We’re destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn’t need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we’ll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.

Clean energy from re-growing resources and waste. Biomass sounds like a perfect alternative power source. Globally, at least 5% of energy come from biomass. But what does it mean if we use organic matter for fuel or electricity?

“Wood is one of the few energy sources that emits more carbon than coal.” Burning biomass allowed civilization to evolve and advance in remarkable ways, but smoke that comes as a byproduct is carbon-heavy and kills around 2 million people per year.

More and more solar panels are popping up all over the world – and it’s easy to see why: They provide clean energy at falling prices. Awesome, right? Well actually, there are also some not-so-green sides to this technology. We’ll take a closer look at three big criticisms solar energy faces and check out just how much of a problem they are.

The Biden Administration recently announced plans to open more than 250,000 acres off the California coast to wind development as part of a program to expand renewable energy nationwide.

My returning guest today is Michael Shellenberger…described by Time Magazine “as a Hero of the Environment,” also Founder and President of Environmental Progress, and best-selling author of Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All.

Today he discusses why the proposed off shore wind farm, may actually end up harming the environment.
