The Clean Energy Show

Ford will use the vast Tesla Supercharger Network and the Tesla connectors. We explain why this is huge news. A new study has found that climate scientists, especially those that are women, are facing increasing death threats. The coal plant that exploded in Australia is getting rebuilt because--actually we have no idea why!

Programming note: June 6, Brian will be podcasting from the United Kingdom and one week later we'll be on hiatus for seven days (with a encore episode.)

Brian updates his heat pump install and learned some good news about cooling effiency.

Siemens is designing a wind turbine for the U.S. market.

Colorado ups it's EV rebate to $5,000.

Why nuclear in Georgia won't ever make up for its emissions.

UK is banning ads for greenwashing. The first culprit: an airline!

We end on The Lightning Round, a fast paced look at the clean energy headlines.

Three years ago we warned our local goverment that building a gas plant would be building a stranded asset. They didn't listen and now they say they can't meet the federal government's (and the world's) goal of net zero electricity by 2035. We roast the jackwagon Scott Moe and his oil-happy Saskatchewan government simply for being stupid.

• Note: We'll be one day late next week! Also note: New improved audio file uploaded.

Brian updates his heat pump installation in a very cold climate.

Then he switches out his Seattle Kracken hat for his new Clean Energy Show hat! Now available again in our merch shop!

Brian finds a Rewiring America ad with filmmaker Adam McKay behind the humorous commercial promoting Biden's IRA legislation.

James has to search for a new hair stylist after finding out his is a transfobic conspiracty therorist who thinks the fifteen minute city concept is going to lock him in his neighborhood. He also thinks there's not enough minerals for the energy transition. He's wrong, of course.

Plus: Solar farm building robots, Japanese automakers give their EVs names to prevent sales, and Ferrari won't give up on the combustion engine.

In order not to disturb whales and large bubble curtain is being placed around wind farm drilling operations.

A climate scientist warns the Amazon may be past the tipping point.

Lagos, Nigera gets twelve THOUSAND electric buses. 45% of auto dealers in the U.S. won't sell you an electric car. You can't call someone an enviromentalist just because they want to save the planet from being unihabitable for their grand children.

Colorado is looking to ban gas lawn mowers! Good for them. They follow California.

Speaking of California, they're looking at forcing all EVs sold in the state to be capable of vehicle to grid sharing.

3% of so-called Canadian energy is being stopped due to wild fires in Alberta.

We end with the Lightning Round, a fast-paced look at the headlines in clean energy and transportation.

Time of day pricing comes to one Ontario utlity that would result in very cheap overnight charging for your car. California has banned the sale of diesel trucks by 2036. A new solar power project has come online in China, and it’s big. The IEA projects oil displacement by 2030 is 5.3 million barrels per day. But how much of that is two and three-wheelers? More than you might think.

Electric school buses will power emergency shelters in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island.

FC Barcelona’s players chose the railway over a private jet when traveling to a recent match against Getafe CF, which plays on the outskirts of Spanish capital Madrid.

The world's biggest battery maker CATL announced a high density battery twice as good a current batteries and even good enough for aircraft. This while they debut sodium-ion batteries that have excellent cold weather performance and use less cobal and nickle. Canada gives billions to Volkswagen for a huge battery factory. Journalists at the Shanghai Motor Show are so astonished by the dominance and falling prices of EV, they ask, is there such a thing as too much of a good thing? It could lead to more congestion or roads and increased car ownership.

Crop dusting is going electric.

GM discontinues the Chevy Bolt that James just bought.

New data suggests electric school buses increase attendance for kids. In diesel buses, the air can be bad inside the bus. Children breathe in carcinogens from diesel fumes on ICE buses. Not so when you go electric. The city of Vancouver, B.C. is making it possible for film and TV productions to ditch diesel generators for location shooting. They will install power taps at popular shooting locations around the city. Plus, getting paid to bike to work, Volkswagen eliminating features from its EVs, green hydrogen standards and e-fuels. And we learn which EVs qualify for the U.S. tax credits and which don't.

We start the show with Brian telling us about how he finally mitigated dangerous radon gas from his home.

New Phillips light bulbs.

James thinks EVs are going mainstream this year.

Eight Saskatchewan residents are suing the provincial government, claiming that expanding gas-fired electricity generation violates their Charter rights to life, security of person, and equality. And to come up with a plan to get to net zero in the oil-rich province. Podcast link (Energi Media).

Why VW is not worried about E-fuels.

IRA EV tax credit list.

Green hydrogen standards.
