Can cutting methane leaks help fuel the rising energy demand from AI data centers? On this episode of the ESG Currents podcast, Carl Pope, former Sierra Club executive director, and Last Mile Production CEO Zach Wagner join BI climate analyst Andrew Stevenson to discuss how leaking and vented methane has the potential to help meet Texas’ surging power demand. Methane leaks are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, and capturing that lost gas could help ease rising US natural gas costs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last night’s State of the Union Address was, though indirectly, in many ways largely indicative of the ‘State of our Union’; irascible, beleaguered, gaslighted, schizophrenic.

Claim Rebuttal Source Rebuttal ‘$18 trillion’ in investments CNN’s Daniel Dale “…the White House’s own website said the figure for “major investment announcements” during this Trump term was “$9.7 trillion,” and even that is a major exaggeration; a detailed CNN review in [Oct 2025] found [WH counting trillions in] vague investment pledges, pledges that were about “bilateral trade” or “economic exchange” rather than investment in the US and vague statements that didn’t even rise to the level of pledges.” Low gas prices (2.30, 1.99, 1.85) CNN’s Daniel Dale According to AAA: only 2 states w/ avg < $2.50/gal; GasBuddy: 4:150k (.003%) gas stations w/ gas < $2/gal Inherited record inflation CNN’s Daniel Dale Dec, 2024 Y-O-Y inflation (CPI): 2.9% Inherited stagnant economy CNN’s Daniel Dale False (see details) Passed largest tax cuts (GBBB) in American history CNN’s Tami Luhby “It ranks seventh in terms of share of GDP since 1918, according to Chris Towner, policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan watchdog group.” Biden allowed ‘11,888 murderers’ to enter US as migrants CNN’s Daniel Dale ““11,888” number is about non-citizens who entered the US not just under Biden but over the course of multiple decades, including during Trump’s own first administration.” Foreign countries are paying T47 tariffs CNN’s Daniel Dale “In an analysis released in February, officials at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York wrote, “We find that nearly 90 percent of the tariffs’ economic burden fell on U.S. firms and consumers.”…[CBO] wrote in a February report that “the net effect of tariffs is to raise U.S. consumer prices by the full portion of the cost of the tariffs borne domestically (95 percent)”…” Fraud in Minnesota CNN’s Daniel Dale “…Walz admin official said in December that they had “evidence of tens of millions of dollars in fraud to this point,” not $9[/18/19] billion…” US elections claims CNN’s Daniel Dale Disputed (see details) More Americans are working today than ever CNN’s Daniel Dale “The labor force participation rate, which measures the percentage of the population that is employed or actively looking for work, has been almost unchanged…” Ended eight wars CNN’s Daniel Dale Largely disputed (see details) Achieved no tax on Social Security CNN’s Tami Luhby Disputed, misleading (see details) Balancing the federal budget by ending fraud CNN’s Tami Luhby 2024 GAO estimate “found that [$233–521B] is lost to fraud annually. But the federal budget deficit came in at just under $1.8 trillion for the most recent fiscal year, which ended in September, according to the Treasury Department – more than triple the highest estimated fraud total.” #Contemporaneous Notes Duration: 01:47:43 (longest SOTU in history – breaking the modern record he set last year.)

Data centers use a lot of electricity and water to power artificial intelligence. They're also economic drivers. The issue divides state lawmakers who are considering two bills: One would give developers a tax break if they build in Colorado; the other would regulate their impacts on neighborhoods and the environment. We present the debate with Purplish, the podcast about politics and policy from CPR News and the Colorado Capital News Alliance. 

