    Smart, sharp, and not afraid to go where other shows won't. Fenton's been in the room for decades of progressive movement work and it shows. The Rula Jebreal episode alone is worth the subscribe.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Applied Hope: How Clean Energy is Winning the Race Against Climate Change with Amory Lovins
Q: What effect do you think events like geopolitical conflicts will have on clean energy pace?
Security and resilience become co-benefits of efficiency and renewables; the path toward greater energy independence and lower cost will generally accelerate as markets favor cleaner, cheaper options over costly, centralized systems.
Applied Hope: How Clean Energy is Winning the Race Against Climate Change with Amory Lovins
Q: What do you think about the argument that nuclear could get cheaper with new designs or mass production?
Historical data show learning curves for nuclear are limited and costly; small modular reactors have not proven to be cheaper or faster, and current evidence suggests they would displace less fossil fuel per dollar and slower to deploy than renewables.
Applied Hope: How Clean Energy is Winning the Race Against Climate Change with Amory Lovins
Q: So Amory, you've been a forecaster for a long time. How are we doing relative to your vision?
The renewables part has faced delays due to hostile policies, but efficiency has continued to improve and remains highly profitable; overall the trajectory is toward a cheaper, more flexible energy system dominated by renewables and efficiency.
Climate Science Under Siege: Dr. Michael Mann on Fighting Fossil Fuel Disinformation & the Path Forward
Q: What do you most want people to know for a lay audience in a longer format?
That climate change is real, primarily caused by burning fossil fuels, and it is already producing more extreme weather and yielding a practical urgency to act with both speed and purpose.
Pilot - Introducing The Fenton Forecast with Progressive PR Provocateur, David Fenton
Q: What signals tell you they're the real deal, activist thinker and doer?
Track record, ability to communicate substantively, and results from real-world application; prefer people who can show impact over flashy branding.
