Energy News Beat Podcast
#ENB 158 Tom Kirkman The "Climate Pope" and Ph.D. in Climate Panic Apocalypse Worrying stops by, and we cover the looming storms heading our way.
My Interviews with Tom are fun and personal. I truly respect Tom's views as he has a wealth of experiences from around the world in energy coupled with a vast mental fortitude for acquiring knowledge.
We may have been twins separated at birth, but I think he was the smarter of the two. He says just the better-looking. As a true industry thought leader, he is not an influencer. Tom is more of a knowledge provider and assumes that if you are human you can determine the best path for yourself to follow.
We both agree on many things and having fun while talking about serious topics is a way that we deal with the travesty that has befallen humanity.
Buckle up, get the popcorn, and ponder about what Tom talks about.
Tom, Thank you for your time, fun, and friendship. - Stu
