Re: Who should I interview for upcoming podcasts?

How about a show around energy storage.

A recent Lux Research report called it the "the next big thing." Venture investments in “fragmented” energy storage technologies like batteries, flywheels, and fuel cells grew 74 percent to $709 million in 2007 accroding to Lux's report.

Particularly bulk energy storage for utilities —potentially the biggest market — is a potential $50 billion market if 10 percent of installed wind power plants adopted energy storage. (More info here: http://www.redherring.com/Home/24296).

Here's a great read (http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/story?id=52716) on how storage boosts the power of renewable energy addressing wind and solar's biggest problem: its intermittent nature.

So about 'bout a podcast on this theme featuring key players like VRB Power?
