Podcasts about blackouts

Politicians are finally waking up to the folly of Net Zero. The Tories have called for drilling in the North Sea. Reform UK wants to lift the ban on fracking. But the UK's Labour government remains totally committed to renewables, no matter the costs. Here, Kathryn Porter – energy consultant and founder of Watt-Logic – explains why Britain's bet on wind power has proved so disastrous. The result is rising prices, deindustrialisation and even the risk of major blackouts. The time to change course, she says, is now.

In thinkenergy episode 161, host Trevor Freeman breaks down how utilities plan for grid resilience, from upgrading local infrastructure to planning a national east-west grid. He also explores how customer demand response can help prevent outages. Learn how climate and consumption are reshaping our energy systems and what's being done to keep the lights on through extreme weather.   Related links   Electrifying Canada's remote communities with QUEST Canada (thinkenergy episode 143): https://thinkenergypodcast.com/episodes/electrifying-canadas-remote-communities-with-quest-canada/ Trevor Freeman on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-freeman-p-eng-8b612114 Hydro Ottawa: https://hydroottawa.com/en     To subscribe using Apple Podcasts:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinkenergy/id1465129405    To subscribe using Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wFz7rdR8Gq3f2WOafjxpl    To subscribe on Libsyn: http://thinkenergy.libsyn.com  --- Subscribe so you don't miss a video: https://www.youtube.com/user/hydroottawalimited    Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hydroottawa    Stay in the know on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HydroOttawa   Keep up with the posts on X: https://twitter.com/thinkenergypod  --- Transcript: Trevor Freeman  00:07 Welcome to a thinkenergy short, hosted by me, Trevor Freeman. This is a bite sized episode designed to be a quick summary of a specific topic or idea related to the world of energy. This is meant to round out our collective understanding of the energy sector, and will complement our normal guest interview episodes. Thanks for joining and happy listening. Hi everyone, and welcome back to thinkenergy. I hope you all had a great summer at equal parts restful and exciting. Certainly, we had a great summer here. It was good to take a bit of a step back and think about all the exciting topics that we have to talk to you about coming up over the course of the next season of the think energy podcast. And it's nice to be back here behind the microphone. I'm recording this just at the tail end of summer, the kind of end of August, and looking forward to getting into lots of good content this year. Today, we're going to start off our season with a look at the impact of extreme weather on our grid, as our grid is already under pressure from growing electricity demand. So it's a bit of a look at what utilities are doing in the face of that pressure. So this will be a think energy short, and we'll bring you our guest episode the next time around. So let's dive right in then. What does extreme weather mean for Canada's electricity infrastructure, and should we be worried about its ability to handle that extreme weather? This is kind of top of mind right now. We're at the tail end of summer. It's been a pretty hot and dry summer, at least where I am. Incidentally, I'm about to head into Algonquin Park for a backcountry camping trip, and there's a fire bed on and that's not unheard of in Algonquin Park and in many parts of the country, but this late in the season, it's pretty rare. I think this might actually be the first time that we've had a fire ban so late in the season that I can remember that I've been camping on and I go pretty frequently. So that'll be a little bit unique. And so yeah, a hot, dry summer is certainly one of those things we think of when we think about the changing weather patterns. But this is also top of mind because Rukshar Ali, who's a journalist with CTV, has been exploring, you know, the weak points in Canada's electricity grids, and has been writing about what impact extreme weather might have on those grids. So at a very high level, Canada's power grids as they are built today and in the past, as they have been built. So at a high level, Canada's power grids, as we've been building them for the last 100 years or so, need improvements in order to be able to withstand the frequent extreme weather and growing demand for electricity that we're having. That's not anything new, we talk about that often, how we need to invest in our grid for both reliability as well as expansion and the growing electrification of our society. Climate change is here, extreme weather is here, and those things are adding strain to our grid at the same time that demand is increasing and the grid is is redundant in many aspects. If we lose one component, then we can continue on and serve parts of our customer base from other sections. But extreme weather events are likely to knock out several aspects of the grid at once, and we need to improve in order to be able to withstand that. To give you a sense of the magnitude of the issue, the North American Electric Liability Corporation predicts that within the next decade, half of North America will be at risk for a significant blackout. So let's talk a little bit about why extreme weather as we know as the as the globe warms up from climate change, the frequency and magnitude of weather events increases, so we'll see more extreme weather events, and those extreme weather events will be more extreme, to reuse that word, and we're already seeing this. So last year, for example, severe weather caused 1000 outages in Nova Scotia, between 2013 and 2023 if we look across the entire country, there were around 10 extreme weather events that caused nearly 20 million customers to lose power across Canada. And eight of those 10 extreme weather events occurred in the five year period between 2018 and 2023 so that the frequency of these very significant, very extreme weather events, is definitely growing up. This is all happening at the same time that the country's electricity demand is also increasing and placing pressure on our infrastructure. So we know that usage is going to grow with electrification. We've talked about that a lot here and here in Ontario, the Independent Electricity System Operator, is projecting that consumption