In this episode of Wicked Energy with JG, Justin visits with fellow podcaster Joe Batir to discuss the potential of geothermal and how it theoretically has the potential to provide enough energy to power the world. However, as this would require an immense amount of capital and governmental support, Joe explains the current landscape of geothermal and some of the fascinating technologies currently being worked. 

One of the current initiatives involves subsurface energy storage. Similar to battery storage, underground storage takes allows for excess energy, in the form of heat, to be stored and used at a later date. One of the major benefits is that this type of storage has the potential to store up to 800 hours of energy storage which can be used to help offset seasonal supply challenges and base load power. 

Another topic discussed was the overall inefficiency of today’s energy consumption. Joe explains that technology such as at home Nest systems and smart appliances could help accelerate energy efficiency gains by simply allowing technology to adjust our daily electricity consumption.

In this episode of Wicked Energy with JG, Justin visits with Adam Murray, Vice President of Performance Products at WeldFit. 

Adam is an energy advocate and entrepreneurial executive with 20 years of proven new business development experience. Justin and Adam start off the conversation by talking about Adams LinkedIn profile picture that he created using an AI tool, which led into conversation around Adam’s thoughts around the future of AI.

Adam also shares his thoughts around our current challenge of messaging and education of energy topics. Through his experience and involvement in his community, he quickly learned that some of the basic fundamentals around energy production are missing from people’s knowledge base. 

Adam also points out an important point around the IRA and carbon emissions that will begin being tracked on  January 1st, 2024. He believes that because companies will not be charged until 2026, there will be a large volume of unexpected taxes due if companies don’t get ahead of it.

In this episode of Wicked Energy with JG, Justin visits with Sidd Gupta, Co-Founder of Nesh to discuss his recent move to New York along with the major progress he’s made at his company Nesh. 

One of the big challenges we face in the industry is our willingness to share and qualify the value in internal knowledge sharing. Sidd and Justin discuss the major changes in society’s behaviors around remote working since the pandemic which has driven much change on how company’s build culture and share knowledge. 

Nesh uses three major sources including a company’s formal documents, informal documents, and employee correspondence to create subject matter avatars acting as experts within a company’s organization. Nesh turns Subject Matter Expertise into Subject Matter Avatars so that your company never loses knowledge when the experts move, retire, or resign. Using artificial intelligence with deep-domain understanding, Nesh reads, learns, and understands all unstructured information wherever it is stored in your organization.

Sidd also shares his thoughts around the importance for every entrepreneur to take personal time to disconnect from the day to day hustle in order to help maintain a positive mental state during such intense and stressful working environments.

In this episode of Wicked Energy with JG, Justin visits with Ryan Walker, Senior Vice President of Federal Affairs at Shumaker Advisors to discuss what it’s like to represent energy-focused clients on Capitol Hill. 

Ryan, who’s originally from Ohio, never expected to live a life in politics but since joining the House of Representatives in 2002, has really taken a liking to advise companies on energy policy and representation on Capitol Hill. One of Ryan’s favorite quotes is, “If you don’t have a seat at the table, you’ll be on the menu”. This rings true for many folks in the energy space that deserve a seat at the table to provide quality input on energy policy and what matters most. 

Ryan also shares his thoughts on how a robust oil and gas industry can exist while still fighting climate change. Propper permitting and reform are key areas that need attention to fulfill many of the energy goals set in place by Washington, as Ryan mentions.
