Right now, roughly 40% of global emissions come from the built environment. Most of those emissions are hidden deep within the materials themselves, in the concrete, steel, and plastics that are mined or extracted from underground at enormous energy costs. What if that model could be reversed entirely?   In this episode of Business For Good, Paul Shapiro sits down with Allison Dring, CEO of Made of Air, to explore how waste biomass can be converted into carbon-storing building materials through a process called pyrolysis. Instead of mining resources from underground, the company uses sawdust and wood waste that would otherwise go to landfill, bakes it in a high-temperature, low-oxygen oven, and produces biochar, a stable form of elemental carbon that locks atmospheric CO2 away for roughly a thousand years.   The conversation covers why the built environment is such a massive source of emissions, how biochar-based cladding panels can replace steel, cement fiber board, and fossil-based plastics at competitive prices, and why the real bottleneck is not the technology but industry adoption.   Things You Will Learn: Why roughly 40% of global emissions come from the built environment, with about half of that embedded in the materials themselves. How pyrolysis converts waste biomass into biochar that locks carbon out of the atmosphere for approximately a thousand years. Why no building on earth today has achieved a fully carbon-negative life cycle, and what it would take to change that. How Made of Air's cladding panels replace steel, cement fiber board, and fossil-based plastics with carbon-negative alternatives. Why the company is targeting price parity with conventional building materials by the end of 2027 without any green premium.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: Biochar Through Pyrolysis: A process of baking waste biomass in a high-temperature, low-oxygen oven that converts stored CO₂ into stable elemental carbon, creating a material that does not re-release carbon for roughly a thousand years. Above-Ground vs. Below-Ground Resources: A framework for rethinking where building materials come from, shifting from mined and fossil-extracted resources to biomass waste streams that already exist in agriculture and forestry. Embodied Carbon Compliance: A long-term planning approach where real estate developers evaluate building materials based on 30 to 50 year regulatory trajectories rather than current requirements alone.   #BusinessForGood #FutureOfFood #AlternativeProtein #SustainableBusiness

What does cracking open green-shiny rocks in a German preschool have to do with feeding eight billion people without oil and gas? In this episode, Jesse sits down with Oliver "Oli" Jagoutz, professor at MIT and director of the Earth Resources Laboratory (ERL), for a wide-ranging conversation that travels from the Himalayas to the wastewater treatment plant — and makes the case that geology might be one of the most societally relevant sciences of the coming decades.Oli traces his winding path into the field: the son of a cosmochemist who dragged him along on mantle-sampling campaigns, a self-described "failed" almost-med-student who spent years climbing, traveling, and working as a nurse before discovering that he could inhale geology once he finally found it. His advice to late bloomers — it's not your age that matters, it's that you've figured out what you actually want.From there the conversation digs into the Kohistan arc, the spectacular tilted-on-its-side cross-section of ancient island-arc crust now exposed in the Himalayas, and what it tells us about how continental crust forms (magmatic differentiation, water, and density sorting). Oli explains why he came to believe the textbook story of the India–Asia collision was wrong — arguing the real collision happened closer to 40 million years ago, not 50 — and why that timing matters for understanding how mountain-building and tropical weathering of calcium- and magnesium-rich rocks may have reshaped global climate.That climate thread becomes the pivot point of the episode. Oli describes walking away from the decades-old "origin of continental crust" question to chase problems with real-world stakes, and lays out the four areas his lab now tackles: carbon sequestration, critical minerals, geothermal energy, and geological hydrogen. Along the way he challenges the standard weathering-CO2 story (betting instead on the organic side — clays protecting buried organic matter), and walks through a genuinely clever carbon-sequestration scheme that uses sulfur-reducing bacteria and industrial waste gypsum to lock up carbon while making money by recovering elemental sulfur — a chemical the world will desperately need for fertilizer in a post-oil economy.The episode closes on practical wisdom for students: master the fundamentals, stay broad, actually go to the talks (not just the beer), use tenure to fund "Neverland science," and recognize that an outsider's perspective — connecting dots others haven't — is often where the best ideas come from. Oli also explains how AI-driven, probabilistic "hygrometry" of whole-rock data is opening a new path for mineral prospectivity, and why he thinks metamorphic petrology — the chemistry of hot fluids reacting with rock underground — is the science of the future for mining, energy, and carbon storage alike.In this episodeHow a cosmochemist dad and a broken finger started a career in geologyWhy coming to the field "late" can be an advantageThe Kohistan arc and the puzzle of how continental crust is madeRe-dating the India–Asia collision — and why ~40 Ma changes the climate storyWeathering, CO2 drawdown, and the case for the organic carbon pathwayTurning sewage, gypsum, and bacteria into profitable carbon sequestrationSulfur, fertilizer, and the hidden product tree of oil and gasCritical minerals, geothermal, and geological hydrogen at MIT's ERLAI + whole-rock geochemistry for finding copper depositsWhy metamorphic petrology is the way of the futureAdvice for students who want to use geology to solve big problemsOli's "best day as a geologist"About the guestOliver Jagoutz is a professor at MIT and director of the Earth Resources Laboratory. His work spans igneous and metamorphic petrology, the tectonic evolution of the Himalayas, links between mountain-building and climate, and applied geoscience for energy, critical minerals, and carbon sequestration.Memorable quotes"Don't get discouraged when the community thinks you are wrong.

"It's about as interesting as watching grass grow." Ever heard that phrase? It's the somewhat sarcastic comment one might make when rendering something as boring. But ask any homeowner who desires the deeply verdant, non-dandelioned yard, and they'll tell you - it takes work! The greenness in all plants comes from special cells called chloroplasts, which enable photosynthesis, the process of converting sunlight and CO2 into glucose and oxygen. Growing grass is not boring. It - and all living plants - provide for us what we absolutely need. Grass, grows, by the way, at a place called "the crown" - the layer of cells that sit just at the soil line. And it's THE Crown, the soveriegnty of Jesus Christ, that all life and order exists: "For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen." Rom. 11:36We're talking about the throne in this week's episode of Church for Normies ... not grass. Let us know what you think! ▶️ Nate's Message on YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/ytp4e3df

Jim Vander Giessen with Prochiller PROGreen and Nick Gislason from Hanabi Lager join us on Brew Ha Ha with Herlinda Heras and Daedalus Howell. Nick has been on the show before, the last time was this episode last January. Jim Vander Giessen is a co-founder and CEO of Prochiller. He is in California for the ProGreen50 Showcase in Napa. Jim Weatherwax from ProChiller is also in the studio today.  ProChiller manufactures a wide range of refrigerant systems. They have a new product line called PROGreen Solutions which uses refrigerants that have a negligible global warming potential. Herlinda discovered this company at the Craft Brewers Conference in Philadelphia. ProChiller was showing their PROGreen systems at the conference. Herlinda was there with a friend who introduced her to them. They mentioned that they were coming to California soon to present their products in Napa and they have just arrived. ProChiller and Hanabi Lager Nick Gislason is the owner of Hanabi Lager. He is also a professional winemaker and he knows the ProChiller company from using their systems in the winery. Refrigeration is important to both industries. Nick is doing a six-month experiment with a ProChiller system.•-• •-• -••• -•-•Visit Russian River Brewing Co. in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location.

In both cases, there is fermentation which produces heat. If you let the fermentation run away, it ruins the product. You have to pull the heat out and move it from the tank to a radiator outside. The ProChiller PROGreen system is a CO2 based chiller that does not use traditional chemical refrigerants. Those chemicals have a high global warming potential if they are ever accidentally released. But the CO2 has a negligible index, about 1, compared too 500 or more. Nick explains his reasons for chosing to work with this new system. CO2 chillers actually produce boiling water as a “waste product” which is very useful around the brewery. ProChiller will be demonstrating the PROGreen chiller on Thursday, June 11, at Hanabi Lager in Napa. Soon they will hold other demos in the Sonoma County area.

