Bill McKibben (pictured), who is recognised for his understanding of climate change, has praised Australia for its use of solar power.McKibben was in conversation with Ezra Klein from The New York Times.Many would know of McKibben for his efforts in establishing 350.org, and, more recently, The Third Act.

Scientists have uncovered an incredible secret hiding in plain sight on coral reefs. Some tropical sea sponges are able to harvest sunlight through microscopic algae living inside their tissues, giving them a surprising source of energy. It is a discovery that challenges what we thought we knew about one of the ocean's oldest animals. In this episode, we explore how these ancient filter feeders use a partnership with algae to survive and thrive in nutrient-poor tropical waters. You'll learn why this relationship is similar to the one that helps corals build reefs and why researchers believe sponges play a much bigger role in reef ecosystems than previously recognized. Sometimes the most important discoveries come from the animals we pay the least attention to. If we want to protect coral reefs, we need to understand every species that helps keep them functioning. This new research reminds us that even the simplest-looking organisms can have extraordinary abilities and may be far more important than we ever imagined.

Everybody's into the solar energy now. National announced its solar energy policy last week and most people thought it was a sound idea, good common-sense idea. The party, if elected, would launch the Home Energy Fund by tweaking the Local Government Act and committing a one-off $7 million equity investment to secure a 20% shareholding in the new entity with the balance funded by participating councils. The Home Energy Fund, inspired by Local Government New Zealand's ratepayer assistance scheme, would allow property owners to obtain low interest loans secured against their property to be paid off over time through their rates over ten years. And it was intended to help fund the installation of rooftop solar and batteries, heat pumps, insulation, efficient electric appliances, and other approved energy resilience upgrades. Good common sense. However, there were a few callers and texters to the show who said, “Well, what about the renters?" And I said, “Well, surely if you are a good landlord and you want to keep good tenants, you'd put that in because that would help the tenant save money and surely that would be seen as, if the landlords had to sell the house, then it would be seen as an asset having the solar energy on the roof." Well, you don't have to worry about that now because along comes Labour with its solar energy policy. Announced yesterday, the Solar Saver policy pledges a series of initiatives aimed at boosting the use of solar, one of those being the introduction of plug in battery units, sometimes known as balcony solar, widely used in the UK and Germany. The party's pledging loans of up to $3,000 for low- and middle-income households to purchase the portable units. Perfect for renters, they can move their solar energy plug in unit when they move houses, and it's estimated that they could save about $300 to $400 a year from their power bills. But, and it is a big but, WorkSafe has prohibited the use of a particular inverter found in plug in solar systems, which means right now the systems can't be used in New Zealand. Plugging a solar panel or inverter directly into a standard three pin plug is considered illegal and a serious safety risk. Labour says “yes, well we know that and we acknowledge there'll be a hold up." They want to have major parts of the package rolled out within 12 months of being elected, but they acknowledge that's going to be an issue, and National has recognised that too. Energy Minister Simeon Brown says he's asked officials to explore what standards need to be changed to legalise the plug-in solar units. He says the principle's simple: in a country with the sunshine hours we have, Kiwi households and businesses should be able to generate their own power straight off the shelf rather than being locked out by rules that haven't kept pace with the technology. And he's quite right. We're all on board. Everybody's keen to have the solar energy and the renewables and take the load off the heavy, heavy power bills that many households are experiencing right now in the depths of winter. But as Chlöe Swarbrick says, and I'm not sure how many times I've said that phrase on this show over the years, as Chlöe Swarbrick, the leader of the Greens says, “if we're all on board, why do we have to wait until after the election to make it all happen?" Parliament can lower New Zealanders' power bills and reduce emissions before the election kicks in. Chlöe says now both the red team and the blue team have announced their support, there's no reason we can't progress on a cross-partisan agreement to do this right now. And why wouldn't we? I suppose because we haven't got many sunshine hours at the moment as we're flooding and raining and cloudy and unable to hang the washing on the line, but why wouldn't we do it now? Why do we have to wait? I mean, there is going to be the faffing around as we try and make the balcony solar units safe. We don't want to plug them all in, all enthusiastically whip out to Mitre 10 and Bunnings to get our balcony solar units, plug them all in and blow the national grid. We don't want to do that. But she has a point – we don't have to wait until after the election. A good idea is not going to get any better if it gestates for six months. Let's start making it happen now. And I really like the idea of, like, I'm heading up to the Hokianga after work, and the balcony solar units or the plug in battery unit would be perfect up there. We don't have much to run: fridge, the oven's gas, we've got a wood burner. It would be absolutely perfect. Bring it on and I'm with Chlöe Swarbrick. Make it happen now.

