The Politics of Energy Transition feat. Robert Bryce

I am joined by Robert Bryce, an American author, journalist,
filmmaker and podcaster in a wide ranging discussion of the
politics of the world's unfolding energy transitions. 


Energy illiteracy is epidemic and basic concepts such as power
density and scale are absent from most policy discussions. We
discuss the impacts of fracking on the nuclear renaissance and
the mounting resistance to wind and solar farms in rural America.


Big decisions lie before our government representatives and the
technological choices they make will be hugely consequential not
only to limiting climate change but also the health and stability
of the commons in the form of the network that underlies all
modern networks, the grid.
