What if the Great Pyramid is 25,000 years old? What if a dark star on a 26,000-year orbit periodically hurls swarms of comets at Earth, triggering ice ages and resetting civilization back to zero? And what if the warming period we're living in right now, the one we've been told is a crisis, is actually the best thing that ever happened to us?Randall Carlson is a master geologist, a cosmological detective, and one of the people most responsible for blowing open the Younger Dryas impact theory alongside Graham Hancock. In this conversation, we go deep into the energy paradox that mainstream science still can't explain, the evidence that our planet has been through multiple civilization-ending floods (not just one), and an Italian engineer's study that dates the Khufu Pyramid to roughly 23,000 BC based on erosion analysis of the limestone base.We get into the precessional cycle, the sacred numbers encoded across ancient cultures from Egypt to India to the cathedrals of medieval Europe, and why ancient peoples were so obsessed with tracking the heavens. Spoiler: it wasn't for fun. It was survival data.We also take a hard look at the climate narrative. Randall walks through the Medieval Warm Period, when Europe was warmer than today and civilization flourished, population boomed, and they built cathedrals that still stand. Then the cooling came, crops failed, immune systems collapsed, and the bubonic plague wiped out half the continent. The pattern is clear: warming is flourishing. Cooling is death. And our modern warming trend started a full century before human CO2 emissions even registered as a signal.Plus: the missing 18 years of Jesus, why the quest for the Holy Grail is really about knowing when to ask the right questions, and the Predator analogy you didn't know you needed to understand catastrophic geology.This is the first of what will be many conversations with Randall.

De lente hangt in de lucht, maar bij de heren van de Praattafel stijgt het kwik tot ver boven de stratosfeer! In deze bomvolle aflevering vliegen we van een spectaculaire meteoor boven Vlaanderen naar de vlijmscherpe concurrentiestrijd tussen de VS en China in de nieuwe Space Race. Waarom heeft Boeing problemen, hoe vervuilend is de droom van Elon Musk eigenlijk, en kunnen we binnenkort met een lift naar de maan? Maar we blijven niet alleen in de sterren hangen; we landen met een smak in Zaventem voor een bizar verhaal over een illegaal mortuarium en duiken in de nostalgie van brandstofprijzen. Sluit af met de enige echte Lente-Trivia en een prachtig gedicht. Pak je koffie (of je CO2-meter) erbij en laat je meeslepen door Istvan, Kris, Mario en Minya!

South Korean-built vehicles face a 15% US tariff that could rise to 25%, while US-built models from Kia's Georgia plant continue unaffected.MG TEASES MG 2 SMALL EV FOR 2027MG will reveal a concept car at Goodwood Festival of Speed in July previewing the MG 2, a small EV expected to measure around four metres long and sit below the MG 4 Urban in price and size. Due at the end of 2027, the MG 2 will target rivals like the Renault 5 and BYD Dolphin Surf, using the E3 platform and potentially a semi-solid-state battery.AMG SHOWS GT 4-DOOR PRODUCTION INTERIORMercedes-AMG has revealed the production interior of the GT 4-Door electric car ahead of its full unveil, featuring a 10.2-inch driver display, a 14-inch central touchscreen, and a 14-inch passenger screen targeting Chinese market tastes. The car is built on AMG's new AMG.EA electric platform and delivers 1,360 hp, proven during an eight-day 300 km/h endurance run at Nardo.FERRARI TEASES LUCE EV AHEAD OF DEBUTFerrari has released a brief nighttime teaser video of its upcoming Luce EV, which is set to debut next month and is expected to be a crossover slightly smaller than the Purosangue with a Jony Ive-designed interior. The Luce uses a bespoke in-house platform with a structural battery pack, four electric motors producing around 1,000 hp, and an anticipated range of over 310 miles.IRELAND EXPANDS ZERO-EMISSION TRUCK AND BUS GRANTSIreland has expanded its ZEHDV grant scheme to include a second funding stream, offering companies up to €500,000 per year for zero-emission truck and bus purchases and up to €300,000 for depot and hub charging infrastructure. The expanded programme aims to close the price gap with diesel alternatives while building out the charging network needed to support fleet electrification.UK HITS 1,000 ELECTRIC HGV MILESTONEThe UK reached 1,000 registered electric