What happens when energy demand grows faster than the system can handle? In this highlight episode, Nat Bullard breaks down the unique moment we’re in—where surging demand from data centers, industrial players, and electrification is colliding with infrastructure bottlenecks, policy uncertainty, and rising costs.
Listen in to learn how different industries experience energy costs in completely different ways, why availability is becoming more critical than price for some players, and how innovation, new business models, and behind-the-meter solutions are emerging in response. Nat also explores the impact of policy instability, supply chain challenges, and global market dynamics, as well as what it all means for the future of renewable energy, grid reliability, and business decision-making.
