We bring sunshine and humor to the energy transition. A weekly climate news podcast hosted from the bitterly-cold Canadian prairies where EVs work just fine, thank you! We're not experts, but we listen to them!

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

What I have to wonder is if the Chinese demographic crisis and lack of immigration (ergo labour shortage) is colliding with robotics, solar, batteries and power electronics in a brand new and wholly profound way.

Economist @brettdolter.bsky.social talks with us on special episode available Monday morning on your favorite podcast app. Dolter is asked about why Saskatchewan's government-run power utility shies away from renewables and will be the last to burn coal in Canada, by a generation.

This week on @cleanergypod we make news. A listener confronts Premier Moe in Japan and gets the government's candid view on decarbonizing Saskatchewan. We also see what a place colder than #skpoli is doing in Northern China TODAY, not 25 yrs from now. Mark Jacobson response.

A listener in Switzerland thanked us for our Canadian prairie wildfire smoke. He encountered it while hiking. The Swiss media is covering the story. I wonder how the Swiss feel about climate-denying Saskatchewan messing with their health.

Our podcast listeners funded an air quality monitoring station for my home in the industrial end of Regina, Canada. The data is live globally on the IQAir network. We hope to learn and educate with this project.
