EnergyPathways PLC (AIM:EPP) CEO Ben Clube talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the UK government's designation of the company's flagship MESH project as “nationally significant” — a major milestone under the Planning Act 2008. Clube explained that this classification helps streamline the planning and approval process, accelerating the project's timeline with a view to being operational by 2030. The MESH project is central to the UK's Clean Power 2030 goals, offering both long-duration energy storage and low-cost hydrogen production. Clube emphasised that “we think we can produce hydrogen at the lowest cost relative to two other technologies available to the UK market.” EnergyPathways has secured key partnerships with Siemens Energy, Costain, Zenith Energy, Hazar Group, and KBR Inc., each contributing to the integrated clean energy system — including compressed air energy storage and methane pyrolysis hydrogen production. Siemens is a core technology partner for energy storage, while Hazar and KBR support hydrogen development. Clube also discussed recent capital raised from investors and directors, confirming that the company has now entered the FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) stage. “There's a lot of demand, we think, to backing the company through FEED and through the development cycle,” he added. The company expects several upcoming milestones as it navigates the Planning Act process and advances project approvals. For more interviews like this, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

This week we take the patented Seattle Nice deep dive into Bruce Harrell's proposed nearly $9 billion budget, examining the Seattle mayor's priorities as he's fighting for his political life in what's turned into a tough election year for him.  David points out how various local media outlets, from KIRO to our own Erica C. Barnett's Publicola framed the budget news through their own lenses. The discussion also highlights the budget's strategic rollout, with Sandeep noting the mayor's reliance on a "slick, produced, 15-minute video" in lieu of a traditional speech.We then get into criticism of the budget, which assumes both sales and B&O tax increases and prioritizes spending on new police hires and, in the face of Trump threats, immigrant and refugee assistance and other supports. Erica criticizes the mayor for boosting spending for what will be ongoing programs with one time dollars, saying he is avoiding tough choices and leaving substantial  projected out-year deficits. She argues he should have worked harder to cut the police budget in particular. Sandeep echoes Erica's concerns about a lack of fiscal discipline but says his concern extends to potential wasteful spending in all city departments and not just the cops. He also argues the mayor missed a political opportunity by not proposing more bold, innovative ideas. We also get into the King County Council's recent ban on rent-setting software like RealPage to try and prevent algorithmic price fixing, which follows on the heels of a similar City ban. Finally, the podcast concludes with some back and forth about political endorsements, and specifically the “odd timing” of Pete Buttigieg's backing of Mayor Harrell.  Our editor is Quinn Waller.Send us a text!

House Democrats are renewing their efforts to reform gun ownership laws in Pennsylvania amid several recent high-profile gun deaths — including conservative activist Charlie Kirk and three Northern York County Regional police officers killed by a gunman. Last Friday, as the Trump administration demanded Pennsylvania share personal data about food-stamp recipients, a federal court ruled other states don’t have to do so. The 2026 governor’s race is heating up, as Republicans look to deny incumbent Josh Shapiro another term as Pennsylvania’s chief executive. State Treasurer Stacy Garrity now has the formal backing of the state Republican Party as expected. State Police are investigating the discovery of white supremacist pamphlets distributed in parts of Franklin County. The funeral service for three York County detectives killed in the line of duty last week will be held Thursday. President Trump says he's using his so-called "golden share" power to intervene and reverse a decision at U.S. Steel.

Content warning: discussion of political violence, grief, and strong partisan commentary. In this wide-ranging Friday episode, the host reflects on the heavy toll of Charlie Kirk's assassination — from the grief of his widow stepping into a public role while raising children, to the surge in church attendance across denominations as people seek faith in the aftermath. The show then pivots to sharp political analysis: the Netherlands designating Antifa a terrorist group, three alleged left-wing attackers appearing in court simultaneously, and Mike Pence's controversial “both sides” remarks — framed by the host as a betrayal of the MAGA movement and a gift to the liberal media. The episode closes on a very different note: celebrating Greenville's Law Enforcement Appreciation Day with guest Joey Hudson, highlighting community support, donated gifts, and the everyday risks officers face. A mix of raw emotion, fiery politics, and gratitude for those in uniform.

Mary Regan, Political Editor of the Irish Times, assesses the current state of the presidential race.

Jo Lum is a Sydney-based triathlete and busy mum who has been a regular on the triathlon scene in Sydney for years.Jo and her friend Katie were originally training for Ironman Australia in 2020.That race was postponed 4 times - twice in 2020 and then twice in 2021 - before it was eventually cancelled.So Jo and Katie decided not to let their fitness go to waste and designed and completed a DIY Ironman distance event in May 2021.They swam 3.8km in a pool, then hopped on their bikes and rode 180km primarily along bike paths, before heading to their respective homes to finish their ‘race' by running 42km around their neighbourhoods.There were even race bibs, finisher's t-shirts and (to their surprise) finisher's medals!I've shared this story multiple times over the last few months because it's a powerful example of two important things: focusing on what you can control and asking for help (and being willing to accept it when offered). 

