Energy prices, global conflicts, grids, solar fields, private power plants, and even cattle cycles all make an appearance. Jake breaks down why per person energy use has been falling since 2018, how AI data centers are both straining and strengthening the grid, and why private enterprise quietly runs most of America’s power system. He also explains how natural gas became cheaper than picking coal up off the ground, why heat pumps are the unexpected heroes of modern efficiency, and how new tech like fusion, micro nuclear, and space based solar might reshape everything again. If you enjoy smart explanations wrapped in humor, real stories, and the occasional analogy involving old pickup trucks and medieval hog markets, you are in the right place. This episode makes the energy transition understandable, practical, and maybe even optimistic. No doomscrolling required. This episode was recorded on March 7, 2026.
