Great topics, great reporting, great story telling. Loved the season on electric batteries. Thank you. It’s obvious this is your passion.

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.

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.

(New listener with Season 3) A great overview of the history and challenges in European energy supply and transition.

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.

The best narrative climate podcast on the internet!

Fantastic job at summarizing big energy ideas!

A very educational and interesting podcast - definitely one of my favorites!

Thank you so much for producing this podcast. I am very interested in renewal energy and climate issues, but don’t have a science background. As such, I am a bit intimidated to wade into this area. Your podcast and helped me understand the issues behind the TX power outage of 2021, and issues to be addressed in decarbonizing the transportation sector. Thank you for the work you do. It is helping me understand what’s a stake and how we can address the incredibly important issue of climate change.

Love the idea of trying bring esoteric details of our coming energy transition to a wider audience and make the wonky details relatable. More of the public needs to understand how important this is and get engaged. In practice the first season seemed to miss the mark weaving in the Texas story without ever actually explaining why any of this happened. 100% of the blame needs to go to the decades long campaign by TXOGA and the O & G industry to resist regulation, resist weatherization or anything that would increase costs even marginally. And yes the TX legislature that happily played along. Weatherization and requirements to store gas reserves were nonexistent in TX compared with other states. In any other state the 2011 freeze would have resulted in actual changes not suggestions. Louisiana and NM had massive ice storms that same week but virtually no blackouts. The post-blackout Leg session very nearly saw TXOGA defeat weatherization again. The governor ordered wind generators to pay for a problem it didn’t create. I get that some of the experts interviewed aren’t in a position professionally to point fingers at politicians, but you need to have guests on that can actually explain why decision makers made these decisions. These things didn’t just happen because the grid is complicated. Decision makers made them happen.

As a energy pr person this is fascinating listening. Content and host compelling. Recommended.

Very interesting and informative. Clear and relatable explanations of renewable energy and grids to support it.

I’ve been in clean energy for 10+ years and I listen to *many* energy podcasts. This is one of the best new energy podcasts I’ve heard in a long time. Great story telling, engaging, well organized and accessible to the non-energy professional crowd. The Texas 2021 blackouts and the energy transition are complex topics. This podcast does a great job of getting the facts straight while not getting too wonky. I would expect nothing less from Executive Producer Stephen Lacey who hosts and produces the mother of all energy podcasts, The Energy Gang (also highly recommended).

This is a complex story told simply. We need podcasts like this to help educate people about the Energy Transition.

Long time listener to energy gang, love getting to add in a highly polished/produced and more narrative deep dive on the Texas grid failure in particular. Excited to listen to more.

Superb host and lineup of guests! Can’t wait to listen to the entire season

Informative in a fun and energetic fashion!!

Subscribed and eagerly waiting for first episode.

Very excited to hear this podcast series!

This is a great new podcast all about rebuilding our energy systems, with this first series focusing on the power grid. It’s approachable for non experts but still explains tons of information. Highly recommended.
