  • Greenwashing Chevron

    Enjoy the subject of this podcast but the messaging is very pro-fossil fuels which is apparent by their sponsor chevron 👎

  • Good overall

    The spoiled milk in my fridge is more qualified to run the EPA than Zeldin.

    I like the content of this podcast, but I don’t trust its content or editorial decision-making based on the long-lasting sponsorship by Chevron, so listen w a boulder of salt.

  • Avoids certain ideas

    Look, I get it’s a “leans left” podcast sponsored by Chevron but they seriously do everything they can to avoid talking about the cleanest, safest form of energy we currently have access too: Nuclear Fission.

    They talk about fusion more than fission and fusion is currently still a pipe dream. If you ACTUALLY care about the environment discussion Nuclear MORE and recognize that it is not fossil, it is not renewable - it is BETTER!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A federal gas tax holiday could be coming. Will it matter?
Q: Can you define what a gas tax holiday is and why it's politically tricky?
A gas tax holiday would suspend or temporarily reduce the federal gas tax for a set period, with the idea of lowering pump prices, but it's politically tricky because it involves budgetary trade-offs, potential impacts on highway funding, and it requires bipartisan support in a highly polarized Congress.
How the Data Center Coalition is responding to growing backlash
Q: What about the potential moratorium on data centers?
Moratorium discussions reflect a broader need to understand what data centers do and why the infrastructure is necessary; a moratorium could halt critical digital services and national competitiveness unless carefully designed with safeguards.
How the Data Center Coalition is responding to growing backlash
Q: Is the data center industry paying the full cost of the power it uses?
Yes, the industry asserts it has historically paid its full cost of service and seeks regulatory structures that reflect cost causation, with contracts and tariffs that ensure data centers fund their own energy needs without shifting costs onto other ratepayers.
How the Data Center Coalition is responding to growing backlash
Q: What is the biggest misunderstanding about data centers right now?
There is a broad misperception about the role of data centers; they are essential digital infrastructure that enable everyday life, but the relationship to energy prices is complex and not solely causal, requiring clearer data and context.
White House adviser Agen on Venezuela, Iran, high energy prices and more
Q: How did Chevron figure into these discussions and what was the tone of conversations with major players?
Conversations with Chevron highlighted their ongoing earnings and accelerated production, with a broad consensus that the major players are moving quickly toward contracts, driven by positive momentum and the new licensing environment.
