EP05 - Energy Speaker Series - Building Science

A practical review of how Alaska's building rules connect energy costs, public facilities, and clean-energy goals.

Alaska's building-energy debate lands best when it moves from big-picture vulnerability to the rules that decide what actually gets built. Chris Rose frames REAP's Renewable Radio around a familiar but urgent case: heavy reliance on fossil fuels exposes Alaskans to volatile oil…

EP06 Alaska's Railbelt Electric Grid - Part I

A grounded, detail-rich look at the dispatch and governance choices shaping Alaska's Railbelt electric grid.

Renewable Radio turns to Alaska's Railbelt grid, which runs between Homer and Fairbanks, for a clear look at why REAP has made electric grid reform such a central priority.

EP04 - Energy Speaker Series - Tidal and Hydrokinetic Energy

A practical look at tidal energy in Alaska, where currents, ice, and field testing matter most.

Renewable Radio gives Alaska's tidal and hydrokinetic energy question a grounded, field-facing treatment: can devices survive strong currents without being clogged or struck by ice?

EP07 Alaska's Railbelt Electric Grid - Part II

A procedural, practical guide to how Senate Bill 123 shapes Rail Belt grid governance.

Renewable Radio frames the Rail Belt grid as a governance problem, not just an engineering one. Host Greg Stegall continues his conversation with Chris Rose about how Alaska's utilities could coordinate through an electric reliability organization shaped by Senate Bill 123, with…
