Episode 55: 100,000 Subscribers and Just Getting Started

We just crossed 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. In this milestone episode of The Clean Energy Edge Podcast, Russ Bates reflects on how the podcast started, why it was created, and what this community has built together. This wasn’t launched with a growth strategy or viral plan. It started with a simple goal: bring clear, fact-based conversations to the energy industry — cutting through misinformation around clean energy, fossil fuels, EVs, and energy policy. After decades in fossil fuel power generation and now working in clean energy, solar, storage, and EV infrastructure, Russ shares why this platform exists, how it has evolved, and why clarity matters in conversations about the global energy transition. Thank you to the 100,000 subscribers who made this milestone possible. Here’s to the next 100K.
