As a climate nerd who has learned so much from David Roberts , it was a huge thrill to be on Volts.
It's time the climate world understands what's going down in the fashion industry. (Spoiler alert, it's bad and getting worse.) Solutions are out there, but we need your help.
Long-durational thermal storage is coming.
The world's largest thermal storage project is underway in Finland with a capacity of 90 GWh, enough to meet the heating demands of a medium-sized city for up to a year.

Today on Volts: Fashion! If you're like me, you probably don't think about it much, but the sector has high (& rapidly rising) carbon emissions. I talk with Maxine Bédat of the New Standard Institute about where those emissions come from & how to reduce them.

Loved this episode. IMO, fast fashion has played a key role in the degradation of clothing quality, and on top of that, it's not great for the environment. One thing Gen Z got right was making thrifting more mainstream.
