About the show

There is so much to be angry about, if you are a clean energy guy. Every day, so many things that happen around the world make me angry when I look at them with lenses colored by the climate change chaos unfolding everywhere around us. And I am especially angry because I know we can solve the climate change crisis if we were only trying.Each week, I will share with you a few topics that struck me and that I was very angry about – and this will generally have to do with climate change, solar or wind power, plastic pollution, deforestation and reforestation, environmental degradation, wildlife, the oceans and other related topics.

Forget everything you’ve been told about the painfully slow pace of climate action. Instead, a quiet rebellion is taking root. The Angry Clean Energy Guy breaks down the potentially monumental shift from April’s alternative climate summit held in Santa Marta, Colombia, where more than 50 countries bypassed the stagnant UN COP illusion to form a real coalition of the willing, one dedicated to actually dismantling the fossil fuel empire from the ground up.The Angry Clean Energy Guy also looks at the impressive numbers hitting the grid: clean power has now officially covered 100% of global electricity demand growth, while battery storage has become fastest-growing energy tech in human history and a key enabler of the transformation in heavy transport, where electric trucks are rapidly wiping out diesel's market share.Finally, the Angry Clean Energy Guy shines a light on the dirty shadow war Big Tech is waging against carbon accounting watchdogs. As tech giants scramble to feed the massive AI boom, they are panic-signing fossil gas deals behind closed doors while aggressively bullying climate organizations to accept cheap, fake paper certificates. It’s a raw, uncompromised look at an economic war that fossil fuels are losing on the ground, no matter what the establishment wants you to believe.

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on the historic turning point of 2025: the definitive end of the fossil fuel growth era. With clean power effectively meeting every single unit of new global electricity demand, the legacy energy system is actively hollowing out from within. This episode breaks down the spectacular rise of “Anytime Solar” driven by battery costs cratering 45% in just one year, and how this transition permanently dismantles the strategic chokeholds of regions like the Strait of Hormuz. Escaping the dying fossil fuel cartel for cheap, abundant renewables is no longer simply a climate goal, but the ultimate national security imperative.

Hostages to the Barrel: Fossil Fuel Dependency is a National Security Suicide Note.We’ve reached Episode 100 of the Angry Clean Energy Guy podcast, and frankly, there is nothing to celebrate. We are 14 days into a planetary-scale disaster as Israeli and American attacks on Iran trigger a massive disruption of the Persian Gulf energy supply. From hundreds of millions of Indians unable to cook dinner to airlines canceling thousands of flights and governments in Thailand and Vietnam begging people to work from home to save fuel, the "choke point" is no longer a theoretical risk; it is our reality. The Angry Clean Energy Guy breaks down the sheer lunacy of our continued addiction to fossil fuels to show that if your country's energy depends on fossil fuels, you are not a sovereign state; you are a hostage. Expect an acceleration, around the world, of efforts to build the renewable-powered, high-compute future we actually need.

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on "Sovereign AI" and the recipe with three ingredients each country needs to achieve it. Plus a special focus on the state of Sovereign AI in South-East Asia and why these nations (though not only these nations - indeed most nations) need a radical pivot: A stand-alone Minister of AI; a large build-out of data centers at home; and critically, a tsunami of solar, wind and storage to power this new brain with the only fuel that makes economic and security sense. The risk if they don't? Becoming vassal states to the algorithm.

Real climate action isn't happening at the UN Climate talks—it’s happening everywhere else. So, are the UN climate summits a waste of time? What is their actual purpose? Should they be reformed or simply shut down? The Angry Clean Energy Guy breaks down what you need to know about the UN's COP conferences and highlights examples of the massive, inexorable climate momentum building outside the negotiating halls.

The Achilles heel of AI and AGI is electricity. By 2030, new data centers require $6.7 trillion worldwide, based on current market data, to keep pace with the demand for compute power. Not much, however, will be built without a massive scale-up of solar, wind and batteries. The Angry Clean Energy Guy on why we should expect an acceleration of renewables deployment around the world, as everyone eventually wakes up to the fact that nuclear will take 20 years to deliver, gas turbines are virtually unavailable through 2030, and new coal is finished everywhere except in China and India.

Forget "energy transition". We are in the midst of an energy TRANSFORMATION, completely upending how we live on a global basis. We are on our way, for the first time in the history of humanity, into the era of over-abundant clean energy to deliver much cleaner air and oceans, healthier lives, so much less waste and so much more efficiency than the fossil fuel era. Off you go go into the dustbin of history, age of oil
