  • 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.

Uber's electric bet on electric vehicles. What does the rise of EVs and autonomous vehicles mean for the future of mobility?
Q: How do you decide where you're going to charge these AVs? Are you going to do that based on electricity price of time a day?
Charging for AVs is governed by a tightly sequenced demand-supply model. Uber uses data to position depots and pit stops, schedules charging around demand, and negotiates with utilities to secure multi-megawatt power at key sites. They also explore time-of-use pricing with charging partners to shift charging to off-peak times and improve economics.
Uber's electric bet on electric vehicles. What does the rise of EVs and autonomous vehicles mean for the future of mobility?
Q: Let's start at the beginning maybe in terms of Uber's approach to EVs. Why do you have an electrification strategy? Why is it important to Uber as a company?
Uber believes the future will be electric and autonomous because EVs offer a lower total cost of ownership, quieter and more technology-forward experiences for riders, and a better economics for drivers. The strategy hinges on faster charging, discounts and partnerships with OEMs, and driving EV adoption to become a core business driver in many markets.
Inside the largest power market in the US: How PJM is navigating the collision of data centres, decarbonization, and affordability.
Q: How does PJM view the role of data centers in the grid's future?
Data centers are a major load growth driver; PJM encourages them to bring their own generation but recognizes that many will rely on the backstop procurement and other mechanisms to ensure reliability and affordability, with backstop and cost allocation evolving at the state level.
Inside the largest power market in the US: How PJM is navigating the collision of data centres, decarbonization, and affordability.
Q: What exactly is PJM and how does it operate across multiple states?
PJM functions as the grid operator, planner, and administrator of wholesale energy markets; it runs the transmission planning, maintains reliability, and operates capacity markets while coordinating inputs from over 1,000 members and 13 states plus DC.
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.