Condensation in an anesthesia circuit looks harmless until it starts skewing flow sensor readings or creating the kind of warm, wet environment where microbes can thrive. We pick up the story after the investigation into moisture and mold concerns in GE operating room ventilators, then move straight into the questions clinicians asked most: which filters matter, how low-flow anesthesia changes the moisture equation, and what “moisture mitigation” actually means at the bedside.We walk through APSF guidance on filtration, including why a high-quality filter between the expiratory limb and the anesthesia machine is a key defense for keeping respiratory pathogens out of the workstation. We also talk about what HME filters do well for airway humidity and reducing moisture entering the machine, where their limits are (especially moisture generated by CO2 absorption), and why sidestream gas sampling lines deserve more attention in infection prevention and anesthesia machine protection.Then we share GE Healthcare's response, including what's universal across modern anesthesia breathing systems, what features support moisture management, and when optional condensers may help depending on clinical usage patterns.If this topic affects your OR workflow, subscribe, share the episode with a colleague, and leave a review so more anesthesia professionals can find these moisture management and patient safety insights.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/310-moisture-matters-in-anesthesia-circuits/© 2026, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation

Dr. Cameron Chesnut is back for Part 2, and we're getting into everything. What we actually did to my face, what the recovery has really looked like, and the honest timeline for results. I came to Dr. Chesnut with acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and some volume loss. We break down the custom laser cocktail (four lasers total) paired with stem cell-rich fat transfer, why he tailors every treatment differently, and how to shop for a laser provider without getting sold whatever device they happen to own. We also get real about filler and Sculptra, including what filler actually looks like when Dr. Chesnut removes it surgically and why he takes a more cautious approach to biostimulators. Plus, the full recovery protocol I followed: hyperbaric oxygen, microplastic-free IV nutrition, red light, PEMF, and more. If you've been curious about CO2 laser, fat transfer, or whether going the long-play route is worth it, this one answers it honestly. _____ Follow Dr. Chesnut here Follow Clinic5c here Learn more about Dr. Chesnut's practice at clinic5c.com Leave Me a Message -⁠ click here!⁠ For Mari's Instagram⁠ click here!⁠ For Pursuit of Wellness Podcast's Instagram⁠ click here!⁠ For Mari's Newsletter⁠ click here!⁠ For Mari's TikTok⁠ click here!

Newfoundland Time, 43-Year-Old Hill Racks, and CO2 Mini Packs Gone Wild | Advanced Refrigeration PodcastBrett and Kevin open the Advanced Refrigeration Podcast with travel chaos and stories from Brett's Newfoundland training trip, including sightseeing, getting “screeched in,” and learning about the 2 and a half-hour time zone. Kevin contrasts with a rough week changing out 43-year-old Hill racks for new Hussmann racks, dealing with tight valve layouts, vacuum work, reused refrigerant, and major electrical/control complications in an old store with fuse buckets. They explain what Atron surge receivers are, why they fail, and common retrofit approaches. The conversation shifts to small Walmart CO2 “baby” racks and common field issues: critical charging challenges with heavy tanks, relief valves popping due to 650-psi-rated filter driers, problematic relief piping requirements, and the need for better high-pressure serviceable solutions. They close by teasing a deeper future episode on these single CO2 units and their controllers.