George Tsilis turns to an unusual candidate for today's overlooked stock. Ultra Clean Technology (UCTT) surged ahead of the company's earnings after Monday's close. As George notes, the company has cleaned up its balance sheet and serves as an unsung beneficiary in the AI data center buildout. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Interview with Clinton Booth, Managing Director & CEO of GCM CorporationOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/green-critical-minerals-asxgcm-vhd-graphite-tech-targets-17b-data-center-market-7556Recording date: 10th February 2026GCM Corporation (ASX:GCM) is executing a critical transition from pre-revenue technology developer to commercial manufacturer in the thermal management sector, with first revenues targeted for the first half of 2026. The company has successfully pivoted from graphite exploration to industrial manufacturing following its late 2024 acquisition of proprietary VHD thermal management technology.CEO Clinton Booth outlined the company's progress through distinct commercialization phases during a February interview. After validating the technology in early 2025 and confirming market appetite in Q2, GCM entered active prototyping in the second half of the year. The company is now manufacturing customer-specific products under confidentiality agreements, sharing technical drawings with multiple customers across electronics, data centers, renewables, and electrical sectors.The VHD technology addresses a critical industry challenge: efficiently dissipating heat loads as devices become more powerful yet smaller. With thermal conductivity superior to copper and aluminum while being 4.5 times lighter than copper and 30 percent lighter than aluminum, VHD offers performance advantages that incumbent materials cannot match. As Booth noted, the market is actively seeking new solutions, with demand driven by electrification, artificial intelligence, and increasing power density requirements across the technology sector.GCM's modular manufacturing approach provides rapid scalability with minimal capital requirements. The current demonstration plant produces hundreds of units monthly, scaling to 1,000 units near-term with capacity to expand 100-fold within 12-15 months. The company achieved ISO 9001 certification in late 2025 and in-housed its product design capability, establishing systematic processes essential for scaling production as sales agreements materialize.Electronics and DC-to-DC converter markets offer the shortest sales pipeline, while data center opportunities present longer qualification periods but significant long-term value. The anticipated first major sales agreement represents a watershed moment that Booth expects will catalyze additional customer interest and validate the company's strategic transformation from explorer to industrial technology manufacturer.View GCM Corp's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/green-critical-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Florida might be “the best state in the country”… but what happens when the families who built it can't afford to stay? On this episode of Futures Edge, Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino sit down with James Fishback (Founder & CEO, Azoria Partners | 2026 Florida Gubernatorial Candidate (R))  for a wide-ranging, no-teleprompter conversation about what he calls the real crisis in Florida: affordability — and what he'd do about it.Fishback digs into property taxes, insurance costs, housing supply, and why he thinks Floridians are getting squeezed while institutions and political incentives win. The guys also go deep on free speech, a Florida hate speech law debate, the state's investment choices (including Israeli bonds), and whether Florida should build massive AI data centers — or protect what made the state great in the first place.In this episode:- Why Fishback says Florida is the best state — but “that means nothing if you can't afford to live here”- The case for eliminating property taxes for primary residences- Housing affordability: Blackstone, institutional ownership, and market incentives- Immigration & housing availability — and how it impacts supply- Florida investing in Israeli government bonds — and Fishback's argument for divestment- AI data centers: grid strain, electricity prices, environmental impact, and job realities- The “30-year-old man” metric: marriage + homeownership as an economic scorecard- Bitcoin reserve (HB 1039) and pension oversight from a macro-trader's lens- Education + work pathways: bringing career training into high school

In this data-driven episode, Michael Blank is joined by returning guest Neal Bawa, one of the most analytical minds in multifamily real estate. Neal breaks down why the market has failed to rebound as many expected, why 2026 may remain a “muddling” year, and how excess supply, construction costs, and policy decisions are reshaping rents and underwriting assumptions. This conversation offers a clear-eyed, numbers-based outlook on what investors should realistically expect over the next several years.Key TakeawaysThe market is behaving rationally, not emotionally — despite abundant capital, investors remain cautious due to fundamentals, not fear.Three consecutive years of oversupply broke historical patterns, causing Class B and C assets to feel pressure previously thought impossible.Rent growth is slowly returning, with projections around ~1.5% in 2026 and normalization closer to 2.5% beyond that.Many deals will never return to original pro formas, requiring investors to reset expectations and focus on survivability over returns.Rising construction costs from labor shortages and tariffs are likely to suppress new development and benefit existing assets long term.2027–2029 may see meaningful upside, as reduced supply finally meets sustained housing demand.For full episode show notes visit: https://themichaelblank.com/podcasts/session511/

The exponential expansion of global AI investment looks set to continue at scale in 2026, with hyperscalers on track to spend $625 billion in aggregate data center capex by year-end. The boom is also lifting players that supply the ecosystem, with near-term demandoutstripping the supply of new data center capacity and corresponding investments materially boosting growth in the broader U.S. economy. Whether AI adoption and monetization will accelerate enough to turn this early investment‑led economic boost into lasting productivity and financial returns is yet to be seen.   But as funding for this expansion shifts from equity markets to debt markets (fueled largely by private credit), some risks have elevated—as a result, in part, from the surge of investments that increasingly rely on debt and the rise of increasingly complex and circular financing structures.   In this episode of the Look Forward Podcast, co-host Molly Mintz explores the credit risks of data center development with Pierre Georges, Managing Director and Head of Infrastructure Research at S&P Global Ratings.   Their conversation explores the 2026 digital infrastructure outlook; analyzes the execution, financial, and contractual risks of the AI-driven data center buildout from a credit perspective; and highlights the development dynamics of power and grid bottlenecks, supply -chain constraints, and tensions between growth, affordability, and decarbonization. We also discuss S&P Global Ratings' view on what could lead to the emergence of winners and losers across the ecosystem, and the leading indicators to watch for an AI investment slowdown—including changes in enterprise adoption and monetization, supply and demand dynamics across the semiconductor supply chain, performance signals from key partners, the scale of hyperscalers' capex plans, and major players' investment behavior.  For more Look Forward content, please visit the Look Forward homepage.

