About this episode
An encore of episode 275, featuring stories about the forces fighting offshore wind in the United States, the health benefits of cycling, Saskatchewan's decision to keep burning coal until 2050, and a listener taking the province to court over its climate policies. We also look at expiring U.S. clean-energy tax credits, the falling cost of solar, EV charging across Europe, and plenty of clean-energy developments in the Lightning Round.
Highlights:
• Offshore wind faces a growing wave of lawsuits in the U.S., with fossil-fuel interests and climate-denial groups linked to some of the opposition.
• New research finds cycling is associated with lower risks of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
• Saskatchewan plans to continue coal power until 2050, prompting legal action from climate advocates.
• U.S. homeowners face expiring clean-energy tax credits, including EV incentives.
• A thought experiment looks at what it would cost to power the electrified world with solar.
• A European listener explains how charging apps can help EV drivers find the cheapest way to charge.
• A listener takes us on an EV road trip through northern Canada with charging available along major highways.
• The Lightning Round delivers a rapid-fire look at surging solar and wind generation, batteries, EV adoption, China's clean-energy growth, air pollution, land use, and more.
The Lightning Round:
Green power surges in the UK, solar reaches new heights in Greece and the Netherlands, California batteries meet a huge share of evening demand, China's battery storage passes 100 GW, EV adoption takes off in Turkey, and a 740,000-kilometre EV proves that even the Canadian North is becoming electric.
This is a replay from a year ago — a chance to revisit an episode that shows just how quickly the clean-energy story was already changing.
