The KJ Show Episode 132: Purple Energy: Creating Green Energy in Red and Blue States

The future of energy in the United States isn't determined by the debate over green energy. Instead, it's the realization that both red states and blue states have invested in solar and wind power, and this partnership leads to the rise of purple energy.   On The KJ Show, our host, Dr. Katherine Johnson, will discuss how these efforts, on both sides, may affect the development of clean energy in the United States, especially as more Americans are becoming leery of renewable energy.   Please sign up for Dr. KJ's Energy Rx, a free weekly newsletter exploring these energy topics in depth. #greenenergy; #redstates; #bluestates; #cleanenergy; #windpower; #solarpower; #Republicans; #Democrats

The KJ Show Episode 131: Nuclear Fallout

In April, President Trump signed a series of executive orders aimed at revitalizing the nuclear power industry in the United States. These Executive Orders will expedite approval for nuclear power plants, reassess current regulatory and licensing requirements, and encourage the installation of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).   But what is the fallout from these new orders? Will these new orders weaken the safeguards surrounding nuclear energy, or will they unleash a new type of nuclear reactor —SMRs, which have a smaller and more flexible footprint?   On today's show, our host, Dr. Katherine Johnson, will discuss the ramifications of these orders on the energy industry (click on the following link: The KJ Show).   Please sign up for Dr. KJ's Energy Rx, a free weekly newsletter exploring these energy topics in depth.

The KJ Show Episode 130: Blackout for Renewables

On April 28, 2025,  55 million people lost power for nearly a day across Spain and Portugal. But it's still unclear what caused this major blackout. Some think it was the overreliance on renewable energy, specifically wind turbines and solar PV, while others blame "a solar flare."   Other theories poor maintenance on wind turbines and the failure of solar PV systems that serve Spain and France.   On today's show, our host, Dr. Katherine Johnson, will discuss how overreliance on renewable energy leads to a false sense of security. Spain and Portugal are just the latest examples of this, which has caused similar issues in the U.K. and Switzerland (click on the following link: https://boldbravetv.com/11am-the-kj-show/).     Please sign up for Dr. KJ's Energy Rx, a free weekly newsletter exploring these energy topics in depth.  To list the show live, click here:  #renewableenergy; #Spain; #iberia; #windturbines; #solarflare; #outages; #energystar; #turbinedeaths; #duckcurve; #UKblackout; #portugal; #inertia

The KJ Show Episode 129: The False Promises of Electrification

Electrification sounds like a good idea. Everything is powered using carbon-free sources, such as wind, solar, and hydro. But electrification isn't practical for everyone or every jurisdiction. In fact, some governments are rethinking their electrification policy as they weigh the costs against the benefits.   On today's show, Jeff Ihnen, President of MichaelsEnergy, will join our discussion on electrification. As an engineer who has worked in the energy industry for nearly 30 years, Jeff brings a unique perspective regarding the challenges facing the industry, especially the push for electrification.   Please tune into The KJ Show and join our host, Dr. Katherine Johnson, for this lively discussion.  You can also share your thoughts by calling 866-451-1451 or sending your comments to kjohnson@johnsonconsults.com.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
