After two decades of energy analysis & punditry, I conclude that most readers & listeners are attracted to technology stories, because they feel like they understand them. So we have hype cycles around fracking, hydrogen, nukes, etc.

But the things that actually matter--where the real #energytransition happens--are not technology stories at all! They're process and regulation and legislative stories... that bore our tech-obsessed audiences.

It's a real conundrum.

@chrisnelder maybe it is an opportunity for several true-crime style podcast series? First Energy, FPL, and KyMEA are rich with content and characters.

What say you @amywestervelt ?

@waltbaldwin @chrisnelder @amywestervelt I know Ken Paulman at @energynewsnetwork is working on the Ohio story, aiming for a podcast format I believe

@bslotterback @waltbaldwin @chrisnelder @amywestervelt @energynewsnetwork We are indeed talking with a major outlet about this but nothing is for sure and nothing I can share right now.

Meanwhile ideas and suggestions are welcome, I can be reached at paulman at fresh-energy dot org.
