It’s our 10th Anniversary! To mark the occasion, we are rejoined by @kingsmillbond.bsky.social and Daan Walter of @ember-energy.org for 2.5 hrs of deep thoughts on what the past decade of our work has been about, and what the next ten years will require. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

In Ep. 258, we explore the only transmission system in Alaska and ask why the utilities that own it are risking blackouts by remaining dependent on declining gas supply instead of transitioning to the vast renewable resources surrounding them. Our longest episode yet! xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

For Ep. 257, Chris traveled to a remote, off-road community in Alaska’s Arctic Circle to see how they are integrating renewables into the microgrid that powers the town. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

In Ep. 256, the founder of the world’s first all-electric farm, Mike Casey, explains how farmers can make money and ease grid pressures by adding solar to their farms, and how Rewiring Aotearoa are working to electrify New Zealand. This one is not paywalled so enjoy! xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

In Ep. 255, we kick off a new miniseries on Alaska by interviewing an expert in building design and construction about the best ways to put up buildings that are comfortable, healthy, and affordable in the frozen north. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

In Ep. 254, @nicolasfulghum.bsky.social joins us for a deep dive into the data in Ember’s Global Electricity Review 2025 report. Not only has the energy transition gone global, it’s accelerating so quickly that global power-sector emissions may be close to peaking. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

In Ep. 253, @mikegrunwald.bsky.social returns to the show to discuss his new book, “We Are Eating the Earth.” We focus on the bioenergy side of agriculture in this conversation, and ask if any of those solutions are truly ‘renewable’ or ‘carbon-neutral.’ xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

In Ep. 252, @gruberte.bsky.social and @jlappen1.bsky.social join us to discuss the British government’s takeover of British Steel, and steelmaking in the “mid-transition” amid the geopolitical tensions of a global tariff war. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

In Ep. 251, we conclude our 6-part miniseries on Australia with a look at how, by 2027, South Australia Power Networks will operate the first gigawatt-scale grid in the world with a 100% variable renewable energy supply. Listen in and learn how they’re going to do it! xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

In Ep. 250, Thane Gustafson rejoins us to discuss Russia’s failed opening to the West, how the sanctions against Russia have succeeded and failed, what Putin’s motivations in Ukraine are, and Russia's future as global energy transition efforts accelerate. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

In Ep. 249, we continue our miniseries on Australia xenetwork.org/ets/category... by featuring three researchers and entrepreneurs who are advancing solar technology R&D, including the “father of solar cells,” Martin Green. And it turns out CSP isn’t dead after all! xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

In Ep. 248, @iea.org analyst Heymi Bahar shares findings from their recent comprehensive report, “The Future of Geothermal Energy.” By 2050, geothermal could deliver as much power as the US and India combined consume today. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

In Ep. 247, we continue our miniseries on Australia by exploring their innovations in pre-commercial technologies, deep DER integration, VPPs and microgrids, and passive building techniques. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

Climate change need not/should not be a left/right divisive issue. Decarbonization is good for business as well as for human survival as discussed in this excellent, as always, Transition Show podcast about Australia’s progress.

Ep. 246 continues our miniseries on Australia and discusses how the government is working with the grid power sector to plan and execute its #energytransition while maintaining system reliability. They're doing it right down under! xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

This is a breath of fresh air amidst the POTUS self-mutilating anti-climate science stupidity

In Ep. 245, Julian Leslie of NESO rejoins us to discuss how Great Britain is developing a coordinated plan to evolve ALL of its energy networks toward 100% clean electricity by 2030 and complete decarbonization by 2050. World-leading, cutting-edge stuff out of the UK! xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

In Ep. 244, Professor Mariana Mazzucato @mazzucatom.bsky.social of University College London shares her insights about what makes for effective, enduring, and equitable green industrial policy. She's a true policy rock star, so don't miss this one! xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

Heat pumps are one of the cheapest and most versatile ways of decarbonizing heating. In Ep. 243, heat pump policy expert @richardlowes.bsky.social outlines how to design policies to encourage the adoption of heat pumps everywhere. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

In Ep. 242, Tim Gould of @iea.org returns to the show to discuss the insights from their annual report, the World Energy Outlook, including the implications of fossil fuel demand peaking and renewables becoming the dominant source of electricity globally within 5 years. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

In Ep. 241, we speak with Luke Ames Blackaby of @ofgem.bsky.social, the UK energy regulator, about how the agency supports the development of technologies that can help the UK evolve its energy systems to meet its decarbonization targets. Part 2 of a miniseries. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

We kick off the new year for @transitionshow.bsky.social with a miniseries on the #energytransition in the UK. In Ep. 240, we speak with Adam Berman of @energyukcomms.bsky.social about some of the UK’s world-leading efforts to meet its decarbonization goals. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

In Ep. 239, mathematician Doyne Farmer of Oxford University explains why conventional economic modeling has failed to anticipate the actual speed of the energy transition, and why using “complexity economics” can give us a much more accurate picture of it. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

The outlook for energy transition in the US may feel bleak at the moment, but Europe continues to make significant progress. In @TransitionShow Ep. 238, energy expert Jan Rosenow @janrosenow joins us to discuss the advances in Europe’s #energytransition. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

Why do governments continue to push nuclear power when it is the most expensive, risky, and slow way to generate power? In Ep. 237 (our fourth episode on nuclear power), author and professor Ramana tries to explain why. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...
