  • What year is this?

    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.

  • One of the best podcasts

    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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

European Power Confronts Gas Shock: Analyst Reaction
Q: Is gas actually far more important for power prices than oil in Europe?
Yes, Europe relies more on gas for power generation and heating, though the share of gas has declined since five years ago as renewables have expanded; gas still dominates power pricing dynamics today.
European Power Confronts Gas Shock: Analyst Reaction
Q: Right now, where are European power prices?
Month-ahead prices in Northwest Europe are around €90-€100 per MWh, with winter prices higher at about €140 per MWh, still far below the €1,000 per MWh seen in the 2022 peak.
Biofuels Cash In on US Tax Credits: Analyst Reaction
Q: Welcome, Jade, thank you so much for being here.
Thanks for having me; we'll walk through what the new 45Z guidance means for dairy- and swine-based RNG, how negative emissions are treated, and what this could mean for project economics and market flows.
Record Energy Transition Investment, But Slower Pace
Q: Albert, welcome to the podcast.
Thanks for having me, Tom.
What Really Determines Where Data Centers Get Built
Q: Why does live capacity matter so much?
It indicates how much demand there is in the market now and reflects the availability of skilled labor for building and operating data centers.
