The four then take a trip down memory lane to revisit standout episodes and highlight guests that prompted insightful, impactful and important conversations. They also examine past predictions that failed to pan out.\nLooking ahead, the hosts analyze several emerging issues and challenges facing the energy sector, including data centers, affordability, grid-enhancing technologies and climate change – topics of discussion that very well may appear in the next 50 episodes!\nTo learn more about John Povilaitis, visit https://www.bipc.com/john-povilaitis\nTo learn more about Alan Seltzer, visit https://www.bipc.com/alan-seltzer\nTo learn more about Metin Celebi, visit https://www.brattle.com/experts/metin-celebi/\nTo learn more about Frank Graves, visit https://www.brattle.com/experts/frank-c-graves/","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Y-sK9BcvhdYoJntf5sZDvXVdmoEup_Lmouqtywxy1lQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xNzhh/YzVkODFmMDdhOTU0/OWQyYTdlNjI0OGY4/ODIwMS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
