Podcasts about fossil fuels

This week, thousands of environmentalists gathered in New York City calling for the US to do more to address climate change. A common part of these protests and others like them.. is a call to stop subsidizing fossil fuels... and invest in renewables instead. Phil Rossetti from the R Street Institue breaks down how much we're really spending on fossil fuels, and it's not much.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An al Jazeera podcast has been looking into stories of environmental activists using the courts in the US and abroad to hold their governments to their carbon emissions commitments. On Today's Show:Amanda Burrell, executive producer and correspondent of Al Jazeera English's series earthrise, explains how activists are turning to the legal system to achieve climate-related goals, and reflects on climate solutions more broadly.

One year after the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, which Big Green groups hailed as a 'climate justice bill,' the truth is surfacing that this legislation is lining the pockets of the fossil fuel industry to the detriment of frontline, especially Black and Indigenous, communities. Clearing the FOG speaks to Anthony Rogers-Wright, a national racial and climate justice advocate, about the ways Joe Biden and the Democrats are failing to address the climate crisis and Big Green groups are turning away from climate justice to embrace Green Capitalism. Rogers-Wright also describes better alternatives to the Big Greens and where people can focus their efforts effectively to struggle for a just and livable future.

Organizers estimated that 75,000 people participated in the End Fossil Fuels march in NYC on September 17 leading up to the United Nations Climate Summit. Protestors expressed displeasure about how slow world leaders, starting with President Biden, are moving to try to prevent climate collapse. We hear from Santosh Nandabalan of Food and Water Watch; Barry Pendegrass of the Religious Action Center for Reform Judaism; Eileen Ryan of Beyond Plastics Greater Boston; Nick Smith of Greenpeace; Corhonda Corly of Step Up Louisiana; John Amidon of Veterans for Peace; and Lyna Hinkel of 350NYC. By Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

This has been a big week for nations and companies ‘talking the talk' about reducing their emissions footprints, from updated commitments at the G20 summit, to a carbon-neutral product launch by Apple, and the family that owns the Mærsk shipping company creating its own clean shipping fuel supply chain with a green methanol subsidiary company. But which of these groups are also ‘walking the walk' and making real strides in accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels?

AP correspondent Jennifer King reports on Climate Fossil Fuel Protest-New York

This is the 4pm All Local update for September 17, 2023.

Duarte Geraldino has the evening's top stories from the WCBS 880 newsroom...

Nearly a hundred climate activists rallied at the Museum Of Modern Art in NYC on September 15 to call for the removal of board chair Marie-Josée Kravis because of her and her husband's Henry Kravis's ties to the fossil fuel industry. The protest comes before the major September 17 march to End Fossil Fuels in NYC prior to the UN climate summit. Henry Kravis, whose net worth is around $7.8bn, is a co-chief executive of KKR, one of the world's five largest private equity firms. It is heavily invested in fossil fuels in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe and the Middle East. KKR is behind the Coastal GasLink Pipeline being built through Wet'suwet'en territory in Canada. We start off by hearing from some of the Hereditary chiefs from Canada. We later hear among others from Roni Zahavi-Brunner of Planet over Profits and Michael Kink of Strong Economy for all. We then here again from Roni after several dozen activists occupied and shut down MOMA. By Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Alight is a company riding the solar-coaster and enjoying the heights.In November 2021, David Banmiller sat down with Harald Overholm, co-founder and CEO of Alight. The focus of that discussion was on the emergence in popularity of Power-Purchase Agreements, in the solar sector. Alight, as one of the biggest providers in the Nordics, was looking to continue expansion throughout Europe. Since then, there's been exponential growth and evolution in solar, and the way businesses and homes source that energy.In November 2022, Alight raised about €150 million to expand their operations. This was a major milestone for the relatively small company at the time. Managing to secure equity in the market, they worked with various partners, ultimately partnering with an infrastructure fund, DIF. DIF, being one of the leading mid-market infra funds specializing in renewables, was instrumental in driving the company to expand its team and strategically take control of certain projects.Alight's key play was transitioning their role from being developers to becoming an independent power producer. As a PPA, Alight gained the ability to select which projects to develop, devise strategies to monetize them, and ultimately derive profit. This significant shift has been a cornerstone of their recent progress.The solar industry, as it expands quickly, provides opportunities, but it also presents potential obstacles. A primary concern, as Harald explores with David, is the heavy reliance on China for polysilicon production, a foundational component of solar cells. This poses potential supply chain risk, fuelling the argument for diversifying polysilicon production.While challenges might lie ahead, the surge of interest from investors, the potential of new enhancing technologies, and the increasingly favourable view of solar power are a key part of the energy transition that keeps the industry optimistic.The key to sustained success lies in the ability of companies like Alight to ride the high times and the low times. With the right balance of financial backing, strategy, and a focused vision, solar energy companies are poised to illuminate the path towards a greener future.