Whatever happened to this country's ability to think big on the energy front? And why is it that we're not doing the same with solar energy and why are our politicians relying on households to do the heavy lifting? I mention thinking big intentionally. Because that's what we did back in the 1970s and 1980s, especially with the big hydro power schemes. These days, though, instead of thinking big about energy we're tinkering around the edges. The latest example is Labour's solar energy policy which, like National's policy which came out the other week, is all about getting more households going solar. Essentially, both policies focus on giving people the chance to take out a cheap loan to pay for solar panels and batteries. Some banks already offer this. But you have to have a mortgage with them to qualify. Labour's policy has a few extras. Such as option for renters to use plug-in panels, which are all the rage in some overseas countries, apparently. But I reckon that, if our politicians are really serious about using solar to get cheaper and more reliable power supplies, then they need to be thinking bigger than just solar panels on the roof. And we should be investing in state-owned solar farms. Instead of relying on people to take out loans and put panels on top of their houses, the government should have some skin in the game and get into the business of mass solar generation itself. If it was good enough for us to build big hydro power stations back in the day, the state should be doing something similar and building massive solar farms. You could say it's already doing a bit of that, with its shareholding in the big power generators. But I think it could and should do more. Because, as much as Labour and National will tell us that it's all about dealing with the cost of living and reducing household power bills, that's not the real issue. The real challenge is ensuring we have enough power to keep the lights on at the likes of big manufacturing plants. That's the real challenge facing us. And that's where solar can play a vital role. But we're not going to do that with you and I getting a cheap loan and adding a few panels and a battery to the house. Which is why I think large-scale government investment and ownership of big solar farms would be an absolute no-brainer. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Both National and Labour are rolling out new solar power proposals ahead of the election, and it's clear there's mood for change. Current WorkSafe rules prohibit the use of certain plug-in solar systems because connecting solar panels directly to standard household plugs is considered a safety risk. Rewiring Aotearoa CEO Mike Casey says most political parties are getting behind new proposed energy changes and it's very exciting for the sector.

Plugging a a solar panel into your own wall is currently illegal in New Zealand, but the Government's looking into changing that. In a post on Facebook, Energy Minister Simeon Brown says work is currently under way to make this change happen. Rewiring Aotearoa CEO Mike Casey has welcomed this move, saying this development would be 'amazing'. "It's something that we thought needed to happen in New Zealand, it hasn't happened in Australia yet - we copy a lot of our regulations and standards from Australia, so we're breaking the mould and heading out and doing it ourselves."

