  • Thought this was about Energy Transition

    Guess now the US is a climate denier, Amazon is too and not one mention of green energy in some of the last episodes. Methane is not a solution.

  • Didn't really answer what the industry is doing to improve time to market stage of reactors in the US and Europe and where post war Russia fits into this gambit as a previous big player. Like to know more upgrading existing power stations to generate more power Vs just turning old ones back on.

    Where does the middle east see nuclear, what about water scarcity, fuel refining and the major gap of long term waste storage Vs currently leaving them in casks on site till a site is found.

  • Simplistic, Poor Takes and Information

    Very pro renewable energy and green-tech group uninterested in considering the strengths of any conventional energy sources or facing the macroeconomics and implications of green-tech and renewables.

    These guys like to apply a TON of analogies as proof of their opinions and research. Very little substance or numbers behind the discussions found in this show.

    I found it particularly frustrating that the hosts tend to invoke successful small scale or consumer technology trends (albeit successful... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The war with Iran: what does the disruption in the Strait of Hormuz mean for global energy?
Q: How likely is it that we will see normal or near normal flows of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz in a month or two months or three months?
At the moment the flows are a trickle and much depends on insurance, security guarantees, and the speed at which the US and allies can establish credible protections and bypass routes or escorts; a full return to pre-crisis levels may take longer than a few weeks.
The war with Iran: what does the disruption in the Strait of Hormuz mean for global energy?
Q: Amy, this is something you've thought about for a very long time, right? This risk has been absolutely built into everyone's strategic planning, hasn't it?
Yes, there has long been recognition of high-risk scenarios in the Strait of Hormuz, and the current situation is testing those plans with new forms of unconventional threats and the need for credible assurances to markets.
Are VPPs really a viable solution for easing strain on the grid? Tesla say yes, and they have big plans
Q: What's your story and what drew you to a career in energy?
I joined Tesla in 2015, helping to launch the energy division and early storage products like Powerwall and Powerpack, because storage and distributed energy were critical to lowering costs and enabling a renewable-heavy grid. I focused on economics, markets, and scaling storage solutions from the ground up.
A solution to the problem of paying for data centre power? Unpacking AWS’s recent 3 gigawatt deal with NIPSCO
Q: What would you say are the big issues that you see regarding demand growth and potential for new data center investment?
It's important to consider how new data center investments will be beneficial for existing customers while navigating the demand growth.
Energy storage steps up: the growing role of batteries on the grid, and the challenge from winter storms
Q: What role does battery storage play during extreme weather events?
Battery storage provides the ability to respond quickly and integrate new sources of generation into the market, ensuring resilience in an electricity crisis.
