Climate change HOPE
Thank you in particular for episode 64 on Renewable energy and an optimistic future. I feel so much anxiety everyday about what will become of our planet and often feel so futile in affecting any real change in my small individual ways. But in this episode, learning about recent optimizations in energy and energy storage technology and recent large-scale proactive industry efforts, I’ll be able to sleep tonight!
I believe that we all need to be talking and learning about this, ultimately to overcome it but also to keep awareness in the front of our collective consciousness.
More interviews on climate change, please!
Thanks for making science accessible !
I love learning about science in general but physics is really amazing to me! Great job and hope you keep making this podcast !
Great podcast, in my top 5.
But, couldn’t agree with much of your criticism of the IDW, except for Shapiro, he’s a tool. And Rob Reid was a bad choice for a guest for the same reason that I deleted his podcast, he never shuts up. CONSTANTLY interrupting to summarize what the other person has said. Stfu, Rob!
