There is an amazing Volts podcast episode (with David Roberts) about how pellets should have never been included in the UN carbon accounting rules - especially since this industry is not only terrible but completely financially unsustainable without those credits.  It shouldn't exist!

Yeah, I really love his podcasts. I've learnt so much about all sorts of things I never would have come across otherwise.

I owe him a great deal -- I learned so much from reading his long treatises at Vox when I first started on the energy beat. His podcast has incredible reach. For years, I was reporting on issues around energy building codes. It wasn't getting much traction. He had me on his podcast and -- boom -- I had loads of people reaching out to me to say they'd heard me on Volts.

I’m flattered! Happy to be of service. Thanks for listening and for all the kind words!

Oh!  I listened to that episode last year!  I never even made the connection until right now.   That episode was the first time I thought of the infrastructure required for gas and how electrification will actually make gas so much more expensive for an ever decreasing group of payers.   It's legitimately fascinating stuff.   I'm so glad you shared this.  I'm going to have to relisten to that episode.  Thanks!
