About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy system and the urgent need for more resilient energy solutions.
When Russia targets Ukraine's energy system, it's not just turning off the lights — it's creating conditions for nuclear disaster. Each attack forces a rethink: more solar, more batteries, more distributed, harder-to-hit systems. For Ukrainians, this isn't about climate — it's about survival. What can the rest of the world learn from this?
