After more than 40 years in the energy industry, Katherine Hamilton is retiring. And that means she’s also retiring from the podcast after a decade behind the microphone.
In this farewell episode, Katherine shares insights into a career that spanned... more
This year, the energy industry changed faster than we could talk about it. We collectively said more than 225,000 words on this show — some of them were informed takes, some speculation. So how did they age?

I just rediscovered you guys were back together (too bad for us that Katherine is leaving). From reading Stephen Lacey in his Greentech Media days, through The Energy Gang to this podcast, I’ve found just what I need to stay up to date for my job. And it’s way more fun!
I was very happy when the three of you got back together for Open Circuit. I’ve been a listener since your Energy Gang days and continue to enjoy that show as well.

I have been an avid listener of this podcast and its predecessor for over a decade. This is the place for the real time pulse on the energy industry, every week. Katherine, Jigar, and Stephen provide a balanced trifecta of hot and thoughtful takes. The industry would be directionless without them.
The most qualified opinions from the best qualified people in the energy and renewables sector. Delivered with gusto.