will increase by 75% by the year 2050, which is a significant jump up. And so as demand is increasing, we're also seeing that pressure on the grid from that and extreme weather kind of exacerbates that problem too. So extreme heat waves cause people to use their air conditioners more frequently and for longer, and that puts greater demand on the grid as well. So in July of 2023 you might recall this extreme kind of heat period in British Columbia out on the West Coast, and there's the heat dome, and that period saw the province use about 8% more electricity on average, than the previous kind of six year July average. So there is a significant increase from that one single heat event. So what do we do about this? How do we act in the face of increased extreme weather and electrification. Well, first off, we definitely need to update our infrastructure. And utility companies across the country and indeed across North America know this and have already started to do this here in hydro Ottawa's territory, for example, as I've talked about before, hydro Ottawa has a five year investment plan covering the 2026 to 2030 period, which is the largest investment plan in our company's history, and it carries a significant amount of investment in grid reliability, grid modernization, improving and expanding our infrastructure for just these challenges, so for the extreme weather and increased electricity demand across Our grid, if you zoom out a little bit and other parts of the country, the East Coast, for example, Nova Scotia Power recently finished a pole replacement project that saw a significant number of poles being replaced, and they're now moving into a Smart Grid Initiative, which is similar to grid modernization that I've talked about Here on the show in the past, which also addresses utilization of the grid, as well as ability to react during an outage on a bigger scale across the entire country, the federal government has promised to look at an east, west electricity grid, which would help connect more Canadians to more affordable and reliable power. And obviously, new construction would be focused on being able to withstand extreme weather as well as bring on more electricity demand as part of electrification. We've talked here in the past on the show, and the CTV journalist Ali points out that the current grid system makes it a lot easier for provinces to transfer electricity to the United States. It's kind of that north south flow of electricity is a lot easier than an East West flow of electricity. So trading between provinces today is difficult, and that's why there's a push for a national grid, an East West grid, that would make it a lot easier for Canadians to share electricity amongst each other. This would also have the benefit of helping connect more rural and remote communities. So I draw your attention back to a podcast episode I did with quest Canada, where we talked about some of those more remote communities and how a lot of them are not connected to a reliable grid. So there's a lot of work that can be done to really shore up how we connect across the country to the different areas, especially with a major east west grid. And of course, this is supported during this kind of, you know, a little bit tumultuous political climate that we have as we're reevaluating trading relationships with the United States, with other countries, it's important that we really focus on, how do we make sure things flow very well within our own borders? Beyond just the transmission and the grid upgrades that we need to do, we also need to look at diversifying our supply of electricity. So here in Canada, we use a lot of hydro generation, but extreme weather that causes droughts put that at risk. And so low water levels can impact electrical production, and we need to be prepared to have alternative sources as well. We still need to focus on making sure those sources are renewable. So really looking at expanding wind, solar, nuclear energy in some cases, as well as building out other hydro electric generation resources, is really important to have a good diversified mix. And on top of all that, we also need to continue looking at, how can we lower our energy consumption, especially during those peak times, especially when the grid is under stress at certain times of the day or from certain weather events. And we've seen that this can work. So in January 2024 the Alberta electric system operator, or IESO, issued an alert. It was a cold weather alert asking customers to reduce their electricity use during an extremely cold period in that province. And. And shortly after that, there was a 200 megawatt drop in electricity demand, which really helped the province avoid a series of rolling outages and avoid some real challenges on the grid. So it does work when customers are asked to alter their behavior in, you know, hopefully, small and subtle ways to manage grid peaks, and that's a really huge tool that we have. And we've talked before on the show about the role of managing peak times on the grid and being able to shift some of that usage to other times to avoid over stressing the assets that we have. That's going to be a really important strategy as we face increasing demand and extreme weather outages to make sure we're not over stressing the grid. So to sum that all up, extreme weather is going to impact our grid, and utilities do need to be aware of that and plan for how to build a grid that is more resilient and more reliable in the face of that increasing extreme weather. The good news is that utility companies know this and are already moving in that direction, and hydro Ottawa is a good example of that, of really focusing on building out reliability on its grid with some of the investment plans that we have put forward, and that extends all the way up to the federal level as well, where our federal leadership is looking at, how do we plan a EAST, WEST grid, really build out that provincial grid, and while we do that, a continued focus on energy efficiency and reducing electricity demand during peak times, and the various tools that we have to do that. So yes, extreme weather is coming, but there's a plan of how to deal with that. So thanks for tuning in today. It's really great to be back here behind the microphone and chatting with you all. Our next episode is another look at grid modernization, but this time through a customer lens, and really, what does grid modernization mean for customers?

