Great topics, great reporting, great story telling. Loved the season on electric batteries. Thank you. It’s obvious this is your passion.
Makes complex energy transition accessible and understandable
Jun 2
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.
excellent! One more season to go

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.
Fantastic
