Send me a messageIn this episode of Climate Confident, I speak with Alice Chun, inventor of the world's first inflatable, origami-inspired solar light and founder of Solight Design. Alice shares how a career in material technology and a deeply personal experience with her son's asthma led her to tackle energy poverty, disaster relief, and carbon emissions with a single, deceptively simple product: the SolarPuff™.We discuss the staggering health and environmental toll of kerosene lighting, especially in off-grid and disaster-affected communities — and how collapsible, durable solar lanterns are not only cleaner and safer, but can also act as tools for education, safety, and psychological recovery.Alice walks us through the practical design choices (like sailcloth and origami folds) that make the lights lightweight, shippable, and long-lasting. She also unpacks her field experiences from Haiti to Ukraine, why she insists on personally delivering lights, and the complex balance of running a mission-driven company that also needs to survive commercially.Key takeaways:Why light access is essential for disaster resilience and safetyHow solar design can scale through beauty, durability, and functionThe unexpected link between solar tech and trauma recovery in childrenWhat business models can sustain social impact in climate techFor more, visit https://solight-design.com or head to climateconfidentpodcast.com.Support the showPodcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing supporters: Lorcan Sheehan Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Support the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

(Conversation recorded on October 30th, 2024)     Human consumption of fossil fuels - especially oil - is a topic filled with complexity, tension, and uncertainty. Understanding this issue requires accounting for a wide range of factors - from dynamic global markets and widely dispersed reserves to ongoing innovation and geopolitical conflicts. Attempting to navigate this intricate landscape is no easy task. But in the midst of these challenges, are there fundamental truths about the future of energy that experts can agree on? Today, Nate is joined by geologist and energy expert, Scott Tinker, to delve into the complexities of global oil supply and demand, the concept of peak oil, and the future possibilities of energy production and transition. Together, they explore the decline rates of oil reservoirs, the physics behind oil extraction, and the role of technology in oil production. Can nations strike a balance between energy security, geopolitical considerations, and the pursuit of a "clean" energy future? How solid are concepts like peak oil demand in a world still grappling with energy poverty? And perhaps most crucially, why is it essential to foster open dialogue and educate the public on these issues, so that we can all play an informed role in shaping our energy future?   About Scott Tinker: Dr. Scott W. Tinker is a global energy explorer and educator bringing industry, government, academia, and nongovernmental organizations together to address major societal challenges in energy, the environment, and the economy. Following a 17-year career in the energy industry, Scott spent 24 years as an Endowed Professor and Director of the 250-person Bureau of Economic Geology at UT Austin.

Energy poverty is sadly something that is more prevalent these days and people are facing the eat or heat conundrum. This could soon be a thing of the past as smart technology is being used to tackle energy poverty. Last year, PrepayPower, Tuath Housing Association, and EnergyCloud launched a successful pilot project in Dublin that provides free renewable energy to 26 residents. The project diverts surplus energy that would otherwise be wasted into powering heat pumps and other services in each home and showcases how smart technology can tackle energy poverty..  I recently spoke to Tracy Tuffin, Head of Residential Business, Prepay Power and Alan Wyley, CEO, EnergyCloud about this pilot project. Tracy and Alan talk about their backgrounds, how EnergyCloud partnered up with PrePayPower, smart technology, curtailment and more. More about EnergyCloud: EnergyCloud uses smart immersion controllers and diverted surplus energy that would otherwise be wasted into powering heat pumps and other services in each of the homes. The pilot project, which started last May, is the first partnership between an energy company, PrePayPower, and EnergyCloud. They estimate that over 600 kWh of free electricity was delivered to the residents , equivalent to 463 wash loads, 446 dishwasher cycles, or 512 electric showers.

Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// We listened to part one of a talk given by Palestinian scholar and theorist Abdaljawad Omar during the early October 2024 teach-in 'The Left's Problem with Palestine', co-convened by CUNY for Palestine and Grad Center for Palestine. In this talk, held in the lead up to the first anniversary of the Al Aqsa Flood operation of October 7th 2023, Omar critically analyses the Western left's reflexive condemnation of Palestinian resistance both on that date and more broadly, and the implications of this hasty disavowal for a genuine engagement with anticolonial struggle. We'll play part two next week, but you can watch the full talk and subsequent extended discussion between Omar and Jodi Dean here.// Content warning: this conversation touches on themes of transphobia, sexual assault (r*pe), and suicide.

