The Power Hungry Podcast with Scott Tinker
A deep dive into energy, spoken in English.
Here is a high level discussion with two of my favorite energy thinkers, Robert Bryce and Scott Tinker.
The program is called the Power Hungry Podcast: Great guests and timely energy information.
It’s an hour of civil discourse with two of the very best documentarians about the global trinity of energy, economic development, and environment. A Google search of each will reveal the depth of their knowledge.
