  • Great show, would love to see more interviews with utilities

    I love hearing the many perspectives on the energy transition and really enjoy the show. I’d love to see y’all have more guests that are from the utilities, as they are the ones building out transmission lines, planning new generation, and operating our current generation. Hearing about those challenges first hand from the people working on them I think would be an interesting addition to the show.

  • Needs sound leveling

    I appreciate this podcast and the guests that are invited to talk through various issues. The content quality is high. It is challenging to hear Ed (in terms of volume) sometimes and I think some simple post processing to level the voices could help.

  • Drier and blander than it used to be

    One of the good energy related podcasts out there but drier and blander than it used to be before the takover.

  • Good show but….

    …but can someone please buy Ed an EV so he stops asking silly “aren’t EVs bad?” questions? Only people who don’t own an EV worry about buying an EV. The rest of us have two!! 😝

  • Broad perspectives

    I’m not in the energy business but I find it interesting to learn about since it affects my daily life. I really like Energy Gang for the broad perspectives they bring. Not just some far left or right ideologues …. There is pragmatism in the discussions. And I learn so much about emerging technologies. So thanks. Keep it up.
