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.

Are power markets fit for purpose? The debate over reliability, affordability and who pays for the grid
Q: Is there evidence that competitive markets deliver better outcomes for consumers, and what are the main price signals investors watch?
FTI 2024 study shows restructuring associated with ~30% lower price increases versus regulated states; PJM analyzes show billions in annual customer savings. Price signals come from capacity markets, energy forwards, and the expectation of continued demand growth, plus bilateral contracts for new generation.
Are power markets fit for purpose? The debate over reliability, affordability and who pays for the grid
Q: What do you mean by a competitive electricity market, and how does it differ from a regulated monopoly model?
In competitive markets, generation companies bid into a central market and the grid operator procures the lowest-cost supply, which drives cost efficiency for customers. Regulated utilities own generation and guarantee a return, which can incentivize more capital expenditure and can raise long-term costs for customers.
Demand for power generation and grid equipment is booming. Can the industry keep up?
Q: What could policy makers do that would really help you expand and grow, provide the equipment the industry needs?
Policy should prioritize durability and long-term commitment rather than episodic, era-by-era changes. A stable framework would give industry confidence to invest in capacity, supply chains, and workforce while allowing innovation in grid technologies and decarbonization efforts.
Is fusion power here at last? The imagined energy of the future is becoming very real right now
Q: What is the realistic timeline for fusion reaching the grid, and what factors could accelerate or slow this down?
Industry leaders expect pilot plants and early commercial fusion in the 2030s, with a clear path through private sector development (Sparc and Arc) and regulatory streamlining. Key accelerants include targeted policy incentives, a defined regulatory framework, and a robust supply chain; bottlenecks include permitting, interconnection queues, and capital intensity.
Can the LA Olympics in 2028 be a catalyst for clean energy? How the games could remake transport, power and clean air in the car capital of America
Q: Which companies are you supporting and what might a visitor notice during the Games?
LACI supports a range of startups in EV charging, battery integration, and mobility services. Visitors will notice more electric buses, EV car sharing pilots, and charging depots supporting fleets, alongside a broader ecosystem of cleantech deployment across LA.
