Decarbonization Draft: The Corporate Raider Edition

Decarbonization Draft: The Corporate Raider Edition

Greed is good. At least, it’s good for decarbonization.

This week on The Interchange podcast, we have a new edition of the fantasy decarbonization draft -- this one focused on acquiring and restructuring public companies.

We’re joining the ranks of corporate raiders like Carl Icahn, T. Boone Pickens and Gordon Gekko by taking over public companies and bending their strategies to our will. (For benevolent reasons, of course.)

Shayle and Stephen will pick their portfolio of companies. And then listeners choose who has the best investment strategy. (Vote over at @InterchangeShow on Twitter.)

Here’s how it works:

  • We each have $25 billion to spend
  • We can acquire a maximum of eight companies each. There’s no minimum.
  • The cost of any given company is its market cap at the time of choosing.
  • Our acquisition targets must be publicly traded
  • Once we’ve acquired a company, we can control its strategy.
  • The goal is to accelerate decarbonization in our chosen sector
  • Our geographic focus is North America

Make sure to listen to our first and second decarbonization drafts.

Thorium’s nuclear pitch: Can molten salt reactors cut cost, use waste, and scale faster than conventional designs?

Thorium’s nuclear pitch: Can molten salt reactors cut cost, use waste, and scale faster than conventional designs?

Electricity demand is rising, capital is tightening, and nuclear is back in the conversation as utilities, governments, and large power users look for firm low-carbon supply. But the central question ...

The inverter security turn: How Europe and the US are redrawing solar procurement around Chinese hardware

The inverter security turn: How Europe and the US are redrawing solar procurement around Chinese hardware

Solar demand remains strong, storage is scaling fast, and inverter technology is becoming more central to how modern power systems actually function. But the conversation around inverters is no longer...

Why biomining might finally work: How Endolith is using microbes and data to unlock more copper from low-grade ore

Why biomining might finally work: How Endolith is using microbes and data to unlock more copper from low-grade ore

Copper is moving from background commodity to frontline constraint. Demand is rising fast, high-grade deposits are getting harder to find, and the lead times for bringing new supply online remain brut...

Bigger turbines, bigger consequences: how wind is rethinking risk, insurance, and predictive maintenance

Bigger turbines, bigger consequences: how wind is rethinking risk, insurance, and predictive maintenance

Wind remains fundamentally healthy: electricity demand is rising, decarbonised power is still needed, and both Europe and the US continue to pull new projects forward, albeit for different reasons. Bu...

As racks scale, power must change: The AC-to-DC rethink inside AI factories

As racks scale, power must change: The AC-to-DC rethink inside AI factories

As AI systems scale, the infrastructure challenge is no longer just about chips, models, and software performance. It is increasingly about the physical systems that allow computation to happen at all...

Handing back the mic: Six months of data center reality, from Bragawatts to behind-the-meter, and the questions still open

Handing back the mic: Six months of data center reality, from Bragawatts to behind-the-meter, and the questions still open

A year ago the data centre conversation was about scale. Increasingly it is about what happens when the announcements meet the physical grid. New capacity is being announced at roughly 435 megawatts a...

The grid's missing operating system: Why a $100,000 AI controller could defer trillions in hardware and why utilities won't buy it

The grid's missing operating system: Why a $100,000 AI controller could defer trillions in hardware and why utilities won't buy it

The energy transition conversation focuses on what connects to the grid. Far less attention goes to whether anyone is coordinating what those assets do once connected. AI training runs swing hundreds ...
