Volts
The energy transition, explained without the press release.
About
Volts is David Roberts's newsletter on the energy transition, written with the technical depth of someone who has covered clean energy for years and lost patience with vague explainers. It digs into the actual mechanics of decarbonizing electricity, transportation, and industry.
Long-form posts and interviews cover grid policy, battery technology, and the unglamorous regulatory details that determine whether clean energy projects actually get built. It rewards readers willing to sit with complexity rather than a quick, feel-good climate headline.
