In 2014, the world's second largest coal consumer made a bold promise: to increase its solar capacity from three gigawatts to 100 gigawatts in just eight years. Many people called it overly ambitious, but energy expert Kanika Chawla saw the opportunity of a lifetime. She tells the story of how India became a solar powerhouse, turning an expensive dream into an economic reality — and creating a model for other countries to follow suit. After, Sherrell reflects on what drives the green economy and the growth strategy other companies can follow.Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

The initial goal was to fund our 2025 Best of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast album. Happily that goal was reached within three days of the start of the campaign. Now we have a secondary stretch goal to fund the… IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODFEST AND ARTS MARKET This is a one - day music festival and arts market that will take place on Sunday, March 8, 2026 at The Lost Druid Brewery in Avondale Estates, GA, 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta. There are four bands performing at the festival. I am performing one show solo and one show with May Will Bloom, where my daughter takes the lead. Kinfolk will join us as well as I mentioned last week. But the final band performing at the festival is a 3 - piece version of The Muckers, our local Celtic punk band. That will complete our lineup. Follow our event page on Facebook for more details. Or Follow us for Free on our Patreon page. Now my next goal is to raise $3200 so that all of the bands are paid a decent wage and to promote our first - ever Celtic festival. To that end, I added three new rewards for Kickstarter. Each is a chance to sponsor individual bands at the festival. When you do, you'll get one of the first album pins from each of these amazing Celtic bands. That's because we are highlighting album pins at the festival as well, as another means to promote the music of bands. Our album pins are wooden lapel pins themed to a particular album released by a band. The buyer gets a digital download of the album, then they can wear their album! There's just 8 days left on this Kickstarter. So please make a pledge to support Celtic culture through music. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

Originaire d'Amérique du Sud, le manioc a été largement adopté par le continent africain, depuis plusieurs siècles déjà. Aliment incontournable, on en consomme les feuilles et la racine. Cuisiné tout simplement en frites, on peut aussi le broyer pour produire de la farine, sa pulpe fermentée devient également une semoule succulente que l'on appellera attiéké.  Toujours fermenté et cuit à la vapeur, il se transforme aussi en pâte dont les Congolais ont fait leur spécialité sous le nom de chikwangue. Les possibilités du manioc et de ses dérivés en cuisine sembleraient presque infinies. La traditionnelle racine ne demande qu'à montrer toute sa modernité. Mais avant de faire preuve de créativité avec le manioc, comment le préparer, réussir sa fermentation, sa semoule, et tirer le meilleur de cet aliment du quotidien ? Décryptage avec nos chefs.   Avec : • Anto Cocagne, « Le Chef Anto », cheffe à domicile, autrice de Mon Afrique – Produits phares, savoir-faire, recettes (Mango éditions,2024) et fondatrice de Baraka by le Chef Anto, table et épicerie fine qui met en valeur le meilleur des saveurs africaines, située à Paris • Warren Kambogo, entrepreneur, directeur de SOPRAA, Société de Production Agricole-Apicole et de SOVAPROAT, société de valorisation et de production des produits agricoles agroindustriels et du terroir au Gabon • Celso de Freitas Andrade, chef et co-gérant du restaurant brésilien Gabriella à Paris. Auteur de Brasileiro - Mémoire, histoires et recettes du Brésil (Solar, 2025). En fin d'émission, la chronique IA débat, de Thibault Matha, chez 8 milliards de voisins. Alors que l'intelligence artificielle devient omniprésente dans notre quotidien et que son utilisation se démocratise, Thibault Matha interroge les outils, et analyse la pertinence de leurs réponses. On continue de parler du manioc avec Thibault qui a notamment demandé à l'intelligence artificielle de créer une recette originale avec la fameuse tubercule.

Joe Heinrich comes from a multi-generation Iowa farming family. As executive director of the non-profit Farm-to-Power, he's helping farmers to navigate the new world of renewable energy. Solar and wind developers are looking for land, which farmers have; farmers are looking for extra income steams, which energy can provide. But what happens to land with utility-scale energy installations? Some farmers are making sure that the panels are high enough off the ground that cattle can graze under them—and take advantage of the shade they provide. Others are grazing sheep under the panels, providing landscaping services and keeping the land healthy. Still others are growing crops. All of these are examples of agrovoltaics, or what Heinrich calls "double cropping"—harvesting food and energy at the same time.