heavy goods vehicles in 2025, with eHGV registrations rising 171% year-on-year, though zero-emission trucks still represent just 1.4% of the total HGV market. GRIDSERVE's Electric Freightway programme supplied over a quarter of all new electric truck registrations and has opened the first publicly accessible eHGV charging hubs, with more sites planned through 2026.MAN PUTS LION'S COACH 14 E THROUGH -30°C TESTMAN Truck & Bus has completed winter testing of its first battery-electric coach, the Lion's Coach 14 E, in conditions as low as -30°C in northern Sweden and Turkey, focusing on battery performance, thermal management, and interior heating. The coach offers 320–480 kWh of usable energy and a range of up to 650 km under optimal conditions, seating up to 63 passengers with luggage capacity matching its diesel equivalent.STELLANTIS WARNS UK SALES RETREAT OVER ZEV RULESStellantis has warned it may reduce its UK sales operations unless the government reforms the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, arguing the rules force manufacturers to lose money while giving Chinese importers a competitive advantage. Chinese brands now hold 14% of the total UK market and 17% of the UK EV segment, while Stellantis faces potential fines of £12,000 per car for missing its compliance targets.VW STARTS ID. BUZZ AD PRE-SERIES BUILDVolkswagen Commercial Vehicles has begun pre-series production of the autonomous ID. Buzz AD at its Hanover plant, with around 500 vehicles planned before the end of 2026 for deployment in European and US projects. Developed with subsidiary Moia and Israeli partner Mobileye, each vehicle receives a roof module with cameras, radar, and lidar after the main production line, with full series production set for 2027.UK EMISSIONS HIT LOWEST LEVEL SINCE 1872UK greenhouse gas emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 to 364 MtCO2e, the lowest since 1872, driven largely by the closure of the last coal-fired power plant and a 56% drop in coal demand. The UK's nearly three million electrified vehicles now save over seven million tonnes of CO2 annually, with transport remaining the country's largest emitting sector and the primary focus for future cuts.

Kan vi køle jorden ned med kunstige skyer? Eller sætte spejle op i rummet og reflektere lyset tilbage, hvor det kom fra? Eller måske lade kunstige vulkaner udspy partikler, så der lægger sig et beskyttende lag over os? "Geoengineering" er fællesbetegnelsen for vilde tekniske idéer til at kontrollere jordens klima og miljø. Men er de overhovedet realistiske? Hvad er ulemperne? Og hvorfor hører vi nu især meget om at fange og lagre CO2 i faste stoffer og undergrunden? Gæst: Professor Philip Loldrup Fosbøl, Institut for Kemiteknik på Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU).

In 2011, archaeologists rediscovered an ancient "gate to hell" in the city of Hierapolis, Turkey. This stone doorway leads to a small cave-like grotto and was once thought to be an entrance to the underworld. The gate, also called the Plutonium, sits above a fissure that releases deadly volcanic carbon dioxide (CO2). Visitors to the site in ancient times would see a visible mist of this gas rising from the ground. Even today, the area is dangerous—birds that fly too close to the gate suffocate from the toxic fumes. The city of Hierapolis is just one of many places on Earth where you aren't welcome, but can still check them out in our video. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You can be like them by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/EVNewsDailyMIDDLE EAST CONFLICT LIFTS UK FUEL AND ENERGY COSTSBrent crude surged past $84 per barrel and UK gas prices spiked to a three-year high of £1.44 per therm after Qatar halted LNG exports following Iran's threat to attack tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, with the RAC warning UK forecourt prices will feel the full impact within a week. Home EV charging costs are shielded for now by the energy price cap — fixed at 24.67p per kWh for electricity until end of June — but wholesale price rises could push the cap higher from July, making both home wallbox and public charging more expensive.