Katie and Stacey speak about their experiences of transphobic violence while being incarcerated in men's prisons, their fight to access gender-affirming care, self-advocacy, and how the state tries to quash rehabilitation and second chances in the community. Listen back to the full set of conversations for our Trans Day of Audibility 2024 broadcast here.// Antipoverty Centre spokesperson Kristin O'Connell joined us to talk about the catastrophic impacts of energy poverty on low-income folks in so-called Australia. On Monday this week, Antipoverty Centre, Parents for Climate and Sweltering Cities launched their Stop The Bill Shock Campaign by delivering a $173 million energy bill to Origin Energy headquarters, with the figure representing the estimated cost to the company to wipe the slate of energy debt owed by the 98,000 Origin customers currently on a hardship program. The campaign is demanding an end to price gouging by Australian energy retailers and immediate debt forgiveness for consumers experiencing financial hardship in the face of over a decade of increasing energy poverty in the country. As Kristin mentioned during our chat, Antipoverty Centre are encouraging people to share their stories about energy poverty and difficulties with energy retailers here.//Ibi spoke with us about a fundraiser event running this Friday the 6th of December at Catalyst Social Centre raising money for Sisters Inside and mutual aid initiatives for people in Sudan and Palestine.

Researchers at the International Energy Research Centre (IERC), based at Tyndall National Institute, are leading research into the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to develop a deeper understanding of the complex factors impacting energy poverty. The project, entitled the Irish Energy Poverty Observatory (IREPO), aims to provide a unique platform that will enable research, development, and policymaking in this area. Energy poverty, where households cannot afford or access sufficient energy services, is influenced by various social, economic, and environmental factors. Existing approaches to understanding energy poverty are limited in their ability to capture all dimensions of the issue, relying heavily on income and expenditure metrics. IREPO aims to overcome these limitations with an innovative, data-driven approach. IREPO, led by Dr Fábio Silva and Dr Pádraig Lyons, is a collaboration between IERC, Professor Aoife Foley from the University of Manchester UK, Professor Patricia Kearney from UCC's School of Public Health and Non-Governmental Organisations who advocate for those experiencing energy poverty, The Wheel and South-East Energy Agency (SEEA). The development of the observatory will leverage from international best practice, and the approach can be used in other jurisdictions to provide similar insights. The project will integrate and synthesise data from an array of sources, including surveys, historical databases, and census data. AI and machine learning algorithms will underpin the development of tools to analyse the diverse dataset and scenarios that a comprehensive view of energy poverty would demand and help identify key factors and trends. The approach will assist policymakers and stakeholders in forming effective strategies and policies to alleviate energy poverty in the context of uncertain geopolitical situations and the urgent need to decarbonise societies throughout the world. Dr Fábio Silva, Senior Research Engineer at the IERC, said: "The development of the Irish Energy Poverty Observatory should provide a unique platform to improve policy actions and support research in this area." Dr Aoife Foley, University of Manchester, said: "Professor Patricia Kearney and I are very excited to work on this novel and world-leading interdisciplinary SEAI-funded project, with Dr Fabio Silva and Dr Padraig Lyons from the IERC, which will develop innovative approaches to analyse, and address the health, well-being, and economic impacts of climate change and Net Zero roadmaps on society to ensure effective and targeted solutions to guide, direct and inform decision-making for all public, private and citizen stakeholders." The project is funded by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI).