Le charbon est l'énergie qui contribue le plus au réchauffement de la planète. Pour respecter l'accord de Paris de 2015 sur le climat, les pays de l'Union européenne devraient l'abandonner avant 2030. Beaucoup s'y sont engagés. Mais après l'invasion à grande échelle de l'Ukraine par la Russie en 2022, et la hausse des prix de l'énergie, certains ont repoussé l'échéance ou revu leur calendrier. La Roumanie en fait partie. Le pays touche des aides de Bruxelles pour sortir du charbon, mais a obtenu en octobre 2025 un délai supplémentaire de la part de la Commission européenne, pour reporter la fermeture de plusieurs de ses mines et centrales, malgré les conséquences pour l'environnement. Un Grand reportage de Justine Fontaine, avec Arturo Cimini. Réalisation : Jérémie Boucher.   La plus grande mine de lignite à ciel ouvert de Roumanie, la mine Rosia, ressemble à un immense cratère. Située en Olténie, dans le sud-ouest du pays, on y descend en 4x4, jusqu'au pied d'une falaise noire et grise, creusée par une gigantesque excavatrice. Aussi haute qu'un immeuble de huit étages, elle avale ce type de charbon très polluant grâce à une grande roue avant de le recracher, en petits morceaux brun foncé, sur un tapis roulant qui file jusqu'en haut de la mine, en plein vent. « Et là c'est un dépôt de charbon, explique Felix Tirca, coordinateur du site, où travaillent près de 1 000 personnes. Le lignite est entreposé ici avant d'être envoyé vers la centrale thermique » voisine, précise-t-il, casque de chantier sur la tête, chaussures de sécurité et bleu de travail. On aperçoit la fumée blanche de sa cheminée depuis le site d'extraction du lignite. Cette centrale, comme la mine, appartient à une entreprise publique, le Complexe énergétique d'Olténie (CE Oltenia). On retrouve dans son bureau, à l'abri de la poussière de charbon soulevée par le vent, le directeur de la mine, Nicolae Mirea. Habillé, comme ses collègues, d'un bleu de travail siglé du logo de l'entreprise, son casque est posé à côté de lui. Il reste en contact avec ses équipes via un talkie walkie. «D'après les dernières informations qu'on a, la fermeture est prévue pour 2029. Mais on espère rester ouverts plus longtemps», dit-il. « L'avenir n'est pas très prometteur pour nous, nous sommes conscients qu'on va devoir fermer... mais on souhaite qu'au moins les jeunes puissent en vivre le plus longtemps possible », avance-t-il.  Craintes pour l'emploi À côté de lui, son collègue, Ionel Marius Gruescu, tient à nous montrer une image sur son téléphone : « Voilà ma femme et mes enfants. Moi et mes collègues sommes de la même génération. Nos enfants sont encore petits, donc nous espérons tous que cette mine et les centrales ne fermeront pas », glisse-t-il. À bientôt 50 ans, il ne s'imagine pas se reconvertir et commencer un autre travail, dans une région où l'économie repose en grande partie sur le lignite.  Ici, chaque famille compte un ou plusieurs  mineurs. « Mon père et ma mère travaillaient dans une centrale à charbon », témoigne Boby Monteanu, qui dirige le syndicat des mineurs Cartel Alfa dans le comté de Gorj, en Olténie. Lui a commencé comme électricien dans une mine de la région, à l'âge de 18. « Ma sœur, mes oncles... Nous avons tous travaillé dans les mines. Mais je suis le seul à être devenu dirigeant syndical. » « À l'heure actuelle, moins de 15 000 personnes travaillent encore dans l'industrie minière en Roumanie, contre 300 000 en 1997, quand a commencé la restructuration de l'industrie minière, pointe un autre syndicaliste, Dumitru Pirvulescu, président de la fédération roumaine des mines et de l'énergie. Depuis, on assiste à un exode des jeunes vers d'autres régions ou d'autres pays. Et c'est un gros problème dans ce comté. »  « La Roumanie ne peut se passer du charbon » En 2021, la Roumanie s'est engagée auprès de l'Union européenne à sortir du charbon d'ici à 2032. Mais en octobre 2025, le gouvernement roumain a demandé et obtenu un délai supplémentaire de la part de Bruxelles, pour retarder la fermeture de plusieurs mines et centrales de l'Olténie, la région où on se trouve. « Le gouvernement roumain a eu raison de reporter la fermeture des centrales à charbon. Car le plan de sortie de charbon était basé sur une autre Europe : quand il a été approuvé, la guerre en Ukraine a commencé immédiatement après, ce qui a bouleversé l'Europe », salue le syndicaliste. Pour les partisans du charbon, la guerre au Moyen-Orient est un argument supplémentaire pour prolonger la durée de vie des centrales et, avec ça, maintenir les emplois existants. Ils estiment que le charbon est utile pour la stabilité du réseau électrique et qu'il n'est pas justifié que la Roumanie s'en passe avant d'autres pays européens, comme l'Allemagne ou la Bulgarie. « ​​​​​​​Nous assurons la sécurité énergétique nationale. La Roumanie ne peut se passer du charbon », insiste Mircea Gherendi. Mineur depuis 31 ans, il travaille sur une excavatrice. « ​​​​​​​L'Union européenne a-t-elle compris que la Roumanie avait besoin du charbon ? Non. Que la Roumanie se convertisse au gaz n'augure rien de bon. Car le gaz est très cher », s'inquiète-t-il, face aux projets de transformer certaines centrales à charbon en centrales à gaz, dont l'énergie devrait alors être importée.  Malgré le délai supplémentaire négocié avec l'Union européenne, il y a quelques semaines à peine, les contrats de près de 1 800 personnes n'ont pas été renouvelés par l'entreprise publique dans l'une des centrales à charbon de la région.   Une vallée ponctuée de centrales Juste à côté de la mine, la centrale de Rovinari est l'une de celles qui ponctue le paysage de la vallée. Le long de la route, on dirait de gigantesques paquebots gris et rouillés, flanqués d'imposantes tours de refroidissement. On suit Marius Bizga vers la salle des machines. Il dirige cette centrale vieille de plus d'un demi-siècle. « ​​​​​​​La centrale avait six unités au départ, mais il n'y en a plus que trois aujourd'hui, de 330 mégawatts chacune. Et une seule est en marche en ce moment », en cette période de printemps, où les besoins en chauffage et en climatisation sont faibles, expose-t-il. « Là, c'est la chaudière, vous pouvez voir la combustion à travers ces fenêtres. Le charbon arrive de chaque côté, ici, puis est broyé très fin avant d'être brûlé », explique le directeur, depuis le cœur de l'usine, une cathédrale de métal traversée par de gigantesques tuyaux d'où s'échappent quelques gouttes d'eau des circuits de refroidissement. Marius Bizga nous emmène ensuite dans la salle de contrôle. On peut y observer en temps réel la production d'électricité de la centrale. Aujourd'hui, le charbon représente encore un peu moins de 15% de l'électricité produite dans le pays. L'entreprise met en avant les investissements réalisés ces dernières années, à hauteurs de plusieurs centaines de millions d'euros pour réduire les émissions de gaz toxiques de ses centrales. « La première unité a été mise en service en 1972. À partir de 2004, toutes les unités ont été modernisées, assure le directeur. Nous avons ainsi investi pour réduire les émissions de dioxyde de soufre et d'oxyde d'azote. Nous respectons toutes les exigences en matière de protection de l'environnement », insiste-t-il. Deux fois plus de CO2 que le gaz Au-dessus de l'usine, la fumée blanche a remplacé la fumée noire ou grise du passé. Mais, même si les émissions de gaz toxiques ont été réduites, le charbon reste la source d'électricité la plus polluante : près de deux fois plus de CO2 que le gaz naturel, une autre énergie fossile. La police de l'environnement dans le comté de Gorj a aussi infligé plusieurs amendes ces dernières années à des centrales de l'entreprise publique CE Oltenia, notammment pour avoir dépassé les seuils de pollution de l'air. Malgré les conséquences pour l'environnement et pour la santé, de nombreux habitants continuent de soutenir l'industrie du charbon, au nom de l'emploi local ou encore de l'indépendance énergétique du pays. « S'ils veulent fermer les mines et les centrales, ce n'est pas parce que ça pollue, c'est pour nous ruiner économiquement », croit savoir Daniel, 52 ans, cheminot rencontré sur une place de Targu Jiu, chef lieu du comté. « Ils ne veulent plus qu'on soit indépendants de l'Union européenne sur le plan énergétique. [...] Si les centrales à charbon et les mines ferment, ça augmentera automatiquement le chômage alors qu'on est déjà en train de s'appauvrir. Si on ne produit plus rien, cette région, ce sera une zone morte. Voilà les conséquences de la fermeture des mines et des centrales », s'alarme-t-il. Cet habitant assure qu'il n'a jamais été préoccupé par les conséquences sanitaires de l'exploitation du charbon.   Retards Si les habitants ne voient pas d'alternatives au charbon, c'est aussi parce que les projets qui devaient remplacer le lignite n'ont pas été lancés à temps, voire pas du tout. À Bucarest, la capitale roumanie, nous avons rendez-vous avec l'ONG  environnementale Bankwatch. « ​​​​​​​Le gouvernement de Roumanie s'est engagé en 2021, à sortir du charbon en 2032, rappelle Eliza Barnea, qui gère la campagne pour une transition juste chez Bankwatch Roumanie. Pour ça, le pays a reçu presque 2 milliards d'euros » de la part de l'Union européenne, pour convertir en centrales à gaz certaines centrales à charbon et construire des parcs photovoltaïques. Or, les projets de centrales à gaz n'ont pas encore dépassé le stade de l'appel d'offres et la construction des parcs photovoltaïques n'a pas encore commencé. Selon elle, la responsabilité de ces retards revient surtout à l'État roumain. La Commission européenne a néanmoins été trop « ​​​​​​​permissive » avec Bucarest, estime-t-elle.    Des émissions de CO2 non déclarées ? Il y a quelques mois, le complexe énergétique Oltenia a aussi été épinglé dans une enquête journalistique publiée par Follow The Money. L'entreprise est soupçonnée d'avoir sous-estimé ses émissions de CO2. Grâce à cela, elle aurait économisé près de 250 millions d'euros sur ses quotas européens d'émissions de dioxyde de carbone. Jointe par téléphone, Anna-Kaisa Itkonen, porte-parole de la Commission européenne sur les questions d'énergie, confirme qu'une enquête a été ouverte à Bruxelles, notamment sur ce point, mais n'est « pas en mesure d'en dire plus tant que l'enquête est en cours ». Elle défend aussi la décision d'accepter de reporter la fermeture de certaines centrales à charbon, un secteur qui est pourtant le principal émetteur de CO2 du pays. « Je ne dirais pas que nous payons la Roumanie pour qu'elle conserve ses centrales électriques à charbon », se défend-elle. « Nous continuons à encourager l'élimination du charbon et à accélérer le déploiement des énergies renouvelables. La Roumanie a des prix de l'électricité parmi les plus élevés d'Europe à l'heure actuelle, tout en étant fortement dépendante des combustibles fossiles. Or, on constate que les États membres qui ont la plus grande part d'énergies renouvelables ont également tendance à avoir les prix de l'électricité les plus bas. C'est pourquoi nous encourageons la Roumanie à prendre des mesures en faveur de la décarbonation et de l'électrification, car cela se traduit en fin de compte par des prix plus bas pour les consommateurs », avance la porte-parole.    Panneaux solaires Anna-Kaisa Itkonen estime que la Roumanie a enregistré des avancées importantes pour réduire ses émissions de CO2 et développer les énergies renouvelables. Le pays est, en effet, l'un des États membres qui a le plus diminué ses émissions de dioxyde de carbone depuis les années 90. Eliza Barnea, de l'ONG bankwatch, voit elle aussi des raisons d'espérer, comme le développement des panneaux solaires chez les particuliers, avec le soutien de l'État. Ainsi, « ​​​​​​​ces dernières années, le nombre d'autoconsommateurs d'électricité a beaucoup augmenté. Face à la hausse des prix causée par les conflits internationaux, les gens sont attirés par la perspective d'être plus indépendants du point de vue énergétique, de ne pas être exposés à la volatilité des prix », analyse-t-elle. L'ONG se réjouit aussi du développement de projets d'énergies renouvelables par de petites municipalités d'Olténie, comme Turceni, dont la municipalité « vient de déposer des demandes de géothermie, l'une des sources de chaleur les moins chères et plus propres. On espère que, petit à petit, ces initiatives locales vont contribuer à faire avancer la transition », conclut-elle. Ce reportage a bénéficié d'un financement de l'Union européenne.

Dans cet extrait, Rodolphe Landemaine nous explique pourquoi il est essentiel de réenchanter la cuisine végétale.Il rappelle que végétaliser son alimentation et donc réduire la part de viande est le premier levier d'action pour agir face au défi climatique (1 repas carné émet 14 fois plus de CO2 qu'une assiette végé) mais changer ses habitudes prend du temps et le meilleur moyen d'y parvenir est de commencer puis de façon progressive, avec plaisir, augmenter la part de végétal dans les assiettes.Et c'est aussi le rôle des professionnels de l'alimentation de prposer davantage de plats végé, et de rendre la cuisine et la pâtisserie végétale gourmande. C'est la mission que odolphe Landemaine se donne avec Land & Monkeys, la pemière boulangerie 100% végétale.

