CleanTech Talk — EVs, Solar, Batteries, AI, Tesla

In this episode of CleanTech Talk, CleanTechnica CEO Zach Shahan gets renowned climate author and social movement leader Bill McKibben to talk about the climate change crisis we're quickly rolling into, climate grief and how to deal with it, US climate policy, rampant conspiracy theories, the great energy transition, and more! Listen and share!

FLO Chief Product Officer Nathan Yang talks with CleanTechnica CEO Zach Shahan about EV charging station design, evolution, reliability, and the changing EV market. They also talk about differences in the customer base across the EV landscape.

Rodney Hooper of RK Equity gives us an update on what's happening in the EV battery market, EV battery mining world, and with Tesla's EV battery goals.

Michael Liebreich has published a "hydrogen ladder" that tries to show where hydrogen is useful and likely to be used versus where it is useless and unlikely to be used. Chemical engineer Paul Martin and Michael Barnard discuss some of the ideas in detail here.

Michael Barnard sits down with Karsten Temme, PhD, geneticist and CEO of PivotBio. His company, founded with his long term academic collaborator Alvin Tamsir, is based on a eureka moment. They'd been analysing nitrogen-fixing microbes in soil, with the intent of inserting the genetic codes in plants. The microbes naturally fix nitrogen from the air in return for sugars from the plant roots, but that's suppressed by fertilization. But changing plant genetics was hard. Then, as they walked out for coffee one day, they asked "What if we turned off the nitrogen sensors in the microbes instead?" And now they have a million acres under cultivation and $430 million in Series D funding.

The future of transportation is electric. The future of energy is clean renewables. The future — and increasingly the present — also requires connecting these two. EDF is well on its way in this marathon into the coming decades. Listen in for more details on it all.

Jose Pontes of EAFO and EV-Volumes runs through EV sales trends and policies that influence them in several European countries. CleanTechnica CEO Zach Shahan chimes in where it might be useful or funny.
