Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Jolt and Clean Energy Wire Review, #1
Q: So firstly, introduce yourself to the listeners and explain your role with Clean Energy Wire.
Carolina Kaulman explains that she is a correspondent at Clean Energy Wire covering the move to climate neutrality in Germany and Europe, with a broad remit from electricity markets to heating, buildings, and water issues, and that they publish daily news plus in-depth future-focused analyses.
What China’s five-year plan means for its transition
Q: How do you see this phasing out of fossil fuels in China progressing over the five-year plan?
The plan signals a more cautious approach than before, with emphasis on peaking coal use and expanding clean energy, but without explicit caps on fossil fuel consumption, which may allow emissions to remain elevated for longer. Implementation will depend on sectoral targets and provincial adherence.
A new guiding light for the energy transition
Q: What do you think the impact of the CES metric will be on policy makers and the public?
The CES metric is designed to be more relatable than temperature targets, engaging younger generations and making climate actions actionable.
The Jolt Rundown - 5th December, 2025
Q: What are your thoughts about the automotive side of this?
95% of people thought that giving hybrids a free pass beyond 2035 was a bad idea.
UK offshore wind’s next big challenge
Q: What should the objectives be for AR8 and AR9?
They might need to focus more on securing capacity at low costs rather than strictly adhering to the Clean Power 2030 goals.
