It’s about that time again. You sent in great questions for Shayle, and in this episode we’re tackling them with the help of Sarah Golden, vice president of energy at GreenBiz. Together Shayle and Sarah cover topics like:

Load growth and whether data-center demand is good or bad for decarbonization.

The crash in photovoltaic module prices and what it means for solar deployment.

The impact of interest rates on climatetech.

The challenges of siting carbon dioxide pipelines.

Why there’s no clear winning technology for carbon dioxide removal.

European energy companies acquiring U.S. companies.

Why Shayle is bullish on the macro grid, despite the slow pace of interconnection and transmission buildout.

Plus: volcanoes, Frankenstein, and Shayle’s childhood with geodes.
