Today, we investigate the intersection of the energy transition, critical minerals and defense. As with commodities, warfare is also going through rapid and profound change, with the electrification of defense over the last 20 year. Batteries proliferate the battlefield and the energy transition is impacting national security. We are seeing the shift from capital assets to small, cheap weapons such as drones that can have profound impacts. This poses a particular problem for the US, where energy dominance has been based in hydrocarbons along with their warfare fighting capabilities. Now in an electrified battlefront, supply chains that support them sit in China, threatening the West's defence capabilities. Our guest is Joe Bryan, principal at Muswell Orange, a boutique consulting firm, focused on energy and particularly its intersection with national security. Before his return to the private sector, Joe was a senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense and was the Department sector, of Defense Chief Sustainability Officer. He previously served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Navy for Energy, where he was responsible for policies relating to the Department's installation and operational energy programs. Earlier in his career, Joe led investigations for the Senate Armed Services Committee and served on both Senate's Select Committee on Intelligence and the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. He has consulted on energy policy around the world and began his Investigations. He has consulted on energy policy around the world and began his career working on electricity restructuring and state level policies to encourage growth of clean energy markets.

C'est un marché en plein essor : celui des batteries, de plus en plus cruciales dans un monde qui cherche à recourir à plus d'électrique, et à moins de pétrole. Pour donner un coup de fouet à l'économie de son pays, le Premier ministre hongrois Viktor Orban a invité plusieurs entreprises chinoises à s'implanter, malgré la réticence, voire l'hostilité, d'une majorité de la population. Cette émission est une sélection estivale des programmes d'Accents d'Europe La population hongroise rétive aux usines de batteries Dans 10 ans, les voitures neuves vendues dans l'Union européenne devront toutes être électriques et la course à la production de batteries est lancée. Le Premier ministre Viktor Orban veut faire de la Hongrie un producteur de rang mondial, notamment parce que l'industrie automobile allemande fabrique beaucoup dans son pays. Il a invité des entreprises chinoises à venir s'implanter. Un grand pôle industriel est en train de voir le jour dans l'est du pays où le géant chinois CATL construit la plus grande usine de batteries du continent européen. Selon plusieurs sondages, la majorité de la population est hostile à la présence de ces usines et à Debrecen, la colère gronde : les riverains dénoncent un risque élevé de pollution. Reportage Florence La Bruyère. En Grèce, faire de la radio pour apprendre La radio comme outil ludique et pédagogique, c'est ce que propose en Grèce, le réseau social éducatif ‘European School Radio', installé dans les locaux de l'Université internationale de Thessalonique. Repérer les infox et les campagnes de manipulation demande une vigilance sans cesse plus élevée et l'éducation joue un rôle essentiel : mi-avril 2025, le festival Radio kids Europe a permis aux enfants et adolescents grecs, avec la participation de jeunes Allemands, Français et Chypriotes de s'exercer au décryptage et à la production de l'information. Reportage à Neos Marmaras, dans le nord de la Grèce, Joël Bronner. Chronique musicale Le choix musical de Vincent Théval : Call me back, du groupe Suisse Sirens Of Lesbos. Charpentière et infirmier : l'Allemagne face aux préjugés de genre L'Allemagne fait partie des pays européens qui manquent cruellement de main-d'œuvre. De nombreux secteurs professionnels peinent à recruter outre-Rhin : la santé, le soin, la construction, les métiers manuels ou encore l'informatique. Parmi les facteurs qui entrent en jeu dans cette situation, il y a les préjugés de genre. Certains métiers sont toujours considérés comme féminins ou masculins, que ce soit par les candidats ou par les employeurs. Pour casser les stéréotypes et susciter des vocations, l'Allemagne organise tous les ans des journées découvertes des métiers. Celle qui concerne les filles, le « girls' day » a beaucoup de succès. Reportage à Berlin, Delphine Nerbollier.
Batteries power so much of our lives, but for some people, they power something far more personal: their heartbeat. Research through the University of Saskatchewan's Canadian Light Source has found a way to boost battery life, without sacrificing safety. Dr. Eric McCalla, associate professor in McGill University's Department of Chemistry and lead researcher of study, joins Evan to discuss how the team did it and what this could mean for the future of healthcare.
To reach 100% renewable energy, we will need to store large amounts of energy generated from “intermittent” sources — things like solar or wind that only produce power sometimes. Large-scale industrial battery storage is one way to store this energy. But a recent fire at the Moss Landing battery facility in Monterey County has some folks concerned. A recent battery proposal in Blue Lake, for example, was met with some skepticism.On Wednesday, July 23, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., the Redwood Coast Energy Authority, in collaboration with the Schatz Energy Research Center, is hosting a free public workshop on grid-supporting battery energy storage at the D Street Neighborhood Center (1301 D Street, Arcata). The event will feature a presentation and panel discussion that explores how large-scale utility battery storage works, its role in supporting California's grid, and how storage projects can differ in purpose, safety, size and benefits.Richard Engel of the Redwood Coast Energy Authority joins this week's show to give a preview of how batteries feature into the Redwood Coast Energy Authority's work to transition our energy away from fossil fuels.Support the show

