The solar industry is warning that Ireland may not be making the most of all that clean energy. Concerns are growing that parts of the electricity grid aren't keeping pace with the rapid growth in solar generation, meaning some renewable power is effectively going to waste.To discuss whether Ireland is maximising the potential of solar energy, and what needs to happen next, Joe was joined by Ronan Power, CEO of Solar Ireland.Image via Getty.

BC Hydro's transition to Net Billing is now official, with the new program launching July 1. In this episode, we sit down with Steve Unger, Lead, Microgrid Development at Shift, to recap the journey to get here, explain how Net Billing works, why BC Hydro made the change, and tackle the question many solar homeowners are asking: Should you keep the $5,000 rebate or pay it back to stay on Net Metering? Steve shares his perspective after reviewing a wide range of customer scenarios. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Recorded on-site at the SolarPower Summit in Brussels, this week's episode captures the market developments and innovative young companies shaping Europe's clean energy transition. We kick things off with renowned BloombergNEF solar analyst Jenny Chase, who joins us to unpack why batteries have become the defining technology conversation across Europe's solar sector. As PV penetration rates continue to increase and negative pricing events become more common, Jenny explains why in this next phase of development, the industry's challenge is managing flexibility, storage, and increasingly volatile power markets. The conversation touches on anticipated developments like changing energy-trading models, EV smart charging, and long-duration storage, while also exploring how software and intelligent asset management are becoming as important as the hardware itself. And Jenny flags battery revenue cannibalization as a trend to keep an eye out for. The second half of the episode features interviews with the four finalists of the European Solar Startup Award, recorded directly after the competition finals at the summit: We speak with Sweden's Qurrent about hybrid solar and battery optimization platforms designed to unlock new revenue streams for renewable assets. Finland's Polar Night Energy explains how high-temperature sand batteries could provide low-cost industrial heat and long-duration storage using excess renewable electricity. Gridio discusses the growing importance of seamless EV smart charging and integrating electric vehicles with home solar systems. And finally, we hear from reLi Energy – the winner of the competition – on one of the battery sector's most urgent emerging challenges: degradation management and how smarter operation of battery assets could dramatically improve long-term revenues and asset lifetimes. From the summit location in Brussels, this episode of The smarter E podcast provides a snapshot of where the European energy transition is heading next.

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.

Tim Fernholz, Senior Reporter, TechCrunch, joins Jon Hansen on Your Money Matters to discuss how Meta is investing in solar farms and is now looking to use satellites in space to get more power. Tim talks about how the process will work, how safe it will be, and the future of solar power.

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.

This week's Mixtape Rewind takes us back to Season 1 when Instagram picked our summer soundtrack, and we just tried to keep up. We asked listeners to send their best summer songs, then built a real mixtape out of the chaos: 12 tracks that feel like heat haze, long evenings, and that first day when summer finally clicks into place. Along the way, we shout out the people who submitted picks and admit where we couldn't resist sneaking in a few of our own.The fun part is how quickly “summer music” stops being simple. We get nostalgic with LFO's “Summer Girls” and the oddly unforgettable lyrics that still scream 1999, then jump to Sylvan Esso's “Rooftop Dancing” and talk about why rooftops are basically the city version of a pool. Weezer's “Feels Like Summer” brings that bittersweet edge, and from there we keep pulling on the thread of sunny songs that hide something darker underneath.Lorde's “Solar Power” nails the new-release summer vibe, The Kinks' “Sunny Afternoon” turns out to be way more cynical than it sounds, and Childish Gambino's “Feels Like Summer” smuggles climate change anxiety into a laid-back groove. We round it out with true summer essentials like DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's “Summertime,” a pure-pop hit from Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen, a “Constructive Summer” pep talk from The Hold Steady, and a cover-song detour with The Ataris and “Kokomo” before Poison closes the night with “Nothing But A Good Time.”One more tease: there's no Bruce Springsteen on the main mix, and yes, we noticed. Hit play, share this with a friend who hoards playlists, and leave a review if you want more listener-built mixes.

