  • Not about building smarter markets

    This podcast got lost a long time ago. It was supposed to be a buildup to the exchange launch and then that got delayed by 3+ years. David is a good host, but the podcast has been meandering aimlessly for years. Like a lot of podcasts they ran out of ideas and started recycling guests.

  • Promoting “hydrogen economy”

    I can’t believe how ignorant the guests on this carbon obsessed show are.

    I listen just to hear their doom and gloom, along with their useless carbon credit schemes and “green hydrogen” garbage.

    The fact most guests don’t even mention nuclear as a solution is a complete and total embarrassment to this podcast and its host.