Fifteen years after American International Group Inc. (AIG) nearly failed due to reckless financial practices, forcing the federal government to respond with a $182 billion bailout, climate protesters on September 14 rallied at the company's headquarters in Manhattan to call on them end its risky underwriting and investments in fossil fuels. We hear first from speakers at the rally, including Rick Morris Public Citizen's Climate Program followed by Alice Nascimento of NY Community for Change, and Bekah Hinojosa of South Texas Environmental Justice Network. We then have interviews with Jonathon Westin of the Climate Organizing Hub and then Rick again. The event was part of the Wave of Action leading up to the September 17 march in NYC to End Fossil Fuels

The Head of the International Energy Agency has made a bold prediction about fossil fuels. The Last Call panel breaks down why the path may be more difficult than some realize.

The IEA says we are at  the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era. They now say peak demand will occur before 2030! Canada's natural resources minister has declared that Canada's unprecedented forest fire season may continue into the winter. A strike is looming in America's auto industry as we reach a critical transition point in the switch to electric vehicles.

We hear from people in California whose home insurers have left them in the lurch as weather extremes intensify in the state, and talk to an expert on disaster risk and adaptation about what we need to help protect our homes against the inevitable. And from high up in the Austrian alps, we get a reality check from climate scientists about the future of our alpine glaciers.

The necessary transition away from fossil fuels toward clean energy can be extremely disruptive for people and communities reliant on fossil fuel plants and mines for jobs. How can the power generators support these communities and achieve a just transition to a cleaner energy future? In the latest episode of the Sustainability Matters podcast, host Bruno Sarda, and Principal at [please mention the specific legal entity name] and Shannon Roberts, CCaSS Power and Utilities Leader at [please mention the specific legal entity name], interview Sandy Nessing, Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer at American Electric Power (AEP) about how the company is developing a new model for a just energy transition.   Nessing points out that the current economy is heavily fossil fuel-dependent, so the green energy transition has to be done thoughtfully to avoid severe social and economic risks. That's why people reliant on the plants and communities built around them should be considered when driving the energy transition. Nessing shares an example of AEP's Pirkey Plant in the US, which is in the process of being decommissioned. She gives listeners insights into how AEP created a transition task force and engaged with community leaders to help mitigate the impact on the local people. Both Roberts and Nessing agree that power plants form their own unique social and economic ecosystems around them, and a proper, just transition requires thoughtful intention and may take a long time. Hence, they stress the importance of early planning, which includes not only engagement and collaboration with communities, but also retaining and leveraging partnerships with stakeholders in the company's value chain. Key takeaways include: The transition to cleaner power generation should involve supporting communities dependent on the fossil fuel industry. Green energy transition impacts people not just in the industry itself, but also those in the supply chain and regional economy. Engaging with leaders from every area of the community is vital: from local politicians to school superintendents. The top priority of a just transition should be to keep people, taxes and jobs within the same region. Planning ahead is vital to allow time for a proper just transition in full collaboration with local communities. © 2023 Ernst & Young LLP

Laws are being passed that levy life-altering prison sentences and fines on protestors arrested near anything deemed “critical infrastructure,” which is defined so broadly it's hard to find a public space that wouldn't be near it anymore. Corporations are suing protestors and NGOs, comparing protest to organized crime. Governments are growing increasingly comfortable branding environmental protestors as “domestic terrorists” or instruments of “foreign influence,” and going after the nonprofit status of environmental nonprofits. And so far the media is largely participating in the rhetorical “othering” of protestors, opting in most cases to focus on the disruption that protest causes rather than the change it seeks, and to marginalize activists. In this print and audio series we'll take an in-depth look at how climate protest has evolved in recent years, where this backlash is coming from, how it's grown so quickly, and what it feels like to be someone who's concerned enough about the future of humanity to join a protest, only to find themselves facing police violence and several years in jail. We've worked with reporters on almost every continent to cover this trend from as many angles as possible and trace how particular tactics and ideas have spread across borders. The result is more than two dozen print and audio stories that we'll be releasing over the next several months.

Why are fossil fuel lobbyists also allowed to work for communities, schools, businesses, and nonprofit organizations being harmed by the climate crisis without declaring their conflict of interest? Why divestment from fossil fuels should include divesting from lobbyists which play for both sides.James Browning is the founder of F Minus, a research and advocacy group that tracks the extent to which fossil fuel lobbyists also represent victims of the climate crisis. He is also a writer and game designer, and his novel The Fracking King was named one of the best 100 books of 2014 by Amazon. "The fossil fuel industry is very good at propaganda. They are also very good at targeting students and environmentalists. And they surround themselves with clients like museums, hospitals, charities, public schools, and all of these groups who are doing wonderful work at the local level and who aren't going complain about their oil and gas lobbyist work because they are bringing in money to them as well.”https://fminus.orgwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

