The Energy Transition Show with Chris Nelder

Energy researcher Jonathan Koomey rejoins us to review the major stories we have covered over the past year and see how the energy transition has progressed.

Regulatory capture is rife in Texas, and it explains a lot about how the losers of the energy transition have rigged the state’s systems in their favor.

Customers are adopting distributed energy resources (DERs) like EVs and rooftop solar systems, but utilities are slow in accommodating them. Lorenzo Kristov, an expert in grid architecture and wholesale market design, advocates for a decentralized grid. The podcast explores the need for power markets to evolve, the distinction between customer cited and distribution utility connected resources, building resilience and energy justice, and the installation of microgrids in San Diego with renewable energy sources.

What do regulators and governments need to do differently to lead the energy transition?

Why does so much media focus on unlikely, pessimistic climate scenarios when our progress should make us optimistic about combating global warming?

Simon Evans of Carbon Brief reviews the highlights of the UK’s latest policy proposals, including how the government plans to meet its emissions-reduction goals.

This podcast provides an update on India's energy transition, focusing on its coal, solar, and wind power. It discusses the challenges and opportunities in the solar sector and highlights India's strategies for a just transition. It also explores the challenges in power generation, per capita energy consumption, financing for solar projects, and India's approach to renewable energy.

Why has West Virginia denied the reality of the energy transition and clung to coal for so long, especially when it’s against their own economic interests?
