James breaks down the ongoing American EV culture wars, why they feel stuck, and how much is political theatre vs. real-world data.

We're off this week for the holidays so we're playing our Patreon bonus episode from a month ago because we think it has some great stories in it.

The hosts dig into the latest numbers showing EVs gaining traction globally—and why the economic case keeps getting harder to ignore.

A look at why countries are hoarding minerals like lithium and nickel, what it means for future supply chains, and who's preparing well (and who isn't).

Brian brings up Rivian's unexpected new gadget—a "smart" bike helmet—and the hosts try to figure out why an EV truck company is branching out.

A discussion about why corn farming is causing more climate trouble than most people think, including fertilizer emissions and long-term soil issues.

The hosts explore ideas and innovations that reduce nitrous-oxide emissions, improve soil health, and make food systems more sustainable.

Wrapping up with the Finnish energy-storage breakthrough that stores heat in giant silos of sand—cheap, renewable, and surprisingly effective.

Back next week with a new show!
