Our take on The Big Switch podcast

Dr. Melissa Lott offers a deep dive into the pressing issue of climate change and the swift transformation needed in our energy systems. The Big Switch uniquely combines historical context, topical analysis, and current events to illuminate the road to climate solutions. The third season specifically examines Europe's energy predicament, provoked by Russia's attack on Ukraine and consequential energy supply shortages. It evaluates the impacts of these shocks on Poland and Germany's energy transitions, questioning if the crisis would accelerate or decelerate Europe's move towards clean energy and the implications for the globe. The Big Switch is an education podcast by Dr. Melissa Lott.