AI models are powerful, but they don't forget. And that's a problem.They hallucinate. They inherit bias. They absorb sensitive data. And once they're trained, fixing those issues is painfully expensive. Retraining takes weeks and maybe tens of millions of dollars. And any guardrails the AI company puts up are brittle.What if you could perform surgery on the model itself?In this episode of TechFirst, John Koetsier sits down with Ben Luria, co-founder of Hirundo, to explore machine unlearning, a new approach that selectively removes unwanted data, behaviors, and vulnerabilities from trained AI systems.Hirundo claims it can:• Cut hallucinations in half• Massively reduce bias• Reduce successful prompt injection attacks by over 90%• Do it in under an hour on a single GPU• Preserve benchmark performanceInstead of adding more guardrails, machine unlearning works inside the model, identifying problematic weights, isolating behavioral vectors, and surgically removing risks without degrading quality.If AI is going mainstream in enterprises, it needs a remediation layer. Is machine unlearning the missing piece?⸻GuestBen LuriaCo-Founder, HirundoNhirhttps://www.hirundo.io⸻Topics Covered• Why AI models “can't forget”• The difference between hallucinations and inaccuracies• Why guardrails aren't enough• How prompt injection works — and how to reduce it• Removing PII and noncompliant training data• AI security at the model level• Why machine unlearning could become standard by 2030⸻If you're building, deploying, or investing in AI, this is a conversation you can't miss.

In this conversation recorded at PTC Hawaii, JLL's Kristen Vosmaer and InfraPartners' George Teodorescu break down what is really separating winners from the rest in the AI data centre boom. Key takeaways: Time to first token = time to revenue. The faster a data centre goes live, the faster investors see returns - making speed a core financial metric. Power is the new battleground. Projects now live or die on energy access, with behind-the-meter generation, gas and even future nuclear options entering the mix. Capital is getting smarter - and more involved. Investors are moving from passive funding to hands-on strategic roles across the value chain. Off-site manufacturing is changing the game. Prefabrication cuts risk, labour pressure and delays, while improving cost certainty. Flexibility beats longevity. The era of 15-year static data centres is over, infrastructure must be modular, upgradeable and ready for rapid AI cycles. Partnerships are critical. No single player can deliver speed, power, funding and expertise alone. The biggest risks ahead? Monetising AI at scale, keeping up with power demand, and earning public trust as data centres become more visible - and political. Bottom line: In the AI era, success goes to those who can secure power, deploy fast, structure capital creatively, and turn infrastructure into revenue, quickly.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explain why unified security strategies are essential in the GenAI Era.Highlights00:08 — One of the cornerstones of AI adoption is security. It's essential to get it right the first time and not backtrack, because compared to the security risks of the past, AI tools and the vast swathes of sensitive data they leverage are in a league of their own.00:25 — To mitigate these risks, organizations need to ensure that the pace of their security measures matches that of AI innovation. Now, the 2026 Microsoft Data Security Index report addresses these issues, how to leverage the incredible power of AI while keeping data secure.01:26 — Ultimately, the report suggests three priorities for organizations to protect their data while maximizing AI adoption. One is a conscious and deliberate move away from fragmented security tools towards a unified data security mechanism.01:45 — The report found that 47% of organizations surveyed had a GenAI-specific control in place, and this year's survey found that an astounding 82% of those questioned have already developed plans to incorporate GenAI into their data security ops.02:43 — When it comes to GenAI, the situation is tricky, because the technology serves both as a gateway for threat actors and as a mechanism for preventing them. When you get this balancing act right, the opportunities for growth are endless. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Atombeam CEO Charles Yeomans joins Chris Lustrino to break down a deceptively simple idea with massive implications: make data smaller while it's streaming so you can move and process more of it—without upgrading networks.Charles explains Atombeam's commercial product NeurPack, how it can often quadruple effective bandwidth, and why this matters across IoT, smart meters, satellites, defense, oil & gas wells, fintech, and eventually data centers and GPU utilization.

