Common sense is rare these days, especially in government. This week's show highlights how energy policy must balance traditional and renewable energy technologies. However, the best common-sense approach is to embrace energy efficiency first. American voters also want a common-sense approach to energy policy. However, energy pundits on both sides are still debating whether "All of the Above" includes fossil fuels or natural gas. This discussion is likely to get more heated as we head into

Coal plants may be the missing link to powering a nuclear energy future. The Department of Energy recently identified hundreds of coal power plants that could increase nuclear capacity in the U.S. to more than 250 gigawatts (GW). The existing fleet has a combined capacity of 95 GW and supplies half of the nation's emissions-free electricity. The transition would also bring tangible benefits to energy communities with additional jobs, new economic activities, and improved environmental conditions

Wind and solar are the ideal renewable energy sources, but they have one big problem: reliability. However, the sun doesn't always shine, and the wind doesn't always blow. Therefore, renewable energy needs batteries to store the excess energy generated by wind and solar energy for dark and stormy days and nights. Battery storage technology is on the cusp of becoming practical, but it's not quite there yet. T. On today's show, our host, Dr. Katherine Johnson, will discuss the role of batteries in

Concerns about climate change have created a new psychological issue: climate anxiety. Eco-anxiety, also known as climate anxiety, is a chronic fear and distress about environmental issues and climate change. It can cause a range of symptoms, including depression. In 2018, surveys conducted in the United States found that between 21% and 29% of Americans said they were "very" worried about the climate. This trend has led to a rise of "good grief" therapy groups and eco-chaplains. Our host, Dr

Trees have been described as the "lungs" of the Earth. Besides shading us on hot days, trees store carbon, create diverse habitats, and beautify our Earth. However, while carbon offsets to plant trees are going in popularity, recent studies suggest that we don't have the right kind of trees or enough of them to meet these lofty goals. On today's show, our host, Dr. Katherine Johnson, will discuss how trees are helping utilities reduce energy usage, but the best approach is to leave trees alone

More than 200 companies are failing to meet their net-zero pledges because these pledges are unrealistic and unattainable. Air New Zealand was one of the most recent companies to admit that it can't meet these goals because "there are so many levers outside of our control." But the real issue is there is no agreed upon definition of "net zero." How is "net" calculated, and are those estimates accurate or simply aspirational?

The road to net zero is paved with social (in)equality. The shift away from fossil fuels will likely bring about an additional financial burden on people from disadvantaged backgrounds, who lack the resources to adapt to renewable technologies. Other inequities include that lower-income households may find home charging installation unaffordable, and those in multifamily housing are less likely to have access to charging at home.