Electricity prices have risen sharply over the past decade. A new, cheap solar power option could cut bills. But it's facing legal challenges. Crosscurrents host Hana Baba sat down with KALW's climate reporter, Mary Catherine O'Connor, to learn more.

In this episode of Space Revolution, Lt Gen (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast takes a focused look at space-based solar power and brings in Gary Spirnak, CEO of Solaren, to explain why the technology may finally be commercially viable. The conversation centers on what makes solar power from orbit different from ground-based systems, including constant access to sunlight, the ability to deliver baseload power, and the possibility of scaling from megawatts to gigawatts in a way that could compete with traditional utility power on Earth. Spirnak breaks down the economics, the engineering challenge of scaling, and why his company is focused not on small demonstrations but on building a system that can actually sell electricity at competitive rates. The episode also digs into the practical questions people naturally ask about a space solar power system: safety, beam intensity, aviation concerns, birds, regulation, and how close this technology may be to real-world deployment. Kwast and Spirnak discuss the strategic implications for the United States, the role of China in the race for space-based energy, and how abundant orbital power could support not only utilities on Earth but future activity on the Moon, Mars, and the wider space economy. It is a grounded, high-level conversation about turning a long-discussed idea into a serious commercial and strategic infrastructure play.

Greg Mason, Associate Editor of Clearing Up, interviews Larry Bekkedahl, senior vice-president of advanced energy delivery at Portland General Electric, about his retirement from the energy industry after 40 years, his perspective on the region's load projections, and his advice to grid operators on maintaining reliability.

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – This structural dependence means that any disruption—whether from conflict, sabotage, or shipping hazards—would immediately constrain global supply, exactly as we have seen in the past two weeks. Natural gas flows reinforce this vulnerability. Qatar, one of the world's largest LNG exporters, ships nearly all of its liquefied natural gas...

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Vahram Ayvazyan, founder of the Armenian Network State, for a wide-ranging conversation touching on AI and the future of work, the cyclical nature of human conflict throughout history, the decay of the nation-state, the concept of a "fourth establishment" of free people operating outside traditional power structures, the role of greed and self-aggrandizement in politics and tech, and how network states could serve as a parallel structure to challenge entrenched global elites. You can find Vahram on LinkedIn, or check the Armenian Network State page at networkstate.io.Timestamps00:00 The Future of AI and Humanity05:57 Human Nature and Greed12:00 The Crisis of Nation-States17:53 Community Resilience and Abundance23:30 The Power of Storytelling in Change29:43 Cultural Connections: Armenia and Africa35:43 Western Dominance and Its Consequences42:17 Creativity in the Age of AI48:07 Creating Parallel StructuresKey Insights1. Humans advance technologically but remain socially and biologically stagnant. Vahram argues that despite extraordinary technological leaps, human nature remains driven by greed and self-aggrandizement. Conflicts today mirror those of thousands of years ago, with only the actors changing while the underlying structure of power struggles stays the same.2. Power corrupts by disconnecting leaders from reality. Using a personal account of a deputy head of state, the guest illustrates how those who gain significant power gradually lose touch with reality, fall into cycles of wanting more, and become trapped in ego-driven decision-making regardless of their original intentions.3. The nation-state is in decay and failing its citizens. Globalization, internet, and migration have eroded the nation-state's ability to deliver basic services. Events like the Valencia flooding exposed how even wealthy European governments mismanage resources despite collecting enormous tax revenues.4. Three institutions currently rule the world, with a fourth emerging. Nation-states, multinational corporations, and religious institutions form today's power structure. The guest envisions a "fourth establishment" — network states — composed of free-thinking individuals connecting across geographies to build parallel, dignity-based communities outside these failing systems.5. Intentions matter more than the tools themselves. Whether discussing AI, nuclear energy, or mathematics, the guest emphasizes that technology is neutral and that what defines civilization is the moral intention behind its use, not the sophistication of the tools developed.6. Western civilization's dominance was built on superior weapons, not superior values. The guest challenges Western narratives by suggesting its historical advantage came primarily from military technology rather than cultural or moral superiority, contrasting this with indigenous and Eastern philosophies that treat land, community, and human relationships as sacred rather than as capital.7. Evolutionary, not revolutionary, change is the path forward. The guest warns that revolutionary movements are easily infiltrated, diverted, or crushed by existing power structures. Meaningful change requires patiently building critical mass through parallel structures, storytelling, and emotional connection until the alternative becomes undeniably powerful.

