The Red Dirt Agronomy Podcast team traveled to Wichita for High Plains Journal Live, where they sat down with Dr. Shannon Ferrell of Oklahoma State University. In this lively conversation, Dr. Ferrell dives deep into the realities of farm succession planning, from the traditional “farm kid vs. city kid” dilemma to the increasingly common “no heirs returning” challenge. He explains how recent legislative changes in the “One Big Beautiful Bill” affect payment limits for LLCs, estate tax exemptions, and spousal portability—critical details for farm families planning their future.The discussion also turns toward energy, with a look at the booming solar industry, the economics of battery storage, and what the phase-out of renewable tax credits might mean for rural Oklahoma. Dr. Ferrell offers a bold proposal for modernizing transmission easement compensation, encouraging landowner participation in much-needed infrastructure projects. Whether you're thinking about passing down your farm or eyeing new opportunities in renewable energy, this episode is packed with insights you can use.Key TakeawaysFarm transition planning is shifting from farm kid vs. city kid challenges to situations where no heirs return to the operation.LLCs can now receive combined payment limits for partners, removing a barrier to certain succession structures.Estate tax exemption rises to $15M per individual in 2026, with spousal portability ensuring up to $30M passes tax-free.Gift tax exclusions allow $19,000 per person annually without impacting the unified credit.Renewable energy development in Oklahoma remains strong despite upcoming tax credit phase-outs.Solar power costs have plummeted globally, with innovative uses emerging.Battery storage is now economically viable, making renewable power dispatchable.Phase-out of federal tax credits may alter investment patterns but likely won't halt projects.Transmission easement models may need modernization to include ongoing revenue for landowners.Distributed generation could reduce long-distance transmission needs, but grid resilience still requires infrastructure expansion.Timestamps00:00 – Live from High Plains Journal Live in Wichita, KS02:00 – Introducing the Dream Team of Dirt03:15 – Dr. Shannon Ferrell's summer speaking tour highlights04:39 – Farm succession planning: Farm kid vs. city kid dilemma06:32 – No heirs returning: options for farm asset transitions08:14 – “One Big Beautiful Bill” and changes to payment limits for LLCs09:14 – Estate tax updates and spousal portability explained13:49 – Gift tax rules and unified credit in farm succession15:15 – Tax provisions that impact transition planning15:46 – Renewable energy development: wind, solar, and batteries18:08 – Phase-out of renewable energy tax credits and industry impacts20:36 – Battery storage economics and dispatchable power22:15 – Tariffs, supply chains, and domestic manufacturing for energy tech25:18 – Transmission easements and incentivizing landowners27:38 – Distributed generation and grid resilience28:21 – Wrapping up the Summer Ferrell Tour RedDirtAgronomy.com