Decarbonizing the world's electricity supply will take more than solar panels and wind turbines. EVs need on-board batteries and grid-scale storage is required to solve the intermittency problems with their alternate energy sources. Batteries are going to be a critical element in the net-zero energy chain. The critical minerals that will be needed for all those batteries is going to require a lot of new sources for lithium, graphite, nickel, copper and cobalt and hopefully a way to recycle the batteries when they are done. Yes, a lot more mining and processing the minerals as well. Chinese companies have a big share of this market right now, at least in the processing segment, but the rest of the world, including the EU and the US are trying to catch up. Currently the best grid-scale storage relies on hydroelectric systems but in most places the dams and power plants are already installed. A solution like the Tesla Power Pack provides other options. But the reality is, we need to mine for materials that the future of energy will need. In this episode we will be talking to Dr. Priscilla Nelson from the Colorado School of Mines to learn more about the past and the future of mining.References: Tailings Center, Colorado School of Mines https://tailingscenter.com/ Colorado School of Mines Mining Department https://mining.mines.edu/Mine of the Future https://www.minesnewsroom.com/news/colorado-school-mines-helping-guide-industry-forward-mine-future

Some years ago our family was vacationing on the eastern end of Long Island near a little village called Sag Harbor. It was amazing how much that village changed, though, over a period of just 24 hours. One day it was a sleepy little town of tourists kind of strolling from store to store. The next day it was a chaotic beehive with snarled traffic and anxious people rushing from store to store. Do you know what made the difference? A hurricane warning! Yes, a powerful storm was moving up the East Coast and it was expected to hit that part of Long Island. So people were rushing everywhere to get prepared. Batteries and candles suddenly appeared by every cash register in every store. And they quickly disappeared. People were suddenly living differently when there was a major storm. I'm Ron Hutchcraft, and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Year That Everything Changed." You might be living in a year like that right now; a year when a lot of things have changed. And times like these (hurricane times) can really change your perspective on what's important and how you should be living. In our word for today from the Word of God beginning with Isaiah 6:1, Isaiah says, "In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord." Now, you're probably not all broken up over Uzziah dying, but he had been king for 52 years. So if you were 52 or under, King Uzziah was the only ruler you had ever known. And he had brought his nation to an unparalleled level of prosperity and power. And suddenly he was gone. It was one of those years when everything changed. So let's think of these words in this way, "In the year that everything changed." That's when Isaiah says, "I saw the Lord." That's when you usually do - when everything is changing - when the hurricane is blowing you around. Maybe God has shaken your world recently so you'll see Him as you've never seen Him before and so you'll live differently. Now there are three perspectives God wants you to live by in a season when everything is changing. First, Isaiah says, "I saw the Lord, seated on a throne, high and exalted." Isaiah describes powerful angelic beings he sees "calling to one another, 'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of His glory.'" Perspective #1 when everything is changing; "Lord, You are awesome." God wants you to enter His Throne Room as Isaiah did - by prayer. He wants you to see His majesty; to realize that, by praying, you are entering the Throne Room from which billions of galaxies are governed and bringing your life and your needs to the One who rules it all. When everything's changing, you need to dwell on the awesomeness of your God. Then Isaiah tells us he cried, "Woe to me! I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty." Then he describes how one of the angels touches his lips with a live coal from the altar and says, "Your guilt is taken away." Perspective #2 - "Lord, I'm a mess." See, God wants all this change to be a wakeup call that shows you the sin that you haven't dealt with and to let Him touch it with His forgiveness and His cleansing. Then God asks, "Whom shall I send?" And Isaiah says, "Here am I. Send me!" God wants you to look at His awesomeness, then at your sinfulness, and then at the lostness of the people around you. Perspective #3 - "They are dying." You've seen the King; they never have. And God has sent the storm to refocus your attention on the mission of rescuing the dying people around you. With all that's changing in our world, the things that really matter haven't changed. In fact, the changes make the important things more important than ever. Make frequent visits to God's Throne Room, go off and to Jesus' cross to get clean, and go on frequent missions to take some people to heaven with you. With the storm intensifying, focus on the things that really matter so this can be the time when you really see the Lord.

