Podcasts by Paul Gipe

August 10, 2011

There are a number of podcasts of interviews on the web. While I haven't kept track of them in the past, I'll try to add links to a few here.

• Progressive Radio Network Podcast with Paul Gipe--SolarTimes editor Sandy LeonVest (www.solartimes.org) in conversation with renewable energy industry analyst, author and advocate, Paul Gipe. They address the critical need for German-style feed-in tariffs -- what he calls "Advanced Renewable Tariffs" (or ARTS) -- in the US, in order to deploy the massive amounts of renewable energy needed in the US to avoid economic, humanitarian and environmental catastrophe. They also talk about the importance of local ownership of renewable energy, the grassroots movement for "energy democracy" and "defeatism," in the face of corporate misinformation. . .
• Beyond Zero Emissions Podcast with Paul Gipe--Paul Gipe, author of 'Wind Energy Basics' talks to Scott Bilby about how the Canadian province of Ontario plans to close all its coal power plants by 2014, how people in Vermont wanting to own their own energy sources pushed politicians into instituting feed-in tariffs, and much more. And a warning for Australians: Beware FITINOS - Feed-in Tariffs in Name Only! . .
• the Watt Podcast 54--Paul Gipe is on the show talking about wind power and the roller coaster ride that it has taken since the 70s. Transcript available below. Conversation starts at the 14 min mark. Paul wrote this book, among many others . . .
• The Oil Drum: Wind Power with Paul Gipe--The World Wind Energy Conference is just around the corner and happens to be in my home town. I was flipping through the conference program and noticed a familiar name pop up quite a lot: Paul Gipe. He's written a number of books on wind power and most recently has become involved in feed-in tariffs for wind power in North America. I spoke to him a while ago about how the industry has developed. . .
