@octopus.energy doesn't sell customers a complicated tariff structure. It sells an outcome: '70% off charging your EV at night.' That's it. Eric Davids explains why that framing is the whole trick, on the new episode. www.energyvsclimate.com/octopus-ener... #EnergyVsClimate #OctopusEnergy

There are an increasing number of hours in Alberta where electricity is literally free to buy on the wholesale market. Sara Hastings-Simon explains how that works, and why most people never see it, on the new episode. www.energyvsclimate.com/octopus-ener... #EnergyVsClimate #AlbertaEnergy

Remember those 'please conserve energy' texts Alberta sent out? Octopus Energy does something similar in the UK, except customers get paid, sometimes just a few $. @shastingssimon.bsky.social explains the difference on the new episode. 🎧 www.energyvsclimate.com #EnergyVsClimate #AlbertaEnergy

During the UK's recent heat wave, @octopus.energy paid its customers £100K+ to power down for a few hours through just a text message and a price signal. Eric Davids of Octopus explains how, on the new episode. 🎧 www.energyvsclimate.com/octopus-ener... #EnergyVsClimate #OctopusEnergy

"Canada is 2% of emissions — why bother?" @davidkeith.bsky.social: he's 0.01% of Canmore's garbage problem. By that logic, why not throw his trash on the street? The collective action argument runs both ways. New ep out now. www.energyvsclimate.com/evc-vs-the-i... #ClimatePolicy #ClimateAction

Your red-eye causes more warming than the same route in daylight. Contrails reflect sunlight during the day — at night, only the heat-trapping effect remains. Commenters called it nonsense. @davidkeith.bsky.social calls it basic physics. New ep out now. #EnergyVsClimate #Aviation #ClimatePolicy

Boreal forest = built to burn. Add SoCal-level heat + a 2-year drought and it's not a fire, it's a firestorm. John Vaillant (Fire Weather) on the 2016 Fort McMurray disaster — and why it wasn't a one-off. 🎧 www.energyvsclimate.com/s7-bonus-fir... #EnergyVsClimate #Wildfires #ClimateChange

Solar: 64 TWh in 2011. ~2,700 TWh in 2025. That's 43x growth. Solar + wind beat natural gas globally for the first time in April 2025. A commenter called it "minuscule." @shastingssimon.bsky.social has thoughts. New ep out now. #EnergyVsClimate #SolarEnergy #EnergyTransition

Nuclear waste: risk projections 100,000 years out, barely above background. Battery waste: lead acid contamination harming children today. @davidkeith.bsky.social argues comparing the two isn't disingenuous, it's just honest analysis. New ep out now. www.energyvsclimate.com/evc-vs-the-i...

@shastingssimon.bsky.social, who drives an EV in Calgary winters, draws a distinction that's worth keeping in mind: "doesn't work" & "works with lower range" are not the same thing. Norway has the harsh winters and the highest EV adoption on earth. #EnergyVsClimate #EVs #EnergyTransition

Canada's Darlington SMR is supposed to deliver in under 5 years. That claim is now a five-to-one scotch bet between @davidkeith.bsky.social and Ed. Either way, @shastingssimon.bsky.social wins. New ep out now: www.energyvsclimate.com/evc-vs-the-i... #EnergyVsClimate #NuclearEnergy #SMR

We're making 2050 climate decisions through a 2026 security lens. The only solutions that stick are ones where security, decarbonization, and cost all align. Energy vs Climate co-host Ed Whittingham, closing the latest episode. #EnergySecurity #ClimatePolicy #EnergyTransition

Toronto Climate Week FOMO? We’ve got you covered. We’ll be livestreaming the town hall on the Energy vs Climate Podcast YouTube channel so you can tune in from wherever you are. Today | 4:30pm ET / 2:30pm MT / 1:30pm PT Catch the livestream at www.youtube.com/live/afwfo5l...

