The Renewable Energy Podcast: Recent Episodes
Andrew Crossland and David Kirby
Renewable energy troubadour Dr. Andrew Crossland and general layman David Kirby navigate the waters of all things green with scant regard for structure, logic, or linear streams of consciousness. Dave plans on doing a song at the end of every episode, but who knows how long that will last.

Andrew has a dilEMMA helping his family deal with powercuts as we discuss the energy crisis in South Africa and the UK. Dave puts forward an idea he had about taking CO2 from the air but discovers from Andrew that it has many pitfalls, and the duo take an unexpected trip to paradise!
What a load of crap! The REP delve into the pros and cons of Biomass, get all nostalgic for the good old days and save the world, all in the space of half an hour, imagine that! Pro tip - hang around for the (actually impromptu) song at the end.
Desperate to avoid the worst battery pun ever, Dave and Andy enter into a discussion about the suprising way that batteries can keep the lights on. As usual, the team get distracted by a suprising choice of condiments and a mutual love of flags. But thankfully Dave finishes with a special battery themed song to discharge on the listeners...
Gravy Davey has a problem. He worries whether his love of flying can be sustainable in the future. Andy and Dave discuss this and possible solutions... #LONGLIVEHYPERLOOP!
Dave and Andrew deep dive into NZ's Carbon Zero plans, Andy takes Dave on a shopping trip and Dave does another depressing song for you. It's like the first episode but different!
The inaugural Renewable Energy Podcast episode! Andrew and Dave discuss the differences between the UK and New Zealand's energy consumption, Britain's energy crisis, Scotland's sausages and there's a song in there too. Lovely!