Send me a messageEurope doesn't have a clean energy problem. It has a grid problem.Solar is cheap. Batteries are scaling. Demand is exploding. The system in the middle is cracking.In this episode, I'm joined by Rob Stait, Managing Director of Alight's behind-the-meter business, to unpack why the energy transition is now being held back less by technology and more by infrastructure, regulation, and outdated thinking. Alight develops and owns onsite solar and battery systems for large energy users across Europe, using long-term PPAs to lock in savings, cut emissions, and build resilience.We dig into why waiting for cheaper solar or batteries is often the wrong call, and why businesses that move early gain a structural advantage. You'll hear how behind-the-meter solar and battery storage bypass grid bottlenecks entirely, why blaming renewables for blackouts misses the real issue, and how decentralised generation is reshaping energy security, affordability, and decarbonisation all at once.We also explore the uncomfortable reality facing Europe's grids, the growing role of data centres and electrification, and why microgrids are starting to look less like an edge case and more like the logical endgame of the energy transition. This is a grounded conversation about climate tech that works, emissions reduction that scales, and why net zero will be built through economics as much as policy.

What does it really take to build a stronger, smarter, clean energy future? In this episode of CleanTech Talk, we delve into the forces shaping the next era of solar energy. With decades of experience leading in the global energy space, from ABB and Schneider Electric to Enphase and now SolarEdge, General Manager for SolarEdge North America Marty Rogers shares a ground-level view of what's next in inverter and storage innovation, how the US can take control of its domestic solar supply chain, and why sustainability must extend beyond the rooftop. We also delve into real-world solar trends across residential, commercial, and grid services, as well as the policy, technology, and manufacturing shifts necessary to scale with impact.

Recorded during a peak-time set before Solar at Braket and BodyHeat's Antemortem rave, this over two hour session unfolds more like a single longform composition than a sequence of individual tracks. Leaning heavily into dub techno, it offered listeners a glimpse of a future imagined through the echoes of past industry—an idea mirrored by the rave's setting itself, a retired military barrack. Deep, squelchy textures, patient transitions, and restrained momentum create a cohesive, soft-hued arc that bridges breakbeats, techno, and 90's progressive, capturing both the spirit of the moment and an artist confidently coming into their own.

In this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. Kalliopi Nikolopoulou discuss the intersection of ancient tragedy, justice, and cosmology. Drawing from Dr. Nikolopoulou's book Hunting for Justice: The Cosmology of Decay in Aeschylus' Oresteia, the conversation explores how the relationship between nature and justice has been severed by modern political thought. Together, they examine Aeschylus' Oresteia—the only fully surviving trilogy of Greek tragedy—to trace the move from tribal blood-feuds to the establishment of the Areopagus, the world's first courtroom.The discussion engages the philosophical tension between the "Solar" order of Apollo and the "Chthonic" justice of the Furies, asking whether human reason alone can sustain a civic community. Analyzing the trial of Orestes and its famous hung jury, Dr. Nikolopoulou critiques the Hegelian view of progress, suggesting that when justice is reduced to a mere social construct, it loses its vital alignment with the natural world. The episode explores concepts such as ananke (necessity), the "theological politics" of Athena, and the inherent arbitrariness that persists within even the most rational legal systems.This conversation is essential for those interested in classical philology, legal theory, environmental ethics, and continental philosophy. Rather than viewing the Oresteia as a simple story of legal evolution, Dr. Nikolopoulou reframes it as a warning about the limits of human technology and craft in the face of mortality. Scholarly yet accessible, this episode speaks to the need for a "cosmological" justice that remains open to the biological and existential realities of the human condition.Make sure to check out Dr. Nikolopoulou's book: Hunting for Justice: The Cosmology of Dike in Aeschylus's Oresteia

Philip Clark is joined by the author of The Good Solar Guide, an electrical engineer with expertise in rooftops, to answered general questions all about solar power and batteries. 

