    035: Geothermal 101 with Baseload Capital - Enhanced Geothermal Systems

    Text me your feedback! Geothermal energy, once known to be localized in certain geographical regions, has expanded its capacity with advanced drilling techniques. Unlike solar and wind, geothermal is not reliant on day-night cycles, weather conditions, or seasons. It can generate electricity 24/7 and provide what is called "baseload" power – a key component for a stable power grid. Join me as I discuss this growing power generation technology with Kristina Hagström-Ilievska and Gabriella Skog of Baseload Capital.   -Clean, firm, flexible, secure, minimal footprint baseload power generation -Conventional geothermal versus next generation EGS (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) -We get into technical side of Geothermal 101 around 10:57 -Fracking in the system to enhance geothermal recovery -MW outputs associated with pilot plants and future commercial power outputs -Standardization in exploration, community work, and in design how it transfers into the balance of plant -Hold ups associated with geothermal advancements – permitting!  -Going from drilling for oil and gas to drilling for power generation, transitioning workforces   PS – Check out their latest series GeoTV here: https://www.youtube.com/@BaseloadCapital   https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinahagstr%C3%B6milievska/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabriella-skog-14871b133/ https://www.baseloadcap.com/   Support the show

    034: Energy policy to support the energy transition? With Niko McMurray of ClearPath

    Text me your feedback! What is Energy Policy and why is it so important to promote clean energy innovation?  I had no idea how important energy policy was in the background of my day to day job supporting project decision making. From technologies like nuclear to carbon removals and beyond, there are several policies in place to help support their development further. Niko McMurry with Clear Path delivers insight on what energy policy is and why it is so important to promote the energy transition.   -Energy policy are sets of rules principles and guidelines, but how do we pull the policy makers together to create the ones best fit for goals -Importance of Engineering Firms and Project Developers to help set the expectations around policy -How current policy drives technology deployment -How the upcoming election will shake up the current clean energy policies -Supporting policy is the key to reduce emissions thorough innovative technologies -Policy to address regulatory barriers -Climate Policy vs. Energy Policy -Energy policy to support national security along with reliable, affordable and clean energy production Nicholas McMurray | LinkedIn ClearPath  Support the show

    032: CEO of Idaho Power, Lisa Grow - Delivering Safe, Reliable, Affordable, and Clean Electricity

    Text me your feedback! This episode I am joined by Lisa Grow, CEO of Idaho Power. We discuss how the state is achieving reliability that is safe, clean and affordable. Idaho has a substantial mix of hydropower, with a healthy mix of natural gas, coal, geothermal, biomass, solar, and wind. They also have plans to exit coal and deliver 100% clean energy by 2045. The progression of phasing out coal and integrating clean energy is happening for her team rapidly and her leadership has been an amazing testament for them to achieve it! I am such a fan of her as an individual – she embodies strong, compassionate, leadership and you can see how she serves others in her everyday role as CEO. You can hear it the conversation we have. Tune in to discover some of the following:    - Why Safe, Reliable, Affordable and Clean energy is the proper prioritization of energy delivery - The strong history of clean energy provision in the sate of Idaho - Data Center Production demands in the 100’s of MWs – creating mega loads on the power system - Deregulated versus unregulated markets -Electrification from the CEO of a Utilities Company’s view -Clean energy vs. renewable energy -Explanation of Renewable Energy Credits -SMR Market evolvement Also note – I say the oil and gas market is not regulated, I meant to state they are a form of a DEregulated market. The differences in regulated versus deregulated is below. This is a very typical term in the electricity space. ·  Deregulated markets prioritize competition and give consumers more control over their choices. ·  Regulated markets offer stability and predictability in terms of costs and reliability.   Learn more about Lisa and Idaho Power here: https://www.idahopower.com/about-us/company-information/officer-profiles/ Also, be sure to check out the 100% Clean Energy by 2045 Initiative they are striving to achieve: https://www.idahopower.com/energy-environment/energy/clean-today-cleaner-tomorrow/ Support the show

    031: Energy Incentives with Stuart Turley, CEO, Podcaster, and Energy Poverty Elimination Advocate

    Text me your feedback! Join Stuart Turley, CEO of Sandstone Group, founder of Energy News Beat, and fellow podcaster in a light-hearted conversation about, well….everything?! We went into the conversation with the intent to talk about subsidies and incentives in the energy industry, which I know very little about, then somehow dove into cloud seeding, climate change, and agriculture! We went all over the place, but the message about tax incentives to support the energy transition was made. If companies can figure out how to be non-dependent on government support, less complexity follows as the complexities involved with incentives are numerous.  This episode is between two individuals with different perspectives but coming together to help deliver energy insight. -Energy Subsidies vs. Energy Incentives -Tax Incentives for typical oil and gas vs. energy transition -Energy Poverty Elimination -A healthy conversation about climate change -Insurance companies adopting climate change in their structuring of policies -Molecules to electrons     https://www.linkedin.com/in/stuturley/ https://energynewsbeat.co/ https://www.iea.org/topics/energy-subsidies Support the show
