Solar farms and cheaper energy sources could be key to getting more small players in the game. Latest data from MBIE shows total energy supply decreased last year, while renewable energy generation increased. Coal consumption dropped to a new record low, and natural gas consumption fell to its lowest level since 2008. Energy security expert David Keat told Mike Hosking solar farms are relatively cheap. He says small companies can build a solar farm up north, do a deal with a farmer, and supply power to the grid. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Weeks after a woman's mysterious disappearance, a ship's captain noticed something off about two of his passengers — a quiet, bespectacled man and his teenage "son." He couldn't shake the feeling he'd seen that face somewhere recently. So he did something no ship's captain had ever been able to do before: He alerted police, instantly, from the middle of the ocean that two murder suspects might be aboard his vessel. What followed was one of the strangest manhunts in criminal history, and a case that would later split a forensic field down the middle more than 100 years later.Crimes of the Centuries is a podcast from Grab Bag Collab exploring forgotten crimes from times past that made a mark and helped change history.

Episode: 1615 On learning to use coal.  Today, we learn why we shouldn't bring coals to Newcastle.

What happens when ambition becomes more important than humanity? In the late 1800s, America is undergoing a dramatic transformation. Coal mines are expanding, fortunes are being built, industrialists are becoming powerful, and entire communities are being reshaped by the machinery of the Industrial Age. But beneath the booming industry is another story—one about the people living in its shadow. In Dr. James Gregory's new novel, Ghost Town, we meet Sammy Murphy, a young man growing up in the isolated coal-mining town of Sulphur Creek. His world is one of solitude, shadowy tunnels, and secrets. And then there's Barry Bacon, an ambitious industrialist who dreams of becoming a titan like Andrew Carnegie. Bacon believes power and success are within his grasp—but his unchecked ambition may ultimately threaten everything he's built. As Sammy discovers love and begins to emerge from his isolation, and Bacon watches his empire begin to unravel, the two men are forced to confront very different questions about power, connection, and what it means to truly belong. Today, Dr. James Gregory joins us to talk about Ghost Town, America's industrial past, the psychology of ambition, the meaning of love, and why a story set in the coal fields of the nineteenth century may have something surprisingly urgent to say about our lives today.

We had HIGH hopes for this one.Absolutely Devoted to You gave us Kimberley Sustad, Jesse Metcalfe, a healthy dose of '90s nostalgia, AND a storyline about reuniting a former boy band. What could possibly go wrong?Welllllll…In this Quick Watch, we recap Hallmark's latest and try to figure out why a movie with so much going for it left us surprisingly cold. We're talking the story, the chemistry, the nostalgia, the missed opportunities, and, of course, handing out some GOLD and COAL along the way.Were we too hard on this one? Or were you disappointed, too?

The 12 Pods of Christmas roll into Hope Valley!

Australia has one of the world's fastest-moving electricity systems. It leads the world in rooftop solar, has deployed grid-scale batteries at extraordinary speed, and is now starting to replace its ageing coal fleet with cleaner sources of energy. But as renewable costs rise and electricity demand grows, can the transition remain affordable while maintaining a reliable power system? This week on Cleaning Up, Michael Liebreich is joined by Paul Simshauser, CEO of Iberdrola Australia, and one of Australia's leading energy economists. Drawing on decades of experience across electricity markets, networks and policy, Paul explains what makes Australia's power system unique, and what the rest of the world can learn from it. They discuss why rooftop solar has become so successful in Australia, how batteries are transforming electricity markets, and how the country's energy-only market encourages investment. They also explore the economics of replacing ageing coal plants, the costs of new renewable generation, the role of electricity pricing and demand tariffs, and what will be needed to build a resilient, affordable power system as Australia moves towards net zero. Topics discussed in this episode: The rooftop solar revolution How batteries are reshaping the grid Why solar is cheaper in Australia than elsewhere The challenges of retiring coal Whether renewables can stay affordable Building a resilient power system Leadership Circle: Cleaning Up is proud to be supported by its Leadership Circle. The members are Actis, Alcazar Energy, Arup, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, Cygnum Capital, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, Schneider Electric, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

