  • Thought this was about Energy Transition

    Guess now the US is a climate denier, Amazon is too and not one mention of green energy in some of the last episodes. Methane is not a solution.

  • Didn't really answer what the industry is doing to improve time to market stage of reactors in the US and Europe and where post war Russia fits into this gambit as a previous big player. Like to know more upgrading existing power stations to generate more power Vs just turning old ones back on.

    Where does the middle east see nuclear, what about water scarcity, fuel refining and the major gap of long term waste storage Vs currently leaving them in casks on site till a site is found.

  • Simplistic, Poor Takes and Information

    Very pro renewable energy and green-tech group uninterested in considering the strengths of any conventional energy sources or facing the macroeconomics and implications of green-tech and renewables.

    These guys like to apply a TON of analogies as proof of their opinions and research. Very little substance or numbers behind the discussions found in this show.

    I found it particularly frustrating that the hosts tend to invoke successful small scale or consumer technology trends (albeit successful... more
