The GT Power Hour: Episode 13 (One Hill of an Interview!)

In which we sit down with Calpine President/CEO Thad Hill for our first “executive interview” and end up picking his brain about everything from insights from leading the company back to private ownership in 2018 to how Vice President Biden can earn cred for his campaign’s environmental platform to whether the Ivy League or the SEC has the most insufferable fans. Oh yeah, there’s also carbon pricing, capacity markets, what’s gone wrong (and right) in California, which Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is currently on his nightstand and our requisite (but brief) ruminations on sports. It’s worth a listen during your one-hour workout.

The GT Power Hour: Episode 10 (Primetime Glick! FERC-Style)

In which we spend quality time with the lone Democrat at FERC, Commissioner Richard Glick, who delves deep into his relationship with the three Republicans on the Commission, how he approaches the fraught dynamics of maintaining personal relationships with coworkers with whom he’s ideologically opposed, his thoughts on minimum offer-price rules (MOPRs), his preference for a national carbon price, why the social cost of carbon should be included in judging the value of proposed pipeline projects, why sports fanaticism is the workplace is a good thing and, finally, the many contributions of the late, great George Carlin.
