    The news quiz episode!

    Host Stephen Lacey moderates a live news quiz at the Prelude Climate Summit, pitting Energy Impact Partners partners Shayle Kann and Cassie Bowe (Team High Voltage) against Prelude Ventures’ Dr. Carley Anderson and Matt Eggers (Team Shayle Gassed). The teams compete on topics including grid interconnection queues, AI’s impact on data center load growth, and the shortage of geologists and HVAC technicians. The discussion highlights the tension between building new fossil gas capacity to meet demand and the urgent need for transmission upgrades and grid-enhancing technologies like reconductoring. The episode also covers specific investments in nuclear firms like Oklo and Helion, as well as the operational challenges of integrating renewable energy into the existing grid infrastructure.
