Energy at Large is a podcast for those who see energy not just as a commodity, but as the hidden current shaping everything—economies, communities, and the quiet pulse of our daily lives. We go beyond kilowatts and policy papers. Each episode dives into the forces—technological, human, and historical—that drive the global energy story forward. From overlooked standby loads humming quietly in your walls to sweeping national strategies that could redefine an era, we ask: What does it all mean, and why does it matter?
Meet the hosts
Luke Lancaster
Luke Lancaster didn’t choose the electrical life—the electrical life blew a fuse, called tech support, and begged for him by name. For over a decade, Luke has been the go-to guy for all things motors, VFDs, generators, and “wait, we need to power what?”
Tyler Simmons
Tyler Simmons has worn more hats than a journeyman on a substation site—starting in sales, dabbling in marketing magic, and now wrangling the wild frontier of e-commerce. He’s sized, sold, written about, filmed, and probably dreamed about VFDs more than is medically recommended.
Whether you’re an energy professional, a curious citizen, or just someone who wants to understand the hidden systems that keep the world alight — Energy at Large is here to spark something.
