S5: Ep 12 - We're Back! Why We Disappeared, Big Life Changes & the Future of Balcony Solar

After a little break, Green Queens is back (for a bit...!) In this catch-up episode, Imogen and Abbie explain where they've been, why life got in the way, and what the future of the podcast looks like. Imogen opens up about leaving her role at Everything Electric after years of presenting and leading content and what it feels like to finally slow down. Along the way, the conversation wanders (as Green Queens conversations often do!) through holidays, books, careers, nervous systems, and some genuinely exciting sustainability news—including the rise of plug-in balcony solar, why Germany is leading the way, and why these tiny solar panels could transform clean energy for renters. 00:00 Welcome back to Green Queens 02:41 Where have we been? 03:49 Imogen leaves Everything Electric 08:55 Looking back on the clean energy journey 12:00 Burnout, rest and finding balance 14:45 Holiday highlights and travel chat 17:07 Sustainability news catch-up 18:38 Balcony solar explained 22:18 Why Germany is embracing plug-in solar 22:58 EV updates after leaving the industry 26:27 Why the future of transport still excites us 30:22 How we stay informed without doomscrolling 32:29 What's next for Green Queens 💚✨ Join the greenest girl gang around—hit subscribe, give us a like, and share with a friend! 📆 Join us for new episodes every Friday 🎥 Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@GreenQueensPod 🫶🏼 Follow us on instagram: @green.queens.pod - https://www.instagram.com/green.queens.pod 🎵 Find us on tiktok - Green.queens.podd #GreenQueens #Sustainability #Climate #ClimateAction #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #BalconySolar #PlugInSolar #EnergyTransition #ElectricVehicles #EV #SustainableLiving #EcoLiving #ClimatePositive #EnvironmentalPodcast #GreenPodcast #CleanTech #NetZero #ClimateNews #EnergyNews #EverythingElectric #BurnoutRecovery #CareerChange #WomenInSustainability #WomenInClimate #Podcast #SustainabilityPodcast #GreenLiving #Renewables Hosted on Acast.
