Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 1.8k ratings
  • Used to be better

    This show seems to have turned into some sort of fossil fuel industry mouthpiece since Ed Crooks took over. A lot less discussion about energy transition without fossil fuels, more talk about fossil fuels being part of the transition, less in depth discussion of science.

  • Control

    Elaborate schemes may sound exciting but the more elaborate the more greedy fingers control the throttle. Enough sunlight shines on the earth to power our electricty use for a year. Duh! Its a no brainer! But because its accessible to everyone were are always told its not enough. Something else is needed. And that something else, you can believe, is NOT accessible to everyone and will be behind a controllable paywall, a moat.

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Building America’s new power grid: Can the transmission network grow to keep pace with rising electricity demand?
Q: What can be done about the uncertain costs and delays in interconnection queues?
Adam Stern describes Southwest Power Pool's Consolidated Planning Process, which proactively studies grid and interconnection needs and provides developers with binding costs before they enter the queue. He says other regions could adopt similar approaches to improve cost certainty and coordinate transmission planning.
Building America’s new power grid: Can the transmission network grow to keep pace with rising electricity demand?
Q: What could be done to expedite investment in transmission capacity and get more of it built?
Jenny Chen points to the difficulty of agreeing on cost allocation across states and regions, and describes a floor-and-cap financing model that combines revenue certainty with market incentives. She says the approach could be adapted to different US regulatory structures and paired with other financing options.
Predictive care for energy workers: Can AI improve safety without compromising privacy?
Q: Are people going to have concerns about the amount of data on employees that's being collected? As you say, if you're looking at brainwaves, eye movements, body language, all those things, I'm sure for some people that will set off alarm bells and they'll say, well, isn't this surveillance of the workforce? Is this something where you're infringing on people's rights to autonomy and so on? How do you address those concerns?
Oullier says programs require informed consent and should be voluntary and compliant with applicable regulation. He argues that positive outcomes, such as reduced stress and fewer mistakes, can encourage workers to participate, while emphasizing responsible use of AI.
Predictive care for energy workers: Can AI improve safety without compromising privacy?
Q: What are the use cases you've been working on that are going to make a difference to the energy industry, do you think?
Oullier describes neuroadaptive AI that can detect fatigue, stress, distraction and cognitive overload, then adapt dashboards or collaborative robots to support operators' safety and performance.
Can energy security and climate action work together? From Climate Week NYC
Q: Does that mean that we get onto a very different trajectory in terms of where the energy system goes?
Harry Mateer expects energy systems to become more fragmented, with greater investment in domestic sources, redundancy and resilience, while countries continue developing renewables to reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels.
