A new year! A new season! We're switching things up, focusing in & improving on what we learned from our podcast in 2021. 

In this season Herman & Jason talk about what life would be like if energy wasn't an issue. Could we have electric planes that could fly us around the world... what would the timelines be for that?. Would oil & coal become a thing of the past?! What would be the social and economic effects of such a technological (or magical) breakthrough? 

We discuss it all & more over a cup of old brown coffee!
