What with climate change accelerating and US politics falling apart, it’s pretty grim out there. Yet alongside these doom loops, somewhat anomalously, something good is happening: the transition away from fossil fuels to clean, carbon-free energy is underway, and it is accelerating every day. That transition has become an enormous, sprawling meta-story. It spans the entire economy, from heavy industry to tech to retail. It’s unfolding on every level of government, from local zoning boards to the federal government to international treaties. It involves technology, politics, policy, psychology, even philosophy. It’s a lot to track. Volts is a free, twice-weekly newsletter and podcast hosted by climate journalist David Roberts that features interviews with the policy makers, business leaders, activists, and scientists leading the clean energy revolution. Each episode is a deep dive on a critical topic in the race to build a brighter, cleaner future. Subscribe for free at volts.wtf.
