Bloom Energy’s Jeff Barber joins me to discuss why reliable, sustainable, and innovative power generation is the key to the future of data centers. From his days as a mainframe operator at Chico State to leading the charge with hydrogen fuel cells, Jeff shares his insights into the evolving energy landscape. We tackle the challenges of scaling AI workloads, oscillating power demands, and why your Netflix stream isn’t the only thing at stake when the lights go out. Whether you’re curious about on-site power generation, SMRs, or the economics of energy infrastructure, Jeff’s practical, informed perspective is a must-hear.