Während die Regierung mit Gipfeltreffen wie dem Autogipfel oder Stahlgipfel auf Symbolpolitik setzt, droht das Land in eine tiefe Energiekrise zu geraten. Schon wird gewarnt: Der Strommangel ist so gewaltig, dass es bald zu Abschaltungen kommen kann. Krankenhäuser sollen Operationen verschieben, Unternehmen den Betrieb einstellen, so die Forderung von Netzexperten. Operationen verschieben? Wie soll das gehen, wenn der Blinddarm entzündet ist oder das Kind geboren werden will? Eigentlich muss Deutschland 70 Gaskraftwerke bauen, um die Stromlücke zu schließen, erklärt Roland Tichy. Das war der Plan, den die Bundesnetzagentur noch unter der Führung des Grünenpolitikers Robert Habeck vorgelegt hat. Doch nun protestieren die Grünen gegen den Bau eben dieser Kraftwerke – sie werden ja mit fossilen Energien betrieben. Wo das Gas, das in diesen Kraftwerken dann zu Strom verwandelt wird, ist auch noch nicht klar. Parallel dazu will die SPD „Catcalling“ unter Strafe stellen. Das sind die Prioritäten einer Politik, die sich der Energie- und Wirtschaftskrise ergeben hat.

«Der Strom kommt zuverlässig aus der Steckdose»: Jahrzehntelang war das selbstverständlich. Doch gilt das noch? Blackouts in Spanien und Portugal sowie Engpässe in den Niederlanden zeigen: Die Versorgung ist nicht mehr immer garantiert. In der Schweiz bereitet vor allem die absehbare Winterstromlücke Sorgen. Kommt der Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien genug schnell voran? Welche Rolle kann […] The post Blackout-Gefahr in der Schweiz? Was wir vom Ausland lernen können appeared first on Avenir Suisse.