Chris and Jamal are back for Episode 238, and after some dad talk about birthdays, kids growing up, college, lacrosse, and just how different parenting is in the digital age, they jump into a week where the Wayfarer community had a lot to say. The guys revisit last week's discussion about moving Wayspots and gameboard optimization after listeners raise an important question: what happens when moving an existing Wayspot into a new cell affects someone else's legitimate nomination, or even another game entirely? They also discover that apparently they managed to upset both the breakfast-mushroom community AND Pikmin Bloom players in the same episode. Impressive. Then it's time for the main event. A Pokémon GO player took to X claiming they received a 30-day ban after simply trying to help their community by submitting PokéStops. Sounds scary... until you start looking at the details. Multiple accounts, a nomination for something already on the map, and a screenshot from a YouTube video being used as the nomination photo suddenly make the story look very different. Jamal and Chris break down the viral conversation surrounding the ban and tackle some of the arguments that followed. Can reviewers actually target a specific submitter? Why can a Wayfarer violation affect your Pokémon GO account? Should volunteers really be punished for breaking the rules? What about spoofers and major content creators who appear to violate Terms of Service without consequences? And when does legitimate criticism of Wayfarer cross over into fear mongering? The conversation leads to a simple message: participating in Wayfarer is not inherently dangerous. Enforcement emails can sometimes be poorly worded, community review will never be perfectly consistent, and legitimate nominations absolutely get rejected. But those things are very different from receiving enforcement action after violating established rules. They also examine another ban situation involving accounts being used by children and how something that initially looks like another frightening enforcement story can become much easier to understand once all the details come out. And for anyone hearing these stories and wondering whether they should even try Wayfarer, the guys finish the discussion with the opposite message: yes, you should. Read the guidelines, start reviewing, connect with experienced Wayfinders, ask questions, and get involved. The goal shouldn't be to make people afraid of Wayfarer. It should be to help people understand how to participate responsibly. Plus, we've got Wayspots of the Week, Coal of the Week, Tales from Canada, Dad Jokes, and plenty of the usual Wayspotters chaos along the way. Stick around for: Chris and Jamal discover that sometimes the biggest threat to your Wayfarer account isn't Scopely Explore, the reviewers, or some mysterious person targeting your nominations... Sometimes you just need to stop hurting yourself.

The St. Louis sky was once dark one day out of every three. Sunlight was precious, and often disappeared behind blankets of smoke. The culprit was coal. The book “Black Gold: The Rise, Reign and Fall of American Coal" was inspired by journalist Bob Wyss' interest in how St. Louis became an early environmental success story when it cleared its sky in 1941. In this encore edition of a St. Louis on the Air episode that first aired November 3, 2025. Also joining the conversation about St. Louis' key role in the story of coal in America is local historian Andrew Theising; he shares insights on Raymond Tucker, who led the city's "Smoke Elimination Committee." Tucker, who eventually became an influential St. Louis mayor, is the subject of Theising's 2024 book "Mid-Mod Mayor: How Raymond Tucker Shaped St. Louis."

Crystal Ball tells all about her background at the Bonneville Power Administration, PNUCC's Northwest Regional Forecast, gas-electric coordination, and how power is all about people.

