AMA: Fuel cells, geopolitics, and the solar growth curve

AMA: Fuel cells, geopolitics, and the solar growth curve

As we head into the final quarter of this pivotal and dramatic year for the energy sector, Catalyst host Shayle Kann takes stock of 2026 so far – and considers what’s to come – in this AMA-style episode. He discusses the year’s biggest stories, the trends that have surprised him the most, and his hot takes on the current energy landscape. Shayle dives into topics including: - The data center backlash and why it has become more bipartisan than he expected - The impacts of the war in Iran on global EV adoption, and how the rollback of U.S. tax credits has countered that momentum - Why fuel cell maker Bloom Energy is flourishing amidst the rush for behind-the-meter generation - Tariff innovations: How big data centers could subsidize retail electricity rates in small utility territories - Why Shayle thinks predictions of a flattening U.S. solar market are underestimating massive growth potential - Hot take: why Shayle thinks massive grid capacity is about to hit the system - Catalyst: What comes after the data center backlash? - Catalyst: Can AI revolutionize grid operations? - Catalyst: Why C&I storage is finally taking off - Catalyst: Enter the electric supercycle - Catalyst: Inside the global fertilizer crunch Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann. Produced and edited by Max Savage Levenson. Original music and engineering by Sean Marquand. Stephen Lacey is our executive editor. Catalyst is brought to you by EnergyHub.