Step into Episode 215 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Scott and Josh, co-founders of Craft Culture Draft Solutions, to pull back the curtain on one of the most overlooked profit leaks in the bar and restaurant business — your draft beer system. From foamy pours and dirty lines to bad CO2 pressure and undertrained bartenders, these two Arizona-based draft pros break down exactly why money is literally going down your drain, and what you can do about it right now.Founded on April 1st, 2022, Craft Culture was born out of a shared passion for doing this work the right way — with 25+ years of industry experience behind Scott and 10 years of hands-on install and service work behind Josh. Together they bring a rare mix of technical expertise, hospitality roots, and genuine service-first mentality to a niche most bar owners barely think about. The conversation covers the science of temperature and CO2, the danger of a walk-in cooler flooded with gas (yes, it nearly happened to Scott), keg yields that should hit 95% but often drop to 50%, and what a red-yellow-green system health report can do for your beverage program. Delo also gets the scoop on their current big push: free draft system health checks for bars and restaurants across Arizona — and why they're giving it away.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 2:17) Delo's Intro, Batching Episodes & Why In-Person Always Wins(2:17 - 6:12) Scott's Origin Story: Hensley, Micromatic, Austin, and Starting Craft Culture(6:12 - 8:00) Josh's Background: Navy, Trucking, Logistics & Becoming a Draft Nerd(8:00 - 12:00) The Real Cost of Foam: Temperature, CO2, and Keg Yield Math(12:00 - 14:20) Line Cleaning, Off Flavors, and Bartender Training That Saves Profit(14:20 - 18:05) The YouTube Channel, Free Phone Calls, and Owning Your Beverage Program(18:05 - 21:30) Wine, Cocktails & Coffee on Tap: Why 304 Stainless Steel Matters(21:30 - 26:15) How to Find Craft Culture: The Guild, Distributors, Breweries & Word of Mouth(26:15 - 32:00) Free Draft System Health Checks: What's Included and Why It Matters(32:00 - 36:40) Non-Negotiables, Family Time, Sleep, and Running a Business with Heart(36:40 - 43:00) Rapid Fire: Cows, 80s vs. 90s, Aliens, Beans, and Build the Bar Right(43:00 - 45:15) Best Local Installs, Formation Brewing, Red House Cask System & Kansas City Airport

Professor Lisa Wilson is CEO and co-founder of nGRND, a gold protocol that turns verified but unmined "in-ground" gold into a fully backed, reward-bearing digital asset rather than digging it up. An Australian who holds a South African professorship and lives in France, Wilson is a genuine mining insider — she has written operational and hazard-standards systems for the likes of Rio Tinto and BHP — with a parallel career in blockchain, where she helped list the world's first actively managed certificates for investment-grade carbon assets. Why you should listen Wilson's pitch is a contrarian one: the best place to keep gold may be exactly where it already is. Billions of ounces of verified gold sit classified as resources that can't economically advance to production, with mine timelines now stretching toward two decades once permitting, First Nations consultation and environmental compliance are factored in. Gold, she argues, is unusual among metals — it has almost no industrial use, so above-ground stock is mostly worn or stored, which means an ounce in the ground is functionally the same store of value as an ounce in a vault. nGRND acquires long-term rights (30 to 100 years) to independently verified deposits, leaves the metal "in situ," and monetizes it without the environmental decimation of extraction. The mechanics are concrete: for every 35,000 tokens in circulation, at least one ounce of preserved gold is held in the protocol treasury, and every ounce left undisturbed avoids an estimated 792kg of CO2. The more interesting half of the model is what happens on the surface. Because the land above each deposit stays untouched, nGRND layers a second income stream on top of gold's own appreciation — what Wilson calls alternative land-use monetization. That can mean soil-carbon and avoided-mining carbon credits, ecotourism, data cables routed across otherwise off-limits ground, or wind and solar microgrids, with a single site capable of generating millions a year across a multi-decade rights agreement. Brownfield sites are their own opportunity: in Australia a decommissioned site can carry a reclamation bond north of $20 million, and nGRND positions itself as the party that cleans up tailings and restores biodiversity while still capturing the value sleeping below. The token itself is tokenized through a VARA-regulated issuer in Dubai and backed by resources verified to NI 43-101 standards — a structure aimed squarely at the institutional real-world-asset crowd having its moment right now. For all the heavy machinery of the model, nGRND's on-ramp is deliberately playful: its sponsored mobile games Dig It and Gold Fest have pulled in more than 855,000 players across 200-plus countries and accrued roughly $6 million in rewards ahead of the token launch, with TON Foundation backing and a Base expansion planned. Wilson is adamant the ecosystem isn't just for stakers and gamers — she describes participation streams spanning impact, learning and governance, including immersive digital twins of actual project sites. In the closing hot-take round she leans to the Bitcoin side of the spectrum as a self-described early mover, makes the case that crypto literacy should be embedded education for everyone, and sketches a ten-year future in which wealth migrates away from a USD-hedged system toward assets people actually control — before signing off with a charmingly vintage sci-fi pick in the British fantasy series Catweazle.

At some point today, you've probably used an appliance that relies on HFCs, also known as refrigerants. They're many times more potent than CO2, which is why the EU, US and others are phasing them out. Planet A reporter Tim Schauenberg went undercover to explore the black-market boom in these gases now worth hundreds of millions of euros in Europe alone.

Thema: Forscher der TU Wien haben herausgefunden, wie sich CO2 an Gestein binden lässt. Auf diese Weise könnte man Kohlenstoffdioxid in der Atmosphäre zusätzlich verringern.

John Parmentola discusses a puzzle of how sea levels fell ~400 feet during ice ages and argues global annual solar input is nearly constant, implying compensating regional heating when the Arctic cools. Using Antarctic ice-core temperature proxies and orbital mechanics, he introduces a new “countervailing obliquity precession effect” (COPE): a biannual insolation asymmetry that increases tropical-zone energy deposition while Arctic summer insolation and melt potential decline, affecting the hydrological cycle, moisture transport, albedo, and glacial descent. He estimates the evaporation energy need (~10^26 J) and says COPE energy over millennia exceeds this. He cites satellite/top-of-atmosphere energy-balance analysis (~1 W/m² net gain) and notes tests: second-half-year precipitation bias, possible Arctic moisture-transport bias, and CO2 outgassing seasonality.

En un nuevo informe, expertos de la Universidad de Naciones Unidas alertan sobre el consumo astronómico de electricidad y de agua ligado a los centros de datos que albergan los servidores de inteligencia artificial. Mientras el mercado de la IA está en pleno boom, los autores del reporte recomiendan también tomar en cuenta la huella de carbono de este sector. Somos cada vez más los que consultamos las plataformas de inteligencia artificial tipo ChatGPT, las usamos para generar imágenes o porque nos facilitan el trabajo. Sin embargo, este auge de lo virtual tiene impactos reales: el consumo de agua y de electricidad que ocasiona el boom de la IA es insostenible a largo plazo. La expansión del sector dispara la demanda de energía y de emisiones de CO2 que agravan el cambio climático: "En 2025, los centros de datos relacionados con la IA consumieron más de 448 teravatios-hora de electricidad, lo que equivale al consumo eléctrico de Francia”, indica Kaveh Madani, ingeniero ambiental del Instituto de Naciones Unidas para el Agua, el Medioambiente y la Salud, y coautor del informe titulado "El Impacto Medioambiental del Consumo Energético de la IA, impacto en el carbono, el agua y el territorio" (informe completo aquí). “A veces, para divertirnos, generamos imágenes. Pero una imagen generada por IA consume 60 veces más energía que una respuesta textual”, apunta Madani. “Para 2030, se prevé que el consumo eléctrico de los centros de datos genere alrededor de 400 millones de toneladas de CO₂. ¡Para compensar esa cantidad de emisiones se necesitaría aproximadamente el doble de árboles de los que hay en todo el Reino Unido!" - Kaveh Madani, investigador del Instituto de la ONU para el Agua, el Medioambiente y la Salud Además de la energía, crecen los temores de que los centros de datos acaben con los recursos hídricos en las zonas más afectadas por las sequías porque estas infraestructuras necesitan agua para enfriar los servidores. "Hemos calculado que el consumo hídrico asociado a la producción energética para alimentar los centros de datos de la IA es de alrededor de 4,5 mil millones de metros cúbicos de agua, lo que equivale a cerca de 2000 piscinas olímpicas", agrega Miriam Aczel, coautora del informe. Pese a estas advertencias, los especialistas subrayan que no buscan denigrar la inteligencia artificial: "Es una tecnología increíble. Pero en nuestro informe recomendamos más transparencia sobre el consumo energético y de agua de los centros de datos, así como sistemas más eficientes, e incorporar la IA en las políticas climáticas", precisa Aczel a RFI. El ejemplo de Querétaro, un Estado con sequías recurrentes y que se llena de centros de datos Más transparencia, es justamente lo que exige Teresa Roldán, activista ambiental de Voceras de la Madre Tierra en Querétaro, el estado mexicano que concentra la mayor capacidad de procesamiento de datos del país. Las autoridades estatales de este territorio del centro de México han desplegado la alfombra roja a más de 20 centros de datos, eximiéndoles de manifestación ambiental, un documento en el que las empresas detallan su política para prevenir y mitigar los daños ambientales ligados a sus actividades. Querétaro es también una de las entidades de la República mexicana que más sufre por las sequías. Según el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional mexicano, la superficie del estado afectada por episodios de sequía ha ido aumentando de forma continua desde 2015, alcanzando el 94% del territorio en 2024. Leer tambiénMéxico: los centros de datos de las GAFAM agotan el agua en Querétaro "Las comunidades aledañas a los centros de datos pasan meses sin agua y toda la zona metropolitana de Querétaro ha sufrido apagones", alerta Teresa Roldán. En conversación telefónica con RFI, la activista denuncia el auge de un sector que no trae empleos para las comunidades rurales, ocupa tierras agrícolas y carece de transparencia: "¿Cuánta agua están ocupando?, ¿cuál es su gasto energético? Todo ello está oculto", apunta Roldán. En 2023, según datos recabados por el diario El País con el apoyo de la fundación Pullitzer, la empresa Microsoft obtuvo una concesión para explotar 25 millones de litros de agua de un acuífero sobreexplotado en Querétaro. En el reporte de la ONU, los autores ponen de relieve el ejemplo del caso de Irlanda, "un país pequeño con una carga de centros de datos desmesurada", según escriben los expertos. En esta nación europea, los data centers representan el 21% del consumo eléctrico, al punto que el operador energético puso en pausa las nuevas autorizaciones de conexión a la red eléctrica de la región de Dublín hasta 2028. En Chile, Francia y España también ha ido creciendo el descontento contra los centros de datos a causa de su impacto ambiental. Y en Estados Unidos, se multiplican las protestas contra los centros de datos que disparan la demanda energética y, por ende, el costo de la luz.

