Doubters of the transition have always been quick to share doom scenarios about grids losing stability once wind and solar supplied a large share of their power. In the Energy Transition Show’s early episodes, our host Chris noted how defenders of the status quo “have claimed for decade…

Over the summer, the IEA projected that carbon emissions from the world’s power sector are on track for a new record in 2026. Electricity demand is expected to grow 20% faster than it did a year ago, and this year’s gas shock has pushed some countries to use more coal.
But we’re …
When we first created the Energy Transition Show in 2015, solar generated about 250 terawatt hours worldwide. That was roughly as much electricity as California used the same year. A decade later, as the energy transition moved ahead, solar generates more than ten times as much, matching the Europe…
Transportation continues to electrify, as a quarter of the world’s new car market in 2025 was electric, both battery and plug-in hybrids. And this area of the energy transition is already showing up in metrics that matter for the climate. Recent data shows that running a battery electric car …
The energy transition calls for more electrification. As transportation, heating, industry, and now power demand from data centers all crowd the interconnection queues, the US needs more transmission than it has built in generations. Even energy transition skeptics can agree on the wires.
But agre…
Millions of Americans are sweltering under heat domes this summer, with temperatures soaring to record highs when weather systems stall. The grid feels the strain of these events too.
This extreme heat often creates a precarious situation that pushes electricity demand to levels never seen before,…
The Statistical Review of World Energy 2026 is out, offering the first complete look at global energy data for 2025. The report’s 75th edition, now presented in partnership with the energy think tank Ember, reveals a year in which demand for every form of energy hit a new record high.
But gr…
Right now, Great Britain has more than enough new solar projects waiting to be connected to its distribution grid to meet its 2030 renewable energy target.
Italy and Poland could reach half their 2030 solar targets just by connecting the solar already sitting in their queues.
Across just eight Eu…
It’s taken a very long time to arrive, but next-generation geothermal power is finally becoming a commercial technology. Even though the virtues of geothermal have long been known and appreciated as clean, low-impact, and capable of running continuously, the few conventional geothermal instal…
This is the third and final part of our miniseries about South Africa’s energy transition, based on Chris’ travels there in September and October of 2025. The first part was Episode #264, in which we heard how the end of apartheid precipitated reform of the country’s energy system…
