In this episode of Green Giants: Titans of Renewable Energy, host Wes Ashworth sits down with Mark Little, CEO and Founder of Jotson and former CEO of Suncor Energy, to unpack one of the most significant blind spots in energy today—consumer awareness. With over 35 years of experience spanning oil & gas, renewables, and now fusion, Mark is on a mission to revolutionize how we understand and manage energy consumption.

From leading one of Canada’s largest energy companies to now building a powerful tech platform for consumers and businesses, Mark brings rare insight across the full energy value chain. His company, Jotson, is simplifying energy data, empowering users to optimize consumption, reduce costs, and lower emissions—all through actionable intelligence. 

Key topics covered in this episode include:

• The Energy Blind Spot: Why most consumers—and even policymakers—have no idea how much energy they use or how it’s priced
• Inside Jotson: How Mark’s new platform converts confusing, fragmented utility data into clear, comparable insights
• From Oil Sands to Fusion: Mark’s journey from fossil fuels to renewables and why he believes fusion energy is the game-changer we've been waiting for
• Energy Literacy and Empowerment: How knowing your numbers can lead to 5–15% cost savings—and why Mark himself cut his usage by nearly 40%
• The Case for Fusion: A look into General Fusion, the science behind fusion energy, and why it’s fundamentally safer and more scalable than today’s nuclear
• Energy Myths Debunked: Thoughts on hydrogen, grid expansion, renewables, and why we’re not in an energy "transition"—but an energy expansion
• Policy & Pragmatism: Why global climate efforts need to focus on impact, not politics—and what smarter carbon strategies could look like
• Advice for Energy Entrepreneurs: Lessons from scaling big energy operations to building a startup with real-world traction

Mark also shares his thoughts on what it means to truly innovate in energy, why science and practicality must drive climate solutions, and how we need all energy forms working together to meet rising global demand.

If you’re in renewable energy, clean tech, policy, or just curious about the next wave of innovation shaping the energy landscape—this is a must-listen conversation