This week on the podcast, we welcome back Rob West, founder and CEO of Thunder Said Energy.  Founded in 2019, the firm provides research that helps decision-makers identify energy opportunities. Based in Estonia, nine time zones away, Rob is an exceptionally productive energy expert whose work spans a wide range of topics. We begin by walking through Rob's Top Ten Themes for Energy in 2026, including the continued steady growth in global oil demand, a waning focus on net zero, EVs, and decarbonization. With that lens, we also discuss Canada's Pathways carbon capture and storage (CCS) project. Rob then shares his bullish outlook for LNG demand growth, with positive implications for Canada's aspiration to grow LNG exports. Rob also argues that there is a growing investment case for grid-enhancing technologies to increase the utilization of existing infrastructure and meet rising electricity loads. We also touch on the outlook for copper demand driven by electrification, robotics, and AI data centers, as well as Rob's expectations for electricity load growth, which are more conservative than some other forecasts. Finally, Rob and Jackie revisit Jackie's “doomsday” scenario: what it would actually cost to back up her home during an extended power outage, comparing options such as using stored power from an electric vehicle, a home battery, and a natural gas generator. Content referenced on this podcast:Sign up for Rob's daily note at his website, https://thundersaidenergy.com/ Ten Themes for Energy in 2026 from Thunder Said Energy (January 1, 2026) Rob's video: US load growth: unpopular opinions (September 3, 2025) Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

Resume construction by January sixteenth… or cancel Empire Wind forever. Well… the courts have spoken. Last Thursday, Judge Carl Nichols issued his ruling. Empire Wind can resume construction. The harm from stopping, he said, outweighs the government’s concerns. One day earlier, Ørsted won the same relief for Revolution Wind. And now Vineyard Wind has joined the fight in Massachusetts. Three projects. Three courtrooms. Two victories and one victory yet to come. Meanwhile in Britain… a different kind of drama. German utility EnBW announced Thursday it is walking away from two major UK projects. Mona and Morgan. Three gigawatts of potential capacity. The cost of leaving? One point four billion dollars in write-offs. Eight hundred forty million pounds already paid… gone. Rising costs. Lower electricity prices. Higher interest rates. Their partner, Jera Nex BP, says they still see good pathways forward. But EnBW has had enough. Yet in the very same week… Investment giant KKR and German utility RWE announced a fifteen billion dollar partnership. Norfolk Vanguard East and West. Three gigawatts. One hundred eighty-four turbines. Power for three million British homes. Big winners and losers. In the same market. In the same week. Danish media outlet Berlingske obtained a confidential report from Ørsted’s procurement department. The world’s largest offshore wind developer… is exploring whether to buy turbines from China. They call it Project Dragon. The plan covers twenty-twenty-six through twenty-twenty-eight. CEO Rasmus Errboe told reporters they continuously evaluate all technologies and suppliers. Quality. Technical capabilities. Commercial conditions. He did not deny the report. For years, European developers have resisted Chinese turbines. Fear of losing their industry to China… just like they lost solar manufacturing a decade ago. But Ørsted is under pressure. In Australia, Fortescue has broken ground on its first wind project in the Pilbara. The Nullagine Wind Project. One hundred thirty-three megawatts. Seventeen turbines. But here is what makes it special. Nabrawind’s self-erecting tower technology. Hub height of one hundred eighty-eight meters. A new global benchmark for onshore wind. No giant cranes required. Fortescue plans two to three gigawatts of renewable energy across the Pilbara by twenty-thirty. Wind. Solar. Batteries. To power their mining trucks. Their drills. Their processing plants. Last week we talked about Equinor’s deadline. About Ørsted losing one and a half million euros every single day. About billions in limbo. This week… the courts stepped in. Empire Wind resumes. Revolution Wind continues. Vineyard Wind fights on. All while the North Sea quietly crossed a milestone. One hundred one operational wind farms. Thirty gigawatts of clean power. More than any body of water on Earth. Some companies are walking away. Others are doubling down with fifteen billion dollar bets. The wind industry is evolving very quickly. And that’s the state of the wind industry for the 19th of January 2026. Join us tomorrow for the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast.

We also explore the latest research on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, and uncover the sources of the sun's mysterious gamma rays.Life's Building Blocks on TitanA groundbreaking study reveals that Titan, Saturn's largest moon, exhibits unexpected chemical interactions at extremely low temperatures. Researchers found that hydrogen cyanide can mix with nonpolar substances like methane and ethane, challenging traditional chemistry principles. This discovery could provide insights into the prebiotic chemistry that may have preceded life on Earth, as Titan's environment mirrors that of early Earth.Europa's Quiet OceansIn a surprising turn, new calculations suggest that the vast subsurface ocean beneath Europa's icy crust may be lifeless. This research indicates that Europa lacks the geological activity, such as hydrothermal vents, necessary to sustain life. Lead author Paul Brian discusses how the moon's stable orbit around Jupiter limits the tidal forces that could drive geological processes, casting doubt on the moon's potential as a habitat for life.The Source of Solar Gamma RaysAstronomers have identified the origin of intense gamma radiation emitted during solar flares, linking it to high-energy electrons colliding with plasma in the solar corona. This finding, derived from observations of a significant solar flare in 2017, enhances our understanding of solar flare physics and could improve space weather forecasting.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesNature CommunicationsNature AstronomyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) Scientists studying Saturn's moon Titan have discovered that normally incompatible substances can mix(00:05:19) NASA will launch the Dragonfly mission to Titan in 2028(00:13:36) NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft will study icy moon Europa(00:18:11) Astronomers have discovered that gamma rays generated by solar flares are caused by electrons(00:21:58) Most people who take diabetes drug Mounjaro gain weight back after stopping