Previous energy crises had no clean alternative at scale. This one does. @energyvsclimate.bsky.social co-host @shastingssimon.bsky.social ran the solar numbers, and for the first time, they're genuinely material at a global level. #SolarEnergy #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy

Storage has made more progress in 5 years than solar made in 15. Solar + storage is now delivering firm 24/7 power below coal costs in real markets. The Economist's energy editor, on the latest Energy vs Climate: www.energyvsclimate.com/mapping-the-... #EnergyStorage #EnergyTransition

Cooking fuel prices tripled in India. Samosa vendors are going home. The Economist's energy editor just got back from Delhi — and the picture isn't abstract. New Energy vs Climate episode: www.energyvsclimate.com/mapping-the-... #EnergyTransition #GlobalEnergy #ClimatePolicy

"Small modular reactors are not small. Let me be really clear about that." A CANDU = 700 MW. An SMR = 300 MW. The name is doing a lot of work. New episode: www.energyvsclimate.com/nuclear-opti... #NuclearEnergy #SMR #EnergyPolicy

Prof. Jason Donev started his career opposed to nuclear. The more he learned, the more his view shifted. New @energyvsclimate.bsky.social episode: does nuclear energy actually work in Canada? 🎙️ Full pod: www.energyvsclimate.com/nuclear-opti... #NuclearEnergy #ClimatePolicy #CanadianEnergy

Nuclear is having a global moment. Canada's story is more complicated. New episode with Prof. Jason Donev on costs, SMRs, and why the physics may be solved — but the politics aren't. 🎙️ Link in thread ↓ #NuclearEnergy #EnergyTransition #CanadianEnergy

The energy shock is here — and not everyone's feeling it the same way. May 5 · 4pm ET: David, Sara & Ed go live with The Economist's Vijay Vaitheeswaran to map what this means for the transition. Real talk. Register free 👇 uchicagogroup.zoom.us/webinar/regi... #EnergyTransition #ClimatePolicy

"It's not a philosophical thing for Danielle Smith or Trump. They are mercenaries — they have the intellect to know better." John Vaillant on denial, the courts, and who's actually leading on climate now. New Energy vs Climate ep. #ClimateChange #ClimateDenial #FireWeather #EnergyVsClimate

In the 1950s, climate science was nonpartisan. Republicans and Democrats both took it seriously. John Vaillant on what happened next — and why he calls it "the greatest betrayal in the history of the human race." New Energy vs Climate ep. #ClimateChange #ClimateDenial #FireWeather #EnergyVsClimate

12% humidity = Death Valley in July. Put that into the boreal forest after a 2-year drought and you don't get a fire. You get a firestorm. John Vaillant on the new Energy vs Climate episode. www.energyvsclimate.com/s7-bonus-fir... #Wildfire #FireWeather #ClimateChange #EnergyVsClimate

@shastingssimon.bsky.social "If you wanted a recipe for a global recession: impose a bunch of tariffs, then have an oil price shock." Are high gasoline prices the best EV ad? Full episode www.energyvsclimate.com/iran-oil-cli... #OilPrices #EVs #EnergyTransition #IranWar #ClimateChange

A single AI server node draws 30–50 kilowatts of power. That's the equivalent of you plus 10–15 neighbours' daily energy use at the same time. MIT's Vijay Gadepally on the real energy cost behind every prompt you send. 🎙️ #AIEnergy #ClimateChange #EnergyVsClimate

Thanks to everyone who made it out to our live show last night at Avatar Innovations! We had a great discussion on Alberta's Energy Transition & Economic Diversification and a fantastic Q&A to wrap things up. Was great to meet so many listeners in person! See you again next time!

"Why do we need incentives for carbon removal?" Short answer: The market won't do this on its own. Ed Whittingham explains the policy & economic realities behind scaling CDR. Full episode: www.energyvsclimate.com/new-episode-... #CarbonRemoval #CDR #ClimatePolicy #ClimateChange #NetZero
