  • Makes complex energy transition accessible and understandable

    The first season (5 episodes) have been a tremendously useful crash course; helping me understand complex aspects of the energy transition through tangible examples and clear explanations. Appreciate that the tone is not patronizing or preachy (as many other renewable energy podcasts are) and the use of a specific crisis in Texas as a case study makes the lessons very tangible.

  • excellent! One more season to go

    On season one I haven't heard them talk about one facet of solar that needs more attention—solar pitches to home owners are primarily credit card deals, not power solutions. And moving away from utilities exposes people to unsavory business practices that states are not set up to regulate. Social media is littered with predatory sales pitches and misrepresentation of government programs.

  • Hopeful understanding

    This well organized podcast avoids the trap of bouncing between climate topics (probably because it’s made by an actual scientist) to methodically dive deep on one very complicated piece at a time, e.g. Russia’s war on the EU’s transition, and through that depth, really provides hope that the remaining challenges (in that example, Europe’s training electricians) are knowable and may be addressable.
