Powering AI: another shale story? with Hill Vaden
Data centers are the crucial rate limiting factor for the Hyperscaler's growth, and in turn, power supply is the rate limiting factor for those data centers. Who is financing that power infrastructure? How are they doing it? And indeed, what happens if there's a correction in the market or the flood of money leads to overcapacity? And what is the best analogy in historical capital cycles to examine this current infrastructure build out with? Our guest argues that it's the shale revolution. Joining me in my office in Houston is Hil Vaden, Executive Director over the Energy Capital Insights Group at S&P Global, who themselves are hosting the Financing US Power Conference on September the twenty-eighth through the thirtieth here in Houston, covering many of the topics we discuss here.Sign ups and details here:https://www.spglobal.com/energy/en/events/conferences/financing-us-power?

Trapped in Hormuz: Total War or a New World Disorder? with Jeff Currie
Ultimately, the US faces a stark binary choice. Defeat Iran or retreat. And both have profound ramifications for the post-war Bretton-Woods order that has shipped modern economies and the commodity flows that support them. Indeed, it is precisely those commodity flows that both shape the binary choice and prevent commitment to one or the other. Jeff Currie, Co-Founder of 1947 Oil and Gas returns to the show to lay out this stark reality and its consequence for the world (and why he launched an oil & gas company).

Sand: The most important commodity in the modern world with Vince Beiser (Summer Repeat)
Sand has transformed modern civilization. It is the ubiquitous commodity; in our infrastructure, in our industry and even in our personal care products. Yet due to its characteristics, the supply chain is fragmented, disastrous for our environment and often corrupt. And by a tragic quirk of geometry, desert sand is unusable meaning we wreck our riverbeds and oceans to acquire it. In this episode, author and journalist Vince Beiser joins us to discuss sand and its role in the modern world. Vince is the author of The World in a Grain - the story of sand and how it transformed civilization.