It sounds like something a Bond villain would think up. A startup wants to put giant mirrors into space to reflect sunlight back toward the Earth at night. Why would someone want to do this? To disturb the sleep of everyone on the “dark side” of the planet? No, but that would happen. To help plants grow faster and feed more people? Nope. It's to keep giant solar power installations going after the sun goes down. This is a stupid, harmful idea, and we will explain why.Join The Heartland Institute's Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and special guest David Legates, Ph.D., who will be speaking at our climate conference next month. We will also cover other crazy climate news of the week, including how climate change is supposedly killing penguins while also making them thrive, how a huge field of solar panels in Indiana lost a fight with a tornado, and how a new independent temperature station in Reno proves that the world isn't really as warm as alarmists say.

The conflict in the Middle East has sent energy prices soaring, and for countries that import a high proportion of their fuel, it's a reminder of the perils of energy dependence. As the recipient of almost 90% of Iran's crude oil, China knows this only too well. Which partly explains why the country spent the last decade heavily investing in clean power. To find out what else could be driving the strategy, Madeleine Finlay speaks to senior China correspondent Amy Hawkins. And energy correspondent Jillian Ambrose reflects on how China's ambitions could affect the rest of the world. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/sciencepod

In an effort to make their farms more environmentally and economically sustainable, some farmers are experimenting with agrivoltaics: growing crops underneath solar panels. This dual harvest is working for some, but what will it take for agrivoltaics to work on a larger, more industrial scale? Joining Host Ira Flatow are journalist Jana Rose Schleis and environmental economics expert Madhu Khanna.Guests:Jana Rose Schleis is a news producer at KBIA in Columbia, Missouri. Her podcast series, “The Next Harvest,” is available on podcast platforms.Dr. Madhu Khanna is a professor of environmental economics and director of the Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Elizabeth Yeampierre, attorney and executive director of UPROSE, talks about Sunset Park Solar, a grassroots project seeking to bring green power to Sunset Park residents.

Rooftop solar costs nearly three times as much in the US as it does in Australia, largely due to the "paperwork tax" imposed by thousands of fragmented local jurisdictions. I talk with Nick Josefowitz of Permit Power and solar veteran Andrew Birch about how to slash these soft costs through automated permitting and standardized interconnection. We discuss how these bureaucratic fixes could unlock dirt-cheap energy for American families without the need for subsidies. This is a public episode.

Since President Trump returned to office, his administration has been aggressive in rolling back clean energy initiatives. Trump's “big beautiful bill” ended tax credits for solar panels and electric vehicles. And the EPA is moving to cancel $7 billion dollars in federal grants that were intended to help low- and middle-income families install solar on their homes.But that isn't the whole story. Texas, California, and other states are bringing so much solar and battery power online that in March, fossil fuels generated less than half the electricity in the US for the first time ever. And internationally, solar has gotten so cheap to build and install that it's fundamentally transforming many countries' power grids.So where exactly does solar adoption stand in the US and across the world right now?In August, climate activist Bill McKibben joined Host Ira Flatow to talk about the recent wins and future challenges that sun-powered energy faces, which he writes about in his new book Here Comes The Sun: A Last Chance for the Climate and a Fresh Chance for Civilization.Read an excerpt from Here Comes The Sun.Guest: Bill McKibben is a climate activist and founder of Third Act. He's based in Middlebury, Vermont.Transcript for this episode is available at sciencefriday.com. Subscribe to this podcast.
