“They've had the electricity come on every time they've hit the switch for the last 40 years. So why would they worry about tomorrow the light not coming on?” Isaac Orr, Policy Fellow at Center of the American Experiment You can watch the full interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSY79RqsAeY  The Power Hungry podcast spotlights energy, power, innovation, and politics. Author and journalist Robert Bryce talks with top thinkers, writers, and influencers — as well as regular citizens. Subscribe at https://robertbryce.com/power-hungry-podcast/ and follow Robert's work https://twitter.com/pwrhungry. Isaac Orr is a policy fellow at the Center of the American Experiment, where he writes about environmental issues, mining, and electricity. In his second appearance on the podcast (his first was on August 10, 2021), Orr talks about the importance of the Supreme Court's West Virginia v. EPA ruling, why utilities are keeping their coal plants open this summer, how renewables are undermining the integrity of the electric grid, and the looming shortfalls of generation capacity in the Midwest. You can follow Issac's work at: https://twitter.com/TheFrackingGuy. Transcript Energy 101 definition of energy is energy is the ability to do work. And when you make energy more difficult to get or make it more expensive, you're making it more difficult to do work or more expensive to do work, whether that's heating your house, plowing a field, growing your food. So when we enact all these energy policies that intentionally make energy more scarce or more expensive, it ripples through every aspect of the economy. In some ways you can write it off as rational ignorance. They've had the electricity come on every time they've hit the switch for the last 40 years. So why would they worry about tomorrow the light not coming on? It's the milk comes from the store philosophy, right? I think it boils down to some sort of afluenza. I really like the concept of thinking about energy, food, production, mining in terms of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. You've got your basic needs, which is food, water, then you want security and safety and then you've got your self actualization triangle at the top. We've had the bottom rungs of our needs satisfied for so long that we can only focus on the self-actualization tip of the triangle. And we've been undermining the base of the pyramid, in order to attain these tertiary goals. And that's exactly what's happening with the grid. For energy, you need a secure supply. Russia showed us that that needs to be the base of the pyramid. Then you need reliability, then you need affordability. And then at the very tip, you can have carbon free. You need to find a way to satisfy security, reliability, affordability, and being carbon free. That's gotta be the fourth and final consideration on your energy hierarchy of needs, because if you try to invert that pyramid like Germany did, we're seeing that it has really disastrous consequences. 

Julie Kuntz is a “fifth-generation Iowa farm girl” who has become one of the most vocal opponents of wind-energy development in her home state. In this episode, Kuntz, a member of Concerned Residents of Worth and Winnebago Counties, Iowa, who lives in Grafton, talks about the lawsuit that Chicago-based Invenergy filed against Worth County, the company's “nefarious tactics,” the media's “horrid” coverage of the land-use conflicts around renewables, and why “an informed citizen is the wind industry's worst nightmare.” (Recorded with June 3, 2022).

Ian Bremmer is the president of the Eurasia Group and the author of 11 books, including his latest, The Power of Crisis: How Three Threats – And Our Response – Will Change the World, which will be released on May 17. In this episode, Bremmer talks about the three threats – pandemics, climate change, and new technologies – that are now facing global leaders, as well as China's ongoing lockdowns, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, disrupted supply chains, and why he is optimistic that the crises now facing the world can be overcome.

Mark Nelson managing director of the Radiant Energy Fund, joins the podcast for the fourth time. In this episode, he talks about the “clown rodeo” in  Europe's nuclear-energy sector in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the looming closure of the Palisades nuclear plant in Michigan, and why there has been a “revolution in sentiment” in the Democratic Party about nuclear energy in America. 

Jason Fordney, a longtime energy journalist, is the editor of California Energy Markets. In this episode, he explains why increasing numbers of Californians are “outraged” by their utility bills, why it would be “a miracle” if the state manages to prevent the closure of the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant, and why he believes there is too much emphasis in the state on “carbon molecules and not enough focus on reliability” and affordability. 

John Hanekamp, a St. Louis-based consultant, has spent his career in the commodities business. In his second appearance on the podcast (his first was on November 17), Hanekamp talks about global coal demand, railroad bottlenecks, why “the real elephant in the room is not energy, it's food,” Ukraine's grain exports, fertilizer demand, and why some parts of the world may soon be facing famine. 

Joel Kotkin is a demographer, journalist, author, and executive editor of NewGeography.com. In his second appearance on the Power Hungry Podcast,  Kotkin discusses his recent article for Quillette, “The New Great Game,” how China and Russia are allying against the West, why America needs “a new nationalism” to counter this alliance, how California's administrative state is crushing the poor and the middle class, Michael Shellenberger's gubernatorial bid, energy, housing, and why despite his many concerns, he remains bullish on the future of the United States. 

