Santiago Santos, Jason Badeaux, Mahesh Ramakrishnan, and Connor Lovely explore the intersection of politics, technology, and the future of energy infrastructure. The conversation begins with reflections on New York politics and the power of authentic storytelling before shifting to the energy crisis, rising electricity prices, and the misalignment of traditional utility models. Jason discusses Daylight’s mission to decentralize energy markets, empowering individuals to participate in energy production and finance through distributed energy resources and tokenized financial products. The hosts draw parallels between marathon running and long-term commitment, contrasting this with modern shortcut culture, while examining how AI, electric vehicles, and DeFi are reshaping energy demand and financing. The episode offers insightful commentary on innovation, capital markets, and the future of sustainable power.
