Dec. 17, 2025- New York League of Conservation Voters President Julie Tighe discusses new emissions data being collected from polluters by state environmental officials and makes the case for taking additional steps to reduce pollution.

Ireland's energy emissions are down 16% since 2018, even as the population has grown, but a new SEAI report warns progress is far too slow. To meet 2030 climate targets, emissions cuts must now more than double, with transport and energy infrastructure under particular pressure. All to discuss with Margie McCarth, Director of Research and Policy Insights at SEAI.

Today's question comes from listener Peter, who sent it through the Fear & Greed website:Who measures emissions, how are they measured, is the number audited, checked off on, and by who? Is it measured the same way in every country? BHP and FMG can measure their emissions, I'm assuming they have budgets, but what about for smaller companies, companies that aren't listed? Sean Aylmer is joined by Thomas Hodgson from sustainability consultancy Anthesis for an answer to Peter's question.Fear & Greed Q+A: Join Sean Aylmer & Michael Thompson and the team as they answer questions on business, investing, economics, politics and more.

Aleks Gampel is COO and Co-founder at Cuby, a company rethinking how homes are built in the middle of a nationwide housing crisis. The cost of housing has soared while construction productivity has barely budged in decades, and today's homes are still built through slow, wasteful, and carbon-intensive processes that aren't designed for escalating climate risks. Instead of shipping prefab boxes across the country, Cuby asks what it would look like if housing finally had its assembly line moment—and the factory moved to where homes are needed. Their mobile microfactories are inflatable, rapidly deployable facilities that manufacture standardized home components on or near the job site using mostly unskilled labor, then assemble houses in a predictable, repeatable way. In this conversation, Aleks unpacks the roots of the housing shortage, why past modular attempts fell short, and how Cuby's model could change what's possible for housing affordability, waste reduction, and resilience.Episode recorded on Nov 20, 2025 (Published on Dec 16, 2025)In this episode, we cover: [4:40] Causes for the housing crisis today  [8:17] Emissions associated with housing and how Cuby differs[12:54] An overview of  industrialized construction [16:43] Main challenges with industrialized construction[19:25] Cuby's antithesis to centralized gigafactories in construction[27:08] How Cuby's inflatable mobile microfactory works[30:17] Cuby's European headquarters and China facility [31:57] Cuby's single-family home design [33:30] The company's business model[37:52] Why Cuby isn't displacing jobs [38:55] The company's funding to date [40:15] What's next for Cuby Enjoyed this episode?

What if you could see every major greenhouse gas leak on the planet without ever setting foot on site?In this episode, Dave, John, and Lysandra sit down with Stephane Germain, founder and CEO of GHGSat Inc, to break down how satellites are transforming emissions measurement from a guessing game into hard data. Stephane reveals how GHGSat's technology moves beyond outdated estimates to real, facility-level detection of methane and other greenhouse gases, enabling companies to find leaks, cut losses, and boost profits, all while meeting tightening regulations. Hear how direct measurement is upending old assumptions in oil & gas, waste, and agriculture, why most operators underestimate their emissions, and how better data can unlock both environmental and financial wins.You'll also hear real-world case studies like the Texas gas plant that tripled its revenue after a “harmless” leak was exposed, and get a blunt take on why the culture shift around emissions is just getting started. Plus: what's next for space-based monitoring, how regulators use (and don't use) this data, and why the business case for emissions management is finally too strong to ignore.Chapters:00:00 Welcome and Introduction02:00 The Birth of GHGSat and Measuring from Space05:14 Why Estimates Fail (and How Direct Measurement Works)12:34 Who's Using the Tech: Oil & Gas, Agriculture, Waste17:05 Real-World Case Studies (and Costly Surprises)22:01 Verification, Accuracy, and Third-Party Testing28:44 What 20 Million Tons Actually Means32:39 The Next Frontier in Satellite Emissions Monitoring33:49 Final Takeaways: Why Data Changes the GameWant to see your emissions from space?

