This is an easy to listen podcast, that goes DEEP! It’s dealing with the real issues in the energy transition. But it’s usually very fair, balanced, evidence based and then BOOM! Every once in a while a super angry rant from Jigar Shah! And I live for that.
As a woman in the energy space I always looked forward to listening Katherine’s take on current events. She was a big draw for me to this podcast and will be deeply missed. I hope her replacement fills her shoes and brings a new perspective that rivals her positivity and insight. In the meantime best of luck to Katherine on her retirement.
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’m old enough to remember the oil shocks of the ‘70’s and the profound effects they had in reducing demand for fossil energy - leading even to an oil glut in the 80’s and the capping of thousands of wells in the US during that time.

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.

Three industry veterans dissect the energy transition with sharp analysis of business models, technology breakthroughs, and market shifts. Recent episodes consistently explore grid modernization, data center power dynamics, and policy incentives, while case studies and live pitches reveal how capital, risk, and regulation shape investments in clean energy. A notable angle is the blending of policy, finance, and technology insight, often featuring live event promos and sponsor content that ties industry dialogue to real-world projects. Listeners are likely to get deep, evidence-based perspectives on how the energy system evolves, who profits, and what decisions will move projects forward—or hold them back.
