    A Grab Bag With Vox's David Roberts Jul 27, 2018
    Show notes

    This week, David Roberts, a staff writer at Vox, joins the gang to talk about a wide range of topics in the news.

    How would a good carbon tax work? Are we fooling ourselves thinking Republicans will ever support one?

    In the absence of a carbon price, is 100% renewable energy good politics? Is it good policy?

    Should we bail out nuclear? Can renewables fill in the gap created by closing nuke plants?

    What should we be hopeful about?

    We’ll spend the second half of the show talking about electric buses. Jigar’s company, Generate Capital, is deploying $200 million for electric bus leases. Are we reaching a tipping point for transit?

    The Energy Gang is brought to you by Mission Solar Energy, a solar module manufacturer based in San Antonio, Texas. Mission Solar's high-performance solar panels have the highest testing ratings among any North American manufacturer in the market. Learn more about Mission's high-efficiency modules.

    The Billion-Dollar Crash of Better Place Jul 12, 2018
    Show notes

    Dozens of companies across solar, batteries and biofuels have imploded over the years. But it's hard to match the spectacular implosion of Better Place five years ago.

    Better Place rose to fame in 2007, pulling in nearly $1 billion of venture capital by promising to put millions of cheap electric cars and battery switching stations on roads around the world. It fell nearly as quickly into bankruptcy after a series of poor decisions, market twists and bitter internal disputes.

    A new book on the company's history, Totaled: The Billion-Dollar Crash of the Startup that Took on Big Auto, Big Oil and the World, uncovers lots of engrossing details on Better Place's quixotic mission to revolutionize electric vehicles.

    On this week's Energy Gang podcast, we're talking to author Brian Blum about the Israeli EV company's rise and demise. "When you're an entrepreneur of any size, being able to change and to iterate is going to make your company a success. And Better Place really didn't do that," said Blum.

    Blum will also talk about his personal experience with Better Place's car made in collaboration with Renault.

    Later in the show, what does Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick mean for environmental and energy law? We’ll look at the record of Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

    The Energy Gang is brought to you by Mission Solar Energy, a solar module manufacturer based in San Antonio, Texas. Mission Solar's high-performance solar panels have the highest testing ratings than any North American manufacturer in the market. Learn more about Mission's high-efficiency modules.

    Fantasy Sports for Energy Nerds Jul 05, 2018
    Show notes

    Like fantasy sports? Listen to our deep decarbonization draft.

    The Energy Gang is break this week for the July 4 holiday. We'll be back next week.

    In the meantime, we're offering up a re-run from The Interchange.

    In this episode, Shayle and Stephen choose their rosters of nine technologies to decarbonize the global economy. The goal: find the best resource mix to keep global temperatures below 2 degrees Celsius.

    • The draft has nine rounds. The “team” resulting from each person’s picks will need to stand on its own.
    • Each pick must be a unique technology. For example, “energy efficiency” is not a pick, but “LED lighting” is.
    • Technologies with major subsets must be picked separately. For example, rooftop solar and centralized solar are two different picks.
    • The existing technology mix will stand. (We don’t need to pick “transmission & distribution" in order to have electricity.)
    • The time horizon will be through 2050.
    • The winner will be chosen by listeners.

    If you like what you hear, subscribe to The Interchange anywhere you get your podcasts!

    The Energy Gang will be back next week.

    We Have a Gas Problem Jun 28, 2018
    Show notes

    A new peer-reviewed study in the journal Science gives us a clearer picture of the climate impact of natural gas. According to researchers, methane leakage across oil and gas operations in the U.S. are 60 percent higher than government estimates. Put another way: the methane leakage from oil and gas has the same warming effect over a 20-year time period as all America’s coal capacity in 2015.

    Natural gas has been vital to lowering power-sector carbon emissions. Are methane leaks reversing that progress? We'll provide some context.

    Then, we'll talk about how GE and Siemens are grappling with dramatic changes in demand for gas turbines. Both companies are de-emphasizing their gas businesses, while accelerating investments in renewables and efficiency. How will these power giants evolve?

    Watt It Takes: How a NASA Roboticist Built a Groundbreaking Solar Tracker Jun 19, 2018
    Show notes

    Leila Madrone was constantly looking for creative ways to use robots. In the mid 2000's, she co-founded a music group called Ensemble Robot, which featured robots that played music.

    "I had this great passion to use robotics to have meaning in the world," said Madrone. Later, Madrone worked for NASA's intelligent robotics group.

    Then she caught the solar bug: "Solar seemed like where the most possibility was for the future."

    She teamed up with Saul Griffith, an expert in self-replicating machines, to start Sunfolding. It started with a seemingly simple idea: Solar trackers move solar panels over the day to create the most energy. But they’re made of heavy, expensive components. What if you could develop a cheaper, more efficient tracker using premium plastic materials and the power of air to maximize energy production?

    With that idea, Leila built Sunfolding’s AirDrive technology that combines the functionality of motors, gears, dampers and batteries into a single component primarily composed of air.

    In this edition of Watt It Takes, Powerhouse CEO Emily Kirsch interviews Leila Madrone about her path from music-making NASA roboticist to solar-tracker CEO.

    Watt It Takes is a live interview series produced by Powerhouse in partnership with GTM. The conversation was recorded live in Oakland, California.

    Electrify Everything: Rethinking Home Performance May 17, 2018
    Show notes

    There’s a new phrase bouncing around energy circles: Electrify Everything.

    This week, we talk to Nate Adams, a home performance expert whose personal mission is to rip gas meters out of homes and move us closer toward full electrification. As he’s learned from experience, it’s not easy.

    The electrification of homes may be getting easier in California, however.

    In the second half of the show, we’re going to tackle California’s new building codes. Starting in 2020, most new homes will have to come with solar panels on the roof. And there are new incentives for electric space heating and water heating – a very big step toward electrification of everything.

    The codes have created a very strong reaction, both positive and negative – and we’ll look at both sides.