Pinergy, the energy transition company, has today announced a new partnership with EnergyCloud Ireland, aimed at deploying smart tech to minimise energy waste, and tackle energy poverty to power a fairer energy transition in Ireland. Through this collaboration, the surplus renewable energy generated will be distributed to fuel-poor households via EnergyCloud, which will provide a free tank of hot water. EnergyCloud Ireland is a social enterprise company that works with utilities and wind energy producers to divert unused renewable energy to Irish homes experiencing fuel poverty. Fuel poverty impacts over 550,000 households every day in Ireland, yet since 2018 according to EirGrid, well over 5,000 GWh of zero-carbon energy from wind generation went unused and ultimately wasted. EnergyCloud's mission is to create solutions to divert surplus renewable energy, which would otherwise be wasted, to Irish homes, with a primary focus on those in fuel poverty. This partnership aligns Pinergy's desire to help customers understand their consumption to reduce energy waste today for a better energy future for all. Commenting on the partnership, Enda Gunnell, CEO of Pinergy, said, "At Pinergy, we are on a mission to power energy transition in Ireland and support the move towards cheaper renewable energy. However, we are committed to ensuring that the inevitable energy transition is fair for all in society and that any waste of precious renewable energy is minimised. Our partnership with EnergyCloud can help us achieve these goals and enable us to play a small part in addressing energy poverty." Participating households are equipped with EnergyCloud-enabled smart technology, which allows surplus and otherwise wasted renewable energy to be used to heat immersion tanks at no cost to the household occupants. John Mullins, Chair of EnergyCloud said: "This partnership between EnergyCloud Ireland and Pinergy commenced a number of months ago and already families are benefiting from the scheme. EnergyCloud works with partners to fulfil our mission of using surplus renewable energy to help tackle fuel poverty. For the families involved, this is really great news and illustrates how we can collectively use smart technology to lessen the impact of fuel poverty. EnergyCloud is proud to partner with Pinergy as part of their commitment to power the energy transition and support greater use of renewable energy in Ireland."

Energy poverty is real. But it can be cured. Sit back and enjoy a conversation with one of the world's leading experts in ending energy poverty. NJ Ayuk is the executive chairman of the African Energy Chamber, and he is a phenomenal author and industry-leading expert on a mission to eliminate energy poverty.I had an absolute blast, and Cyrus Brooks, RBAC, was on the panel. His passion and energy experience is phenomenal. NJ, Cyrus, and I covered the key issues in Africa but only scratched the surface of some of the solutions.The West has not always had Africa's best interest at heart, and it is time for Africa to put Africa first. If done correctly, the West could have great new markets for goods and services. Africa could get the manufacturing and technical knowledge transfer while shipping completed goods rather than just raw materials.Check out NJ's book A Just Transition: Making Energy Poverty History with an Energy Mix.

Ep 480 - The Impact of Energy Poverty Guest:  Jock Finlayson By Stuart McNish   Energy poverty, according to the Canadian Urban Sustainability Practitioners, refers to “the experience of households or communities that struggle to heat their homes and power their lights and appliances” – a reality that is playing itself out in the Maritime provinces of Canada, and it has forced the hand of the Prime Minister to offer financial relief.   In his blog, “The Honest Broker,” Roger Pielke Jr. wrote of the “Iron Law of Climate Policy,” a law that demonstrates that when push comes to shove, governments will wilt under pressure from voter's wallets. “It is,” Pielke says, “a boundary condition.”   The theory of “using higher-priced energy as a tool to accelerate decarbonization makes perfect sense – in bloodless computer models.” Noted economist Jock Finlayson agrees and adds, “In the real world, it is a theory that does not survive contact with the harsh financial realities it imposes on most people.”    We invited Jock Finlayson to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the cost of implementing policies that fail to meet their objectives and the hardship they incur.

Many people across the country struggle to make ends meet. In many cases, that means they experience energy poverty: they can't afford to use energy when they need to, if at all. At the same time, we are trying to address climate change and become more resilient. What if we could address both concerns at the same time? Energize Bridgewater was the winner of the 2019 Smart Cities Challenge. The program aims to identify where energy inefficiencies are in homes and find solutions to improve that efficiency, making the Town of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, better prepared for our changing climate, and helping vulnerable residents who experience energy poverty and struggle to afford power. We talk to Bridgewater's Senior Energy Manager Asad Hussein and planner Meghan Doucette about the success of the program, and its future goals.

