Solar Insiders - a Renew Economy Podcast

When the offshore wind debate first started there was one particular titbit that I’ll never forget - the rain water washes chemicals off the Wind Turbine blades which causes Whales to become sterilized.

I wrote this off the back of the introduction of the guest for the episode titled “Community batteries - can the networks deliver what it says on the tin?” - The interviewer brings up a topic in the intro, then immediately discounts it as something that won’t be discussed in today’s interview - The intro seems to be about ‘what the interviewer knows’ - they would do better to focus on what the _listener_ likely doesn’t know - Mentions an article written by the interviewer earlier in the week - is there an expectation that we go and read the article? If so - take the listener’s perspective, explain they may want to read it; and explain where to find the article The intro actually sounds like something the media industry called a pre-interview, which is a prep discussion with the guest. Instead can we have more of a focus on what we as the listener would want to hear?

Great to hear Nigelgetti g passionate about

I found the recent Engie's Ryan Wavish so frustrating to listen to I was literally shouting at well , nothing really… seriously paying people to turn off their solar?!! We don’t want curtailment! Why wouldn’t they offer free electricity to those consumers like OVO to try and change demand habits or even better use the money to install grid scale batteries themselves to improve grid stability! 😡
