Podcasts about Energy crisis

With the push for green energy, governments around the world have pushed for (and passed) subsidies for so-called “renewable” energy like wind and solar. The US passed large subsidies of this kind under the Biden Administration's Inflation Reduction Act, passed in 2022. But these policies do not have the effect of creating long-term stability in […]

Another swing and a miss. Contact Energy wanted to build a wind farm in Southland. They have been turned down. They are not the first and they will not be the last. Close to $300 million and hundreds of jobs are now not happening because of it. Also, the need to build 15GW of additional capacity in the next 25 years will not be happening either. So far, we have built less than 3GW. We are entering yet another winter where it is touch and go on power supply. The Minister has been busy wagging his finger at the gentailers. The climate campaigners bark on about the role of renewables, yet we continue to import record amounts of coal to cover the gap. We have cut a deal to keep Huntly going ever longer because the renewable dream is getting further and further away. Renewables may or may not be the answer to our problems at all. The simple truth about water, sun, and wind is they are beyond our control. Coal and nuclear isn't. But we seem to insist renewables are what we want to do, and yet we don't. Nimbyism will kill us. We seem happy to be shocked every year at the coal pile and we seem to be happy to be unhappy at the idea we don't have enough power to get us through a winter. The industry tells us they are investing in wind and solar. But are they? How many get turned down vs how many actually get the go ahead? Are we actually progressing, or taking a step forward and a step back? Here is the ultimate irony: there's been a lot said about this Government's fast track law. Their fast track law is actually just an extension, or an amendment, of the old fast track law, which Labour produced during Covid. Under that fast track law this wind project got turned down. So, is a “no” fast tracking? Or no tracking? If you can't get a wind farm through under fast track, are we actually into solving issues or not? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Be honest—how many times have you told yourself, I just need to push through?You start the day feeling fine—or at least, good enough to handle business. But by mid-afternoon, the brain fog hits, your energy tanks, and you're running on caffeine and willpower just to make it to the finish line.By the time you get home? You're done. The gym isn't happening. Cooking sounds like a chore. You barely have the energy to be present, let alone productive.And this? This is just how life feels now.But what if it didn't have to?In today's episode, we're breaking down exactly why this keeps happening (hint: it's not just “getting older”) and how to finally get your energy back—without extreme diets, more caffeine, or just “trying harder.”Because you already know what exhaustion feels like.Maybe it's time to find out what unstoppable feels like.

In this episode of Energy News Beat - Conversation in Energy, Stuart Turley and guest Mike Umbro break down California's mounting energy crisis, highlighting how the state's overreliance on imported oil and flawed renewable policies—compounded by a cumbersome permitting process—are driving up costs and destabilizing the grid. They advocate for innovative, local solutions, such as transforming mature oil fields into synthetic geothermal power plants, to secure affordable energy, boost economic growth, and address the broader national energy emergency.I have always loved having Mike on my podcasts; he is a real friend of the show. Please reach out to him on his LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikeumbro/Thank you, Mike, and I loved your comment about how President Trump needs to help fix California. As it is the largest economy, it will make a significant impact on the total numbers for inflation and lower prices. I was in the camp of let's just let California slide off into the ocean, but Mike is right: California is worth fighting for. It will just take a lot of hard work.

Norway's energy sector is at the centre of a dramatic political storm. With an election looming in September, Finance minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum pulled his Centre Party out of the government, warning of greater dependence on what he calls Europe's “dysfunctional” electricity market. But political uncertainty is not the only challenge — Norway faces a growing supply deficit, AI-driven demand spikes from data centres, and increasing hurdles in building new capacity. This week, the Montel Weekly Podcast comes to you from Oslo at the Pareto Securities Power & Renewable Energy Conference. Montel's Petter Udland sets the scene before we hear from Lars Ove Skorpen, Director Power & Renewable Energy at Pareto Securities. We discuss the government crisis over the EU's 4th Energy Package, the impact of AI and DeepSeek on Norway's power demand, the challenges of expanding interconnectors, and why investment in new capacity is not keeping up with demand. Host: Richard Sverrisson - Editor-in-Chief, Montel. Guests: Lars Ove Skorpen - Director Power & Renewable Energy, Pareto Securities Petter Udland, Montel journalist, Oslo

