In this episode of PWR-HR, Energy Espresso hosts Travis Simmering and Dave Bosco kick things off with a lighthearted putting challenge—swapping putters and facing off on the green.

From there, they dive into the latest developments in the energy sector, covering everything from Scottie Scheffler’s PGA Championship victory to how data centers and AI are reshaping energy demand.

The conversation explores the evolving debate between natural gas and renewables, recent major acquisitions in the power space, grid reliability challenges, and concerns over Chinese-made components in U.S. solar infrastructure.

Tune in for a lively mix of sports, energy insights, and the signature banter that makes PWR-HR a must-listen.
