  • S2 E1 | All Models are Wrong But Some Are Useful
    2025/02/17

    We want to welcome everyone to season two of the Future of Energy podcast, sponsored by the Ershaghi Center for Energy Transition at the Viterbi School of Engineering at the University of Southern California. We hope you followed us in season one if so welcome back. If you are new to the program we try to cover the vast size and complexity of the energy transition by interviewing experts in a wide array of fields in an informal, conversation format using our student co-host to do most of the interviews. This season we have two new student co-hosts so welcome Milia and Rochan. Our first topic is climate modeling. We frequently hear about the results of those models in terms of average global temperature forecasts but how do climate scientists develop those models? In this episode we talk to Dr. Stephen Koonin from the Hoover Institute at Stanford University and author of the book “UnSettled” and get a look behind the scenes in our episode titled: “All Models are Wrong, but some are Useful: A detailed look at climate models and modeling.”

  • S2 E0 | The Future of Energy Origins Story
    2025/02/04

    We are back for a second season of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering Ershaghi Center for Energy Transition podcast! We are joined by two new student co-hosts, Milla and Rochan. Our first episode of season two shares the origin story of the podcast, with important introductions by Dean Yannis Yortos on sustainability and Dr. Don Paul on how the Ershaghi Center for Energy Transition got started. We are excited to debut a new name, The Future of Energy, and host some amazing guests, with each episode focused on a critical element of the future of energy. We publish on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple, and we invite you to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and share your thoughts. Special thanks to Kyle Koerner for his generous support of this project.

  • Ep 14 | Are We Ready for the Energy Transition?
    2024/04/22
    In our final episode (!!) of Season One of Energy Transition Talk, we look back at how far we’ve come, and look forward to where we hope to go from here. We start by chatting with Dr. Scott Tinker, a geology professor at UT Austin and the State Geologist of Texas. He is also a documentary filmmaker, host of the energy and climate talk show Energy Switch, and host of the radio program Earth Date. We chat about how he got into filmmaking and the importance of media in informing and inspiring the public about energy; the global challenges we face regarding the energy transition and how we can carve a “Radical Middle” path forward; and what inspires him about the future of the energy transition. We then bring back 3 guests who we’ve had on previous episodes: Dr. Don Paul, engineering professor at USC and Executive Director of the USC Energy Institute (see Episode 3); Dr. Iraj Ershaghi, Director of the Ershaghi Center for Energy Transition (E-CET) and petroleum engineering professor at USC (see Episode 1), and Michael Edwards, an energy consultant and visionary leader in social change, digital transformation, and the energy transition (see Episode 6). We ask each of them to comment on various aspects of the question: are we ready for the energy transition? Finally, we end by summarizing Season One of the podcast and reflecting on our key takeaways from all the conversations we’ve had with our amazing guests! 02:16 Interview with Dr. Tinker 28:20 Panel with Dr. Ershaghi and Dr. Paul 52:40 Interview with Michael Edwards 01:11:10 Reflection and Concluding Remarks Thank you so much for coming along on this journey with us! We hope you enjoyed listening to these conversations and learned a thing or two about the energy transition that you can share with a friend. And we hope that you will continue to stay involved in the energy transition, whatever that looks like for you, because the energy transition is up to you and me. Don’t forget to subscribe to our podcast so you can automatically get access to our new episodes – you can find us on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we would appreciate it so much if you could leave a rating and review, and let us know what you thought about this episode, as well as any suggestions you have for future seasons of the podcast. Special thanks to all of our amazing guests and as always, to Abhi, our technical guru. This podcast is sponsored by the USC Ershaghi Center for Energy Transition.
