Ahead of 2023, we look back at some of the biggest stories we covered on Climate Cast from 2022.

This was the year we saw solar energy become the cheapest form of electricity in history and Gabe Chan from the University of Minnesota broke down what it could mean for us moving ahead towards a clean energy future.

Both the sun and the wind changed the way we make climate-friendly energy this year. Eric Brunner, with the University of Connecticut told us how wind projects are actually helping rural economies.

And we took Climate Cast into the field this year! We visited the home of TV News legend Don Shelby who gave us a look at how he built his super energy efficient house in Excelsior.

We also discussed the proliferation of EVs in Minnesota at the Minnesota State Fair.

And in the biggest news of all, the biggest climate progress bill in history became law. Prominent climate scientist Michael Mann shared his thoughts on how this can move climate progress forward.

What a year! Who knows what climate science, news and solutions we will be covering in 2023.