Energiewende Deutschland Batteriespeicher – darum geht's in dieser Episode mit Energieunternehmer und Autor Gerd Schöller. Zuerst räumen wir Mythen beiseite, danach übersetzen wir Fakten in konkrete Schritte für Unternehmen.   Energie bleibt der Treibstoff für Wachstum; zugleich sorgt die Debatte für Unsicherheit. Einerseits hören wir Warnungen vor Blackouts, andererseits sehen wir enorme Fortschritte bei Erneuerbaren. Genau deshalb ordnen wir ein: Was ist Panik, was ist Physik – und was ist Politik?   Warum Batteriespeicher jetzt der Hebel sind: Sie glätten Erzeugungsspitzen, verhindern Lastspitzen und stabilisieren das Netz. Außerdem lassen sich Preisspreads gezielt nutzen. Dadurch steigen Planbarkeit und Wirtschaftlichkeit. Gleichzeitig ermöglicht bidirektionales Laden, dass E-Autos als flexible Speicher dienen. Somit entsteht ein neues Ökosystem aus PV, Ladelösungen und Smart Metering.   Wo es noch hakt: Zwar ist die Technik vorhanden, jedoch bremsen Prozesse, Genehmigungen und Schnittstellen. Hinzu kommt, dass der Smart-Meter-Rollout vielerorts träge wirkt. Folglich verlieren Projekte wertvolle Monate. Damit die Energiewende in Deutschland mit Batteriespeichern skaliert, brauchen wir vereinfachte Standards, klare Zuständigkeiten und kürzere Fristen.   Konkrete Schritte für Unternehmen: Erstens solltest du den Stromeinkauf strategisch aufstellen; insbesondere eignen sich PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) für planbare, wettbewerbsfähige Preise. Zweitens lohnt sich Lastmanagement: Wenn Prozesse flexibilisiert werden, sinken Kosten unmittelbar. Drittens denke Energiewende Deutschland Batteriespeicher als Gesamtsystem: PV + Speicher + Ladeinfrastruktur + Steuerung – und zwar aus einem Guss. Viertens: Messe, analysiere und steuere Verbräuche kontinuierlich; nur so erkennst du schnelle Hebel.   Realistische Einordnung statt Alarmismus: Selbstverständlich bleibt der Umbau komplex; trotzdem zeigen zahlreiche Projekte, dass er wirtschaftlich tragfähig ist. Darüber hinaus entstehen neue Geschäftsmodelle – vom Spitzenlast-Management bis zu Flexibilitätsmärkten. Wer jetzt handelt, verschafft sich folglich einen Vorsprung bei Kostenstabilität, Resilienz und Nachhaltigkeit.   Der Blick nach vorn: Schritt für Schritt wachsen Erneuerbare, während Speicher und digitale Zähler die Volatilität ausgleichen. Gleichzeitig werden Prosumer-Modelle alltagstauglich. Deshalb geht es weniger um Ob, sondern um Wie und Wann. Entscheidend sind Tempo, klare Verantwortlichkeiten und eine Prise Mut, Projekte wirklich umzusetzen. Schließlich zahlt sich das nicht nur ökologisch, sondern vor allem betriebswirtschaftlich aus.   In der Folge bekommst du also den roten Faden: von der Einordnung über die Blockaden bis zu praxistauglichen Lösungen. Hör rein, setz die nächsten Schritte um – und mache die Energiewende zu einem Wettbewerbsvorteil.

In April, Spain suffered a nationwide blackout that lasted nearly a full day. It was a traumatic event for one of Europe’s fastest adopters of solar power, tripling capacity in just five years. The outage sparked a big question: Was solar to blame? And what will it take to avoid blackouts in the renewables era? Bloomberg Green’s Laura Millan joins Akshat Rathi on Zero to unpack the lessons from the Iberian Peninsula and the technologies that could make such blackouts a thing of the past.

They break down how propane generators and appliances can keep homes running when the grid goes down, why California's “clean truck” mandates just hit a wall with the FTC, and how propane continues to prove itself as the ultimate on-site energy battery. With a mix of humor, industry insight, and a shout-out to retiring board member Boyd Cook, this episode reminds us why propane isn't just a fuel—it's peace of mind.

