WSJ Paris bureau chief Stacy Meichtry and WSJ senior reporter Phred Dvorak answer listeners’ questions about recent changes to clean-energy rules on both sides of the Atlantic and what they mean for how consumers and governments pay for green initiatives.

Customer Reviews
Good content, WSJ reporters sound unprofessional
Generally, the daily content is good and covers relevant pieces of world news. However, WSJ correspondents on specific topics often use poor grammar, up- and Valley girl-speak. It comes across as unprofessional and, frankly, annoying to listen to.
Pretty biased reporting of Modi’s US visit
As usual, the comments by Sabrina Siddiqui represented media’s double standards and hypocrisy against India in light of Modi’s White House visit. For example, her comment “India is still viewed as democratic by many” seems to have an implicit but obvious bias. India has had numerous free elections since 1947, why would anyone question whether it’s a democracy? I’m also curious if Sabrina’s comments reflect such an implicit bias against neighboring Pakistan, which as a matter of state policy actively promotes religious discrimination.
The number and length of adds ruins everything
The title says it all. With the number of adds this podcast is difficult to listen to. In addition, I am very much bothered by poor English language skills of some presenters (you can hear gems like this: “China has restricted the amount of children…”). It especially applies to guests who often speak very informal and riddled with grammar mistakes English. You never know what piece of news gets priority (usually something very local to the USA). Recently (2023) it does not even add episodes on time (pm editions may appear the following morning and am editions are often not even available at 9am EST). Getting worse and worse. “And finally” is getting on my nerves.
