13th Episode of “Pump Up Your Energy”

A New Episode of the “Pump Up Your Energy” Podcast is Now Live on YouTube

Our guest is Andriy Konechenkov, Chairman of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association (UWEA).
This conversation is not about a “green dream,” but about war, money, energy security, and why wind is a resource that cannot be occupied.
“All wars start over energy resources. But you don’t have to fight for the wind—it’s just there.”

In this episode, we discuss:
🔹 Why wind energy in Ukraine was demonized for years, and who benefited from it.
🔹Is it true that “wind turbines kill birds,” “make too much noise,” and “ruin community life”?
🔹Why missiles cannot destroy distributed generation.
🔹Why wind is not just about electricity, but about jobs, the economy, and independence.
🔹How much wind capacity Ukraine has lost due to the war, and how much is being built right now.
🔹Why the future of energy lies in decentralization, not giant power plants.