SHOW #1558 Glenda's New Career, Heat Wave, Blackouts, QE2 Isn't Dead, and More

bto#310 – Am 28. April 2025, exakt um 12:33 Uhr mittags, brach das Stromnetz in Spanien zusammen. Aufgrund der Berichterstattung hierzulande konnte man den Eindruck gewinnen, das Ganze sei zwar ärgerlich gewesen, zugleich aber auch ein großes Happening. Bilder zeigten Menschen, die bei Kerzenschein an langen Tafeln saßen und aßen, was sonst bei den Wirten mangels Kühlung verdorben wäre. Die Botschaft, die bei vielen Betrachtern so angekommen sein dürfte, war klar: alles gar nicht so schlimm.Dabei ist ein großflächiger und langanhaltenderStromausfall (Blackout) nach Einschätzung von Forschern der ETH Zürich ein “maximalglaubwürdiges Ereignis”. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines solchen Ereignisses kann nicht berechnet werden, aber es liegt absolut im Bereich des Möglichen. Das zeigt auch das Beispiel Spanien, wenngleich hier spezifische Bedingungen zu berücksichtigen sind. Trotzdem lässt dieser Vorfall erahnen, wie fatal die Folgen eines solchen Blackouts wären, sollte der Strom länger als drei Tage ausfallen. In Spanien forderte der Stromausfall “nur” drei Todesopfer. Traurig genug, jedoch wären es unter anderen jahreszeitlichen und klimatischen Bedingungen wohl deutlich mehr gewesen.Wie man sich auf ein solches Szenario vorbereitet, bespricht Daniel Stelter mit Herbert Saurugg, Präsident der Gesellschaft für Krisenvorsorge in Österreich.

No Internet for a year: Why Equatorial Guinea has kept Annobón island offline For 12 months, the people of Annobón, an island province of Equatorial Guinea, have lived in a digital blackout - cut off from the world with no explanation. Why would a government deliberately silence its own citizens? In this episode of Somewhere on Earth, we speak with Tutu Alicante (EG Justice) and Felicia Anthonio (Access Now) about the shocking reality of one of the world's longest-running internet shutdowns. Digital rights groups are now demanding action - but will the world listen?  From oil giant to climate ally? How Petrobras is unlocking emissions data for the world What if the key to fighting climate change wasn't just more data - but making it accessible to everyone? In a groundbreaking partnership, Brazil's Petrobras and tech hub CESAR have transformed dense emissions reports into an interactive public dashboard tracking G20 nations' climate progress. Could making this complex scientific data easily accessible and understandable bring real change?

United States Postal Service spokesperson John Hyatt shares highlights from 250 years of mail delivery; Fernanda Camarena with the Poynter Institute discusses the consequences of media blackouts

Send us a textWhat does it mean to be "sober curious" in a culture where drinking is the default social activity? In this raw and revealing conversation, Jacquelynn starts with a deeply personal confession about her own struggles with alcohol, sharing recent setbacks despite her previous confidence in having overcome her unhealthy relationship with drinking.Leanna, a self-described "retired party girl turned event planner and blogger," joins the conversation and unpacks the nuanced territory between traditional alcoholism and casual drinking. Having spent years binge drinking three to five nights a week to the point of blackout, her journey toward sobriety offers profound insights for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol.The discussion takes unexpected turns as both women share vulnerable stories about identity, friendship loss, and those painful moments when alcohol turned them into people they didn't recognize. "I like to say that now I'm making memories instead of losing them," Leanna reflects, capturing the essence of what sobriety offers beyond just abstinence.Beyond the emotional and social aspects, they explore the physical impacts of alcohol—how it disrupts sleep rather than improving it, increases anxiety despite temporarily relieving it, and takes a toll on overall health. For those who've built their social lives and identities around being "the life of the party," the fear of who they'll become without alcohol is real and daunting.Whether you're firmly committed to sobriety, simply "sober curious," or just intrigued by the growing movement challenging alcohol's central role in society, this conversation offers compassionate wisdom without judgment. The message resonates clearly: your relationship with alcohol doesn't define you, and exploring life without it might reveal a more authentic, energized version of yourself you never knew existed.How might your social life, health, and self-understanding transform if you questioned your relationship with alcohol?

