Transition Show @[email protected]

Our listeners are the best!

In @TransitionShow Ep. 276, we check out one of the most exciting #energytransition stories in the world: South Africa is transitioning its electricity system from a state-owned monopoly to a free market, and from coal to renewables. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

In Ep. 275, we review a report from @350 on the cost of delaying the energy transition, and see how the energy transition is helping countries limit the economic damage they are suffering from the global energy crisis resulting from the war in Iran. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

In Ep. 274, @ember_energy's @nicolasfulghum walks us through all the data in their new Global Electricity Review 2026 report. Renewables are finally pushing fossil fuels off the grid and power sector emissions are declining globally for the first time. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

In Ep. 272, @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--cheaper than gas! xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

In Ep. 272, oil analyst and journalist @Rory_Johnston explains why the Iran war has thrown the world into uncharted territory, with unprecedented high prices ahead. This episode is not paywalled, so enjoy & share widely! xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

In Ep. 271, @laurimyllyvirta rejoins us to tease apart the complex picture of China’s energy transition. Listen and learn why China’s total CO2 emissions have been falling for the past two years even while it’s building more coal power plants than ever. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

In Ep. 270 @AdairTurnerUK, co-chair of the Energy Transitions Commission in London, shares with us his wide-ranging, high-level perspective on the energy transition in the UK and the world. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

In Ep. 269, @AriPeskoe rejoins us to review Trump’s attacks on the energy transition in the US and explore the legal options for defending it. Wind farms, solar farms, coal plants, regulations,Venezuela, UN climate bodies, oh my! xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

In Ep. 268, veteran organizer @CarterLavin joins us to share some of the insights, tactics and lessons learned from his 15 years as a transportation advocate. Listen in and learn how you can help advance energy transition policies in your community! xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

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 evolving Asian grids. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

To close out a huge year, we are lifting the paywall on Episode 254 so that all can enjoy this comprehensive review of the data on the global energy transition with Ember's @nicolasfulghum xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e… Happy New Year from all of us at @TransitionShow! #lagniappe

In Ep. 265, @chrisnelder returns to Paris to interview @tim_gould_ about @iea.org’s flagship World Energy Outlook 2025 report. We clarify what its scenarios mean (and what they don’t), and find the global energy transition very much still going strong. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

In Ep. 264, we kick off a new miniseries on South Africa’s energy transition with one of its key progenitors, Professor Emeritus Anton Eberhard of the University of Cape Town, who has been agitating for power sector reforms there for over 35 years. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

In Ep. 263, @chrisnelder debates the CEO of Australian distribution utility @Ausgrid about when and whether it’s best for customers or distribution utilities to own and operate grid assets like battery storage systems. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

In Ep. 262, @nadiabahmad explains how creating a successful energy transition project depends on community engagement and the specific legal and regulatory frameworks of a place. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

In Ep. 261, Michael Jakob shares insights from his book, The Case Against Climate Doom — An Economist’s Guide to Climate Optimism, detailing the ongoing social, political, and technological climate change mitigation efforts that give him hope. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

@imdavidbryan @ember_energy @ymymilan @SamButl3r We bring facts and citations. Cite your source if you want to play. Then listen to the episode and learn why building plants does not mean they'll actually run.

@ember_energy @TransitionShow @ymymilan @SamButl3r Propaganda site - propaganda site: "China is commissioning new coal plants at a record pace in 2025, with projections expecting it to be the biggest year for new coal power capacity in a decade".

China is shifting from a coal-fuelled powerhouse to a clean electrification leader 🇨🇳🌏 Solar, batteries and EVs are growing 3x faster than 🇨🇳's economy – driving change at home & abroad. Tune in to @transitionshow with @ymymilan and @SamButl3r 🎧 xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

@the_squeezle @ember_energy @ymymilan @SamButl3r You might want to update your priors and listen to this episode, because that's no longer the case, and the coal plants are increasingly sitting idle.

In Ep. 260, @ymymilan and @SamButl3r of @ember_energy detail how China has become the undisputed global leader in the energy transition, and is helping developing countries to decarbonize far more rapidly than the economic powerhouses of the West. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…

It’s our 10th Anniversary! To mark the occasion, we are rejoined by Kingsmill Bond and Daan Walter of @Ember for 2.5 hrs of deep thoughts on what the past decade of our work has been about, and what the next ten years will require. Don’t miss this! xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…
