Climate and energy podcasts recommendations: a thread!

I benefit greatly from a long list of podcasts covering the policy, politics, technology, and economics of climate/energy. Want to share them here on Bluesky. #energysky

In no particular order:

Perhaps one of the most important and hope inspiring shifts in climate policy and the energy transition.

The increase in power demand from economy wide electrification will dwarf data centers and is the reason we need to build as much clean power as we can everywhere.

Finally, in an energy system dominated by polluting sources, the only way to achieve this NDC is solar and EVs.

Furthermore, energy access is still low and a core priority.

Especially significant because energy demand is rising rapidly.

An NDC that, if achieved, is truly in line with a ~1.5 degree pathway!

What Your Gas Stove Is Doing To Your Health Induction stoves beat out gas stoves on health and the environment. Gas stove manufacturers are challenging a CO law to warn consumers about gas stove health concerns.

www.forbes.com/sites/marian...
"Gas stoves emit benzene, carbon monoxide, methane, and nitrogen dioxide, which can trigger asthma, coughing, and wheezing, as well as chronic diseases like cancer."

"In the US, an alarming 13% of childhood asthma cases are caused by household gas stoves."

California made it through another summer without a Flex Alert. Thank batteries, experts say Batteries that pair with clean solar and wind energy or just bolster electrical grids in general have completely taken off and are making a big difference on the California grid.

California officially ended another summer without a Flex Alert, thanks to battery storage.

A new LA Times report shows how the state’s battery buildout is boosting grid reliability and keeping costs down. 🔋

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

How Trump’s Case Against Revolution Wind Fell Apart The administration argued in the name of national defense — but Orsted had receipts.

Scoop: Trump lost the legal battle over halting the offshore Revolution Wind project after Orsted, its developer, brought reams of evidence to court alleging the government was lying about military security concerns.

It’s a sign truth can empower companies Trump targets.

City of #Boulder has concluded its mega #parking reform.

Parking minimums are now gone. So all those patches of 200 square feet that home-builders have been required to install at a cost of $30,000+ per space can now be used for other things like vegetable gardens, bike parking, and housing.

On efforts to combat climate change, the US has joined the ranks of countries like Iran, Russia, and Saudi Arabia in being critically insufficient, thanks to the Trump Admin’s rollback of virtually all climate policy.

Die Erzeugung von Photovoltaik, Windkraft und Kleinwasserkraft senkt die Strompreise in Österreich um bis zu 20 Prozent Unsere aktuelle Analyse im Auftrag von der IG-Wind, PV Austria und dem Verband Kleinwasserkraft zeigt eindrucksvoll: Der konsequente Ausbau von Windkraft, Photovoltaik und Kleinwasserkraft senkt die ö...

Die Erneuerbaren liefern finanzielle Entlastung bei Strompreisen, das sollte 20% günstigerer Strom in 2030 in Österreich bedeuten.
Dazu weniger teuere Gasimporte und das Erfüllen von Klimazielen im Stromsektor.

Gernot- werde in New York für Climate Week sein und würde dich gerne treffen! Zwischen Klima und Österreich gibt’s viele Gemeinsamkeiten…

Join me and @runonclimate.bsky.social at our NYC Climate Week happy hour to talk about how we can move local climate policy forward! Look forward to seeing you there!

Looking forward to working with Matt and supporting his climate policy goals!

Law Firm Pressures Brown University to Erase Research on Anti-Wind Groups

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up.

Pediatric asthma ER visits dropped 40% after a coking coal plant near Pittsburgh shuttered, @kiley.bsky.social reported.

Continued coal-based steel production means ongoing health problems. Clean alternatives are available now. It’s time to make responsible choices.

Hi Matt- this is awesome work, I love the detailed summary. I work at Run On Climate, an organization supporting local elected officials with their climate policy. I’d love to connect, let me know if you’d like to talk.

A great story about how local policy makers can push their communities and utilities to electrify.

During peak demand in ERCOT, 3-4 GW of coal was unexpectedly offline. Not a problem at all because renewables met 50% of demand.
Attacking renewables in favor of ‘dispatchable’ power to help the grid… 🤦🏻‍♂️

Widespread defiance of court orders, coupled with no pushback from Congress, this is a constitutional crisis that needs be addressed as such.

this is a table headlined “A Brief Overview of Major US Clean Energy Tax Policy” by Shane Londagin, Avi Zevin, Luke Bassett, and the REPEAT Project. It then goes through each individual tax credit and how it has changed. You can find a full OCR-readable PDF version of the table at Heatmap

Seriously this is the most useful single table I’ve seen for summarizing what just happened to US clean energy tax credits. It is a beast. heatmap.news/politics/obb...

Heatwave hits.
Huge demand, higher than forecast.
Unexpected outages at ‘fully dispatchable’ traditional power plants.
Solar and batteries keep the grid stable and reduce costs at the same time.

BOLD MOVE: NY axed subsidies for gas connections in new buildings. Shift promotes sustainable electric heating like heat pumps, avoiding locked-in emissions and stranded assets, a key focus of my gas grid decommissioning research.