In this episode, I sit down with Megan Lightcap, partner at Slow Ventures, which recently raised its $64 million creator fund to back creator-led businesses. While both Megan and I operate at the intersection of venture capital and the creator economy, we approach it from very different angles, which made for a dynamic and thought-provoking conversation. We unpack the structure of Slow Ventures, explore what ownership looks like in the digitally native age, and discuss the evolving relationship between creators and capital.

At EUVC Summit 2025, Reece Chowdhry from Concept Ventures made a bold claim:Pre-seed isn't just a quirky corner of venture. It's the layer that will define the future of European tech.“Pre-everything. Backing crazy people. No product. No traction. Just vision.”And if that makes your IC uncomfortable? Good.Reece laid it out clearly:No productOften no teamUp to €3M raisesEntry valuations where true upside is unlockedThis is not a place for 60-page memos. It's a place for conviction, operating instincts, and guts.“If you're running a market-sizing exercise at pre-seed, you've already missed the point.”With a wink, Reece shared some hard truths:“Sorry to our French and German friends—but the UK is trouncing you.”From unicorn creation to capital deployed to founder density, London continues to pull ahead.Backed by data (and a few cheeky slides), he reinforced that high-density talent hubs are gravity wells—and London's orbit is strong.Reece didn't sugarcoat it:“Pre-seed is also about luck. Let's just say it.”And that's why portfolio construction matters.→ Too many GPs still run over-concentrated portfolios at pre-seed.→ The layer needs larger portfolios, faster deployment, and more acceptance of variance.“You want your winners to carry the fund? You better give yourself enough shots.”One of the most striking trends?“Founders can now go straight from pre-seed to Series A.”Why?AI tools let solo operators do more with lessMVPs are faster, GTMs are leanerSeed rounds are getting compressed—and sometimes skipped entirelyThis means pre-seed is becoming a more critical entry point than ever, and if Europe wants to compete, we need more risk-on LPs and ICs willing to lean into the earliest bets.“If you're in an IC meeting with a 60-page memo for a pre-seed deal, please… just remember this talk.”Pre-seed is where the crazy ideas live. It's where the upside is wild. It's where founders take real swings—and where GPs must be brave enough to back them.“We need more European GPs to take more risk, earlier.”Thank you Reece for the reminder: you don't de-risk the future by waiting—you do it by backing the people building it.No product? No problem. Just conviction.Defining Pre-Seed: Where the Real Risk LivesThe UK Is (Still) Leading—Sorry, Everyone ElsePre-Seed is High Risk, High Volume—and High RewardThe AI Effect: Shrinking the StackFinal Advice?

More people back a capital gains tax on investment properties than oppose the idea - but it's not by a huge margin and the support almost entirely vanishes if the family home is included. RNZ Political Reporter Russell Palmer has more.

In this episode of Screw It Just DO It, I sit down with Nell Daly, founder and managing partner of Revenge Capital. Nell went from a career in clinical psychology to raising a $70 million fund designed to back overlooked and underestimated founders. She explains how her experiences working with people struggling financially shaped her mission to help entrepreneurs access capital, why networking and relationships were central to her journey, and how she sees the future of inclusive investing. We also talk about the challenges she faced as a female fund manager, the importance of persistence in raising capital, and why she believes diverse teams will drive the next wave of global innovation.Key Takeaways:Why persistence and networking matter in raising capitalHow Nell transitioned from psychology to venture capitalThe three criteria she uses for investment decisionsThe importance of diversity and inclusion in building successful startups

Trump was losing in the courts. He's not anymore.In the early months of the administration, the courts were proving a powerful check on President Trump, blocking many of his boldest actions. But those were the lower courts. In the past few months, the Supreme Court has weighed in, and it has handed Trump win after win after win.So what do these decisions enable the president to do? And why is the Supreme Court giving Trump what he wants?To pull all this apart, I'm joined by Kate Shaw. She is a former Supreme Court law clerk, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and a host of the “Strict Scrutiny” podcast.Note: This episode was recorded on Aug. 21, before Trump announced his intention to fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and before Immigration and Customs Enforcement re-arrested Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia and began processing him for deportation to Uganda.Mentioned:“Don't Believe Him” by Ezra Klein“This Is the Presidency John Roberts Has Built” by Peter M.

Are you a maker or a taker?  We've made nothing but the good stuff on this episode: automaker OEs forgetting who owns the cars they sold (you) and taking away the performance over the phone (and forgetting the rules of Right-To-Repair as outlined by champs like Steve Wozniak and the federal case against John Deere).  Speaking of tractors, we've got a study of the big-head elitist media whackos at NPR who are either pretending they just discovered tractor pulling or they're actually that clueless.  There's also the new measurement of horse-pounds (when HP and FT-LBs ain't enough), Camping World's big American flags and even bigger FU to every city that complains about 'em, some thoughts about the hazards of folks who break into your country being allowed to drive 40,000lb not-very-guided cruise missiles, and some great video of a small Philippines Coast Guard cruiser outsmarting two Chinese warships into ramming each other. Backing it all up - literally and metaphorically - is The Prodigy and a proper Excellent Weirdo RIP for classic English acting oddball Terrence Stamp (if you haven't seen him in "The Limey", you're missing out - dude could act, and that movie's got fire and some high-Q ass-kicking).