This week, Chris and Jamal get into one of the biggest philosophical questions Wayfarer has faced since the transition to Scopely Explore: should gameplay finally have a seat at the table? They debate whether legitimate location edits that improve the gameboard should still be considered abuse, discuss if Scopely should be more transparent about S2 cells and inclusion rules, and imagine what Wayfarer would look like if it were built from scratch by a gaming company instead of a mapping company. Before diving into the topics, Chris responds to a lively Reddit discussion surrounding last week's episode and clarifies his thoughts on Wayfarer, player data, and Niantic's original mission. Chris responds to last week's Reddit debate and clears up the context behind his comments. A major Wayfarer update now lets you finish draft submissions from anywhere without returning to the nomination location. Should gameplay optimization still be considered abuse if the final pin location remains accurate? If Scopely built Wayfarer from scratch today, what rules would stay, what would change, and what would disappear? One's Gotta Go: Pizza Toppings Edition (Pepperoni, Sausage, Bacon, or Mushrooms?) Wayspots of the Week feature a stunning dog park mural and a beautifully designed boardwalk entrance. Coal of the Week highlights why Little Free Libraries on K–12 school property should never be nominated.

Nuclear energy was supposed to transform the world. Then came Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and Fukushima, and public trust collapsed. But for 25 years, engineers across a dozen countries have been quietly designing a new generation of reactors built to fail safely without relying on human intervention or mechanical backup systems. And the target date they set back in 2000 is almost here.   In this episode of Business For Good, Paul Shapiro speaks with Edward Friedman, a nuclear historian and advocate who has been writing and speaking publicly about nuclear energy since 1961. Edward walks through the misunderstandings that still shape public perception of nuclear accidents, explains why Generation IV reactor designs represent a fundamental shift in safety architecture, and lays out why the United States risks falling behind China and Russia in building the energy infrastructure the climate crisis demands.   Things You Will Learn: Why Generation 4 nuclear reactors are designed to shut down on their own using the laws of physics, without relying on human operators or mechanical safety systems. How the Godzilla franchise shaped decades of public fear about radiation far beyond what the science supports. Why China has connected 55 new nuclear reactors to its grid since 2000 while the United States has connected only three. How Bill Gates' TerraPower plans to replace coal plants with sodium-cooled nuclear reactors of identical size and power output. Why training programs for nuclear technicians and support staff may be one of the biggest bottlenecks in scaling nuclear energy.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: Generation IV International Forum: A multinational collaboration launched in 2000 to develop four categories of advanced nuclear reactor designs that are fail-safe, economical, and do not use water-based cooling systems. Fail-Safe Reactor Design: An engineering approach in which reactors shut themselves down through the laws of physics when overheated, using mechanisms like fluid expansion or melt plugs rather than human intervention or active mechanical systems. Coal-to-Nuclear Replacement Model: Bill Gates' strategy of building nuclear reactors sized to match existing coal plants, enabling direct replacement of fossil fuel infrastructure without redesigning the surrounding grid.   #BusinessForGood #FutureOfFood #AlternativeProtein #SustainableBusiness

On this day, 29 July 2019, the Blackjewel coal blockade began in eastern Kentucky. Mine operator Blackjewel went bankrupt, leaving hundreds of coalminers out of work and with weeks of unpaid wages. So five workers decided to block a train full of coal worth $1 million from leaving a mine, demanding what they were owed. The number of occupiers grew to dozens over the coming weeks, and lasted 59 days. Blackjewel later agreed to pay the workers over $5 million in unpaid wages.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10106/blackjewel-blockadeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Chair Tawney discusses her path to being a regulator, the challenges and opportunities of meeting rising demand in Oregon, and how it relates to knitting!