According to U.S. Oil & Gas President Tim Stewart, Biden's destructive energy policies are "Not just incompetent, they're intentional." He joined AMAC CEO Rebecca Weber for a deep dive into the state of American energy, particularly the impact both the Biden administration and now the war in Israel has had on costs. Stewart says the Biden administration is clearly making decisions for political reasons as opposed to practicality. This is evidenced by Biden's attack on U.S. oil and gas production to please the anti fossil fuel movement while subsequently leaning on Venezuela for oil importation. He does this despite Venezuela's even less environmentally friendly method of production compared to the United States method, which operates under the cleanest procedure anywhere in the world.

In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Chéri Smith, President and CEO of the The Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy. ATCE is an Indigenous-led nonprofit that supports the self-determined efforts of Native American tribes transitioning to a clean energy future. It was founded in 2016 by Chéri, and formerly known as the Indigenous Energy Initiative (IEI).Chéri also serves as an Advisor to the Yale School of Business and the Environment, served as an Advisory Board member for the Masters in Renewable Energy degree program at Penn State, and as a Buffalo & Erie County, NY Workforce Investment Board Director. She is an MIT Indigenous Communities Fellow, a Cordes Fellow, and a Climate Leader, trained by former Vice President, Al Gore.She has 20+ years of experience in senior leadership and consulting roles with organizations including Tesla/SolarCity, U.S. Department of Energy, Interstate Renewable Energy Council, American Council on Renewable Energy, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, and Boston University.She and Ted discuss her background, born and raised in the Boston area, descended through both of her parents, from the Mi'kmaq nation of Northern Maine and the Canadian Maritimes. They also discuss the evolution of Indigenous Energy Initiative, from its grassroots origins to becoming the Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy. With the passing of the IRA, The Alliance is providing the critical technical and financial assistance and wrap-around services tribes are currently seeking in order to build their own capacity – to access and manage the historic amounts of federal energy infrastructure and climate funding, and to ensure these historic investments are implemented in an equitable and just way. As a 25-year veteran of the renewable energy sector, Chéri is leveraging her deep experience and relationships to support tribes in their self-determined pursuit of renewable energy as a means to diminish poverty, mitigate climate change, and restore true sovereignty and hope.

All across the globe, temperatures are rising, and thanks to the most recent report published by the International Panel on Climate Change and recent U.N. projections, we know that even if we do make sweeping cuts to emissions, we're still on course for a catastrophic temperature rise of 2.7 degrees Celsius by the year 2100. That means, the record-breaking floods, droughts, storms, wildfires, and heatwaves we're currently seeing, or for many of us, directly experiencing, are just the beginning. Global warming is not just some distant thing to worry about in the future — it's here. Right now. Although cataclysmic events like hurricanes and wildfires tend to monopolize most of the headlines on climate change, as paltry as it is to begin with, climate news coverage hardly ever focuses on the less flashy impacts. Things like heatwaves, for example, might draw some attention if they're record-shattering — but oftentimes, the impacts of long-lasting higher temperatures are not covered in any depth by mainstream news outlets. In this episode of The Response, we're going to focus on an issue that isn't talked about hardly enough: energy poverty. When temperatures rise to the point where they become dangerous, what happens to people who can't escape the heat? As temperatures continue to soar and extreme heatwaves become the norm, a lack of resources to stay cool — so, having access to things like air conditioning, for example, — is a huge issue across the world. This is especially true in southern Europe, a region that experienced a series of record-breaking, climate-fueled heatwaves this past summer.

When you think of energy poverty, you probably think of rural areas far off the grid or halfway across the world. However, the often unseen reality is that there are people right here in the U.S., in our own communities, who struggle to keep the lights on in the face of surging energy prices.   In this episode, we engage in a panel-style discussion with returning guest Scott Tomlinon, CEO and Founder of Choir Power; Jade Davis, board member of Choir and Senior Vice President of Energy Policy at the Port of Cleveland; and David J. Neff, serial entrepreneur and partner at venture capital firm Ecliptic capital. Our guests bring together a unique mix of perspectives and experiences to tackle energy poverty from three main lenses: technology, policy, and investment.   Tune in for an engaging conversation on the causes of energy poverty and the solutions that will solve it.   Keynotes: -The prevalence of energy poverty both domestically and abroad -The side effects of energy poverty on health, education, and the economy -How technology, policy, and investment can merge to end energy poverty for good -The most impactful avenues to reduce energy poverty And follow us on: Newsletter: https://www.energy-terminal.com/newsletter-signup LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/energy-terminal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/energyterminal/

