Chapter 3: You Are What You Emit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A dinner-table comment about beef burgers and carbon footprints sent me down a research rabbit hole — and it turns out food and agriculture account for roughly a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions, more than every car, plane, and ship on the planet combined. This episode breaks down what John Doerr's Speed & Scale gets right about fixing the food system, where the peer-reviewed science pushes back, and the two changes that actually move the needle on your plate — no guilt trip required.
Chapter 2: The Grid Is Everything (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Electricity is a quarter of global emissions — and it's also the fastest-changing sector on the planet. Solar costs have fallen by 90% since 2010. A wind grid in Denmark that sometimes runs on more power than it needs. And a very real gap between "the technology works" and "the grid can actually carry it." We get into what's driving the clean electricity transition, who's currently paying the health cost of the grid we have now, and what's standing between here and there. Works Cited Doerr, John
Chapter 1: Electrify Transportation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gas engines waste 80% of their energy as heat. EVs waste maybe 10-15%. That math broke my brain — and it's the entry point into episode one of our Speed & Scale mini-series, where we dig into John Doerr's plan to electrify transportation by 2035. Spoiler: the tech is basically solved. The grid, the minerals, the charging infrastructure, and who actually gets to afford any of this? Very much not solved. We've got battery costs down 97%, a Shenzhen bus fleet flexing on the whole planet, 3.6 millio
Power Play: Renewables vs. Fossil Fuels (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Remember watching gas prices blow past $5 a gallon in spring 2022? That wasn't a local problem — that was a war on the other side of the planet, reaching straight into your wallet at the pump. This week we're laying the foundation for something big: a brand-new 10-part series digging into Speed & Scale, John Doerr's data-driven climate action plan. But first, the basics — what actually separates renewable from nonrenewable energy, what each one costs the planet and our health, and why energy ind
Greenwashing Playbook (opens the original)
Read excerpt
That green label on your cleaning spray, your shampoo, your favorite fast-fashion haul — does it actually mean something? Or is it just really good marketing? This week on Talk Earthy to Me, we're breaking down greenwashing: where the term came from (it started with a hotel towel card), why it's exploded into a real legal and societal problem, and how some of the biggest brands in the world — Kohl's, Walmart, Colgate-Palmolive, KLM, Shell — have gotten caught making claims that didn't hold up.