Farming dominated the Zuid Afrikaanse Republiek economy in the 1880s, even after gold was discovered in the eastern Transvaal but that was about to change. Last episode we heard about the early gold finds around Rustenburg which was part of the Witwatersrand Ward back in the late 1800s. Farms along the Ridge of White Waters had a fairly steady supply of water courtesy of the many springs that could be found along the ridge. Still, the freezing winters and the lack of wood meant the region was not in high demand despite water and fairly good soils. By 1886 dozens of diggers began arriving on the Witwatersrand, having heard reports of the earlier finds and growing tired of the limited options available in Pilgrims Rest. Others made their way from the south, from Kimberley or the coast, trekking on foot. Two of those were the George's I mentioned in episode 284 .. George Harrison and George Walker, who walked from the Orange Free State who had decided to chance their luck in Barberton. If it were possible and we teleported ourselves back to this time, we would have come across hundreds of other fortune seekers tramping across the countryside, determined to strike it lucky. George Harrison is a bit of a mystery. He was Australian, or perhaps more accurately, an Englishman who'd live in Australia and joined the gold rush there, failed to find any treasure, then read about the Eastern Transvaal Barberton and Pilgrim's Rest discoveries and made a B-line for South Africa. We don't know much more about Harrison's origin story. George Walker on the other hand had quite an extensive CV — born in Wigan in England in 1853, he made his way to Kimberley in 1879 but had little luck digging for diamonds. He joined a British cavalry contingent during the Anglo-Zulu war and fought in Zululand, after which he rode off to Pilgrim's Rest and Kaapsehoop to dig for gold. Coal had been discovered in large quantities in the Free State, and he first took up a job at the Witrand Coal Mine near Kroonstad, where he met Elizabeth Johanna Catharina Pretorius and the couple married in 1883. It was there that George Harrison bumped into him on his great trek from Kimberley to the eastern Transvaal gold fields and the two decided to try their luck one more time at Barberton. George Walker left his wife Catharina and children in Potchefstroom, and joined Harrison for their trek to Barberton. They broke their journey on the Witwatersrand, deciding to earn more cash to set themselves up with a wagon, horses and other necessities before heading on to Barberton. It just so happened that the Struben brothers were looking for builders around their Confidence Mine, which as you heard last episode, was somewhat of a misnomer. When Hendrik Potgieter and other Voortrekker reconnaissance parties arrived along the Vaal and Witwatersrand in 1836, battles followed, eventually the Ndebele were pushed out the Transvaal completely and ended up in Zimbabwe. The two Georges would have been aware of the Potgieter saga, but blissfully unaware of the pre-history as they wondered through Langlaagte Farm. Originally 2 260 Morgan in size, It had been broken up into four portions. In common with other pastoral communities across Southern Africa, Boer custom stipulated that marriage entailed a land grant or farm subdivision for every son. The difference is most African communities relied on the King or Chief assigning land, whereas in the Boers case, it was the grandfather, or the father. Portion A was owned by Andries Breedt, Portion B by Anna Elizabeth de Beer Mulder - her maiden name was Oosthuizen - Portion C by Gerhardus Oosthuizen, and Portion D by the widow Petronella Oosthuizen and her son, Jan Hendrick Oosthuizen. Portion D was where Harrison was working, building the widow and her son their home. George Walker and George Harrison strolled onto Gerhardus' Oosthuizen's Portion C property, when they stumbled on a well weathered outcrop of rock.

Hallmark's final Christmas in July premiere comes with a twist: It isn't actually new.Love Under the Mistletoe has been available elsewhere for two years under a different title, and after watching it... we may understand why.Join us for another fun recap, plenty of laughs, and our Gold or Coal verdict as we close out Christmas in July.

In this episode, host Kristin Hayes invites Sara Baldwin-Griffin to give her perspective on Utah's growing renewable energy sector—a product of the state's abundant resources, increasing energy demand, and collaborative policy landscape. Baldwin-Griffin, as chief executive officer of Utah Clean Energy, is supporting the industry's boom as solar, wind, geothermal, and battery power have grown from less than 5 percent to approximately 20 percent of Utah's energy generation within just two decades. Not only do sustainable sources of energy offer solutions for affordability and reliability issues, which have been exacerbated by the state's emerging data center projects, but renewable energy can inject vitality back into struggling local economies. Baldwin-Griffin elaborates on the factors that have led to Utah's clean-energy success so far, including bipartisan support and community engagement, and speculates on next steps to increase renewable energy adoption across the Western United States.

