  • Good show, but I so miss the Energy Gang!

    I started my career in clean energy in 2017 and LOVED the Energy Gang! Stephen, Katherine, and Jigar’s analysis on a weekly basis of the latest news stories and trends in the energy sector were not only insightful and informative, but also helped me stay abreast of key energy topics beyond my fairly specific scope at work. The last episode that brought the gang back together further reminded me how much I miss it. All to say I and I’m sure many others would be delighted to have that show or some... more

  • biased against nuclear power

    I believe this podcast always has a bias against nuclear power and portrays solar or wind as the best alternatives for fossil free energy. I don’t believe that is fair without an extensive and deep analysis that should not be done in a space of 40 minutes. Just from a perspective of capacity factor, energy density of the fuel, space requirements, nuclear is one of the best if not the best source of energy. Just because it is hard to build does not mean it should not be done. I would encourage li... more

    20 mins into a clean energy frontier episode and no new tech mentioned. Pretty big waste time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Did someone just figure out how to project finance nuclear?
Q: What role do partnerships with data centers like Crusoe play in this strategy?
Data-center demand creates a credible, near-term off-take that helps de-risk the project from the start. It also helps align long-term power needs with a fixed-price nuclear product, providing a tangible revenue stream that supports project finance and demonstrates real market demand for a scalable nuclear solution.
Did someone just figure out how to project finance nuclear?
Q: How does the gas-to-nuclear approach work to reduce risk and cost of capital?
Gas turbines provide early, reliable electricity and enable a staged transition where a fully built nuclear balance of plant is energized early with gas-fired steam turbines, then the reactor is completed and connected. This reduces schedule risk, accelerates cash flows, and makes it feasible for lenders to finance the project with lower perceived nuclear risk.
Did someone just figure out how to project finance nuclear?
Q: Why hasn't this been done before?
There are two factors: a historical focus on techno-utopian reactor designs that neglected constructability, and a lack of integration between large-scale civil construction and the nuclear supply chain. Re-centering on manufacturability, off-site fabrication, and fixed-price contracting could unlock project financing and reduce risk for banks and utilities.
The missing capital for climate startups: more debt
Q: What is your approach to underwriting and loan modifications?
We underwrite two buckets of risk—solvency over the loan period and clarity around hair on deals—and we prefer modifications when the borrower's solvency remains intact, as it protects both parties and reduces default costs.
The missing capital for climate startups: more debt
Q: How do you view the idea that debt kills climate companies?
Debt is not inherently destructive; it's about who you take money from, what the loan terms are, and whether the lender can accommodate contingencies like loan modifications when needed.
