For decades, the biggest barrier to climate action hasn't been a lack of solutions - it's been misinformation. From organized doubt campaigns in the 1980s to viral myths about EVs and renewable energy today, deliberate narratives have shaped public opinion and slowed progress. In this episode, we trace the evolution of climate misinformation: how denial became delay, how the playbook adapted to social media, and why local opposition fueled by fear-based messaging is stalling wind farms, solar projects, and offshore installations across the country. If you've ever wondered why so many people believe things about climate and clean energy that simply aren't true, this is the episode that connects the dots.

The grid is more than wires. It is a living system that is shifting from coal to cleaner energy, while facing new pressure from AI and data centers. In this episode, we break down how the grid works, how the fuel mix is changing, and why misinformation about reliability keeps getting in the way. We also look at the rising demand from AI, the strain on interconnection queues, and the role of microgrids and storage in building a more resilient future.

Oil didn’t become the backbone of global transportation because it was the best option. It became the default because we built our entire world around it. In this episode, we trace how oil took over mobility, from the first electric taxis in 1897 to the rise of gasoline, highways, aviation, and global shipping. We explore how fracking reshaped the industry, why oil still dominates planes and freight, and what electrification is changing today.

We also tackle one of the most common EV fears: “What happens when the power goes out?” and explain why the question misses the bigger picture about how our transportation system really works.

If you’ve ever wondered why oil became king, and how electricity is reshaping the future, this episode peels back the layers.
