I really get a lot out of this podcast despite it being fairly short. The hosts mix a blend of humor and seriousness, and the guest each week gives a peek behind the curtain at the work of journalism.
It’s a great listen for anyone who cares about facts and what is best for the USA and world when it comes to energy.
Paul Gerke and Mike Casey go over five interesting stories each week in “this week in Cleantech”. And Gerke periodically dives into interviews with SMEs about important topics related to the energy transition. Essential listening for those involved in renewables.
It made it into my (hard to get into) follow newsfeed!
I have worked in solar for many year. Sole continues to expand at a crazy pace and it is hard to keep up with the relevant developments. This podcast has helped me stay up to date and surveys as a pivotal jump off point for my own research. Keep up the great work! It is appreciated!
I listen every week to get my right-sized amount of cleantech news, as the landscape can sometimes be a bit daunting to keep track of on my own. The guys have a great conversation flow and complement each other well in their approach to different issues. Highly recommend to anyone interested in the cleantech/renewables space. Looking forward to future episodes!

A fast-moving energy transition show that blends a weekly 15-minute roundup of climate and clean-tech headlines with in-depth interviews. Episodes typically weave policy debates, grid modernization, data-center impacts, and frontline technology stories (storage, transmission, generation) with journalist perspective and expert guests. A recurring strength is pairing sharp reporting with practical takeaways for industry professionals, utilities, and policymakers, often highlighted by a featured interview and a rotating “Cleantecher of the Week.” The format is concise, accessible, and often lighthearted, making complex energy topics approachable for practitioners while keeping a strong emphasis on real-world implications and market dynamics.
