Here Comes the Sun…and Storage: Renewables and the AI Boom
Episode 9
Saturday, 20 December, 2025
The clean energy transition isn’t just about swapping fossil fuels for renewables, it’s about building a new energy system built for the future. In this episode, we speak with Tim Montague, solar developer, clean-tech advisor, and host of The Clean Power Hour. We’ll discuss the realities of the energy transition, the current state of battery storage, the growing issue of solar panel end-of-life and recycling, and the environmental footprint of mining the critical minerals needed for EVs and batteries. The conversation also tackles how AI is reshaping energy demand and grid resilience, and what it will take to build a cleaner, smarter power system for generations ahead.
