The Offshore Wind Podcast
- Publisher: Global Wind Energy Council
- Total Episodes: 11
Welcome to the Offshore Wind Podcast, hosted by Ben Backwell and Stewart Mullin! Offshore wind is one of the world’s fastest growing energy sources, with strong year on year growth expected across the next few decades. Many nations are banking on offshore wind to play a major role in reaching their decarbonization and sustainability targets and helping their economies recover from the COVID-19 crisis. On the technology front, turbines are bigger and more powerful than ever, offshore wind farm capacity factors continue to rise and we are seeing a surge of interest from oil and gas giants seeking to transition their businesses away from fossil fuels, as well as increased competition from the developers who have championed offshore wind from day one.New markets in Asia, the Americas, and eventually Africa, accelerated growth in Europe, the rise of floating offshore wind and increasing interest in power-to-x solutions, are creating the basis for unprecedented growth in the industry. The offshore wind podcast series looks at the issues facing the offshore wind industry today, and opportunities for tomorrow.

As the U.S. confronts climate change with a move to a new, clean energy future, what happens to those places that gave us the old energy — the fossil fuels that powered the country for more than a century? In “Welcome to AppalachAmerica,” host Jeff Young and the reporters at the Ohio Valley ReSource dig into the big questions around this energy shift: How can we move forward on clean energy when so many people fear they’ll be left behind? Can coal country come out a winner as we tackle climate change? And just what would a “just transition” look like? You’ll hear from miners making a career shift, people trying to reimagine their communities, and some of Washington’s power players on climate policy. And you’ll learn why the path to solutions to some of America’s biggest challenges run right through Appalachia.

The Truth is, It is Not Just About Decreasing Your Energy Bill. It is About Doing the Morally Right Thing. Whenever Society is Faced With the Dichotomy of What is Right and What is Wrong, 99% of the Time Humans Have a Tendency to Restructure Society to Ensure that the Morally Correct Option is Adopted. Fossil Fuels Have Exponentially Advanced Our Civilization at the Cost of Putting the Power in the Hands of a Few People. It is Time to Move Forward and Truly Give the Power to the People.’ – Nick Reitano

There is hope! The growth of solar, wind, and battery storage are quickly making the shift towards 21st century small module renewables a much more economic, safe, and clean option promoted by scientists, energy experts, and environmentalists throughout the world. Listen as the Fairewinds Crew brings you the most up to date energy news, exposes atomic risk, and conducts interviews with leading scientists and experts. We’ll keep you informed.
Living without oil – for iPod/iPhone
- Publisher: The Open University
- Total Episodes: 21
What is Peak oil? Will we ever have vehicles that produce zero emissions? The debate rages on as to when fossil fuels will eventually run out, but many scientists are in little doubt that these natural resources are limited. In this audio collection we investigate some of the methods of energy creation our society might have to rely on in the future when oil reserves decrease and academics examine a variety of different energy sources from electricity to hydrogen, and evaluate whether these alternatives offer practical solutions to a world without oil. This material is taken from The Open University Course S176: Living without oil: chemistry for a sustainable future.
Energy resources: alternative energy in perspective – for iBooks

Alternative energy sources are seen by many people as potential solutions to the many economic and environmental challenges posed by the current dominance of world energy supply by fossil and nucler fuels. Just how realistic are these hopes? This unit summarises the technical and geographic challenges posed by each alternative source. It is left to you to judge the feasiibility of imploementing these changes against the claims for ‘alternative’ solutions to global energy challenges that are regularly made. This study unit is just one of many that can be found on LearningSpace, part of OpenLearn, a collection of open educational resources from The Open University.
