Today, Matt Matern speaks with Leah Qusba, CEO of GoodPower, a nonprofit working to win public support for the clean energy transition. They talk about moving the energy conversation away from sacrifice and toward abundance, where clean energy means more jobs, lower bills, and an economy that works for everyone. Leah shares GoodPower's polling with NORC at the University of Chicago, which found about half of Republicans still support large-scale solar, rising to roughly 70% when it's tied to lower

What can 25 years of observing the same watershed teach us about groundwater? Can intensive pumping make groundwater deeper in valleys than on hills? Can decades of depletion be reversed by just a few exceptionally wet years? And how does fertilizer applied at the surface end up contaminating groundwater tens of metres below?Professor Shekhar Muddu joins host Veena Srinivasan on the Water Data Podcast for a deep dive into the Kabini Critical Zone Observatory and what decades of field measurements

On this week's episode, Kyle sits down with Brad and Marsha to discuss their 25th Anniversary trip to Hawaii and what agriculture looks like on the islands.

Your phone, your laptop, the servers running the AI model you asked a question this morning: all of it starts as rock pulled out of somebody's land. Following the previous episode of Panic With A Purpose, Nhi and CJ go upstream from water into the minerals powering our technologies - lithium, cobalt, copper, iron - and ask who ends up carrying the cost of each option, and who gets to decide that. Europe is mining at home now in the name of sovereignty, which turns out to mean new permits on ...

Ask an intro geology class what the most abundant element in the crust is and, year after year, the answer comes back "carbon." It doesn't make the top eight. That gap between what feels right and what the planet is actually made of is where this lesson lives. Chapter 2 of the Camp Geo audio textbook starts with the layered Earth — crust, mantle, and core — and why Chris's peanut M&M (with a caramel injection for the liquid outer core) beats Jesse's apple. Then the chemistry of each layer...

Can CytoGro + Hydretain really reduce irrigation water use in turfgrass? In this video, I examine the science behind cytokinins, plant growth regulators, and Hydretain to determine whether these products actually improve turfgrass water-use efficiency and drought tolerance—or whether the claims exceed the evidence.#Turfgrass #Hydretain #CytoGro #Irrigation #WaterConservation #TurfScience 📌 https://www.gofundme.com/f/TurfgrassEpistemology Thank you for being part of this community and for

Republished Episode - I wanted to resurface this episode because positioning is everything, and it's a great overview of how it works.Right now you are being bathed in radio signals from about 35 satellites, each one 20,000 km away, and every one of them is weaker than the noise floor of the receiver trying to hear it. That is GNSS, and it is the only technology on Earth that can tell you where you are in an absolute sense. Sandy Kennedy runs applied research for autonomy and positioning at

New York Times best-selling author and former forester Peter Woolleben, shares insight on the complex communication and interconnectedness of trees in forests.

I chat with Mark Ellison of Grandad Farms in Emmett, Idaho, about how a health-driven search for better food eventually led him to start raising his own chickens, pigs and laying hens.Mark started with a borrowed patch of ground and a few hundred meat chickens. Today, Grandad Farms is raising animals on pasture, developing corn-and-soy-free feed, working toward organic certification and trying to build a farm to guide people to know exactly how their food was raised.  We get into the

Dr. Frits Byron Soepyan joins Angela Wheeler and examines the long-term history of atmospheric CO₂ and Earth’s temperature. He explains why modern CO₂ levels are low compared with much of geological history and discusses CO₂’s role in plant growth and global greening. He also explores historical temperature records, including the Little Ice Age, and argues that temperature changes cannot be explained by CO₂ alone.

In the latest edition of the Al-Attiyah Foundation Podcast, we are joined by Harry Tchilinguirian, Group Head of Research of the Onyx Capital Group. A prominent global oil markets analyst and commodities strategist, he is widely recognized as a leading expert in oil swap derivatives, price formation, and energy macroeconomics The questions addressed by Mr Tchilinguirian in the podcast include: What does the term “energy security” mean to you? How vulnerable is the global energy system to a p...

Insuring our homes used to be a given. Today, it’s increasingly a luxury that more and more can’t afford – if it’s even available at all. Climate change is wreaking havoc on the insurance industry as rising sea levels, severe weather, and other impacts threaten our biggest assets – our homes. In this episode, we asked an insurance expert, Ben Keys, will we be able to protect our homes in the near future? Ben Keys is the Rowan Family Foundation professor of real estate and finance at the...

293: Author and agroecologist Liz Carlisle has spent years documenting farmers who are building food systems around diversity, resilience, and cooperation rather than extraction. She challenges the idea that we must intensify industrial agriculture in some places in order to “save” nature somewhere else, pointing instead to thousands of years of human history in which people have grown food as part of functioning ecosystems. Liz offers a hopeful picture of what becomes possible when we design

Just 30 minutes from Portland, Tualatin Valley is Oregon's underrated wine country — home to 40+ wineries, one of the state's most ethnically diverse food scenes, tax-free shopping, and a 21-mile paved trail past a giant wooden troll. On this shared episode of Big Blend Radio's "Food, Wine & Travel Show," presented in partnership with the International Food Wine and Travel Writers Association (IFWTWA), Sylke Neal-Finnegan, VP of Communications and PR at Explore Tualatin Valley, gives us a

Holly Alpine spent a decade at Microsoft, co-founding the company's 10,000-strong employee sustainability group and running programs for data center communities. Then she discovered something that made her leave: the company was signing contracts explicitly designed to help fossil fuel companies extract more oil and gas, faster and cheaper, using AI. Now she's leading one of the only campaigns in the world working to expose what she calls the most underestimated climate threat of the AI

Is local lake decline the result of the Brazos River Authority selling off even more water, or is classic Texas summer heat to blame? Tune in as we discuss where the water is going, what would happen if we quit providing it, and what is causing the spike in usage. When you’re done, check out these articles:What will lakes look like in two months if they don’t get rain and our late summer heat continues to cause high water supply losses due to evaporation? The reservoirs are feeling the

Alleen could only put together a story like this because she's stayed on the beat for a decade, building relationships and hunting for documents. At the 10-year anniversary of the Standing Rock movement, she gives us a look at why it's important for democracy for journalists to go deeper than breaking news.

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.What if the most sophisticated engineering process in existence never required an engineer?In this episode of Cosmos, we begin with a provocative thought experiment: if we eventually discover exactly how nature transformed nonliving chemistry into the first building blocks of life, could we reproduce—and perhaps accelerate—that process in the laboratory? Could we eventually guide chemistry toward self-replication, evolution, and even