Nigeria's energy crisis has persisted for decades. Africa's largest country is largely powered by fuel generators. They're noisy, dirty, and bad for the environment. But they also provide power to millions of people in a country with an unreliable grid. The removal of Nigeria's long-standing fuel subsidy in 2023 caused the price of fuel to quadruple, leaving Nigerian consumers searching for options. And many are going solar. So while Nigeria's transition to solar power has largely been driven by economic considerations, it has positive climate implications.But why is the grid so broken? How can it be fixed?

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2024 on Sunday 20 October at Church House, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION With concerns growing about potential blackouts on cold winter evenings with little wind, listen to this debate on what is happening to UK energy, particularly with the arrival of the new Labour government. The Labour government has set out an ambitious goal to decarbonise the UK's electricity supply by 2030. Labour's plan includes prioritising renewable energy sources like wind and solar power while reducing the nation's dependence on fossil fuels. In line with this, the government has indicated it may halt new licences for oil and gas exploration in the North Sea. The government also announced the creation of Great British Energy, a publicly funded body to invest in renewable energy. The energy secretary, Ed Miliband, claims these measures will make the UK's electricity supply greener, more secure and cheaper. However, there are plenty of commentators warning about the feasibility and impact of this strategy. Renewable energy, while crucial to achieving decarbonisation, is notoriously unpredictable. The sun doesn't always shine, and the wind doesn't always blow, leading to concerns about the reliability of the energy supply – unless renewables are backed up in some way, whether by gas-powered plants, rising imports or expensive storage. Far from being cheaper than fossil fuels, critics note, renewable energy continues to need substantial subsidies, which are even more glaring as the price of gas has returned to more normal levels following the energy-price crisis of recent years. Moreover, most of the UK's nuclear power stations, which have long provided a steady and reliable source of low-carbon electricity, are set to close between 2026 and 2030. Replacements for them are still a long way off, with Hinkley Point C years behind target and Sizewell C still tied up in paperwork and court cases. The previous government's plan to produce 24 gigawatts (GW) of power from nuclear sources by 2050 – up from 6 GW now – seems increasingly over-optimistic. Indeed, Labour already seems to be getting cold feet on a proposed nuclear-power plant in north Wales. Will Labour's energy strategy lead to a cheaper, more secure electricity supply, as it claims? Or are we on the brink of an energy crisis, with higher costs and increased vulnerability to blackouts? Are higher bills a price worth paying to tackle climate change or, when global emissions are still climbing, a pointless sacrifice of British jobs and living standards?

New Zealand's energy sector is hoping Prime Minister Luxon's Cabinet reshuffle will lead to potential solutions to the country's energy crisis. Yesterday's shake-up resulted in Climate Change Minister Simon Watts picking up the energy portfolio from Simeon Brown.

As tensions rise between Israel and Iran, the global energy market is feeling the strain. Oil prices have jumped from $72 to $78 per barrel, and any further escalation could disrupt key producers like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, pushing prices even higher. With Israel attempting to provoke Iran into a wider conflict, the U.S. is caught in a delicate balancing act, trying to avoid being drawn in while managing domestic inflation and rising gas prices. For Ireland, already suffering from the highest energy costs in Europe, this adds a dangerous layer of pressure. With 80% of its energy imported and an overburdened grid, the country is highly vulnerable to global shocks. Despite Ireland's potential for wind and wave energy, slow adoption of renewables leaves households and businesses exposed to soaring costs. This geopolitical turmoil could deepen Ireland's energy crisis, highlighting the urgent need for infrastructure upgrades and a more serious commitment to energy independence. The question remains whether Ireland will take decisive action or continue to bear the brunt of an unstable global market. Join the gang! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast.
