The Renewable Energy Podcast

By Andrew Crossland and David Kirby

Renewable energy troubadour Dr. Andrew Crossland and general layman David Kirby navigate the waters of all things green with scant regard for structure, logic, or linear streams of consciousness. Dave plans on doing a song at the end of every episode, but who knows how long that will last.