Story Transcript:Ca: Les ombres dansaven a les parets de la botiga del museu mentre l'Oriol, amb els ulls brillants de curiositat, explorava el lloc.En: The shadows danced on the walls of the museum shop while l'Oriol, with eyes bright with curiosity, explored the place.Ca: Era un dia d'hivern, amb l'escalfor del museu contrastant amb el fred de l'exterior.En: It was a winter day, with the warmth of the museum contrasting with the cold outside.Ca: L'Oriol anava acompanyat dels seus amics, en Jon i la Marta, que semblaven menys interessats en les curiositats tecnològiques.En: L'Oriol was accompanied by his friends, Jon and Marta, who seemed less interested in technological curiosities.Ca: "L'Oriol sempre té el cap als núvols amb aquestes coses", va comentar en Jon mentre passejaven pel passadís ple de turistes curiosos.En: "L'Oriol always has his head in the clouds with these things," commented Jon while they walked through the hallway full of curious tourists.Ca: "Sí, però mira com gaudeix!", va replicar la Marta amb un somriure.En: "Yes, but look how much he's enjoying it!" replied Marta with a smile.Ca: L'Oriol es sentia emocionat davant tants tresors científics.En: L'Oriol felt excited before so many scientific treasures.Ca: Però tenia un objectiu clar a la ment: volia trobar un gadget únic, alguna cosa que pogués mostrar als seus amics i fer que el miressin d'una manera diferent.En: But he had a clear goal in mind: he wanted to find a unique gadget, something he could show his friends to make them look at him differently.Ca: Volia ser interessant.En: He wanted to be interesting.Ca: El museu estava a vessar, i la botiga era un caos de veus i rialles.En: The museum was crowded, and the shop was a chaos of voices and laughter.Ca: Els prestatges eren plens de joguines científiques, llibres, microscopis, i robots de joguina.En: The shelves were full of scientific toys, books, microscopes, and toy robots.Ca: Però quan va veure el preu dels articles que li cridaven l'atenció, l'alegria de l'Oriol va començar a desaparèixer.En: But when he saw the price of the items that caught his attention, l'Oriol's joy began to fade.Ca: "Tot és massa car o poc impressionant", es va lamentar en veu baixa.En: "Everything is too expensive or not impressive enough," he muttered quietly.Ca: Malgrat la frustració, l'Oriol es va prendre el temps d'explorar cada racó.En: Despite the frustration, L'Oriol took the time to explore every corner.Ca: Tot i el risc de perdre el bus, va decidir que valia la pena buscar una mica més.En: Despite the risk of missing the bus, he decided it was worth searching a bit more.Ca: La determinació el va portar cap a un racó menys concorregut de la botiga.En: Determination led him to a less crowded corner of the shop.Ca: Allà, en veure una petita capsa amb un kit de robot solar, els ulls de l'Oriol es van il·luminar.En: There, when he saw a small box with a solar robot kit, l'Oriol's eyes lit up.Ca: No era car, i el més important, era un repte per construir.En: It wasn't expensive, and most importantly, it was a challenge to build.Ca: Però un dubte va aparèixer: "Serà prou interessant per als altres?"En: But a doubt appeared: "Will it be interesting enough for others?"Ca: Els pensaments van començar a formar espirals dins el seu cap.En: Thoughts began to spiral in his head.Ca: Volia impressionar els seus amics, però... també volia divertir-se i aprendre.En: He wanted to impress his friends, but... he also wanted to have fun and learn.Ca: Va imaginar com seria muntar el robot, les peces encaixant com un puzle.En: He imagined what it would be like to assemble the robot, the pieces fitting together like a puzzle.Ca: Finalment, va tancar els ulls i va somriure.En: Finally, he closed his eyes and smiled.Ca: El goig d'aprendre i el repte d'aquell petit kit solar eren el que veritablement el feien feliç.En: The joy of learning and the challenge of that small solar kit were what truly made him happy.Ca: Amb les paraules de la Marta ressonant a la seva ment, "Mira com gaudeix!", va saber que la seva decisió estava presa.En: With Marta's words echoing in his mind, "Look how much he's enjoying it!", he knew his decision was made.Ca: L'Oriol va comprar el kit, agafant-lo amb orgull.En: L'Oriol bought the kit, holding it with pride.Ca: Va sortir de la botiga amb un nou sentiment de confiança.En: He left the shop with a new sense of confidence.Ca: A fora, les llums de l'hivern il·luminaven els ulls del seu nou amic solar, petit però ple de possibilitats.En: Outside, the winter lights illuminated his new solar friend, small but full of possibilities.Ca: L'Oriol, ara amb un somriure clar i segura, esperava compartir aquella aventura amb els seus amics, no per impressionar-los, sinó per il·luminar la seva pròpia passió i compartir moments de felicitat genuïna.En: L'Oriol, now with a clear and certain smile, looked forward to sharing this adventure with his friends, not to impress them, but to illuminate his own passion and share moments of genuine happiness.Ca: Amb cada pas, mentre el museu tancava les seves portes darrere d'ells, l'Oriol sentia que era

