Alzheimer Risk Reduced By Cycling; Big Oil's Frivolous Suits

How Big Oil is fueling much of the legal opposition to offshore wind in the U.S.—using environmental laws to stall clean energy progress. We break down who’s behind the lawsuits, why they matter, and how they threaten America’s climate goals.

We also look at new research showing that riding a bicycle could reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, thanks to the unique brain benefits of cycling. Meanwhile, here at home in Saskatchewan, the provincial government wants to extend coal power until 2050. But one of our listeners is fighting back with a court challenge, demanding accountability and a livable future.

Plus, updates on U.S. tax credits for clean appliances and EVs, listener mail from Europe on smart charging apps, and Mark Jacobson’s thought experiment on how little it would cost to power the entire world with solar panels.

We begin with a conversation about our weekend which included musician Emm Gryner!
