The Politics of AI and Energy, with Phil Deutch

As AI accelerates and America's energy demands surge, some of the biggest questions aren't just about technology—they're about politics.

In part two of our conversation with veteran energy investor Phil Deutch, partner and co-head of energy transition at NGP, we explore where Silicon Valley, Washington, and the energy industry are finding common ground—and where tensions are bubbling.

From AI data centers and energy affordability to regulation, geopolitics, and America's competition with China, the team examines what it will take to build the infrastructure needed to lead in the AI era.

Can the U.S. move fast enough to compete? Can policymakers, investors, and technology leaders align around a shared vision? And what happens when energy policy collides with public opinion?

Join hosts Julia Pyper, Brandon Hurlbut, and Neil Chatterjee for the second half of a wide-ranging conversation.
