Energy Central

The ‘Energy Central Insights™ Podcast’ is kicking off 2020 by diving into the most critical question to ask at this crucial juncture for the utility sector: “How can we align the leadership of the global energy industry to accelerate the end to climate disruption?” That was the question posed by Rami Reshef, CEO of GenCell Energy, to the Energy Central community recently, which spurred fantastic discussion and debate from community members who stretched across industry, academia, policy, and more. As CEO of GenCell Energy, Rami has taken his 25 years of experience in entrepreneurship and technology and bet on fuel cells and hydrogen energy to be one of the key tool that will provide us with a clean and reliable energy future. Knowing that technological solutions are just part of the battle, Rami wanted to spur the minds across Energy Central to think about how we align real leaders towards the common goals necessary to combat climate change. In this episode of the podcast, we take that question and get to the core of it all with Rami.

We welcome you to our second episode of the ‘Energy Central Power Perspectives™ Podcast,’ this time joined by Lincoln Bleveans, the Assistant General Manager of Power Supply at Burbank Water and Power. Lincoln’s career has taken him all over the energy industry and provided him with a unique perspective of what it takes to be a strong and effective leader in the utility sector specifically. Lincoln’s posts to the Energy Central community typical focus on characteristics of utility leaders today and how those must evolve with changing energy industry, and they can be found on EnergyCentral.com and on his Twitter feed @bleveans. Knowing we wanted to dig into Lincoln’s expertise on the utility leadership topic, we surveyed his recent posts entitled “Waterskiing with Winston” and “A Career in Leadership Roles.” These articles set the stage for us to discuss how utility leaders must be unique to leaders in other industries, what ideas decision-makers must embrace now that the long-stagnant utility sector is finally seeing rapid change, and more.

In the first-ever episode of the ‘Energy Central Power Perspectives™ Podcast,’ we have the pleasure of having as our guest one of Energy Central’s most prolific and respected community members, Dan Yurman. Dan is a nuclear energy guru, with a career that’s spanned multiple continents over the course of 40 years, with stops at Idaho National Lab, Bechtel, Rockwell Automation, and NASA. Today, Dan actively shares his insights on nuclear power and the wider energy sector through his posts on EnergyCentral.com, his blog Nuetron Bytes, and his Twitter feed @djysrv. While any number of Dan’s content would be worth discussing, we pulled him into this episode thanks to his annual posting of “Dan’s Idaho Nuclear Chili Recipe,” linked below. As we’re nestled into two of the biggest food-related holidays of the year, Dan’s chili recipe had us drooling and its connection to the nuclear industry was both fascinating and gave us a fun segue to discuss the state of nuclear power across several different nations and the role nuclear energy will play in a constantly evolving grid.