Victoria is undertaking one of Australia's most ambitious electricity transitions. The state is aiming for 65% renewable electricity by 2030 and 95% by 2035, replacing ageing coal-fired power stations with renewable electricity, batteries and offshore wind while keeping the lights on and consumers' bills down. This week on Cleaning Up's Deep Dive Australia, Michael Liebreich is joined by Lily D'Ambrosio, Victoria's Minister for Climate Action, Energy and the State Electricity Commission, who has overseen the state's energy transition for more than a decade. Together Minister D'Ambrosio and Michael examine the policies driving the transition, from renewable energy auctions and large-scale batteries, to offshore wind and transmission planning. Michael also challenges the Minister on some of the most controversial aspects of Victoria's strategy, including unpublished modelling, coal closure agreements, and the politics of moving households away from gas. Topics: Victoria's energy transition and the role of state governments Replacing coal with renewables Batteries, electricity markets and falling wholesale prices Coal plant closures and investor certainty Transparency, modelling and political accountability Transmission, community opposition and Renewable Energy Zones Offshore wind and the future generation mix Gas, household electrification and cost of living Leadership, public confidence and delivering the transition Leadership Circle: Cleaning Up is proud to be supported by its Leadership Circle.

This week Jamal and Chris are back together as Chris returns to the show, and there is plenty to catch up on! The guys discuss the end of the standalone Wayfarer social media presence and what combining Wayfarer and general player support under Scopely Explore could mean for communication with the community. Will Wayfarer benefit from a larger audience, or will important updates get lost among game support issues? And does this move make the Wayfarer Community Forum more important than ever? Then, inspired by a listener question, Jamal and Chris break down how to write a successful Wayfarer appeal. From addressing the actual rejection reason and bringing new evidence to avoiding emotional arguments and making reviewers do the work for you, they share practical advice for giving your appeal its best chance of success. Plus, One's Gotta Go forces them to choose between Google Street View, official website links, supporting photos, and satellite view. Which essential Wayfarer tool could they live without forever? Stick around for two very different Wayspots of the Week, including a lesson in how to get a Wayspot approved inside one of the biggest chain restaurants in the world, plus a beautiful mural celebrating a Pennsylvania town's coal-mining roots. Then Grandpa TP sends us straight to detention with a Coal of the Week that proves sometimes a great joke still makes for a terrible Wayspot. In this episode: Chris returns to the show Wayfarer and player support merge under Scopely Explore Does Wayfarer still need its own social media identity? Why the Wayfarer Forum may now be the real home for official communication How to build a stronger Wayfarer appeal Why you should address the rejection reason first Bringing evidence instead of emotion One's Gotta Go: Wayfarer Tools Edition How to nominate something eligible inside a chain restaurant A mural celebrating local coal-mining history A detention center nomination that belongs in the Coal pile Stick around for: Dad jokes, two Wayspots of the Week, Coal of the Week, and the return of the Jamal-and-Chris banter we've been missing!

The Domestic Crisis: Coal Strikes and the 1950 Winter of Discontent GUEST: Nick Bunker Despite the escalating Cold War, Harry Truman viewed the winter 1950 coal strike as his "greatest test." Coal was essential for heating homes and running trains, and a total shutdown early that year threatened the nation's basic functions. John L. Lewis, the fiery leader of the United Mine Workers, launched the strike to secure sustainable wages, pensions, and health benefits, knowing the industry faced a long-term decline against oil and gas. The conflict was particularly painful for Trumanbecause labor unions were his core constituency, yet he could not repeal the restrictive Taft-Hartley Act. Lewis publicly insulted the President, calling him "malignant" and "unfit" for office. During this period of high domestic tension, Americans sought escape in the opulent biblical epic Samson and Delilah, which became a massive box-office success. This cultural backdrop highlighted the contrast between the public's desire for normalcy and the administration's deepening crisis. (4)
