In this episode, Carolyn Kissane, Assistant Dean MS in Global Affairs, Global Security, Conflict and Cybercrime at NYU sits down with Kevin Skillern, Managing Partner at Energy Innovation Capital to explore why we’re currently in a “golden age of innovation” for the energy sector and what it means for investors, operators, and policymakers.

Key insights from the episode include:

• Energy as the foundation of modern prosperity and the need to balance growth, emissions reduction, and security.

• Affordability and reliability as non-negotiables, keeping secure supply at the center of decarbonization strategies.

• Methane mitigation as the fastest lever: how large-scale detection can cut global emissions by 4–5% with technologies ready to scale today.

• Shifting supply chains and breakthrough technologies, from rare earths outside China to next-gen batteries driving 20–30% cost reductions.
