Drawing on studies from health authorities and real-world data, the discussion reveals how wind and solar actually improve public health by reducing air pollution, cutting respiratory illnesses, and easing pressure on national healthcare systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond health, the episode also explores the economic and social benefits of renewables \u2014 from lower public spending to revitalised rural economies and new local jobs. The evidence is clear: clean energy doesn\u2019t just power homes; it powers healthier, more resilient communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen on\u00a0Spotify,\u00a0Apple Podcasts,\u00a0Amazon Music\u00a0and\u00a0others Across the world, wind and solar power are often accused of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":70020,"template":"","categories":[586],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70019","podcasts","type-podcasts","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podcasts"],"acf":{"manage_the_date":"global","selected_podcast":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/energytracker.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/podcasts\/70019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/energytracker.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/podcasts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/energytracker.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/podcasts"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/energytracker.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/energytracker.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/energytracker.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/energytracker.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
