  • Good overall

    The spoiled milk in my fridge is more qualified to run the EPA than Zeldin.

    I like the content of this podcast, but I don’t trust its content or editorial decision-making based on the long-lasting sponsorship by Chevron, so listen w a boulder of salt.

  • Avoids certain ideas

    Look, I get it’s a “leans left” podcast sponsored by Chevron but they seriously do everything they can to avoid talking about the cleanest, safest form of energy we currently have access too: Nuclear Fission.

    They talk about fusion more than fission and fusion is currently still a pipe dream. If you ACTUALLY care about the environment discussion Nuclear MORE and recognize that it is not fossil, it is not renewable - it is BETTER!!