John Harpole is the president of Denver-based natural gas broker Mercator Energy. In this episode, Harpole explains how Europe “fell into the trap” set by Russia and Vladimir Putin, fertilizer shortages, why Europe's energy crisis will last for years, and why the US should launch a “natural gas Lend-Lease” program for Europe.

Benny Peiser is the director of Net Zero Watch, a London-based group that focuses on the “implications of expensive and poorly considered climate change policies.” Peiser talks about Europe's “unilateral energy disarmament,” the “cult” of climate-change activism, how Germany led the anti-hydrocarbon campaign in Europe, Britain's shale gas potential, and why Europe needs to reverse its opposition to hydraulic fracturing and begin drilling for oil and gas immediately. 

Joe Craft is the CEO of Tulsa-based Alliance Resource Partners, the second-largest coal producer in the eastern United States. In this episode, he talks about why coal demand in the US and Europe has rebounded, how the pressure on banks to conform with ESG rules is affecting his company's access to capital, his philanthropic efforts, and why we “can't take energy for granted.”

Gregg Easterbrook is the author of a dozen books, including most recently, The Blue Age: How the US Navy Created Global Prosperity – and Why We're In Danger of Losing It. In this episode, he discusses the US Navy's irreplaceable role as a peacekeeper on the high seas, why the age of supercarriers is likely over, the future of shipping through the Arctic Ocean, icebreakers, nuclear propulsion, the Law of the Sea Treaty, and why an armed conflict between the US and China is unlikely.

Chris Keefer is a Toronto-based medical doctor, the founder of Doctors for Nuclear Energy, and the host of the Decouple podcast. In his second appearance on the Power Hungry Podcast, Keefer talks about being rejected by Google Ads, his recent trips to the COP 26 climate meeting in Glasgow and the pro-nuclear marches in Berlin, why Canada's CANDU reactor design has been so successful, and why China and Russia are beating the rest of the world in deploying new nuclear reactors.

Pamela Ronald is one of the world's leading scientists on plant genetics, a professor of plant pathology at the University of California, Davis, and the co-author (with her husband, Raoul Adamchuk) of Tomorrow's Table: Organic Farming, Genetics, and the Future of Food. In this episode, she and Robert talk about the evolution of pathogens, why nearly everything we eat has been genetically modified, her work on developing flood-resistant strains of rice, CRISPR, and why geneticist Barbara McClintock, the winner of the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, is one of her personal heroes.

For the one-year anniversary of the Power Hungry Podcast, we welcome back – for her third appearance -- Meredith Angwin, the author of Shorting the Grid: The Hidden Fragility of Our Electric Grid. Of the 57 episodes we published over the past year, the February 17th episode with Angwin was our most popular one. Thus, we (producer Tyson Culver and I) invited her back. We discussed the “new kinds of blackouts” that are hitting the grid, how lavish subsidies for renewables are making it more fragile,  the “fatal trifecta,” and how many of the decarbonization efforts being promoted by climate activists are a new “way of enforcing energy poverty.”

With a heavy governmental push to reduce our carbon footprint, many individuals believe that a renewably powered grid and electrifying everything is the end-all solution. Yet, the implications of such a shift often are overlooked. For example, what happens when wind and solar can't generate enough energy to meet demand—is completely removing natural gas from our grid that good of an idea after all? These questions, along with others, are answered in today's episode. Tim sits down with Robert Bryce, an Author and Filmmaker who covers all things energy, and is also the host of the refreshing, Power Hungry Podcast. If anyone is an expert on the future of energy, it's Robert.  In this episode you will learn: What we as an industry need to know when it comes to gas bans (and how becoming informed will allow us to unite and stand up for the solution) Why equity and affordability—the most overlooked factors when it comes to electrification—need to be brought up (accounting for lower-income individuals is crucial in understanding the pain points in transitioning to an electrified nation) How having fuel diversity is more practical and reliable than a solely renewable grid (this will prevent future blackouts similar to that of Texas) As an industry, we need to stop viewing bans as the reason we close our doors, and instead take responsibility for where we are, and stand up for where we want to go. Listen today to gain valuable insight into the future of energy and the benefits of keeping natural gas around.  This Blizzard Exposes The Perils Of Attempting To ‘Electrify Everything' Check out The Power Hungry Podcast Power Hungry Podcast: John Harpole - President of Mercator Energy, on the Texas Blackouts and Why Natural Gas is a Strategic Fuel Visit Robert's Website Support The Fire Time Podcast financially Click here to join The Fire Time Network
