  1. Catalyst · 5 Mar 2026 Digging deep for super hot geothermal with Carlos Araque, CEO and founder, Quaise Energy Geothermal works only where heat sits near the surface. If you drill deep enough to find much hotter rock, can you actually reach it, get the heat out, and do it cheaply?
  2. Steel For Fuel · 24 Oct 2025 Fusion, and other fusion-level bets: Part II by Andy Lubershane, Partner and Head of Research, Energy Impact Partners Besides nuclear, which energy technologies could remake civilization’s energy supply the way fusion is supposed to, and what would have to go right for each?
  3. Catalyst · 23 Oct 2025 Five big questions about the future of energy with Andy Lubershane, head of research and partner, Energy Impact Partners Five separate questions about where the AI-driven electricity boom goes next: when could today’s shortage turn into a glut, who wins and loses from it, and what should we expect from nuclear, enhanced geothermal and grid-enhancing technologies?
  4. Catalyst · 29 May 2025 How geothermal gets built with Carl Hoiland, co-founder and CEO, Zanskar What does it actually take to find and develop a geothermal project, and why is the process finally getting faster?
  5. Catalyst · 27 Jun 2024 Going deep on next-gen geothermal with Roland Horne, professor of earth sciences and head of the geothermal program, Stanford University Of the next-generation geothermal approaches now nearing market, which are actually ready to scale, and what would it take for geothermal to work outside the few places it works today?
  6. Steel For Fuel · 23 Aug 2023 How will we keep warm in the winter? by Andy Lubershane, Partner and Head of Research, Energy Impact Partners How do we keep buildings warm in winter without burning fossil fuel?
  7. Steel For Fuel · 31 Mar 2023 When will we get serious about nuclear? (or something ‘nuclear-esque’?) by Andy Lubershane, Partner and Head of Research, Energy Impact Partners When will the world get serious about building nuclear power, and does the resource that fills that gap have to be nuclear?
