The Last Word with Matt Cooper · The Last Word On The Environment: The Climate Act · 6 Aug 2026 podcast

And you see, for example, chains like Circle K, the fuel chain, they are now putting electric chargers into all their stations.

And it's only a matter of time before some of the laggards like Texaco here in Ireland do exactly the same, because the infrastructure is there, the fuel stations are there, and many of those could be modified to support EV charging pretty readily.

Yeah, this is some crazy stuff yet again from the US and this is the FCC, the Federal Communications Commission, approving a project to launch a satellite that is going to bounce light back onto Earth.

It's really from the ranks of Crazyville.

In fact, the FCC themselves are

Yeah, very much.

They published a document, Frank, called Spectrum Abundance for Weird Space Stuff.

And we have, for example, our friend Elon Musk proposing to put, if you don't mind, a million satellites into orbit for data centres flying over our heads.

So at the moment, apparently, this appears to be a gigantic play to try to shake down as much sort of space-related investment as possible and presumably to jack up the share price until it collapses again.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper · Fish In Irish Waters Move North Due To Climate Change · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

Yeah, good evening, Matt.

This is to do with the warming waters around the Irish coastline.

And of course, we've seen the phenomenon of marine heatwaves at one stage in recent months.

60% of the world's oceans were regarded technically to be in heatwave conditions.

I suppose the thing to understand about the oceans is that change happens there much more slowly than on the land surface.

But...

It also means that the marine species are highly adapted to very specific conditions.

And for example, the temperature, the water temperature is the critical factor for the species, the type of fish that we would have, the herring, the mackerel and so on that would swarm in Irish waters.

And essentially what's happening is as our waters are warming up,

it is becoming inhospitable for those species.

And they do what all species have ever done since time immemorial.
