Can Miliband Clean Up UK Energy AND Lower Bills, Or Is Net Zero Over? | Fully Charged Show Podcast 06/30/2025

Can Miliband Clean Up UK Energy AND Lower Bills, Or Is Net Zero Over? | Fully Charged Show Podcast In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen Bhogal sits down with Ed Miliband, the UK's Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. Miliband is on a mission to transform Britain into a clean energy superpower by 2030, aiming to cut bills, create jobs, and enhance energy security through zero-carbon electricity - despite being dubbed a "net zero zealot" by some newspapers.... They delve into the ambitious target of 95% clean energy by 2030 and explore the huge challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Ed discusses the government's current actions, the politicisation of climate action, and how they plan to bridge the gap between long-term goals and immediate benefits for households. When will those bills really start to come down?! This episode is sponsored by Duracell Energy!

Why Oil & Gas Might Hold the Key to Geothermal Energy...| Fully Charged Show Podcast 06/16/2025

Why Oil & Gas Might Hold the Key to Geothermal Energy...| Fully Charged Show Podcast Could we power the entire world with clean energy, 24/7, just by tapping into the heat beneath our feet? According to Jamie Beard, founder of Project InnerSpace, the answer is a resounding yes! She believes we could produce 70-75% of global electricity and 100% of its heat using geothermal energy – without burning a single fossil fuel. While less than 1% of the world's energy currently comes from this incredible source, Jamie reveals we're on the cusp of a "geothermal renaissance." Even more surprisingly, this renewable powerhouse has an 80-90% skill set overlap with the oil and gas industry, making it uniquely positioned to scale rapidly with existing talent and tools. In this episode of the Everything Electric Show, Robert Llewellyn sits down with Jamie to unlock the immense potential of next-generation geothermal. From her legal background to working on oil rigs, Jamie's journey highlights how oil and gas expertise – and even fracking technology – could be the key to bringing clean, reliable geothermal energy to homes and industries worldwide.

Are Batteries Bad for the Planet? Zero Emission Mining with NMG | Fully Charged Show Podcast 12/09/2024

Are Batteries Bad for the Planet? Zero Emission Mining with NMG | Fully Charged Show Podcast In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, we shine a spotlight on the unsung hero of lithium-ion batteries: Graphite. As the key component of a battery’s anode, graphite plays a critical role in powering EVs and energy storage solutions. However, with over 95% of the world’s graphite refined in China, diversifying the supply chain is more important than ever. We delve into how companies like Quebec-based Nouveau Monde Graphite (NMG) are stepping up, promising carbon-neutral graphite—an ambitious goal for an industry reliant on mining and refining raw materials. The company, backed by supply agreements with GM and Panasonic, is working to determine whether the battery supply chain can truly go green and make sustainable mining a reality. Joining us is NMG CEO and founder Eric Desaulniers to explore these challenges and opportunities.