Producing and manufacturing electric vehicles (EVs) and their batteries uses a lot of energy, leading many to be skeptical about the environmental benefits of switching to electric. But a new study says that after two years of use, EVs emit fewer carbon dioxide emissions than vehicles fueled by petrol. The findings are key, as transportation accounts for a significant portion of U.S. emissions. While EVs run on electricity, which cuts out polluting exhaust emissions, traditional internal combustion engine vehicles run on petrol. Petrol is a fossil fuel that, when burned, drives climate change by emitting greenhouse gases that trap the Earth's heat. Researchers from Northern Arizona University and Duke University used a model to evaluate criteria air pollutants, which are monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency due to the harm they cause, and emissions across four potential scenarios for EV market share in the U.S., given how the energy system across the nation might develop over time. The least ambitious scenario for EV adoption assumed the share of EV sales reaches 31% in 2050, and the most ambitious assumed EVs reach 75% by 2050. EVs accounted for about 8% of new vehicle sales in 2024. They found that during an EV's first two years of operation, it produces 30% higher carbon dioxide emissions than gasoline vehicles. The higher initial emissions stem from the energy-intensive production and manufacturing processes that go into mining lithium for EV batteries, according to the research. Previous studies have also shown that battery production is a dirty process and harmful to the environment and communities, leading many to be skeptical about the benefits of switching to electric. But the new analysis says that after the second year, EVs lead to fewer cumulative CO2 emissions compared to gasoline vehicles. Part of that is due to a drop in emissions from driving more EVs. But with higher rates of adoption, the study also said there would be a need for more electricity production, which would potentially boost the use of more energy sources typically associated with lower emissions, such as solar and wind power. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Here are today's five NEW topics on climate & clean energy, startup investment, AI for entrepreneurs, and mindfulness in leadership:1.

WWJ auto analyst John McElroy reports automakers need to be careful about how they handle a change in emissions standards.

Buildings consume 39% of United States total energy whilst HVAC professionals face constant pressure balancing energy efficiency against occupant health and comfort despite these fields often conflicting in design priorities.Professor Stefano Schiavon from UC Berkeley, global leader in thermal comfort with over 15,154 research citations, explains why HVAC systems exist primarily to protect people and create healthy comfortable spaces rather than save energy, how particulate matter sensors throughout buildings enable better control decisions, why furnace fan only mode during wildfires provides automatic air cleaning using existing equipment, and how UC Berkeley's 25 year occupant satisfaction database reveals only 40% of people feel satisfied with thermal environment despite 80% satisfaction targets.With expertise spanning personal environmental controls, radiant heating cooling systems and post occupancy evaluation research methods, Professor Schiavon shares practical solutions including smart thermostat automation connecting outdoor sensor networks and why turning systems off when leaving represents simplest most actionable energy saving advice alongside proper professional maintenance servicing. THINGS WE SPOKE ABOUTHVAC systems designed protect people create healthy spacesParticulate sensors both intake throughout building enable decisionsFurnace fan only mode wildfires recirculates large airForty percent thermal satisfaction versus eighty percent targetsTurn systems off leaving professional maintenance simple adviceGUEST DETAILS Professor Stefano Schiavon is Professor of Architecture and Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Berkeley, leading expert in building science researching how to reduce building energy consumption (39% US total energy use) whilst ensuring occupant health, happiness and productivity through improved indoor environmental quality. Key leader at Center for Environmental Design Research running Berkeley's advanced MS and PhD programmes in Building Science, he is recognised worldwide for thermal comfort and indoor air quality expertise focusing on practical low energy solutions including personal environmental controls, radiant heating cooling systems and new ventilation methods. Using detailed lab experiments, advanced computer simulations and real world post occupancy evaluation surveys, his research has earned 15,154 citations with h-index of 61, winning ASHRAE Ralph Nevins Award with findings reported by Wall Street Journal and CNN.Connect with Professor Schiavon:Website: https://ce.berkeley.edu/people/faculty/schiavonLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefanoschiavon/Center for Environmental Design Research, UC BerkeleyMORE INFORMATIONThere is also a wealth of industry information on air quality and how to improve it on our website at camfil.comLet's Talk Clean Air is produced for Camfil by DustPod.ioQUOTESWe are not designing HVAC systems with the aim to save energy. We are there to protect people, to create spaces that are healthy and comfortable. If we compromise on the air quality outside is polluted, we bring outside air in. If we bring those pollutants inside, we're going to damage people. - Professor Stefano SchiavonIf we can introduce that technology that allows us to ventilate, to heat, cool, to provide light only where people are, then we could save a substantial amount of energy. - Professor Stefano SchiavonThe main reason is that people do not have a good sense of air quality. The fact that we don't see air, we don't properly perceive it, then there is a higher chance that we don't spend enough time and attention. That's why focusing on regulation for air quality is probably the most important aspect." - Professor Stefano SchiavonKEYWORDS#EnergyEfficiency #OccupantHealth #ThermalComfort #IndoorAirQuality #HVACDesign

Last week, the government announced that they would not be making changes to the way we calculate our emissions targets according to the advice of the Climate Change Commission. One change that was rejected was the inclusion of international shipping and aviation emissions; the flying and shipping that is so key to New Zealand's economy, through tourism and elsewhere, is excluded from our emissions targets, despite being a significant chunk of our emissions. This means, however, that in the face of our Paris Agreement commitments, the Government has opted to keep working with an incomplete picture of our economies emissions. Monday Wire Producer Alex spoke to Professor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Lisa Ellis, about these emissions, and what this rejection means for how we present ourselves and neighbours and a member of the international community.

