Charif Souki on the Future of LNG: Glut Myths, Infrastructure, and Global Demand (Ep. 244)

Hot n' Cold: Talking efficiency with International District Energy Association (Ep. 246)

District energy uses a centralized network of underground pipes to transport produced steam and hot or chilled water to heat or cool end-use buildings. The model is most commonly found in densely populated and connected environments, such as college campuses, medical centers, or centrally planned residential communities. International District Energy Association CEO Rob Thornton joins hosts Hill Vaden and Sam Humphreys to discuss the various applications of district energy and why it should be considered an important contributor to meeting decarbonization and grid-resilience goals.

Don't call it a comeback: Nuclear's been here for years (Ep. 245)

A nuclear renaissance in the US stalled 20 years ago when gas-fired generation won market share and power demand flattened. This time, many believe, is different. S&P Global Energy expert Bill Freebairn joins hosts Hill Vaden and Sam Humphreys to put America's history with nuclear power into perspective and highlight some of the signposts to watch as the current revival gathers steam.

Charif Souki on the Future of LNG: Glut Myths, Infrastructure, and Global Demand (Ep. 244)

This week on EnergyCents, Hill Vaden and Sam Humphreys speak with LNG pioneer Charif Souki about the extraordinary rise of the US from LNG importer to global export leader — and what that means for markets, infrastructure, and energy security. Souki pushes back on fears of an LNG glut, warns that the Permian gas bottleneck is becoming economically unsustainable, and argues that AI-driven power demand is forcing a fundamental rethink of how quickly the industry can build.
