Sparking Interest Podcast
Reasons to Hate Energy and One Reason to Not | Ep 31
Okay… so… we need to talk.
This episode — Episode 31 — should not exist.
It wasn’t planned. It wasn’t scheduled. It wasn’t even supposed to be possible. Episode 30 was meant to be the grand finale — thirty reasons to hate energy, a nice round number, a tidy wrap-up, a neat little bow tied around a two-hour rant that already went longer than the average congressional hearing on renewable subsidies.
But here’s the thing: Kaden doesn’t stop.
Somewhere between Reason 20 and a tangent about haunted houses, wind therapy, and the inevitable rise of radioactive desert monuments, the episode grew too powerful. The file size alone threatened to consume the servers. Listeners started reporting heat output from their headphones. The waveform looked like a small earthquake. We had no choice — we had to split it.
So… sorry. Truly. From the bottom of our overworked power grid, we apologize.
Welcome to Episode 31 — Part Two of Thirty Reasons to Hate Energy: the sequel that shouldn’t exist, the continuation nobody asked for, and the one that breaks the laws of both math and thermodynamics. This is the overflow episode, the spilled coffee of podcasting, the unintended byproduct of letting Kaden talk about energy unsupervised for more than four hours straight. Here, you’ll find the final ten reasons to hate energy. And at the end of it all, after every rant, tangent, and meltdown, Kaden finally delivers what he promised: the one reason not to hate energy. A single spark of optimism buried under an avalanche of sarcasm, science, and regret. We wish we could say this was planned. We wish we could say this is the last time. We wish we could stop releasing energy-themed episodes like sequels to a movie that should’ve ended three films ago. But here we are. Episode 31. The episode that shouldn’t exist, powered entirely by caffeine, spite, and the fundamental inability to let go of a metaphor.
So… plug in, tune in, and forgive us.
This one’s an accident — but an educational one.