Varun Sivaram is Founder and CEO of Emerald AI, a company building software that makes AI data centers power flexible. As AI data centers become one of the fastest-growing sources of electricity demand, grid constraints are emerging as a critical bottleneck for compute deployment.In this episode, the conversation focuses on why power availability — not GPUs — is increasingly the limiting factor for AI. Data centers concentrate massive electrical loads in specific locations, creating grid stress, long interconnection delays, and rising electricity costs for surrounding communities. Traditional grid expansion alone is too slow to meet near-term AI demand.Emerald AI's response is to treat AI data centers as flexible loads rather than fixed ones. Its software coordinates compute with grid conditions by shifting workloads across time, geography, and on-site energy resources like batteries. The episode walks through real-world demonstrations, including a published field trial showing a 25% power reduction during grid stress without breaking compute performance. The discussion frames flexible load as one of the fastest ways to unlock power for AI while improving grid stability.Episode recorded on Feb 2, 2026 (Published on Feb 10, 2026)In this episode, we cover:(0:00) Intro(1:36) What Emerald AI is and how it works(6:41) Varun's background and why he founded Emerald(10:59) Emerald's software for power-flexible data centers(19:04) The three types of flexibility: temporal, spatial, and resource(23:29) How much control customers give Emerald(28:20) Coordinating compute with on-site energy like batteries(31:27) Off-grid vs. grid-connected data centers(35:39) Why exiting the grid creates political and systemic risk(37:12) Emerald AI's open rolesLinks:Varun Sivaram on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/varunsivaramEmerald AI: https://www.emeraldai.co/AI data centers as grid-interactive assets paper Enjoyed this episode?

There are such significant changes going on in how data is managed and in how AI manages data, that it's not always clear which requirements are driving which trends. Jim Curtis returns to look data highlights from AWS re:Invent and to identify important changes that are taking place. FinOps and broader cloud cost management efforts are leading providers to offer tools and programs to corral spending. AWS has introduced database savings plans to provide discounts in much the same way they've done with other services as they look to foster platform commitment. AWS is also expanding its platform capabilities for AI development, with AWS SageMaker integrating additional tools to simplify the creation and deployment of AI solutions. The intersection of databases, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence is creating more focus on vectorization. It's fueled the evolution of search capabilities, which offers a more semantically rich and efficient way to organize and retrieve data compared to traditional methods. AWS S3 now has vector support, taking the venerable object store into AI-capable territory. AI is revitalizing established technologies and compelling cloud providers to deliver more integrated and tailored services.   More S&P Global Content: Next in Tech Episode 250: The Agentic Enterprise Next in Tech Episode 224: Context around MCP   For S&P Global subscribers: 2026 Trends in Data, AI & Analytics Data Platforms Market Monitor & Forecast 2025 Survey Data Hub – Voice of the Enterprise: AI & Machine Learning, Use Cases 2026 Agents are already driving workplace impact and agentic AI adoption – Highlights   Credits: Host/Author: Eric Hanselman  Guest: James Curtis Producer/Editor: Feranmi Adeoshun Published With Assistance From: Sophie Carr, Kyra Smith

In this special episode of the AgCulture Podcast, Paul Windemuller shares his full presentation from the Milk Business Conference, where he challenges how the dairy industry thinks about data, technology, and artificial intelligence. Drawing on his experience as a dairy farmer and global agtech observer, Paul explains why more data has not automatically led to better decisions—and why that gap is becoming more critical as AI adoption accelerates.The presentation was delivered at the Milk Business Conference, one of the dairy industry's leading annual events, which brings together producers, processors, and agribusiness leaders to discuss management, profitability, and the future of milk production. Paul was featured as a speaker for his perspective on practical innovation and agtech adoption.

Recorded live at the NTL Summit in Miami, this episode features Jayson McQuown, Director of Sales at Fala, a cloud hosting provider built to compete with Amazon Web Services by offering governance and security “out of the box.” Jayson breaks down why knowing where your data physically lives matters—especially for law firms using AI—and how weak security can create serious risk around confidentiality and attorney-client privilege. He also introduces RedPill.ai, a “confidential AI” alternative designed to help professionals use automation without leaking sensitive data back to model providers. The conversation dives into real-world legal use cases (like reviewing massive discovery fast), why many AI vendors can't clearly explain their base models, and how trusted execution environments (TEEs) are changing what secure cloud and AI can look like for legal, healthcare, and other privacy-heavy industries.

US data centre announcements are averaging 435MW a month, and there's around 175GW of large-load capacity already committed or under construction. AI hyperscalers are looking for innovative ways to meet their energy demands. It's one of the biggest infrastructure challenges in energy right now: how to deliver reliable, fast power without derailing climate and decarbonisation goals. Joining interim host Bridget van Dorsten is Akhil Batheja, Director of Technology Strategy at Bloom Energy, to unpack why fuel cells have moved from “interesting clean technology” to the epicentre of the data-centre power conversation - and what that shift means for utilities, energy projects, and energy policy.Together they discuss how solid oxide fuel cells differ from turbines, engines and batteries - from efficiency and permitting advantages to “Lego block” scalability - and why “time to power” is becoming the defining metric for data center owners. Bridget and Akhil explore grid resilience and the realities of operating off-grid campuses, how fuel cells can handle spiky AI workloads using supercapacitors, and why a future high-voltage DC architecture could reshape data-centre efficiency. Finally, they look at pathways to cleaner fuels, including hydrogen, renewable energy-linked fuels like biogas/RNG, and carbon capture, plus the role of energy finance and green finance in accelerating climate change solutions across the energy transition.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