On this episode of Cut to the Chase: we give some of the exciting updates in the world of science. As we approach the Fall of 2023, this year continues to demonstrate that perhaps the scientists still don't know everything there is to know about our planet. Amongst the exciting updates, Dr. Adam Leibovich, our regular contributor on all things physics, has been named Dean of the Arts and Science at University of Pittsburgh.   So major congratulations are in order for that achievement.  Dr. Leibovich goes through three topics in this update. First, we go through the recent experiment with the muon, a subatomic particle, and what that means for the Standard Model. The experiment was run and confirmed the existence of other types of matter and energy that exist in the universe that scientists have not accounted for. So now the search for what these particles, matter, and energy are will keep physicists busy and excited for the future. Second, the James Webb Space Telescope has passed its one year anniversary. Dr. Leibovich goes through a few of the exciting things that the telescope has observed, including the most detailed infrared image of the universe ever created. And third, the ongoing dream of trying to make nuclear fusion a reality reached a recent milestone at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory which used 192 lasers to ignite a fusion reaction that produced more energy than was used to trigger it.   Although the old saying that we are “30 years away” from making nuclear fusion commercially viable might still be the case, the milestone was significant as it replicated the achievement of creating more energy than was used to create the reaction. As Dr. Leibovich notes, in the world of science, replication of the experiment is always significant. Now, the world just needs a significant amount of funding and effort to help make nuclear fusion commercially viable. Scaled up nuclear fusion could be a solution towards getting the world off fossil fuels without having to mine the planet for materials to making EVS, solar and wind powered apparatus.

The Community Alliance for Direct Air Capture is using a non-traditional, community-first approach to potentially build a direct air capture hub in California's Central Valley – a fossil fuel hotspot with some of the nation's worst air quality. The alliance's strategy could become a model for other infrastructure projects critical to reaching the Biden administration's climate goals. POLITICO's Zack Colman breaks down the alliance's outreach efforts and the concerns from community members. Plus, the European Union is internally at odds over the topline greenhouse gas reduction target in its climate action plan ahead of this year's UN climate summit.    For more news on energy and the environment, subscribe to Power Switch, our free evening newsletter: https://www.politico.com/power-switch And for even deeper coverage and analysis, read our Morning Energy newsletter by subscribing to POLITICO Pro: https://subscriber.politicopro.com/newsletter-archive/morning-energy   Catherine Morehouse is an energy reporter for POLITICO.  Zack Colman covers climate change for POLITICO.  Nirmal Mulaikal is a POLITICO audio host-producer.  Kara Tabor is an audio producer for POLITICO.

Fossil Fuels have toxic impacts on our environment and health. Whether it's a normally operating fracking site poisoning surrounding communities, or a chemical fire at an oil refinery that poisons surrounding communities, people that live around fossil fuel sites are being exposed to carcinogens every single day. Not only are they paying the price, but their families will feel the impact for generations. Republican candidates like Vivek Ramaswamy push a climate hoax narrative, but there is no denying that climate change is real, climate change is here, and climate change is impacting the lives of billions every single day in a multitude of ways.

A new non-linear generator could be the answer to the risks of extreme weather.The prospect of an extended blackout during a heat wave is not only alarming, but a potential public health emergency. According to a recent report in the New York Times, 800,000 residents would require hospitalization if a major heatwave coincided with an extended blackout. The study, conducted by the Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, made clear the need for reliable energy storage. Advancements in technology are helping to mitigate the risk, with modern batteries improving their lifespans from two to four hours to a more robust eight to ten hours. Experts even predict reaching a milestone of 100-hour battery life in the near future. However, nature doesn't keep time like we do, and extreme weather can cause outages that outlast even these improved capabilities. So how can we protect our cities and ensure sustained power during these disruptions? The answer lies in developing technologies that transition long-duration storage capacities from hours to days and beyond. The Mainspring Linear Generator, developed by Mainspring Energy, a Silicon Valley-based startup, could be one of the answers to the storage challenge. David Banmiller is joined by Mainspring CEO Dr. Shannon Miller, a Stanford alumna with a PhD in mechanical engineering.The Mainspring Linear Generator has raised over $530 million in funding from cleantech investors and demonstrates the potential of innovative solutions in accelerating the shift towards a net-zero carbon grid. Shannon explains how it uses different types of fuel - including conventional types like natural gas - and clean fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia. To explore the wider trends and challenges around long-duration storage, Dr Melissa Lott also joins us on the Interchange this week. Melissa is Director of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University, and she talks about the risks of gaps in power access, energy cost spikes and reliability issues. One of the key changes seen in the storage market is the separation of storage and generation solutions. As fossil fuel-based generators wind down, finding reliable and sustainable alternatives to provide reliable power becomes increasingly important.Incentives and regulatory frameworks are integral to fostering the energy transition. Currently, however, specific types of storage, like electrochemical or thermal storage, are often prescribed in state mandates instead of leaving room for innovative alternatives.
