Click on the player above to listen to the podcast or read the transcript below.The national debt has soared over $34.6 trillion dollars positioning the U.S. as the record holder for the greatest national debt in human history. This monumental debt grows by approximately a trillion dollars every 100 days, signaling a potential crisis for our economy. But don't worry, our politicians have a solution — spend, and spend, and spend some more. What could possibly go wrong?Most of us work hard for our money. Then the government (federal, state, local, and special districts) takes a big chunk of our money from us, in order to spend it on what they feel are meaningful and worthwhile projects. In this episode of Big Sky Writer, I thought it would be instructive to see how the government has chosen to spend some of your money by looking at one project at a time. This episode is titled:Bye, Bye, KittyThe National Institute of Health (NIH) is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and serves as the nation's premier medical research agency. It is the largest source of funding for medical research worldwide.One project that was highlighted by critics way back in 2022, involved more than $770,000 (remember, that was your money) being given to the Pavlov Institute of Physiology in St. Petersburg, Russia.They wanted to study the “neuronal network over the spinal cord, so they came up with a nifty little experiment.They took 18 healthy cats, removed portions of their brain, implanted electrodes in their spines, then forced them to walk on a treadmill for spinal cord experiments. When the experiments were completed, the cats were killed and dissected.Some people were upset about the treatment of the cute kitties. Some were upset about sending $700,000 to a Russian group when the U.S. and Russia were on the verge of war. Some were upset because they felt the entire process was unethical, unproductive, and too secretive.I'm pretty sure no one asked you if you wanted your tax dollars spent this way. A government bureaucrat made the decision, and your money was spent.“Taxpayers shouldn't be forced to pay white coats in the Russian government to torture and kill cats in wasteful treadmill experiments.”Mackie Burr, Vice President of the White Coat Waste Project.This is just one very “small” expense for a government that spends trillions of dollars on a regular basis. You probably know, there here is an election coming up in a few months. Perhaps you ought to make it clear to your politicians (they sometimes actually listen to you during a campaign season) that you want them to stop spending.Resources“Federal Government Paid to Study Cats on Russian Treadmills” by Tristan Justice.

Can a couple trillion dollars feel small? Global investments in the energy transition – from the buildout of factories and power projects to project finance and government debt – hit nearly $1.8 trillion last year.  That's almost as big as the GDP of South Korea. It's nearly 20% more than the year before, and nearly eight times more than a decade ago. But even with those record levels of spending, we are astonishingly behind what's needed to stay on a net-zero trajectory this decade.  This week, we'll talk about what's growing, what's lagging, and what the trillion-dollar scale means at the ground level. Then, geoengineering is nudging closer to the mainstream of scientific and environmental discourse. Are we giving up, or just being realistic?

Today's episode features bold predictions from a compilation of 2023's best episodes. I asked leaders from diverse fields within the renewable energy sector to answer, looking as if from the future: What did we get right to meet our decarbonization and clean energy goals now that it's 2050?This compilation features the insights of Laura Pagliarulo(Solareit), Ardes Johnson(Meyer Burger), Christie Obiaya(Heliogen), Robert Piconi(Energy Vault), Aaron Halimi(Renewable Properties), Katherine Hamilton(38 North), Steven Zhu(Trina Solar), Andy McCarthy(RACV Solar), Billy Lee(Reunion) and Damian Beauchamp(8Rivers). Each was a featured guest on one of our Thursday executive deep-dives, and in this special episode I'm providing a synthesis of their collective answers to the key actions they believe are needed to achieve the aggressive decarbonization and clean energy goals necessary to avert climate disaster.One of the most consistent responses on the year was the imperative for increased battery storage to propel more renewables onto the grid by 2030. Technological advancements and a commitment to diversifying supply chains are other key drivers in deploying additional renewables. EVs and carbon capture technologies will also play an important role in reducing emissions and meeting climate goals.In tandem with tech innovation, achieving ambitious renewable targets demands a global collaboration, where every nation plays a significant role. To make these informed clean energy choices, decision-makers and communities must be equipped with the right education. Equally crucial is the cultivation of a 'green' workforce prepared to tackle ambitious targets head-on. Together, these narratives demonstrate the need for innovation, resilience, and unwavering determination to reach climate & energy goals by 2030 and beyond to 2050.I'd love to know what your takeaways were, as well as your favorite episodes on the year!Let's connect on Linkedin - I'm always looking for feedback: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nickalusIf you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.SunCast is presented by Sungrow, the world's most bankable inverter brand.SunCast is also supported by PVcase & Trina.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 650 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on:Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/nicomeoLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickalus

Canary Media and Post Script Media are hosting a live event at Greentown Labs in Somerville, Ma. on April 6. record a live episode of The Carbon Copy with some very special guests. Get your tickets today. In 2020, the top five Western oil & gas supermajors – ExxonMobil, BP, Shell, Chevron, and Total – saw combined losses of $76 billion. That was caused by the radical drop in energy consumption when Covid shut down the global economy. That year, BP CEO Bernard Looney called for a 40% cut in oil & gas production in a decade, and promised to invest billions of dollars each year into renewables. Two years later, thanks to a war waged by Russia that disrupted supply and a bounceback in global oil demand, high prices brought $200 billion in profits for those companies. BP just decided that it would invest billions more in oil & gas production, rather than make the drastic cuts it initially proposed. Shell is doing the same, expanding fossil fuel extraction while keeping clean energy investments flat. And even with windfall profits, clean energy only accounts for 5% of oil company capital expenditures globally. At one point, it seemed like there was a real shift happening in the sector. And now, with the global appetite for oil still growing, the allure of high profits is shifting investments back into extraction.  This week: how will this new boom time for oil and gas companies impact investments in clean energy? Plus, we'll take stock of some of the hottest emerging sectors, like hydrogen, virtual power plants, and critical minerals recycling.

America enters 2023 faced with two opposing realities: greenhouse gas emissions are going up, but the opportunity to slash those emissions has never been better. Heat-trapping gasses in the U.S. rose again last year, according to the Rhodium Group. Even though renewables outpaced coal on the grid, emissions climbed in the buildings, heavy industry, and transportation sectors. Passage of the Inflation Reduction Act could reverse that trend over the next decade. The law, which was the result of years of political pressure and behind-the-scenes dealmaking, devotes nearly $370 billion to domestic clean energy deployment. It could cut emissions by 40% by 2030. But now the real work begins. On this week's episode of The Carbon Copy, Jigar Shah and Katherine Hamilton join host Stephen Lacey to talk about the new era for climate solutions deployment in America.
