The podcast also delves into the conflicting narratives surrounding electric cars and their future impact. Additionally, it touches on topics like the discrepancy between EV sales headlines and reality, the political career of Joe Manchin, and controversies in clean energy and heating.

The podcast explores the use of AI in energy, including improving weather forecasting, solar forecasting using machine learning, managing electric cars and grid resources, modernizing the grid, and the value of electric vehicles in the utility industry.

This is a partner podcast episode, brought to you by Intersect Power.The U.S. grid is in trouble. It's old; it's really hard to build new transmission lines; and that is limiting the amount of wind and solar we can add to the system.Sheldon Kimber, Founder and CEO of the clean energy developer Intersect Power, says the grid is “broken.” But he has a plan to get around those constraints. In this episode, produced in partnership with Intersect Power, Sheldon Kimber talks with Stephen Lacey about creative strategies for building renewables that don't rely on overhauling the grid. If you want to read more about Sheldon's vision on how this strategy will play out, he has an op-ed published at Latitude Media. Intersect Power is a clean energy company bringing innovative and scalable low-carbon solutions to its customers in global energy markets. The company develops, owns, and operates some of the world’s largest clean energy resources – providing low-carbon electricity, fuels, and related products to customers for U.S. consumption and international export.

The podcast discusses the challenges of inflation in clean energy, including the rising costs of wind, solar, and batteries. It explores the impacts on emerging sectors like offshore wind and hydrogen. The International Energy Agency's declaration of peak fossil fuel consumption is also discussed. The effects of inflation on the clean energy industry, including equipment costs and canceled projects, are examined. The impact of Basel III on renewable energy financing and the need for policy reforms are emphasized. The World Energy Outlook report's projections on the energy transition and progress in the clean energy sector are explored. Other topics include a battery electric locomotive, AI safety, drones, AI, Bitcoin, climate tech, and inflationary factors in the US.

The industrial sector is set to overtake power generation and transportation as the biggest source of planet warming emissions in the US by 2035, according to The Rhodium Group.The sector’s impact is even greater on the global scale. Industry around the world accounts for more carbon dioxide emissions than all forms of transportation combined – largely driven by steel, cement, and chemicals.There are a lot of ways to decarbonize industry, but the pathways are much less clear than for electricity or automobiles. In this episode, we’re joined by Jeff St. John, Maria Galluci, and Julian Spector, who’ve been exploring the varied paths for cleaning up the products that are foundational to the world around us.Stories we mention in this episode: Canary Media: Cleaning up steel, cement and chemicals is tough — and entirely doable Rhodium Group: Taking stock of US emissions Canary Media: ‘Electrowinning’ could help win the race to clean up dirty steel Latitude Media: The electrolyzer market is caught in limbo Canary Media: To decarbonize cement, the industry needs a full transformation The Carbon Copy is supported by FischTank PR, a specialized climatetech PR firm dedicated to bringing meaningful results for companies in sectors spanning grid edge, solar, energy storage, battery, EVs, alternative fuels, VC and green building.
