The Clean Energy Show

New e-bike batteries have a special coating to resist fires. A major battery maker is touting a new formula for cold climates called "Winter Pro." It sounds like a tire. Oil is doomed as these battery makers promise a charge time of 9 minutes and 20 year life-spans. Solar canopies over cemeteries in France. Rest in electrons!

Percision fermentation dairy is already cheaper than animal dairy, sooner than even Tony Seba expected. This disruption will disrupt agriculture starting now. A flurry of misinformation followed the recent cold blast in North America. Some of that misinformation comes from governements, expecially when it concerns the power grid emergency in Alberta, Canada. Also, the refinery fog over Vancouver sickens residents, New York City is looking at replacing natural gas systems with district geothermal, the solar/battery solution for Porto Rico and the Pentagon is looking to plaster their roof with solar panels!

• Brian is in Vancouver this week and he salutes film director Norman Jewison who he has spent time with.
• Vancouver refinery incident and emergency alert.
• Killers of the Flower Moon - oil greed still exists and it continues to kill people.
• What really caused the grid chaos in Alberta during the recent cold snap.
• Uber Tesla drivers' problems in cold weather explained.
• New York district heating.
• Porto Rico virtual power plants taking off. That's when residents are part of the power grid, feeding energy from batteries charged by solar panels.
• Mail - a correction, a thank you and lement over misinformation, and a Hyundair Ioniq 5 cold weather update from Mike.
• Rooftop solar for The Pentagon.
• Nuclear News - 2023 was a net loss for nuclear power in the world and even more money is going into Sizewell C in the United Kingdom.

James argues the case against the Tesla Cybertruck and how it will end up being a distraction for that important company. Mayors of large cities have called for the end to fossil fuels. That's a good thing because a new study is telling us just how many people are dying from fossil fuel pollution.

• Cybertruck delivery event gives final details on the long-awaited electric pickup. But it's largely a disapointment.
• World mayors call for an end to fossil fuels.
• Letter: Suing the Saskatchewan government on climate inaction

Could you solve climate change with just solar panels and batteries if that's all you had? Decarbanizing Alberta's electrical grid by 2035. The Pembina Institute says you can.