In May 2026, our co-host Laurent Segalen had the privilege of chairing a high-profile panel hosted by SolarPower Europe at its annual Solar Power Summit in Brussels, one of the leading gatherings for the European solar and energy storage sectors.  In this episode, we bring you highlights from the hour-long conversation, featuring two distinguished industry leaders: Fredrik Andrén Sandberg from RWE and Hanna Kunzmann from EQT. Between them, their organisations oversee more than 10 GW of battery storage projects either in operation or under development, offering a unique perspective on the realities of financing and scaling storage assets.  The discussion addressed one of the most important questions facing the energy transition today: the bankability of battery storage investments. As battery deployment accelerates across Europe and beyond, investors, developers, and policymakers are increasingly focused on understanding the risks and opportunities that will determine the sector's long-term attractiveness.  The conversation examines battery bankability through four interconnected dimensions. First, technology risk: are batteries still exposed to meaningful technological uncertainty, or have the key challenges shifted towards commercial execution? Second, commercial risk: how should investors evaluate revenue models, merchant exposure, and the growing role of hybridisation strategies? Third, regulatory risk: what policy and market-design uncertainties could affect future returns, from evolving capacity mechanisms to unexpected rule changes? Finally, digital risk: how critical are cybersecurity, battery management systems (BMS), and energy management systems (EMS) in safeguarding performance and protecting asset value over the long term?  The session attracted a packed audience in Brussels and has since been widely praised for the quality, depth, and practical insights of the discussion. Whether you are an investor, developer, policymaker, or simply interested in the future of energy storage, this episode offers a valuable window into how some of the industry's leading players assess risk and opportunity in one of the fastest-growing sectors of the energy transition.

A new study claims that by fitting your home out with solar panels and swapping to an EV, you can save $3000 a year. The savings gap between electric homes and cars and fossil fuelled homes and cars has doubled in two years as energy prices have increased and the price of solar, batteries, electric vehicles and other appliances has fallen. CEO of Rewiring Aotearoa Mike Casey told Mike Hosking that, 'Solar on the roof charging an EV is the cheapest overall. So it's kind of one step at a time is what we're advising most people.'

National says it will make it easier and cheaper for home-owners to switch to solar power, promising low-interest loans and less red tape if it's re-elected. Sustainable Energy Association NZ's Gareth Williams spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Solar companies could be in for a boost if National gets re-elected. The party is pledging to have a scheme offering homeowners low-interest loans to let them switch to solar, batteries, insulation - taking away big upfront costs. The money would be repaid through rates. Rewiring Aotearoa CEO Mike Casey has voiced support for this move. "We've been asking for this for a long time and it's being delivered. So I'm thrilled."

Anjal Niraula, CEO of Gham Power, shares the story behind this Nepal-based solar enterprise that has spent over a decade bringing reliable electricity to communities across the Himalayas — from Mount Everest Base Camp to rural smallholder farmers — by evolving through every shift the market and the country have thrown at them. The conversation moves through 18-hour daily blackouts, a mountain biking expedition across the Annapurnas that closed Gham Power's first million-dollar round, the hard lessons of building a board from scratch, and what it means to lead a company through earthquakes, protests, and a pandemic while staying grounded as a new father. It is a rich and generous conversation about patience, reinvention, and what it really takes to build something that lasts in one of the world's most challenging environments.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that solar power is beating coal for electricity generation in the U.S.

Energy and Environmental Economics Partner talks with CEM Associate Editor Abigail Sawyer about the changing shape of resource adequacy in the Desert Southwest as utilities try to thread the needle on reliably meeting a new level of "baseload demand" while striving for affordability and meeting state clean energy goals. 

There are hopes a new solar-powered housing model could save homeowners thousands of dollars a year in power bills. Fletcher Living is launching a solar-home pilot at its Greenstead development in Lincoln. Octopus Energy will manage the household's energy use, offsetting the cost of any electricity, with no bills promised for the first five years. Chief Executive Steve Evans told Heather du Plessis-Allan solar actually has a lifespan of about 25 years. He says some customers don't want to be tied to a provider for longer than five years, and they believe this pilot will expand. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

[0:45] Mike opens the discussion by connecting Cleveland Heights' biggest issues — vacant homes, potholes, crime, and lack of retail — back to housing.[4:00] Mike criticizes point-of-sale inspections and argues the city should focus more on neglected properties, enforcement, and real cleanup.[6:30] The conversation shifts to Severance, with Mike and Alex discussing solar power, modular housing, hydroponics, and more forward-thinking development.[11:00] Brook and A'marri reset the conversation from a younger resident's perspective, talking about Cleveland Heights leadership, the mayoral race, and city priorities.[24:30] Brook and A'marri compare point-of-sale violations with neglected vacant homes and explain why residents want clear action instead of more studies.

