No country can feed itself entirely on its own. The global food system depends on a complex web of trade, not just for food but for fertilizer, animal feed, pesticides and labor. Even major agricultural exporters rely on imports somewhere in their su... more
US efforts to secure its power grid could come at a cost. A new executive order could restrict grid and power equipment supplied by companies tied to China, with batteries particularly exposed. Around 60% of US lithium-ion battery imports came from m... more

Surprisingly antiquated thinking. Described the subsidies for renewables as being socialized to consumers via extra costs. No discussion of all the subsidies for oil and gas socialized through our taxes though! Not to mention the negative externalities all of which are socialized to the globe. I’m surprised we haven’t heard a hot take on trickle down economics. Bit surprising but BNEF even feels very conservative now. Not a fan - would like less bias.
And in general one of the best podcasts out there on the energy transition. Well researched, lots of compelling information, intelligent Q&A between host and guests. I love it.
Very informative, nicely curated, well-structured episodes coving a good range of key topics - from EV to plant-based milk - in the climate change field. A great selection of questions and speakers. I’m learning a ton since following Switch On. Strongly recommended!
Strange that a podcast re energy transition episode about lithium is sponsored by Mazda petrol fueled cars (listening from australia)
Enjoying the show, but very irritated by the incredibly long ads. Will look for alternative sources.

The show centers on energy, technology, and policy trends, frequently featuring BloombergNEF analysts who unpack recent research with clear, data-driven context. Episodes often dissect policy shifts, grid reliability, renewable deployments, and market dynamics, with practical implications for investors, utilities, developers, and policymakers. A standout pattern is the mix of macro outlooks (regional and global) and near-term operational detail (project economics, technology economics, and regulatory design), delivered through accessible explanations and concrete case studies. The format tends to be interview-heavy, prioritizing expert insight from within BNEF and related energy-tech domains, and it often surfaces timely topics like electri... more
