In @TransitionShow Ep. 273, Tom Brown @nworbmot shares a new model which shows that by 2030, solar and batteries could supply 90% of electricity to 80% of the global population for less than €80/MWh. It would not only be cost-effective, but also likely cheaper than gas. https://xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/episode-273-can-solar-and-batteries-power-the-world/

In Ep. 271, Lauri Myllyvirta rejoins us to tease apart the complex picture of China’s energy transition and the trajectory of its emissions. Listen and learn why China’s total CO2 emissions have been slowly falling for the past two years even while it’s building more coal-fired power plants than ever. https://xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/episode-271-china-update-2026/

In Ep. 267, former IEA Director Nobuo Tanaka shares his perspectives on the global realignment into “petrostates” and “electrostates” and how US policy is pushing Europe and developing countries closer to China. We also discuss his bold proposals for an Asian electrostate alliance, Japan’s investment in Alaskan natural gas, and reshuffling Japan’s grid assets. https://xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/episode-267-japan-petrostate-or-electrostate/

In Ep. 265, @chrisnelder returns to Paris to interview Tim Gould about IEA's flagship World Energy Outlook 2025 report. We clarify what its scenarios actually mean (and what they don’t), and find the global energy transition very much still going strong. https://xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/episode-265-world-energy-outlook-2025/

To conclude our miniseries on Alaska, we bring you our longest episode yet, chock full of geeky goodness!
Ep. 258 explores the major utilities along the Railbelt, the state's only transmission grid. From co-ops that act like IOUs, to the state’s largest population center facing impending blackouts due to declining gas supply while being surrounded by vast renewable resources, Alaska is a unique context for the challenges and opportunities in the energy transition.