When we think of harmful emissions, we think it's fair to say most of us picture clogged motorways not busy hospitals. But environmental damage from anaesthetic gases is a thing; one hospital with 15 operating theatres will emit the equivalent to driving two million kilometres in a petrol-powered car. It's a problem that saw an Auckland University professor leap into action, inventing a device that captures almost all of the gases released during surgery. That device has just had a successful trial - for more about this Professor Saeid Baroutian chats to Jesse.

The COP30 climate talks in Belem wrapped up over the weekend, and reactions to the outcome were sharply divided. Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC, said “climate cooperation is still alive…we're undeniably still in it and we are fighting back.” Others said the COP had been another failure, with a final statement that amounted to “a form of climate denial”.To make sense of what really happened at COP30, and where the talks leave the global effort on climate change, host Ed Crooks is joined by three regular Energy Gang contributors who have been following the negotiations closely. Amy Harder is the national energy correspondent at the news service Axios, Lisa Jacobson is the president of the Business Council for Sustainable Energy, and Simon Evans is deputy editor of the website Carbon Brief. Together they discuss the arguments over COP30's statement on fossil fuels, the rise of climate adaptation as a key priority, and hopes for increasing flows of capital to lower-income countries.A pledge to triple adaptation finance for developing countries by 2035 is attracting a lot of scrutiny. Lower-income countries are pushing for clear plans for delivery, not just vague aspirations. What could those plans look like? Another key issue is China's complicated role in the energy transition. It is leading the way in manufacturing and deploying low-carbon energy technologies. But it is still adding coal-fired generation capacity at a rapid pace. Does it make sense to see China as a climate leader?It is a complex picture. The world is still off track for the Paris Agreement's climate goals, even after the latest round of country pledges on emissions, known as Nationally Determined Contributions. But solar, wind and storage are still on declining cost trends, and are making significant progress in many countries.Finally, Ed speaks with Gianpiero Nacci, who's Managing Director for Climate Strategy and Delivery at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, for a focused discussion on climate finance. Gianpiero explains why multilateral development banks such as the EBRD are being asked to do more, what makes adaptation harder to fund than mitigation, and what the new COP30 to COP31 roadmap means for climate finance, as focus shifts to next year's meeting, which will be held in Turkey a year from now.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Join Jim and Greg for a special Friday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into stories that didn't quite make the cut for full martinis in recent weeks but still deserve attention. Jim examines the persistent challenges of inflation and America's skyrocketing debt, while Greg highlights a major Trump victory at the United Nations and new signs that one expected 2028 Democrat contender may be bowing out before the race begins. Then they get a little but more on the lighter side for their final martinis.First, Jim notes that while inflation is much more under control than during the Biden administration, it's still stubbornly at or around three percent year-over-year most months and it's still making many Americans sweat. Greg focuses on the Trump administration leading the charge to stop a United Nations carbon emissions tax on shipping. Greg cheers the latest win in blocking the left's green agenda. Jim adds another point that's even bigger than the issue at hand.Next, Jim shudders as the national debt officially soars beyond the $38 trillion mark and he's especially horrified at how fast the debt is growing. Meanwhile, Greg points out recent comments from Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer suggesting she may not run for president in 2028. That would be good news given Whitmer's terrible record as governor.Finally, Jim explains how the NFL's desire to reach younger fans could soon lead to a significant drop in viewership. Greg wonders if there is any integrity left in competition after another cheating scandal rocks a world championship.Please visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.

The story we tell about climate change is mostly a story about loss. But look to the data, and that story starts to fall apart. Emissions are peaking in key sectors. Clean energy is scaling faster than anyone predicted. Real progress is happening. It's just not happening in the way we imagine it. Sean's guest today is Hannah Ritchie, Deputy Editor at Our World in Data and author of Clearing the Air: A Hopeful Guide to Solving Climate Change. They discuss why our picture of the planet is so distorted, why despair can be as dangerous as denial, and what a truly energy-abundant, livable future could look like.