And now, your hosts Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy podcast. I’m your host for today, Allen Hall, along with Matthew Stead, Rosemary Barnes, and Yolanda Padron. If you’re going to be in Houston for Clean Power 2026, mark Wednesday, June 3rd on your calendar. The Australian American Chamber of Commerce, Texas is hosting an invitation-only panel and networking reception with cocktails from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at the Houston Club, and I’ll be moderating. We’re bringing together Australian and US wind energy experts to compare notes on how two markets handle O&M, lightning risks, blade inspections, remote monitoring, and where operational gaps [00:01:00] are. The evening also marks the North American commercial launch of EOLOGIX-PING’s satellite-based lightning monitoring system, developed with Adelaide-based satellite IoT company, Myriota. So in joining me on the panel, our own Matt Stead, co-founder of EOLOGIX-PING, and Mark Norman, VP of Edge Solutions at Myriota, and Weather Guard’s Yolanda Padron. EOLOGIX-PING and Myriota have systems already deployed in Japan and Australia, and a little bit in the US here at Weather Guard, and they’re stepping into the North American market at American Clean Power with this advanced lightning monitoring product. So you’ll want to be there and see this new product introduced. It is an invitation-only event, so if you’re at Clean Power and want to be in the room, reach out to us on LinkedIn so we can get you on the list. Orsted finished selling off its European offshore wind business to Copenhagen [00:02:00]Infrastructure Partners, better known as CIP or as it’s a-affectionately called CIP. Now, Bloomberg reports the Danish company is exploring a sale of its US portfolio also, which includes a whole bunch of wind. It’s a decent amount of solar and battery storage in a deal that could bring more than about a billion dollars. Uh, the business generated more than one-fifth of Orsted’s total operating income just last year. Uh, meanwhile, uh, more than 50 US organizers are urging RWE CEO, Markus Kroeker, not to hand back over $1 billion in US offshore wind leases as part of a reported deal with the Trump administration. Uh, so the, the pattern is clear, everybody. European developers are being pushed towards the exit in the American market. The Ørsted situation’s been going on several months now. I, I think it’s pretty much common [00:03:00] knowledge, I would assume at this point. W- we’ve known for months, and I th- think a lot of people we’ve talked to have been saying Ørsted is prepping for a sale. The question is who? And the, the RWE getting rid of their offshore leases in the United States would be a little bit of a odd move. However, a billion dollars back in your bank account is probably a smart move today. So are the, the Germans and the Danish leaving America?  Yolanda Padron: Ørsted’s still keeping their offshore in the US, right?  Allen Hall: Yeah, I don’t know if they’ll be able to sell it off. They own it 100% at this point, right? All the partners have pulled out But I wonder if that’s on the auction block also. That it could be  Matthew Stead: So why? Why are they, why are they selling? I mean, there has to be a reason. I mean, do they have better use for the money elsewhere, or do they just have lost faith in the, the USA?  Allen Hall: It could be a combination of both, right? Both can be true at the same time. I do think the cash flow is an issue [00:04:00] for renewable energy companies at the minute, so if they can get some money back into the coffers and to get ready for the next big run of development, they probably should do it now. But things, especially it does seem a little bit on the slow side on the re- renewable development, except in the UK where it’s going crazy.  Do you think then that they’re looking for American people to sell it to?  Allen Hall: Or Canadian. If Ørsted sells their onshore business, uh, to CIP, it still remains in Danish hands, so it wouldn’t necessarily be a, uh, removal of the Danes from America, not, not quite. Matthew Stead: Yeah. I’m just a bit confused why, you know, why, you know, why would it, um, attract a good price at the moment? So I would’ve thought, you know, if it was me, I would’ve take the long-term view and just hang onto it.  Allen Hall: Well, the, the tax credit’s already built into those businesses, right? I, I at least that’s what I would assume, that the, the tax credits are still [00:05:00] available on a number of the Ørsted sites. They’re not that old. A lot of the wind sites are not that old, so you could gain that tax advantage. It may make sense. It may be a, a Berkshire Hathaway or somebody like that may, may jump into the mix.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, and maybe because there’s not so much opportunity for new developments at the moment, that might be maybe it’s appealing for that reason, that there’s, yeah, not, not so many wind opportunities around, and companies want wind in their portfolios, so. Allen Hall: Or data centers like we just saw with NextEra and Dominion. The, the drive for, for data centers, uh, is pushing the, the power demand, and if you could buy wind, solar, and battery all together, most of it kind of co-located, you could put some data centers in Texas ’cause a vast majority of that Ørsted fleet is in a place where you could plant a data center right next to it. Maybe that’s, maybe that’s the thought. Uh, if they saw NextEra and Dominion join hands, maybe there’s another partnership in the mix. That would be really interesting. Maybe it’s Elon. Maybe [00:06:00] SpaceX or, uh, Tesla could just buy Ørsted’s onshore wind business. That would be a- amazing.  Matthew Stead: I thought they were going into space. Why would they be bothering with the Earth?  Allen Hall: You gotta power the rockets before you launch them, right? You get so-  Matthew Stead: gotta get some power from somewhere. Allen Hall: Delamination and bondline failures in blades are difficult problems to detect early. These hidden issues can cost you millions in repairs and lost energy production. CIC-NDT are specialists to detect these critical flaws before they become expensive burdens. Their nondestructive test technology penetrates deep into blade materials to find voids and cracks traditional inspections completely miss. CIC-NDT maps every critical defect, delivers actionable reports, and provides support to get your blades back in service. So visit cicndt.com because catching blade problems early will save you millions[00:07:00] China has commissioned what is being called the world’s largest offshore wind turbine. It’s a 20-megawatt machine built by MingYang Smart Energy, installed off the coast of China in the South China Sea. The structure stands about 240 meters tall with blades around 128 meters long. That’s a pretty good-sized blade. And it’s rated to survive gusts up to 80 meters per second. But the real story is what researchers are watching after the turbine starts up. Early reports say that the rotor that is massively big will create measurable changes in local air currents and temperature distribution. At this scale, offshore wind creating a physical footprint that scientists want to measure and We have seen this effect here at Weather Guard Lightning Tech, watching storms go through the big wind farms [00:08:00] in the United States. So you can actually see storm behaviors change because of the quantity of turbines, and the turbines are getting to be high enough with the hub heights approaching 100 meters. But nothing as big as a 20 megawatt machine out on the ocean. It’s mixing the t- the, the air quite a bit, changing the temperature. Uh, is this something that climatologists are looking at, Rosemary, or, or, or watching closely, particularly with the, uh, fish life and sea life around the wind turbines?  Rosemary Barnes: I don’t know. My thing with MingYang is that they’re always, like, you only ever hear about them ’cause they’re announcing the biggest something, right? Um, that’s like the extent of it. It’s not like you hear about, oh, there’s a wind farm near you and it’s gonna have MingYang turbines in it. You never hear that. You only hear about they’ve got the biggest, and now next year they’ve got the new biggest, the biggest, the biggest, the biggest. And, uh, it’s like I know that they do actually make some, like, a lot of turbines. I think they’re in the, we mentioned last week, they’re in the top five manufacturers, um, mostly or maybe [00:09:00] pretty much entirely for the Chinese market. Um, so it’s not like I think they don’t make anything. But I do think it’s quite easy to announce the biggest something. This announcement is also like, yeah, okay, but is it real? Like it’s the, it’s a big, it’s a really big turbine. It’s going pretty high, but like offshore, um, there are, I think, onshore turbines being announced that are gonna go as high or higher because, you know, onshore, um, turbines have much taller towers than, than offshore. So I actually don’t think that it probably is a record for the tallest, like, tip that’s scraping. This is a thing that’s always happened, and sure, that’s interesting to have a look at and see if it has any local impact. It’s not like it’s, it’s not creating energy, right? It’s not gonna warm up, um, the, the planet. I mean, it’s, yeah, taking energy out of the, the air and then converting it to electricity. Um, so overall you’re gonna end up with the same amount of, of energy. But yeah, could be interesting to study, study what’s happening specifically.  Matthew Stead: I think it’s a so what question. You know, so what? I mean, I can sneeze and [00:10:00] I’d change the local environment, but who cares if I sneeze and change the local environment? You know, the, you know, the weather is inherently turbulent and, you know- There’s mixing and there’s all sorts of stuff naturally occurring. Yeah, my question is, so what?  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. I mean, it’s interesting in terms of, like, wakes of wind turbines and, you know, there’s, uh, people are researching that more because it’s not well enough understood, I think, for some of the really big offshore wind regions where there’s heaps of different wind farms and, you know, like, you’re gonna wanna know if you’ve got a win- an existing wind farm or you’re planning one, and then they sell, um, rights to build one immediately upstream of you, then, you know, you’re gonna wanna understand how, how all that local atmospheric stuff is, is happening exactly. Um, but yeah, like, it’s not, it’s not quite new and it’s not, yeah, like you said, it’s not unique to wind turbines. Um, so yeah, it is, like, slightly interesting, I would say. 5 out of 10 interesting.  Allen Hall: How much time should we spend on contrails? [00:11:00] Because we spent a good 20 minutes before we started this podcast talking about contrails, which is a one or maybe a negative one on the scale of should I follow this? Rosemary Barnes: How interesting is the fact that air travel is contributing to climate change? How interesting is that on a scale of one to 10?  Allen Hall: Zero.  Matthew Stead: Eight.  Allen Hall: It’s like the, it’s like the cow argument, right?  