28:25 | If you dominate EV battery manufacturing, you dominate electromobility. China is building one gigafactory after another, while Europe struggles with political uncertainty, lack of know-how, and large-scale projects that end up delayed or cancelled.
12:33 | China is often held up as leading the way in renewable energy, but it’s actually the USA that has most enthusiastically embraced battery energy storage to help stabilize the electricity grid.
18:59 | China’s version of the industrial revolution has lifted hundreds of millions out of abject poverty, but it is still held up by some as the greatest modern sin against humanity and our climate. So, how accurate is that allegation?
6:49 | Cities around the world are feeling the effects of climate change. Unfortunately, they don’t always have the right infrastructure to handle its impacts — which is one reason why cities are beginning to reimagine urban design.
13:14 | Climate change doesn’t care about ideological divides, says policy analyst and China expert Changhua Wu. Here’s what she says the US can learn from the progress China has made on the clean energy revolution.
8:11 | Concrete emits a ton of carbon. Here’s how we get it to net-zero.
11:39 | Why is China appointing thousands of judges to environmental courts and training prosecutors to bring cases to them, even if it means suing the government?
50:07 | America Ferrera journeys to Illinois to shed light on the US’ controversial dependence on coal plants. Sigourney Weaver explores China’s explosive economic growth and the impact it is having on the environment on a global scale.
9:21 | In 2020, China’s President Xi Jinping pledged that China would both peak its emissions by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2060.
15:50 | China is installing more renewable energy than any other country in the world, but they also added the equivalent of one large coal power plant to their electricity grid every single week in 2020.
25:54 | India and China will most likely be key to the success or failure of our transition to a sustainable future. They’re now jostling for geopolitical power too.
12:31 | Smart grids delivering renewable energy across continents will require extremely long electricity transmission distances. China is tackling the issue by switching from AC to DC power and ramping up the output to 1.1 million volts.
15:44 | The New Silk Road is quite simply the most ambitious social and civil engineering project since the Marshall Plan. But is President Xi Jinping’s vision one of a green utopian future or will his plans cause even more climate chaos?
12:18 | Which way will China go in the future, and how will it affect the global environment? Data scientist Angel Hsu describes how the most populous country on earth is creating a future based on alternative energy.
17:51 | The Jimmy Dore Show undres over Donald Trumps CO2-boble.
1:39:15 | Two major political goals are animating change in China’s energy sector: the goal of peaking carbon dioxide emissions on or before 2030 as part of China’s international climate commitment and the drive for energy market and pricing reform.
