Follow Along on Instagram @Plantfuellednutrition

Welcome back to Plant Fuelled! I’m your host, Callum Weir, and today we’re diving into one of the most important, controversial, and misunderstood topics of our time—energy. From fossil fuels to renewables, from nuclear power to sustainability, we’re breaking down what really powers our world and whether the solutions we’re being sold are as effective as we think.

To help us separate fact from fiction, I’m joined by Yasmin Ali—chemical engineer, energy expert, and author of Power Up. With first-hand experience working in both fossil fuel industries and renewable energy, Yasmin provides a balanced, science-backed look at the future of power—what works, what doesn’t, and what comes next.

⚡ Are Fossil Fuels Really the Enemy? – The truth about coal, oil, and gas, their role in society, and whether they are as evil as mainstream narratives suggest.

🌱 The Sustainability Myth? – Are renewable energy sources like solar and wind power as green as they claim? What are the hidden costs?

⚛️ The Nuclear Power Debate – Is nuclear energy dangerous, or is it the cleanest, most efficient solution we’ve been ignoring?

💡 The truth about fossil fuels: Are they as evil as we’ve been told, or is there a bigger picture?
🌱 Renewables and sustainability: Are they really as green as we think?
⚛️ The nuclear debate: Safe, dangerous, or misunderstood?
🔌 Carbon footprints and real impact: What actually moves the needle on climate change?
⚡ The future of energy: What needs to happen next, and how do we get there?

🌍 The Future of Energy – What realistic energy solutions exist for individuals and governments?

This isn’t just about science—it’s about the power that fuels our everyday lives. Understanding where our energy comes from means we can make smarter, more informed choices about sustainability, policy, and the future of our planet.

If you care about the climate, energy bills, or the truth behind renewable energy—this episode is a must-listen.