Rosemary Barnes: Allen doesn’t care about climate change. That’s okay.  Allen Hall: You asked me to put it on a ranking of where it is in importance. It’s, it’s nowhere near m- even a five.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. So Yves said zero. Matt said eight. What about you, Yolanda? How, how interesting is the fact that air travel impacts climate change?  Yolanda Padron: I think it’s, like, a six.  Rosemary Barnes: Six. Okay. And so did you know that, um, airplanes are 2.5% of the world’s emissions, um, come from air, air travel? And did you know that I think it’s [00:12:00] 4% of the world’s warming comes from air travel? Of the warming, two-thirds of the warming that is caused by air travel or airplanes, uh, could be freight as well, it’s not to do with CO2. So some of that is, you know, like other, um, gases like NOx is a pretty potent greenhouse gas. Contrails are the biggest single component, the single biggest factor causing warming from, um, from air travel. And it’s not, it’s not necessary. You know, every airplane doesn’t create contrails in every trip. It’s, it’s a small number. Like, it’s a pretty small number of trips that are making contrails, and if we can better understand how like, what are the factors that lead to a contrail being formed or not, then we can avoid them and, you know, get rid of a, a percent or two of the world’s global warming. I think that’s just really huge.  Matthew Stead: What would you do about it, Rosie?  Rosemary Barnes: There’s a couple of solutions I know that other people are working on that sound very interesting to me. So the first is that if you change the fuel, like, [00:13:00] um, to sustainable aviation fuel, like a, a biofuel, some of those that have been tested also produce less contrails. I don’t know the exact reason why. Would be interesting to find out. That’s one thing. But secondly, um, if you can get good data about, like, very local atmospheric conditions and, you know, let the world’s airplane fleet can communicate with each other and some AI processing in real time, you can make small changes to your flight path to avoid making contrails, and yeah, you get, um, a small increase in, in f- fuel burn, I guess, from deviating from the most efficient route, but a big, big inc- um, decrease in contrails. Uh, so I think both of those are really promising solutions.  Allen Hall: It’s not that easy It isn’t like every airplane’s out there changing its altitude to keep away from creating contrails. There’s whole systems, thousands of people working at any one moment to keep airplanes up in the air. So it, it’s not something you just willy-nilly say, [00:14:00] “AI can adjust my altitude or my flight plan to deviate so I can prevent contrails.” It’s not that easy. It’s actually a huge undertaking, and it may end up burning more fuel.  Rosemary Barnes: Oh, I mean, it’s an incredibly complex system to keep airplanes up and not colliding. Um, I believe it’s not centrally planned. It’s not like you’re not logging your whole flight path any- anymore. I, I listened to a podcast about this the other day, and in the past you used to log your entire flight plan and not deviate from it, but now it, it’s done a bit on the fly. So I’m sure that there are already hundreds or thousands of factors that an aircraft computer is taking into account, um, when it’s figuring out exactly where it’s gonna go, and this would be another bit of complexity. I don’t, I don’t think it’s easy, otherwise we’d already be doing it. But I think it’s, it’s promising. And I think it’s easier than making hydrogen airplanes, for example. I think it’s easier than electrifying airplanes. And the fact of it is that even if you do [00:15:00] have sustainable aviation fuel, if it’s still making contrails, it’s still causing warming. So if you wanna actually s- solve, uh, you know, heating from flying, then you have to, you have to tackle the contrail part of the problem. It’s the biggest, it’s the biggest chunk on its own, bigger than CO2.  Matthew Stead: So did we get here by talking about possible contrails from wind turbines? Is that what we were talking about?  Rosemary Barnes: No. It was because Allen was saying before that we were gonna go off the rails, and he’s like, “Oh, you know what? In no time we’ll be talking about contrails,” like using it as an example of a tinfoil hat-wearing person. And I’m like, “Actually, that is a tinfoil hat that I do like to wear,” the contrails one. Um, not because I think the government is controlling me, uh, with with, you know, targeted hor- hormone or chemical releases via contrails, but because of the global warming potential.  Matthew Stead: Could a, a really tall wind turbine create contrails? What, what’s the physics behind that?  Allen Hall: [00:16:00] It’s just, um, water, right? So you’re just condensing water and shoving it out the back. When you’re burning hydrocarbons, it’s one of the byproducts, right? It’s like in, when, in an internal combustion engine, you see water dripping out the tailpipe. It’s this very similar kind of thing. Uh, so how much water comes out is dependent upon somewhat the fuel, as Rosie’s pointed out, so you can slightly change it, but a lot of it has to do with the temperature, altitude, pressure moisture content of the air, all those different factors play into it. So you’d have to have, in order to go look at it, you’d have to have a bunch of sensors on the airplane, which, which the aircraft may have some of them, but probably not enough to determine if they’re creating contrails besides looking out the window to see what’s coming out on the backside of the engine. Matthew Stead: A wind turbine could not create contrails. The pressure differential and the, the vapor pressure-  Allen Hall: Yeah, it’s not enough to, you’re, you’re not, you’re not changing temperatures enough, [00:17:00] right? So you, you basically have to change the dew point. That’s the way I would think about it. You have to change the dew point somehow, which I guess you could do maybe by a degree or so locally, you may be able to, to change it, and maybe you could. Um, well, we have seen tip vortices, right? So tip vortices, you have seen these contrails off the, the tips of, of, of aircraft wings.  Rosemary Barnes: But are they durable? You know, ’cause like, yeah, you see tip vortices off, yeah, off wing, wingtips, off wind turbine tips as well. But I don’t think they stay in the air after, you know, they, um, you can see them, and then they dissipate usually. Allen Hall: Yeah, it, it depends. You’ll see it when aircraft land quite a bit. Depends on what the temperature, humidity is at that particular moment, but th- those will, those will hang around a little bit  Rosemary Barnes: But I mean, certainly you can, you can, um, cause droplets to freeze from a wind turbine being there. That’s how they get iced up, is that their… Or either their water was super cooled to begin with and it just needs a, a surface to latch onto so that the crystal can, [00:18:00] um, form or also, yeah, like, I mean, in the aerodynamics there is that point between where the air goes over and under and you, um, sta- stagnation or-  Allen Hall: Stagnation point?  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. So you can, um, you, you could get some freezing there. Allen Hall: You can create cold zones.  Rosemary Barnes: I, as far as I know, all that stuff is just causing ice to build up on the blade. I don’t think that it’s, um… Yeah. And anyway, even if it did, like even if you did affect the, um, you know, have some ice particles forming in the, um, the wake then it’s just going to, or I don’t know, get hit the next time the, the, the blade goes through or, yeah, fa- fall out I would think ’cause it’s quite close to the ground  Allen Hall: but- Just to tie into what Rosemary’s saying, although I think wasting time on contrails is not worth the effort, I do think meteorologists do not do enough work on big changes that are happening to the planet in regards to, like, renewable energy is one of them, like wind turbines. I [00:19:00] haven’t seen a lot of work done about are wind turbines changing the temperature locally or not. I mean, they- I’ve seen some top level things, solar panels, but the same thing could be seen about shipping.  Rosemary Barnes: Oh, I mean shipping, shipping was, shipping was, um, cooling the planet until we, um, brought in restrictions on how much, um, sulfur emissions that you could, you could make. But can I use this to actually plug a, um, a, a pro- a collaborative project that we’re about to start where actually, uh, this is quite specific to Australia, to Queensland and Northern New South Wales. We’ve got a study, uh, collaborative study from a bunch of wind farms in that area and getting some academic researchers involved to look at how, like very detailed how lightning is in that region. And one of the questions that we’re gonna look at is what, h- how has the, um, the presence of wind farms, like when wind farms are built, how has that affected the local lightning, um, area? [00:20:00] So we’re gonna be able to answer, uh, you know, like to what extent have these wind farms caused increases in In lightning  Allen Hall: Or decreases  Rosemary Barnes: Or decreases. I’d, I, oof, yeah. I, I’d be surprised if it was decreases, and I will say, like, yeah, that area of Queensland, northern New South Wales, um, you know, they get kind of tropical storms, um, heaps and heaps of lightning, you know, hundreds hundreds of, um, strikes in a single storm sometimes, you know, and, you know, in one wind farm. But even if you think, like, uh, down in Victoria, New South Wales and Victoria, where you look at a lightning map and there should be very little lightning there, there are certain sites that are actually having huge problems with lightning, like way more strikes than you would expect based on the map, and I think that partly that’s also ’cause it just varies locally. But the other thing is, like, a l- a lot more of really damaging strikes. It is something that’s the world needs to do more of, is looking into, like, really local lightning, understanding how the wind farm is interacting with the lightning, causing lightning, how it differs from place to place. [00:21:00] I’m really hoping that, yeah, this, this one study that we’re working on now, and anyone who has a wind farm in that area, Queensland, northern New South Wales, if you wanna be involved, get in touch. The more people involved, the cheaper it is. But I think that that’s definitely something that can improve how lightning protection systems are, are designed, if we just know, like, what’s, what’s happening. ‘Cause there aren’t great links between OEMs doing the design and people in the field experiencing damage. Like, they don’t talk. Even when it’s the same company, you know, if it’s Vestas or GE that designed the turbine and is now servicing the turbines, they, they don’t necessarily talk to each other as much as, um, would be ideal.  Allen Hall: Using the EOLOGIX-PING lightning sensors, we just completed a study over a five-year period, uh, just about that subject. Rosemary Barnes: Where, where did you do that?  Allen Hall: In the States.  