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on "Sovereign AI" and the recipe with three ingredients each country needs to achieve it. Plus a special focus on the state of Sovereign AI in South-East Asia and why these nations (though not only these nations - indeed most nations) need a radical pivot: A stand-alone Minister of AI; a large build-out of data centers at home; and critically, a tsunami of solar, wind and storage to power this new brain with the only fuel that makes economic and security sense.

In this episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, host Benoy Thanjan is joined by returning guest and co-host Nate Jovanelly, CEO and Founder of Sunraise Capital, for a deep dive into the US Residential Solar Outlook for 2026. With major policy changes, the elimination of Section 25D for homeowners, and a rapid shift back to third-party ownership models, the residential solar market is undergoing one of the biggest transformations in its history. Benoy and Nate break down what changed in 2025, how the Big Beautiful Bill reshaped the market, and what installers, investors, and homeowners need to understand heading into 2026. They explore the return of leases and PPAs, the growing importance of energy storage, the impact of FEOC and domestic content requirements, rising equipment complexity, and how customer acquisition is evolving. Nate also shares candid insights from building Sunraise Capital over the past two and a half years and offers advice for clean energy entrepreneurs navigating turbulent times.   Notable Quotes * “The only constant in solar is change.” * “Leases are back, and they're back for a reason.” * “Complexity is becoming the moat in residential solar.” * “Solar is still sold, not bought, and that has to change.” * “The companies that survive this period are going to thrive.”   Why This Episode Matters The residential solar industry is entering a new era. With homeowner tax credits gone, equipment rules tightening, and storage becoming mainstream, 2026 will separate the adaptable companies from the rest. This conversation provides real-world perspective from the front lines and cuts through the noise to explain what is actually happening in the market.

SHOW NOTESThe word apocalypse doesn't mean ending - it means revelation, transformation. History shows that human apocalypses don't destroy everything, they fundamentally change society. The Black Death killed half of Europe but broke the feudal system when labor scarcity gave peasants bargaining power for the first time. Mexico City earthquake survivors didn't scatter in panic - they ran toward collapsed buildings to help, forming rescue groups that still exist today. Research shows you only need 25 percent of any community committed to change to flip entire social norms, and this tipping point explains sudden shifts like smoking bans and marriage equality.We're already past several positive tipping points. Solar and wind energy are now the cheapest electricity in most places, not from subsidies but simple economics. Each success makes the next easier, creating momentum. But colonial history warns us that recovery requires agency - when Spanish colonizers destroyed Aztec water systems and imposed their own approach, they created problems Mexico City still faces 500 years later. Unlike every previous generation facing apocalypse, we can see climate change coming. We have time, knowledge, and choice. The question isn't whether systems will transform, but whether we choose adaptation while we still have agency or wait for collapse to force it on us.Two "LET'S TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY AND OUR PLANET" Guides:A Call to Act: The World's Most Comprehensive Database of Eco-Solutions.                Hundreds of Eco-Organizations, Eco-Activities, and Eco-Actions you can take today.Trumping Trump: A new survival guide for maintaining focus and sanity while avoiding outrage fatigue.