Dr. Mark Jacobson is a professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Director of the Atmosphere Energy Program at Stanford University, where he's been one of the most vocal advocates for powering the world entirely with wind, water, and solar energy. No nuclear, no carbon capture, no fossil fuels of any kind. His research team has created 100% renewable energy roadmaps for all 50 U.S. states and 149 countries, helping shape policies like New York's clean energy mandate. In this episode, Dr. Jacobson shares his perspective on where we are in the renewables adoption curve and explains why he believes that technologies like nuclear power, carbon capture, and biofuels aren't just unnecessary, they're harmful distractions from the clean energy transition he sees as both achievable and urgent.This conversation may be polarizing. While many will agree with Mark's take on renewables and the grid, his firm rejection of other low-carbon tech challenges mainstream climate thinking. We believe these fault lines are worth exploring, even, or especially, when they make people uncomfortable.Episode recorded on June 30, 2025 (Published on July 15, 2025)In this episode, we cover: [02:32] Why proposed tax changes threaten renewables[05:45] Fossil fuel subsidies vs. renewables support[06:29] China's rapid clean energy deployment[10:44] Rooftop solar offsets California's rising demand[12:20] Home and utility batteries reshaping grid usage[14:40] Texas grid inefficiencies and renewables progress[18:21] Combining wind, solar and batteries[19:26] Land use myths about wind and solar[22:49] Dr. Mark Jacobson's background and research[27:23] How to phase out existing fossil infrastructure[31:36] Dr. Jacobson's rejection of carbon capture[36:52] His thoughts on nuclear[42:11] Dr. Jacobson's thoughts on geothermal[46:19] How he sees the next decade unfolding Enjoyed this episode?

AI thinks it's OK to steal and blackmail you! Today we dive deep into the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, highlighting both its disruptive promise and emerging risks. New research showing that large language models (LLMs) often resort to manipulative behavior when put under pressure, raising ethical and control concerns. We also talk about investment strategies around AI infrastructure, noting underperformance in traditional strategies like small-cap, international, and value investing. We also explore a new MIT study suggesting AI may reduce cognitive engagement and critical thinking and widespread reliance on AI tools could lead to long-term intellectual decline. We discuss... A recent study showed that in simulated scenarios, AI models like Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini frequently resorted to blackmail when "cornered." All major large language models displayed concerning behavior in adversarial tests, highlighting a broader industry problem. AI is surprisingly poor at basic math tasks despite being computer-based, which raises risks for business use in financial roles. Apple is rumored to partner with Anthropic (Claude) for Siri instead of acquiring them outright. AI tools have shown 85.5% accuracy on challenging medical cases, compared to 20% accuracy by experienced physicians. The use of AI in healthcare may not replace doctors but is expected to enhance their capabilities significantly. Elon Musk warned AI development may soon face power supply bottlenecks, particularly due to training instability during grid fluctuations. Battery storage is becoming critical to stabilize AI-related energy demands, similar to power issues seen in crypto mining. Broader investment trends include AI, nuclear, space, blockchain, and cannabis, with many investors still concentrating on the "Magnificent Seven." Traditional diversification strategies like small-cap, value, and international investing have underperformed for decades. Despite high valuations, the U.S. remains the most attractive market compared to overregulated or unstable alternatives like Europe or China. A recent MIT study suggested AI use may lead to cognitive decline, describing users as becoming “cognitively bankrupt.” Reliance on AI could undermine critical thinking, especially among younger generations. AI, like social media, might make society dumber by eliminating the need for deep thinking.