Nour Haydar speaks with Christopher Knaus about the BHP files – the cache of internal documents leaked to the Guardian and the ABC's Four Corners – which show that the world's biggest miner has war-gamed ways to massively delay decarbonisation

Space-based solar power – it's a hot and electrifying topic again (sorry for the pun!) What is the state of the art? What are the commercial use cases? How do the economics look? We'll dive into this and more with our guest Marc Berte, CEO & Founder of Overview Energy. Enjoy!

Mark Carney says Canada can become an energy superpower, given its potential in oil, gas, electricity, solar, and wind. But as we are seeing now, to get there, some old promises need to change. Is that price too high? Just some of the questions and one of the issues for Chantal and Bruce on today's Good Talk. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It sounds like something straight out of science fiction: giant solar panels floating in space, beaming energy back down to Earth. Companies like Meta and space agencies in Japan are taking the idea seriously, hoping it could help power growing energy demands. Supporters say space-based solar could deliver constant, around-the-clock clean energy because the sun never stops shining. Critics say the technology is wildly expensive and still far from reality. Matt Galloway speaks with former NASA physicist John C. Mankins and former NASA technology policy chief Charity Weeden about whether this is the future of energy or a very expensive fantasy.

Gene therapy has been quietly pulling off miracles, and this week, it got its Oscars moment. Emma Varvaloucas, Executive Director of The Progress Network, breaks down how a husband-and-wife scientific team's decades-long quest has restored sight to over 100 blind Americans, and how a brand-new drug called Otarmeni just became the first-ever FDA-approved gene therapy for genetic deafness. The science is extraordinary. The price tags, less so.Plus: The United Kingdom passes a genuinely radical generational ban on smoking; the US Senate unanimously bans members and staffers from betting on prediction markets, after some were caught betting on their own races; and Meta inks a deal to beam solar power down from space.What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and Kaleidoscope.For transcripts, to join the newsletter, and for more information, visit: theprogressnetwork.orgSubscribe to our (FREE) Substack newsletter: https://theprogressnetwork.org/newsletter/Watch the podcast on YouTube: / theprogressnetworkFollow us on X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok: @progressntwrkFollow Emma on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heyemmavarv/

In this episode of People in Power, California Energy Markets Staff Writer Linda Dailey Paulson dives into Western energy prices, which due to a variety of factors have seen extreme volatility, including negative prices in the triple digits. Along with CEM Associate Editor Abigail Sawyer and CEM Managing Editor Jason Fordney, Linda takes a general look at real-time and 15-minute day-ahead power price trends, exploring topics such as what increased renewables mean, why batteries are not able to take up excess solar, and what's happening with demand.

Welcome to the ENT! A new energy technology combines solar energy with energy storage, providing reliable energy and overcoming a major hurdle to renewable energy. Solar power is abundant, but only works when the sun shines. Our guest, KJ Lee from Q3 Power, explains how his company combines both solar power and energy storage to solve this dilemma. Right from the beginning, KJ explains how a parabolic trough creates heat. Then, like the advertisements for Reese's peanut butter cups, where peanut butter was mixed with chocolate, the other half of the technology comes together. The current product provides industrial grade electricity generation 24 hours a day, powered by the sun, even when the sun does not shine. In this extended length episode, we cover the basics and answer common questions about service, installation, and also provide some technological detail as well. For large data centers and other high energy users, this new technology provides “behind the meter” energy creation. For utilities, it could help to levelize the load on the grid. And, in the future, they will release a retail home version as well. As always, it is good to have an expert on your side.   Our guest: KJ Lee Q3 Power 615-801-0205 KJ@q3power.comhttps://q3power.com The Expert Network Team provides a free consultation.
