The Clean Energy Revolution podcast
In season 2 of The Clean Energy Revolution podcast, Max La Manna takes a look at the role energy plays in tackling the negative effects of climate change, and discovers how the world will be powered in the next 30 years as we work towards a net zero future that doesn't contribute to global warming.
The Clean Energy Revolution also looks at the part can we all play - as individuals, businesses and nations - to help make this happen for the good of our planet, and how we all have a role in one of the most incredible revolutions in human history.
Listen to season 2, episode 10:
How is the clean energy transition creating jobs of the future?
The transition to cleaner, greener energy means that big changes are needed to the infrastructure that keeps it flowing to our homes and businesses. So how are these changes making a difference to the workforce of today - and of tomorrow?
In the final episode of series 2, Max finds out about:
- New York’s Community Offshore Wind project, which could create up to 10,000 new jobs in the Northeast US.
- The innovation needed to ‘upgrade’ the UK’s electricity grid, and how it will lead to new ways of working in a digital age.
- Why a huge range of skills and roles - not just engineering and construction - will be essential for a successful energy transition and a cleaner future.

More on clean energy and net zero
What is net zero?
We’ve all heard the term ‘net zero’, but what exactly does it mean? Find out the real definition of net zero, why it’s different from being ‘carbon neutral’, and how it relates to the fight against climate change.
2022: Our net zero milestones
Our vision is to be at the heart of a clean, fair and affordable energy future, and in the past year we’ve achieved some impressive milestones that take us a step closer to making a net zero future a reality for everyone.
What are the different types of renewable energy?
With the UK and US aiming to reach net zero by 2050, using electricity that comes from renewable sources is essential to help reduce our carbon emissions. Find about the different types of renewable energy sources and how they’ll be used in the future.
Why is net zero so important?
The race is on to reach net zero carbon emissions, but why is it so crucial? Find out why net zero is key in tackling global warming, why we must limit the global average temperature rise to 1.5°C, and what’s being done to make this happen.
Our vision for a fossil-free future
Our vision is to eliminate fossil fuels from our US gas and electric systems, enabling the people and communities we serve to meet their heating needs without using fossil fuels by 2050 or sooner.
The journey to net zero
As the energy transition company, our role is vital in finding new and better ways of achieving net zero by 2050. Discover how we're changing the way we work to make a net zero future a reality for everyone.
Carbon neutral vs. net zero – understanding the difference
With buzzwords like net zero and carbon neutral making their way into our vocabulary, we’re becoming more informed about climate change and the steps needed to protect the environment.
How much of the UK’s energy is renewable?
With the UK aiming to reach net zero by 2050, much of the future electricity is expected to come from renewable energy. Although already part of our electricity mix, how much renewable energy are we using currently and how much more is needed?
