to encourage competition, and build capital foundations through citizen investments or wind/solar cooperatives. The goal is to shift from centralized, oligopolistic systems to democratic, local energy governance that improves affordability.
E335: Why Does Energy Get More Expensive When Renewables Are the Cheapest Ever Created?
Q: So tell me more about your model for ownership and how it could scale in different countries.
It starts with local ownership through cooperatives or municipal models where communities own generation, storage, and distribution assets, which reduces the cost of capital and aligns incentives with savings for residents. The key is to prevent over-financialization and ensure profits come as energy reductions and reliability rather than cash payouts.
Hydrogen Is Dying. Here's What the Data Actually Says | Ep 230 | Michael Barnard [Re-edited]
Q: What about shipping and aviation—are there niches where hydrogen could work?
There may be some roles in long-haul aviation and some refinery processes, but for most maritime and air transport, battery- and biofuel-based solutions will be preferred, with hydrogen not being the dominant solution.
Hydrogen Is Dying. Here's What the Data Actually Says | Ep 230 | Michael Barnard [Re-edited]
Q: Hi Michael, could you summarize where you see hydrogen fitting into the future energy system?
Hydrogen is unlikely to pencil out in most end-use sectors, especially transport; I expect demand to decline as batteries and electrification become cheaper and more scalable, while hydrogen remains costlier and more complex to deploy.
