CBC radio | The solar power revolution is coming
Solar power is at the dawn of a quiet revolution. Costs are coming down fast and technology is only getting better. By 2035, solar could make up half of the world's electricity generation. So what could boundless cheap energy mean for us?

The Energy Transition Show | How the Transition Will Unfold
The energy transition is an extremely complex undertaking, with every country, company, and individual taking action in various, largely uncoordinated ways, and often in pursuit of different targets. This has led some observers to warn that the transition will be messy, and its outcome uncertain. But is that really a problem, or just another challenge to be met and overcome?
