  • Incredible podcast with inside knowledge

    The podcast for any non expert to learn the WHY and how we are at a breaking point - electricity prices are a voting issue now and solution is to break the peak cycle prices via storage (see Texas this past summer as best in class in America) - monopoly utilities have no choice - invest accordingly

  • Right?!

    I enjoy the subject matter & dialogue. Don’t always agree and that is a good thing. That means I’m on a learning track. But, I have to take a break and calm down after every 25th time a certain person ends his sentence with “right?” To say it another way, the 21st century form of the Valley Girl up note detracts from his incredible knowledge and expertise. My frailty won’t impact my rating, however, the show gets 5 stars
