  • Energy prices

    “Data centers pushed prices down according to a study funded by the Electric & Power Industry”… get the hell outta here with that BS. Your credibility is gone even printing that trumped up fake stat. We are not stupid. You people need to stop treating us like we are. Done with this rubbish podcast.

  • Idk what planet this show covers...

    Here on Earth 1, the economy very OBVIOUSLY SUCKS. The experts and segments are so out of touch that it's almost unlistenable. If you can't see that a LOT of folks are struggling then you really should dig deeper.🫤

  • Too negative

    Used to love this podcast, but it’s become too depressing and feels like it’s just pushing an agenda anymore. Too bad

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gas prices are headed back up
Q: With market volatility and geopolitical risk, how should investors think about decarbonization bets like World Energy's Insetting?
Markets are increasingly recognizing the value of decarbonization strategies that are anchored in real, continuing demand from international corporations; the role of insetting is to integrate lower-carbon solutions into core business activities, reducing risk over the long run.
Gas prices are headed back up
Q: SAF is currently a tiny share of aviation fuel; how do you view the long-term potential vs. the challenges?
SAF is a small fraction now, but the industry is framed as a long-term bet where ongoing investment, corporate decarbonization goals, and policy incentives could gradually expand its role despite today's volumes.
Gas prices are headed back up
Q: Can we talk geopolitics here for a second? What effect has the president's war on Iran and all of that had on you guys?
In the near term, higher conventional energy costs can make decarbonization solutions relatively more attractive, but the broader point is that dependence on fossil energy remains unsustainable and the shift toward cleaner, domestic energy is ongoing regardless of policy cycles.
A "starter" home for $1 million?
Q: What lessons might we learn from the 1970s oil shocks for today's economy?
Meg Jacobs explains that the shocks revealed vulnerabilities in American dependence on foreign oil and showed that political and military actions can override traditional economic logic, suggesting today's policymakers should consider energy independence and resilience as ongoing priorities.
Fed eyes sluggish wage growth
Q: How does this business model balance costs and mission?
She describes charging families hourly and focusing on time efficiency to keep the project affordable, while using a database to match available houses with buyers, combining altruism with a practical revenue stream.
