  • 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!!

  • Too short, not enough insights

    This has the potential to be a really good podcast, but I expect more context and background for the stories.

Q: Can you remind us what exactly are these direct air capture projects, and why were they seen as so important for US climate policy?
