This podcast episode explores two different topics: the remarkable growth of solar energy and its potential impact on the global economy, and the changing perception and rising popularity of champagne, particularly grower champagnes. The growth of solar energy is driven by its scalability and decreasing cost, with the potential to reduce emissions and stabilize international relations. However, concerns about Chinese dominance in solar panel production are raised. On the other hand, the perception of champagne is evolving, with a focus on smaller champagne houses and unique viticultural practices. The rise of grower champagnes reflects a trend in taking wines more seriously and valuing site-specific releases. The podcast also discusses the impact of being an early bird or a night owl on individual success and productivity, highlighting the benefits and drawbacks of both chronotypes.
