Why does culture move people on climate faster than facts alone? We dig into how TV shows weave climate into their plots, a surprising study linking masculinity anxiety to climate denial, and MLB pitcher Brent Suter (aka "The Raptor") on bringing his own Tupperware on road trips.

Hollywood, Baseball, Cage Fights, and… Climate

When it comes to climate, we have the facts, but we aren’t moving fast enough. So we need to get climate education and solutions into the places where people already spend their time. Pop culture offe...

The right words don't just describe — they can cause people to lean in or shut down. We explore why "human-caused climate disruption" or "heat-trapping pollution" resonate more than "climate change." Also: How one Brooklyn organization built years of trust before asking residents to buy into solar.

If a corporation can be a "person" with legal rights, why can’t a river or a mountain? That's the idea behind the rights of nature. Now, attorneys and Indigenous leaders are pushing the idea further so that ecosystems can own themselves, like a 30-acre mountain in Colorado that now owns itself. ⛰️

Beyond the Rights of Nature: Land that Owns Itself

The “rights of nature” is the idea that if a corporation can have legal standing as a person, why can’t a river or a mountain? Thomas Linzey, one of the early architects of a legal framework for grant...

Yep, it's hot out there. Can you imagine getting through this heat wave without AC? 🥵 That's reality in places where utilities can shut off power to ratepayers who have fallen behind on their bills. This week we revisit the dangers and injustices of power shutoffs -- and one solution at work.

Dead Heat: The Danger Of Home Power Shutoffs

Summer is here, temperatures are rising — and so are electric bills. That also means many people are facing a severely overlooked issue: power shutoffs. In 2024, over 600,000 households in the United ...

Maybe bipartisan consensus isn't so hard to come by. (Check out our episode last week!) Opposition to data centers is uniting neighbors across the U.S. Their concerns? High electric bills, pollution, and water use. Is there a way for these projects to actually benefit the community and the grid?

When Your New Neighbor Is… a Data Center

Across the country, developers are racing to build huge new buildings to house computers to fuel the AI boom, creating an explosive demand for new energy. While some hyperscalers seek renewable energy...

Private property rights. Economic development. National security. While these are values commonly associated with conservative politics, they're also driving MAGA influencers to rally around solar power in a campaign dubbed "American Energy First." 🎧 Listen now 👇

Making Solar Great Again

More and more, conservative voices are making the case that the U.S. can’t achieve energy dominance without solar power. Even the leading industry trade group is changing its strategy. Earlier this ye...
