As America’s AI ambitions ramp up and compete with China, one issue remains at tops of minds for both tech leaders and everyday Americans: will the increasing energy demands of AI and data centers drive up household utility bills? The solar and storage industry has a clear answer: fast-to-build and affordable solar paired with battery storage is ready to provide plentiful power for everybody and propel America far ahead into the lead in the AI race. Redwood Materials is a national leader in securing the minerals and producing the energy storage systems that tech companies are using to power new data centers. Claire McConnell, Redwood’s Vice President of Energy Storage, joins Good Energy to discuss the evolving AI-energy landscape and the key role batteries are playing in it. Good Energy is hosted by Stephanie Bosh, Colin Silver, and the ⁠Solar Energy Industries Association⁠.

Energy storage is growing segment of America’s energy makeup and a critical aspect of SEIA’s footprint; storage is especially well-suited to pair with solar: the fastest and most cost-effective energy generation technology on the market. Together, solar and storage are boosting energy reliability for millions of Americans and keeping energy costs down as power demand spikes. SEIA’s energy storage experts—Joan White and Emily Burlinghaus—join SEIA’s Good Energy podcast to talk more about the literal power energy storage brings to Americans and to discuss several exciting announcements SEIA is making in the energy storage space.Episode #38 - The Energy Storage RevolutionGood Energy is hosted by Stephanie Bosh, Colin Silver, and the ⁠Solar Energy Industries Association⁠.

Battery energy storage is playing an increasingly critical role in America’s power grids, securing reliable and affordable power for homes and businesses during periods of extreme weather and heightened demand. In light of these trends, SEIA, as the national trade association for the solar and storage industry, has partnered with Benchmark Mineral Intelligence (BMI), an internationally-acclaimed research firm, to produce the quarterly Energy Storage Market Outlook (ESMO) report. Iola Hughes from BMI joins Good Energy to discuss the key findings and takeaways from the inaugural report. Episode #37 - The Energy Storage Market Outlook Report Good Energy is hosted by Stephanie Bosh, Colin Silver, and the ⁠Solar Energy Industries Association⁠.

In late 2025, permitting reform for energy projects became a major priority for Congress, and with good reason. Consistently rising energy costs, compounded by rising demand from the AI race, show the drastic need to get new energy projects up and running as soon as possible. However, Congress’ permitting solutions failed to address one major hurdle for new electrons: the Administration’s regulatory slowdown of fast-to-build and cost-effective solar projects. Representative Susie Lee of Nevada sounded the alarm to her colleagues in Washington on this gap in the legislation, and she joins the Good Energy podcast as Congress continues to negotiate and perfect permitting reform legislation. Episode #36 - Getting Permitting Reform Right with Representative Susie Lee Good Energy is hosted by Stephanie Bosh, Colin Silver, and the Solar Energy Industries Association.

Solar energy has been a transformative tool for American agriculture, giving farmers a steady source of income that protects soils and fosters biodiversity. Solar grazing is one win-win, where livestock and panels exist on the same parcels of land. Stacie Peterson is the Executive Director of the American Solar Grazing Association and, in this episode, discusses how solar grazing benefits both farmers and livestock.

Solar Holler Founder and CEO Dan Conant discusses his experience running a solar business in West Virginia and what he envisions for the future.
