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 . I agree but how have we made it so hard to tell stories about people? Good, bad ugly, people are interesting and energy transitions can be gripping to watch, even when they are about villains.

@GodsoeWilliam True enough. Not really a format I want to follow for our show, but it definitely works for a handful of others I could name.