The Biden Administration has taken the US Oil and Gas Industry from a position of Global Dominance to energy poverty falling weak to foreign nations. Rebecca invited Tim Stewart, President of US Oil and Gas Association to discuss their latest initiative Handsoffmystove.com. Lawmakers in New York, California and other liberal states across the nation are moving to ban gas appliances and the unrealistic expectation of migrating to electric, considering the lack of infrastructure. Stewart, a 30 year veteran in the industry, explains how this Administration is intentionally crippling the American economy, pushing us to rely more heavily on OPEC and other oil and gas producers around the world. Leave it to the Biden Administration to invade your home, tune in to learn how you can support the Oil and Gas industry!

UpEnergy Group Cofounders Alex Rau and Matt Evans explain how UpEnergy is using ICE's carbon markets to drive the energy transition, save lives, and reduce energy poverty. As they explain, the auction carbon credits based on UpEnergy's Improved Cookstove Program in Uganda is just one of the innovative ways to bring the power of the global capital markets to bear on the challenges faced by climate change.  Since its founding in 2011, UpEnergy has built 16 projects that leverage climate finance to fight energy poverty and, as we hear from Matt and Alex, they're just getting started.

New research looks into the coping mechanisms that families use to navigate energy insecurity, as a guide for policy-based solutions. --- The number of American households experiencing energy insecurity spiked during the COVID pandemic in 2020, as growing unemployment and falling incomes made it difficult for more households to balance utility bills with other financial demands. Yet the rising incidence of energy insecurity, and the often short-term focus of assistance to keep families financially afloat, belies the reality that energy insecurity is often a chronic challenge that predates acute financial crises, and persists long after. Sanya Carley, director of the Energy Justice Lab at Indiana University's O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, discusses the nature of household energy insecurity, and novel research into the coping mechanisms that families experiencing energy insecurity use to juggle often competing needs of energy, food, and healthcare. Carley also talks about existing public policy measures to address energy insecurity, and the need for new types of data to underpin effective policy action. Sanya Carley is director of the Energy Justice Lab at Indiana University's O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and a visiting scholar at the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy at the University of Pennsylvania.

Our lives depend on curbing climate change, but so many priorities seem to be in competition. What's the most urgent thing humanity can do right now? Social entrepreneur James Irungu Mwangi tells us why Africa could be the ideal home for scaling the latest and most ambitious climate technologies -- including in places like Kenya's Hell's Gate National Park, which could become part of what he calls the "Great Carbon Valley."

On April 22nd, 2022 the world will be celebrating the 52nd annual “Earth Day”. Does Earth Day serve any useful purpose? How can we utilize the celebration of Earth Day for good? How is Earth day viewed by the world today, and how does this celebration push us closer to a low carbon life? In today's special episode of the Energy Gang, the conversation focuses on solutions and recent positive findings from the IPCC report. Making up the “Gang” this week is returning guest Emily Chasan, who is the Director of Communications at Generate Capital, the green investment firm. Also, another returning guest, Dr. Destenie Nock, an Assistant Professor of Engineering and Public Policy and Civil and Engineering at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh. As always, our host Ed Crooks, Vice-Chair of the Americas at Wood Mackenzie leads the conversation. Keeping the positive theme in observance of Earth Day, the gang discusses the recent IPCC report and some positive findings that were reported. Earlier this month, the 6th cycle working report gives a clear view to the current state of our knowledge of climate science. The good news, though, is that even the more demanding goal of the Paris agreement – limiting global warming to just 1.5 degrees – is not out of sight.The last talking point in the episode is the topic of Energy Poverty, and what it currently looks like in today's climate. The gang discusses how energy poverty is a massive problem today and explores the dangers of how addressing climate change, could make things worse. Destenie leads the conversation on this topic and shares some of her key findings from her research and describes to the gang what an Energy Equity Gap is. This week's episode is focused on solutions and has an optimistic tone.
