In our final episode of 2025, host Alex Wolfe welcomes chemical engineer and author of Power Up: An Engineer's Adventure into Sustainable Energy, Yasmin Ali for an extensive discussion on how energy shapes our everyday lives, even when we barely notice it.

Using stories from her book, Yasmin explains how energy moves from source to socket, why we take electricity and hot water for granted and what really happens behind the scenes of power stations, pylons, pipelines and batteries.

Wolfe Power Club thanks you for your contribution and support this past year. We will be resuming the season on January 7th next year with many more big discussions from the energy industry!
