Hey everyone, Stephen here. This week, Catherine Jigger and I were in Austin, Texas for

South by Southwest ECO, recording a live show. And the show itself went great. We had a packed

house and we got to see a lot of listeners and I had hoped to bring

you the show as people in the room heard it. Unfortunately the AV folks at the event had a mixer

problem and the audio

They were recording ended up being completely unusable and they found that out after they had recorded so we had to get creative and use audio from a recorder near the PA system in the room

The audio your hearing is definitely not optimal, but since we packed up our bags and went to the event to record a show, I wanted to share it with the rest of you.

I'm really sorry for the hollow sound here. We did our best to clean it up given the circumstances so here it is and

thanks to everyone who showed up for the live show and for everyone else we'll be back with a regular

episode next week.

From re-tech media this is the Energy Gang,

a weekly digest on Energy Cletech and the environment.

I'm Stephen Lacey.

With Captain Hamilton and Jiggershaw,

by that South by Southwest Ego.

As usual, we're gathered to discuss and debate the top news stories in the sector.

And we come to you at a strange point in the energy transition here in America.

As one of the only world leaders, I shudder, just using those words,
