The Energy Transition Show with Chris Nelder

Many utilities are actively working against the energy transition and abusing their monopoly power, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

How well do integrated assessment models reflect the trajectory of the energy transition, and how can we make their scenarios more useful to policymakers?

What motivates people to accept or reject a proposal to build a new renewable energy facility in their communities?

How National Grid ESO, Great Britain’s transmission network operator, is enhancing its grid to ensure stability while integrating more variable renewable power.

What does the IPCC Working Group III report say about the energy transition pathways and probabilities to limiting warming to 1.5 and 2°C? Part 2 of 2.

How can the West stop funding the war on Ukraine by reducing their imports of Russia’s fossil fuels and minerals, and accelerating the energy transition?

Could thermal storage meet much of the demand for energy in a high-renewables future, and radically reduce the expected need for battery storage?

Has the world ever transitioned from one fuel to another as quickly as we need to do this transition in order to meet our climate targets?

How much and what kinds of storage will be needed as variable renewables become more dominant on the power grid, and when and where will it be needed?