Josh Sigurdson reports on the warnings by the Department of Energy of a 100x increase in blackout risk by 2030 as land is seized in places like California following the Pacific Palisades fires through eminent domain and used for low income apartments and 15 Minute City infrastructure. As a new California bill seizes land after the Pacific Palisades fires, people like Grant Cardone had previously warned of this as his house was one of the few ocean front properties in Malibu that survived. Now, California Senate Bill 549 has passed making this a reality. This comes at the same time as we see massive floods in Texas around Kerr County as well as in New Mexico, North Carolina and elsewhere. Flash flooding is strangely popping up everywhere with much of those places facing land redevelopment. Spain faced major land grabs as well as blackouts just months ago following massive floods as well. Now the DoE is warning of 100x increases in blackout risks by 2030 on the same day as Trump's Energy Security executive order. Trump also put $1 trillion into massive AI data centers in Texas, causing a massive strain on the grid. Puerto Rico is facing blackout threats after New Fortress Energy halted LNG shipments. Farmers are warning if a supply chain disaster as we see massive shortages. This is all by design. Collapse the grid. Collapse the food supply. Create problems on the internet and then they come in with their technocratic "solution" which is already being rolled out and that is not a coincidence. The digital ID system. CBDCs. Artificial intelligence and of course the WEF agenda of "owning nothing" in the face of dependence and disaster. The script was written long ago. We cannot deny the fact that the entire technocratic grid just happens to be rolling out as trillions go into AI and the dollar fails leading to a new cashless system. From the United Nations Pact For The Future which 193 countries signed onto last September to the GENIUS Act, the AI deals with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the entire world is moving to a ration based system while the old system is collapsing.

It's an episode of big names and exclusive name drops as iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, welcomes SBC's CEO and Founder, Rasmus Sojmark, to dig deeper into the Legends Charity Game in Lisbon this September.  Rasmus delves deeper into, what will be, an unforgettable night of football as SBC proudly presents the Legends Charity Game, a historic showdown between the World Legends and Portugal Legends, taking place on Monday, September 15th in Lisbon. The event aims to raise over €1 million for global communities affected by conflict and war, blending the magic of the beautiful game with a powerful humanitarian mission. The pitch will be graced by football royalty. The Portugal Legends, led by Luís Figo, will reunite stars from the iconic Euro 2004 squad, including Deco, Quaresma, Victor Baía, and more. On the other side, the World Legends, managed by Peter Schmeichel and Diego Lugano, will feature Ronaldinho, Cafu, Zanetti, Hagi, Van der Sar, and Henrik Larsson, just to name a few. One of the most anticipated storylines? Greece's Georgios Karagounis faces the very players he defeated in the Euro 2004 final. The Legends Charity Game also kicks off the SBC Summit Lisbon (Sept 16–18), the biggest B2B iGaming event of the year. The summit will host 700 exhibitors, eight conference stages, and 30,000+ attendees. Highlights include a Super Stage press event with the football legends, live music, free food, and headline performances from Joel Corry, Timmy Trumpet, Imanbek, Alok, and The Blackouts.Click here to purchase tickets for the Legends Charity Game To read more on the Legends Charity Game click on the following link:- https://sbcnews.co.uk/europe/2025/07/17/legends-charity-game-lisbon/Host: Joe StreeterGuest: Rasmus Sojmark Producer: Anaya McDonaldEditor: James Ross

In this explosive monologue, the host unpacks how aggressive green energy policies in the Netherlands have led to blackout hours and industrial shutdowns—a preview, he warns, of what Democrats planned for America. He then details the shocking escalation of violence against ICE agents, including doxxing by Rep. Salud Carbajal that ended with an ICE spokesperson hospitalized after being attacked by a mob. The segment pivots to chilling revelations about assassination threats against Donald Trump, including Iranian missiles smuggled into the U.S. and alleged Secret Service failures during an attempted assassination. Highlighting the unacknowledged heroism of Butler County SWAT operator Aaron Zaliponi—who fired the critical shot that saved Trump's life—the host raises alarms over institutional cover-ups and the ongoing danger to the former president. This is a sobering examination of energy policy fallout, radical anti-ICE violence, and high-level security failures that, he argues, threaten the nation's stability.

