New York just made history as the first U.S. state to officially ban fossil fuels in most new building construction, setting the stage for an all-electric future. Meanwhile, wildfire smoke is proving more dangerous than ever—scientists say breathing it can be like smoking half a pack of cigarettes a day, with staggering health and economic costs across North America. And in New York City, the NYPD now has the power to confiscate uncertified e-bike batteries in the name of safety.

We also cover abandoned coal boreholes in Australia leaking methane equivalent to thousands of cars, listener mail about ultra-cold climate 'cascading' heat pumps, and the latest in global clean energy progress.

In the Lightning Round: – Bluetti's sodium-ion power station – CATL's ultra-fast charging EV battery – India's electric vehicle targets – China's solar exports to Africa
