There is so much to be angry about, if you are a clean energy guy. Every day, so many things that happen around the world make me angry when I look at them with lenses colored by the climate change chaos unfolding everywhere around us. And I am especially angry because I know we can solve the climate change crisis if we were only trying.Each week, I will share with you a few topics that struck me and that I was very angry about – and this will generally have to do with climate change, solar or wind power, plastic pollution, deforestation and reforestation, environmental degradation, wildlife, the oceans and other related topics.

Episode 82
The Angry Clean Energy Guy on two recent, and historic, renewable energy milestones many thought impossible. First, solar, wind and hydro power exceeded 100% of California's electricity demand on an almost daily basis over a sustained period of several weeks. Second, also in California, battery storage became for the first time ever the largest source of supply in the California grid. The evidence is incontrovertible: not only can we power entire countries with almost 100% renewable energy, but we will also get there faster than most people think.

Disinformation, misinformation, deception and propaganda by Big Oil is rife.

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on the "Top 10 Disinformation Tag Lines" peddled by Big Oil trolls and bots, aided and abetted by some of the world's largest public relations firms and assorted politicians, lawyers and consultants on their payroll.

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on the need to tackle the fantastic quantities of waste and pollution from the healthcare sector - 5 to 7% of global emissions and 5th largest polluter if we thought of it as a country - and how the doctors, demigods everywhere, are in the process of being nudged to evolve to get to zero-waste and zero-emissions medicine.

Episode 77
The Angry Clean Energy Guy on the sheer quantity of drivel we're bring bombarded with about gas, (such as the world needing more affordable energy (read: gas); or how gas is part of a pragmatic approach to the energy transition; or using the words "low-carbon" in the context of energy systems); and how in reality, it's all deliberate propaganda orchestrated by dark organizations such as the "International Gas Union". Their global playbook of deception to lock-in fossil gas (and make a couple of bucks while setting fire to the world) has been exposed through their own incompetence: it was available on the International Gas Union's own website, by mistake, until the documents were removed six months later.