After Gordon's brutal hit, we're asking the question no one at Daiken Park wants to answer- are he Astros' medical staff dropping the ball...again. Meanwhile, a BBQ debate gets spicy: can LA actually hang with Texas in the smokehouse or is Lance just being Lance. 

What Really Happened During the Iberian Blackout This Spring? And How Should We Make Sense of the Conflicting Reports?  To shed light on the events, Gerard and Laurent are joined by global energy expert Steve Berberich, who served as President and CEO of the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) from 2011 to 2020. Steve led CAISO through the August 2020 blackout in California and now serves as President and CEO of Onward Energy.  We begin by placing the Iberian blackout in a broader context—comparing and contrasting it with major grid failures from recent years: South Australia 2016, California 2020, Texas Uri 2021, Ireland 2024, Louisiana 2025 and of course Iberia 2025.  We examine both the long-term systemic weaknesses and short-term triggering events behind each case—identifying patterns, divergences, and the reforms that followed in their aftermath. Then we turn our full attention to Spain.   Unlike the other blackouts, the Iberian event did not stem from extreme weather. Instead, Steve—along with Gerard and Laurent—dives deep into the underlying structural vulnerabilities of the Spanish grid.  From regulatory gaps and design flaws to operational mistakes, we scrutinize the entire system and arrive at a set of clear, evidence-based conclusions.  Link to Gerard's substack https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/spains-grid-blame-blackouts-bureaucracy-gerard-reid-tiqre/  Link to the Energy Institute Report https://www.energyinst.org/statistical-review

Joon Lee joined Baskin and Phelps and shared what he learned when he took a step back from the sports industry and began watching sports as a fan rather than a media member. He talked about how expensive it is to be a sports fan, where those costs are coming from, and how it is impacting both the fan and the industry.

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – The recent heat wave in the eastern US led some to say that this was the result of human greenhouse gas releases. But the best record of its kind in the world, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) state-wide extreme weather database, shows that this is not true at all. After setting 27 extreme weather records in 1936...

What will it take to finally wean Europe off Russian gas? Can renewables help with grid stability? And is the EU making a mistake subsidising hydrogen? This week on Cleaning Up, Michael Liebreich sits down with EU Energy and Housing Commissioner Dan Jørgensen to dissect the continent's energy transformation. In this wide ranging interview recorded at the Berlaymont building in Brussels — the home of the European Commission — Liebreich and Jørgensen delve into critical topics including reducing dependency on Russian energy, the economics of renewable technologies, the role of nuclear power, and the contentious economics of green hydrogen. Jørgensen defends the EU's ambitious climate goals while addressing concerns about cost, competitiveness, and political pushback against the green transition. Leadership Circle:Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP of Portugal, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

In this extended two-part broadcast, Tara breaks down the deepening crisis in American energy policy and its global implications. Energy Secretary Doug Burgum warns that eliminating coal by 2030 could lead to devastating Spain-style blackouts in the U.S., as China ramps up coal-powered energy to dominate the AI arms race. Meanwhile, California teeters on the edge of energy collapse, facing $10 gas and refinery seizures—mirroring the tactics of failed socialist regimes. The conversation turns to Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" and his controversial handling of judicial appointments during his first term. Trump admits he was misled by the Federalist Society, a revelation that stirs concern about his past decisions and their lasting impact on U.S. policy and trade. As legal battles unfold over Trump's tariff agenda, a larger question emerges: Can he regain control before it's too late? In a dramatic pivot, Tara unpacks Trump's troubling lack of awareness about NATO-backed drone attacks on Russian soil and escalating tensions in Ukraine. With the risk of World War III looming, Tara calls out the urgent need for better advisors and stronger leadership. This comprehensive exposé ties together domestic energy struggles, judicial missteps, global conflict, and the high stakes of 2024—offering a sobering look at what's ahead if course corrections aren't made.
