Critical Minerals, Energy and A.I. – Liv Carroll, Critical Minerals Expert, former Managing Director - EMEA Mining Lead and Global Natural Resources Lead for Data & A.I. at Accenture   "The energy transition is certainly where critical minerals started, but now we're obviously supporting all of the digital technology and the AI infrastructure such as data centers and others…now, there are conversations addressing the minerals required to feed this ginormous population of over 8 billion that we have because that is actually not possible without mining certain minerals that then go into the fertilizers to ensure that we have sufficient yields to feed the population of the planet…There's another factor as well as them being at risk of a supply shock." Liv Carroll on Electric Ladies Podcast   There are uses of critical minerals that we may not think about, such as how they are critical to our food supply. Now we have a huge need for them with the rapid expansion of data centers and A.I. as well as the rest of our electronics, appliances, computers, automobiles, weaponry and aircraft. But they are also at the mercy of geopolitical and economic forces, and the climate. What do we need to know? Listen to Liv Carroll, a top critical minerals expert for over 20 years who recently served as Managing Director - EMEA Mining Lead and Global Natural Resources Lead for Data & A.I. at Accenture in this illuminating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. Liv has also served on the board of Women in Mining and on the board of the Global Mining Guidelines group for many years. You'll hear about: ●        How critical minerals are vital to our food supply for this massive population. ●        Where and how critical mineral supplies are at the mercy of geopolitical and economic forces, as well as climate change. ●        The role of critical minerals in "responsible A.I."….and so much more. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   "I think it's really important to gather along the way a number of people that you feel it's not just that they wave a flag for you and they're a cheerleader, but you feel that they seriously, they see you, you don't have to explain yourself for what you meant by something that you said to them…the people who really get you, you don't have to elaborate.… And they are often not in the company you are working in at the moment.  They could in fact be a boss from a previous company….The other piece of advice I would say is continue adding strings to your bow. And they might not be the strings that you think you would want or need, but as you get into later stages in your career, they're the strings that will stand you apart."

"While the word 'climate' may be politically charged for some, the need for affordable, reliable, and secure energy is something we can all agree on. Americans are calling for action, and as Members of Congress it's our responsibility to deliver. If we want long-term solutions that address both our constituents' concerns and growing climate risks, we must work together to strengthen our energy and climate security with urgency."

"We realized early on with our digital transformation that really what we're trying to do is digitize processes and …we really want to transform. But the people that own these business processes are stakeholders, they're in sales, they're in operations, they're in HR, finance, supply chain, so we needed them before we could get started on digitally architecting a solution. So… we take a senior leader from a function and ops or a business unit and ask them to be the business process leader…. and we match you to an IT leader who's also quite senior. So these are VP SVP roles and they're the power couple. So we ask the domain leader on the stakeholder or business side, you define the what and the why, so what is it that you need and why? That's the value part of it….They're a partnership."" Elizabeth Hackenson on Electric Ladies Podcast How do you manage business systems in the middle of an industrial-technology revolution when those very systems are transforming too? They also use massive amounts of energy, water and are made from things like critical minerals, steel, aluminum wires, computer chips, et cetera that are all complicated by climate and energy crises. Listen to Elizabeth Hackenson, Chief Information Officer of Schneider Electric explain how this massive global technology leader transforms itself while helping clients do the same in this fascinating discussion with Electric Ladies host Joan Michelson.  You'll hear about: How what a Chief Information Officer's portfolio really is and how they manage it 24/7 across the globe How they are leveraging and managing AI, as well as data centers. How their "power couples" have become a valuable structure for ground up systems transformation with the end user in mind. How they reduce their carbon footprint while helping clients do the same and maintain excellence. Plus, insightful career advice, such as… "First you have to find a company that is interesting to you and what you want to do. And then to me, it's always about focus on delivering what you've been asked to and what you can do. And then opportunity, in my view, opens up. Now sometimes it's at the company you're at and other times it's not. And that's okay…When you're at that 15-year mark, you should have by then figured out what you like, what your interests are and where you want to go next. And you've got to take control of your destiny. And again, I think getting to a company that you believe in, you have the same values, can give you that pathway to whatever it is you're looking for is where to start and then deliver."

"You see corporate procurement of clean energy, predominantly renewable energy, but there's fleet investments, there are efficiency improvements in buildings and on campuses underway….but it was a little different than what we'd seen in recent years. It wasn't just solar and wind. There was an interest in 24/7 reliable clean energy in particular by the tech industries, which won't surprise you, but things like nuclear, geothermal, other integrated technologies like solar and storage…So that's kind of an interesting set of dynamics because it's really diversifying the players in the corporate for procurement space" Lisa Jacobson on Electric Ladies Podcast With the war Trump started in Iran causing gas prices to soar, we wanted to understand where the energy sector really is today, despite economic and geopolitical pressures. Luckily, the new 2026 Energy Factbook just came out with the answers. Listen to Lisa Jacobson, President of the Business Council for Sustainable Energy (BCSE) talk about the findings in the new energy report they did with Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) again in this fascinating discussion with Electric Ladies host Joan Michelson.  You'll hear about: How AI is affecting energy markets and sources -- beyond just data centers. How the energy supply chain is at risk, not just the energy sources themselves. How reliable the grid is today and what's being done to strengthen it, including increasing transmission, efficiency, and resiliency in the face of $800 billion in climate events last year. Why she said AI is "inertia breaking" in a good way, forcing breakthroughs that are long overdue. Plus, insightful career advice, such as… "Reach out, reach out, reach out…We're an expanding sector and so much new innovation, new technology, new focus on us…it's a good time to be in the energy sector …So I think a lot of it's still relationships and putting yourself out there. I think that is key. And certainly I would say to anybody who's listening, don't hesitate to reach out to me.… (and) Be generous with your time."