Rosemary Barnes: And will you be publishing the results and sending a, a letter to Vestas and GE and Siemens and whoever else and send them a letter, “Attention lightning expert”? [00:22:00] Matthew Stead: We’re probably just gonna put it on the website.  Rosemary Barnes: But is there even a, a, a conference, a, a conference for wind turbines and lightning? Con- considering it’s, like, one of the number one O&M things, like we’re-  Matthew Stead: There’s one in Melbourne next year in February.  Rosemary Barnes: I wasn’t attempting to, um, set the stage for, uh, this is why everyone has to come to our event. I mean, it, it, it’s so strange to me that there isn’t just, you know, like, a big conference every year. I mean, it could be every two years where all of the univ- like there’s heaps of people researching it, heaps of people working on designing on it, heaps of people working on operating it, repairing it when it doesn’t work, and, um-  Allen Hall: I think they’re looking at it from a very, uh, local scale And looking at a turbine taking a lightning strike and the things you can do to reduce damage or what the, the physics are locally, ’cause we don’t understand all that much about lightning, honestly. However, on a, on a larger scale, which is what the effort we’re working on right now, is that we’re looking at several states that are right in the thunderstorm alley and where [00:23:00] there’s a lot of wind turbines, thousands and thousands of wind turbines. What you see is, uh, a real change in the, in the weather patterns and in lightning, but it depends on the time of year. And having the EOLOGIX-PING lightning sensors on gives us a better sense of the number of strikes that are occurring, where they’re occurring on the wind farms. Uh, o- otherwise, all the other services that you could use wouldn’t be nearly as accurate. A lot of false positives.  Rosemary Barnes: But I wanna say, like, I think you’re so right that lightning it- it’s very local, like, and s- lightning behaves differently depending where you are. It dep- dep- behaves differently or it affects your turbine differently depending on what kind of LPS you’ve got. But the problem is that it’s not like there’s, um, you know, a catalog of LPSs and you’re like, “This one suits the lightning in Japan, and this one suits the lightning in Queensland.” It’s one– Y- if you want a GE turbine, this is the, it comes with a certain type of LPS, and the same with, with Vestas and, you know, ev- every other manufacturer. And they’ve all, I’m sure, got types of lightning that [00:24:00] they are better or worse suited to, but the information is, is certainly not out there for someone who’s choosing a turbine, and I don’t think that it’s actually properly understood by, by anyone. Because, like, who’s measuring all of the characteristics that you would need to know to design the LPS better? Almost no one. Most of the people doing that in the world are probably, yeah, on this podcast today. Um, but it’s, uh… And, and when they are being measured, is it being communicated back to every OEM so they can know? Like, of course it’s, it’s not.  Allen Hall: I’ll give you a good example because it happened over the past week or two. Looking at a wind turbine blade that had some damage to it, and the question was, was it caused by lightning? That was the question. And that’s a really good question. So I thought, “Oh, this will be easy,” because there’s gonna be a plethora of- lightning test data reports talking about testing of this particular kind of aluminum mesh on fiberglass surfaces, and [00:25:00] there really is not much. I was shocked by it. So I always think like if, if I can’t put my fingers on it readily, then what is a blade engineer or a site supervisor or someone who owns an asset’s gonna do?  Rosemary Barnes: I saw a presentation at Wind Europe last year or whenever I went, when I met with, with you both, probably both of you there, um, uh, that Polytech did where they had done some fatigue testing, um, of copper mesh and its lightning, um, protecting capabilities. And they did f- they, so they, you know, put some mesh into, um, fatigue testing, I, I think, or they, they damaged it a bit with a bit fatigue, some micro cracks and stuff. And they just did find that it heated up a lot after that. Um, you know, after it was a bit damaged, they were getting like real hot spots. And so then you’re gonna start to see laminate damage, um, in the, the area underneath that. So yeah, I, I think that more, more, like it’s a, it’s a good step that we’re now thinking [00:26:00] of, you know, protecting better than what we used to do with just, you know, one receptor in the, the tip and a cable, especially, you know, throw in carbon fiber and you, you know, make a second electrically conductive path and have flashover and stuff. It’s really great that, you know, we’ve evolved beyond that design, but it’s not finished yet. Like th- all those designs are new. There’s a lot of them out there. It sound like everyone’s like, “Oh, it’s, you know, we don’t have to worry if it’s got mesh over the whole blade.” It’s like, okay, maybe you don’t have to worry. Maybe, maybe you do. We, we kind of have to, have to keep on monitoring those for a few years and sharing the information.  Allen Hall: As wind energy professionals, staying informed is crucial, and let’s face it, difficult. That’s why the Uptime Podcast recommends PES Wind Magazine. PES Wind offers a diverse range of in-depth articles and expert insights that dive into the most pressing issues facing our energy future. Whether you’re an industry veteran or new to wind, PES Wind has the high-quality content you need. Don’t miss out. Visit [00:27:00] peswind.com today. In the current issue of PES Wind Magazine, there are a number of great articles. If you haven’t received your copy, you should just go to peswind.com and where you can read it and download a copy. Well, uh, this issue has an article from ZF and talking about gearboxes. And as we all know, inside every gearbox there are bearings and surfaces. Those tend to be the weak links when things break. And for decades, the industry has used roller bearings and, uh, the same kind basically you find in other machines. Uh, they work, but they do wear out. And how many times have you seen bearings, roller bearings wear out inside of gearboxes? Quite a bit. So– And they, they, they break down, they go offline. It’s, it’s a big problem. But ZF Wind Power says it has cracked the code with its hydrodynamic plain bearings. The company has already installed 36 gigawatts of gearboxes [00:28:00] using this technology, and they say field inspections show no measurable wear. Uh, the next generation, uh, which is a single film design, is heading to production in 2027. So ZF uses a different technique to keep their gearboxes running for a long time, which is, uh, it’s a simple device mechanically, but it is quite complicated in the way you have to design materials. Uh, basically plain bearings are what’s used in, in internal combustion engine around camshafts and things of that sort. But designing those and making sure you have the right materials is the trick, Matthew, and you’ve been around cars for quite a while. It’s, it’s the right approach if you can make it work, and it looks like ZF has done a really good job of making these, uh, bearing services work.  Matthew Stead: Yeah, it sounds like a, a perfect, uh, innovation. I, I heard about this the first time, I think it was a couple of years ago. And, and like you said, Allen, um, you know, cars for the [00:29:00] last 100 years or so have, have been using journal bearings. I probably need to fact check that one. It may not be 100 years yet, but definitely cars from a long time ago have been using these, um, these bearings. Um, I, I think, uh, one question is, though, around condition monitoring. You know, how do you actually monitor the condition of the, the s- the surfaces? Um, you know, with a traditional roller bearing, you can use, you know, vibration techniques. I’m not aware of as many condition monitoring techniques for, for the journal bearings. Um, perhaps, um, obviously the oil, oil particle and, you know, checking the oil quality, et cetera, et cetera. But, um, that might be where the gap might occur. But You know, if they’re lasting, if they’re not degrading, um, there’s no moving parts, um, yeah, great  Allen Hall: The issue is lubrication, right? Because you’ve got basically two well-designed flat metal surfaces that you have to provide lubrication to, and those two surfaces are moving relative to one another. The lubrication [00:30:00] matters ’cause you’re literally riding on a very, very thin layer of lubricant. So making sure the lubricant gets in there, that it’s, it’s clean, and it’s always available, uh, is the trick. That’s why in today’s world, a lot of internal combustion engines can go several hundred thousand miles in a vehicle because the lubrication systems have gotten so much better over the last 50, 60 years. And ZF is probably using something very similar, where the, the technology has gotten better and the metallurg- the metallurgy has gotten way better, and control of that. Because the, the bearing surface really matters, and there’s two pieces to it, right? You got this rotating– To simplify it, you got a rotating shaft, and then you have this bearing surface that that shaft sits on. The, the rotating shaft is gonna be made out of something relatively hard, where the bearing surface is gonna be made out of a mixture of metals that is a little bit soft. So if anything goes wrong, that bearing surface, that little race right there, uh, will wear, [00:31:00] and you can replace it. But if kept lubricated and cleaned and proper, that will run dang near forever, as ZF has proven. Matthew Stead: I think it’s the starting load. I think it’s when it’s at stationary and then starts. So I’m getting that initial lubrication. From my understanding, that’s where the, where the challenge lies. And, you know, obviously in a combustion engine in a vehicle, it’s starting and stopping all the time. So, um, but I just wonder, are the loads higher? Um, how does that occur in a, in a actual, um, gearbox on a, a turbine?  Allen Hall: Right. It’s not like a main, uh, shaft bearing, right? The– It’s, it’s in a gearbox. You have a lot of planetary gears and a lot of rotating com- pieces there But the, I think the trick is, one, understanding what’s happening load-wise, and hydrodynamic bearings can have some issues if things are twisting in weird ways. So a gearbox is probably the right place to do this technique because of it’s a [00:32:00] controlled environment necessarily.  Matthew Stead: Alignment.  Allen Hall: Yeah. So you can, you can control how the, the loads are carried internally to it, which would make it last a lot longer. S- because roller bearings and, and all of the complexities around that, uh, we’ve seen those fail so many times inside of wind turbines because it’s hard to control everything about that. Al- although they, they can be extremely durable, I would say ZF is onto something in, in terms of delivering a gearbox that can actually run longer using, uh, good engineering. That’s what it is. It’s just really good engineering. So if you haven’t seen this issue of PES Wind, you should download it today. Go to peswind.com. That wraps up another episode of the Uptime Wind Energy podcast.