No one has mapped more territory than NASA. But even their sensors rely on batteries.
Electric vehicles promise a cleaner future, but battery performance remains one of the biggest bottlenecks. In this episode, Tim Holme, co-founder and CTO of QuantumScape, takes us inside the company's mission to build a new generation of solid-state lithium-metal batteries that could change the game for EVs and beyond. Tim explains why the industry has been stuck with incremental improvements to lithium-ion for decades and why replacing the graphite anode with lithium metal could unlock longer range, under-15-minute charging, and improved safety. He shares how QuantumScape's ceramic separator prevents the dendrite formation that has held back lithium-metal designs, and why this innovation can make batteries both more energy-dense and safer, even under extreme conditions. We also discuss the company's recent “COBRA” manufacturing breakthrough, which has increased separator production speed by roughly 200 times. This leap is key to scaling production for automotive partners like Volkswagen's PowerCo and Murata. Tim outlines how QuantumScape is approaching commercialization through a capital-light licensing model, avoiding the pitfalls that have caused other U.S. battery innovations to be commercialized overseas. Beyond electric vehicles, Tim sees untapped potential for solid-state batteries in grid-scale storage and at EV charging stations, where they could buffer demand and reduce grid strain. He also reflects on the global battery race, why careful partner selection is essential for protecting IP, and how the U.S. can maintain leadership in next-generation energy storage. Whether you are interested in battery chemistry, clean tech innovation, or the business of scaling breakthrough hardware, Tim offers a rare look at the science, strategy, and partnerships shaping the future of energy storage.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1115: Ford's ready for its “Model T moment,” the Cybertruck heads to military testing, and Rivian turns EV charging into a Hamptons-style retreat.Show Notes with links:Ford is gearing up for a major EV push with plans to build a new generation of affordable electric vehicles, kicking off a pivotal new chapter that CEO Jim Farley has dubbed the company's “Model T moment.”The EV line will include a midsize pickup, set to launch in 2027 from Ford's Louisville Assembly Plant.Batteries will be supplied by Ford's upcoming $3B LFP (lithium ion phosphate) battery plant in Marshall, MI, creating 1,700 jobs.The Marshall project has faced controversy, construction pauses, and political scrutiny due to its partnership with Chinese battery giant CATL, but will move forward after securing tax credits.It will be the first U.S. EV battery plant to use LFP chemistry at scale—offering lower costs and better sustainability than traditional NMC batteries, though with less power and range.“Model e continues to make targeted investments where we have breakthrough innovation (next gen EVs), and a distinct advantage (LFP batteries)” said CEO Jim Farley.Elon Musk once pitched the Tesla Cybertruck as a military-ready, apocalypse-proof beast. Now, the U.S. Air Force has plans for it—just not quite the way he envisioned.The Air Force Test Center is requesting two Cybertrucks as part of a 33-vehicle target fleet at White Sands Missile Range.A military doc suggests adversaries might use Cybertrucks, which “have been found not to receive the normal extent of damage expected upon major impact.”The goal is to test precision-guided weapons against realistic, resilient targets.The government documents left a glowing review of the Cybertruck saying “Extensive internet searches and industry outreach by [REDACTED] found no vehicles with features comparable to those of the Cybertruck.”Charging your EV in the Hamptons just got a whole lot cozier. Rivian's new Southampton Charging Outpost swaps the gas station vibes for beachside boutique charm—and locals are noticing.The cedar-shingled lounge features six DC fast chargers, a kids' play area, 24/7 restrooms, and complimentary Hampton Coffee.From August 7–10, drivers can plug in for free, enjoy curated snacks, and even test drive a Rivian.Every mile charged is powered by renewable energy—solar and wind included.This marks Rivian's 121st Adventure Network site and 15th in the Northeast, reinforcing its strategy of building fewer but friendlier charging stops.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier0:37 Kyle is at Beaver Mazda today1:42 Announcements3:10 Ford's Next-Gen EVs Are Coming5:37 US Orders Cybertrucks for Target PracticeJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Think battery storage systems are fire hazards? The data tells a different story.Today on the Clean Power Hour, Joe DeBellis, Global Head of Clean Energy at FireTrace, reveals shocking findings from a survey of nearly 4,000 Americans about battery storage safety. While headlines focus on rare fire incidents, 71% of Americans actually support battery energy storage technology.Here's what you'll discover:The surprising truth about battery fires: 89% start from electrical components, not the batteries themselves. Only 11% originate from battery cells or modules. Fire incidents have dropped 97% between 2018-2023, with just one fire per 35 gigawatts of installed capacity.Why public opposition exists: 52% of the 29% who oppose battery projects lack basic information about the technology. Misinformation drives fear more than actual risk data.What's inside battery containers: Beyond batteries, these systems contain HVAC equipment, power conversion systems, battery management systems, and control cabinets. Each component presents different fire risks requiring specific suppression strategies.FireTrace's dual approach to safety: Clean agent systems protect electrical components without damaging electronics. Aerosol technology using potassium carbonate prevents thermal runaway in battery cells.How developers can improve project approval: Proactive safety planning beats reactive measures. Early engagement with authorities having jurisdiction and communities builds trust through education.The regulatory landscape: UL 9540, NFPA 855, and evolving safety standards are creating better frameworks for safe deployment.The key takeaway: Focus fire prevention efforts on electrical components, not just batteries. This approach addresses 89% of actual fire risks while building community trust through education.Connect with Guest LinkedIn: Joe DeBellisWebsite: Firetrace Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

The United States and China wrapped up the third round of high-level trade negotiations earlier this week. American and Chinese negotiators met in Stockholm on July 28 and 29. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the talks as constructive and wide ranging. He acknowledged that an extension of the 90-day tariff pause was discussed but said that the final decision was up to President Trump. As of today – August 1 – Trump has remained mum. The Chinese side's readout was devoid of details, although China's vice minister of commerce said that both countries would continue to push for an extension of the reciprocal tariffs and Chinese countermeasures.How should we assess the dynamics in the trade talks, including the balance of leverage between Washington and Beijing? And how might the trade negotiations shape the future of the US-China relationship? To discuss these questions, we are joined by Dr. Scott Kennedy.

In a market flooded with cheap imports and geopolitical risk, one company is standing its ground.Did you know there's only one North American battery management system (BMS) provider at utility scale—despite growing pressure from subsidized Chinese competitors offering systems at zero cost? Michael Worry, CEO of Nuvation Energy, joins Nico to share how his company became that lone provider. But the core of this episode brings a critical warning: what happens when over 80% of the U.S. battery infrastructure is owned or influenced by foreign governments? And how should engineers and lawmakers respond?Michael takes us on a wild entrepreneurial ride: from building EVs before Tesla was cool to deploying robot kegerators at Burning Man. Nuvation's “garage projects” aren't just PR stunts—they're real-world user acceptance test platforms that prove product reliability under extreme conditions.Expect to learn:
