Over the next two weeks, we are challenging our long-held assumptions about energy.We’re going to take the opposite stance of an argument that we agree with. Can we change our minds?In part 1, we’re revisiting the assumption that most people do not care about energy. Most people care about convenience, lifestyle and price.

Stephen will respond by arguing that people don’t care.For your reading pleasure, here’s the article Shayle references on “flight shame” in Sweden.Support for this podcast comes from PG&E. Did you know that 20 percent of EV drivers in the U.S. are in PG&E’s service area in Northern California?