Could your home be the reason you're not getting better?I sat down with Paul Kealey, founder of EcoBuilt, to talk about something most of us never think to question — the air inside our homes. Paul has spent nearly 25 years in construction, and what he shares might change how you see your living space entirely. We get into why new homes aren't automatically healthier (studies suggest over 25% have hidden mold inside the walls), how bedroom CO2 levels can hit 5x what's outside — quietly wrecking your sleep and your body's ability to detox overnight — and why "energy efficient" and "healthy" are not the same thing. Paul also walks through three tests any homeowner can run right now to find out if their home is working against them: a mold dust swab test, a CO2 and humidity monitor, and an energy audit. If you're dealing with an autoimmune condition, chronic fatigue, or symptoms that never quite have an explanation, this one is for you.

In this short podcast from the Bry-X stage of the 7th Annual HVACR Training Symposium, Matthew Taylor from Kalos Services introduces refrigeration pulse valves, which started as a solution for CO2 refrigeration systems and are now common in commercial refrigeration as a whole. He briefly explains how they work and describes their role in the refrigeration systems (and possibly commercial HVAC systems in the future!). Refrigeration systems have moved away from electronic expansion valves (EEVs), which have been adopted by residential HVAC systems only recently, and have been using pulse valves instead. Pulse valves are also electronic expansion devices with fewer parts than EEVs (which often have stepper motors and complex electronics) and lower failure rates as a result. Pulse valves have a pressure transducer and a temperature sensor that go on the suction line to calculate the superheat; these report to a controller that takes the data from those parts, calculates the superheat based on the refrigerant and programming, and controls the valve like an EEV. However, there are only two wires, and the controller turns the valve on or off (like a solenoid) instead of sending pulses out. Solenoids just open or close completely, but pulse valves have a port (oversized fixed orifice) through which liquid refrigerant passes; when the load changes, the controller merely sends power to open the valve when the load goes up and stops sending power to close the valve when the load goes down. The valve is open for a certain percentage, and the on/off function is open for that amount of time in a six-second duty cycle (and off for the remaining time); this is pulse-width modulation. They also work well with refrigerants that have glide. However, pulse valves have some challenges. They may have issues in cases where we have very long evaporators, as there are delays between what happens between the inlet and outlet. Having multiple, shorter evaporators is a common solution to this problem, and these designs are more efficient in general (especially when they can be used with efficient refrigerants that move slowly through the evaporator). Pulse valves also require a computer (though EEV ones are similar), and are less serviceable than other valves; some may require technicians to take the valve apart to take the screen out, which requires replacement O-rings and gaskets. They are also noisy enough for customers to hear them.   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast? Submit your questions at https://www.speakpipe.com/hvacschool.

Fi is back for the first time in nearly a year, and this episode feels like the best kind of best-friend catch-up — nothing off limits. Fi gets fully honest about going off her GLP-1 medication, thinking she'd cracked the code, only to have the food noise come back full force and gain everything back in two months flat. She breaks down what she did wrong the first time, what Oprah's book Enough shifted for her, and how she's approaching round two differently. Mari opens up about an emotional spiral she had the day before recording — staring at Cai and being blindsided by grief and anger about her own childhood — and the two get into one of the most raw conversations the show has had about parenthood, the past, and what it means to protect your kid the way you wished someone had protected you. They also finally tell the real story of their friendship — the codependency, the hard conversation, the awkward in-between — plus Fi's booming real estate career, her baseball player boyfriend who actually shows up, CO2 laser updates, internet mom-shamers, and one nap they catastrophically destroyed together. _____ Leave Me a Message -⁠ click here!⁠ For Mari's Instagram⁠ click here!⁠ For Pursuit of Wellness Podcast's Instagram⁠ click here!⁠ For Mari's Newsletter⁠ click here!⁠ For Mari's TikTok⁠ click here!
