  • 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!

  • Good content, unreasonably LONG breaks for ads

    Enjoying the show, but very irritated by the incredibly long ads. Will look for alternative sources.