​EUROPEAN FLEETS COULD SAVE €246BN BY 2030A new EY and Eurelectric report finds that fully electrifying Europe's corporate fleets could deliver up to €246 billion in cumulative savings and cut one billion tonnes of CO2 by 2030. However, the authors warn that cheaper running costs alone will not drive mass uptake, calling for coordinated action from manufacturers, policymakers, grid operators and finance providers to tackle high upfront costs, uncertain residual values, and charging infrastructure delays.CUPRA BORN FACELIFT BRINGS SHARP NOSE, SMALL TWEAKSCupra has facelifted the Born with a "shark nose" front end, triangular matrix LED headlights, a continuous rear light strip, and new 235 mm tyres across all five wheel options, while the aerodynamically improved 79 kWh variants now claim around 600 km (373 miles) of WLTP range. A new entry "Born Plus" trim pairs a 58 kWh battery with a 140 kW motor — figures that match Ford's Capri LFP option and strongly suggest a switch to LFP cells from the updated MEB+ platform — though Cupra has not confirmed drivetrain details and appears to be saving that announcement for a related reveal, likely the VW ID.3 facelift later in 2026.FORD EV SALES SINK 71% AFTER LIGHTNING EXITFord's US EV sales collapsed 71% in February 2026 to just 2,122 units, the steepest monthly drop in its EV history, driven by the discontinuation of the F-150 Lightning and the expiry of the federal EV tax credit. Ford's Model e division lost $4.8 billion in 2025 and is forecast to lose another $4–5 billion in 2026, with profitability not expected until 2029; the company has already booked a $19.5 billion writedown and is pivoting to a new ~$30,000 midsize electric pickup it hopes will revive the business by 2027.LUCID PATCHES GRAVITY SOFTWARE AGAINLucid Motors has pushed software update 3.4.4 to the Gravity SUV, targeting AC charging improvements and Drive Assist availability, following a January update that resolved around 95% of earlier software issues — with the car averaging a new update every 24 days since launch. Lucid has closed its online configurator for both the Air and Gravity while it prepares its 2027 model year announcement, and Air owners face a $950 hardware upgrade bill to access the newer UX 3.0 platform already running in the Gravity, due to arrive by autumn 2026.MITSUBISHI READIES LEAF-BASED EV FOR CANADAMitsubishi is preparing its first all-new model since the Eclipse Cross for Canadian dealerships in 2026, built on Nissan's CMF-EV platform and LEAF architecture, with spy shots showing a heavily camouflaged prototype that shares the LEAF's roofline, proportions, and rear hatch panel. Both models will be built side by side at Nissan's Kaminokawa plant in Japan, and Mitsubishi may receive the smaller battery pack to undercut the LEAF on entry price — a strategy that would see Nissan supply the foundations while a cheaper sibling competes for the same buyers.ALPITRONIC UNVEILS HYC400 SERIES 2 CHARGERAlpitronic has launched the HYC400 Series 2, retaining the 400 kW maximum output of its predecessor while upgrading to a 22-inch touchscreen (up from 15.6 inches), second-generation silicon carbide power stacks, and a higher continuous output current of 600 A (up from 500 A). The unit maintains 97.5% charging efficiency but standby power consumption rises significantly from 43 W to under 100 W, and cable options narrow to a single 5-metre length; Alpitronic will sell both generations simultaneously to suit different site requirements.​APTERA SHOWS FIRST VALIDATION-LINE VEHICLE PHOTOAptera Motors has published the first photo of a vehicle off its validation assembly line, marking a milestone for its three-wheeled, solar-assisted EV that claims 400 miles of range from a 44 kWh battery and up to 40 miles of daily solar charging, classified as a motorcycle to bypass certain safety regulations. The launch edition price has risen to $40,000 — a $9,300 increase from prior estimates — though a $28,000 model is planned for the future, and with nearly 50,000 pre-orders and a stated daily capacity of 80–100 vehicles, Aptera claims it could fulfil all orders within 500 days of full production, though the end-of-year delivery timeline remains uncertain.​GEELY TARGETS DEFENDER WITH GALAXY BATTLESHIPGeely plans to launch the Galaxy Battleship in the UK in 2028, a blocky hybrid 4x4 aimed squarely at the Land Rover Defender and Toyota Land Cruiser, with a production design expected to stay 90–95% true to the Galaxy Cruiser concept shown at the 2025 Shanghai Motor Show. Built on the GEA Evo platform with steer- and brake-by-wire, it may use an AI-driven plug-in hybrid system with a stated output of around 858 bhp, and Geely is promising an interior that surpasses the Defender's for luxury — a bold claim for the Chinese brand's first foray into the 4x4 segment.​EU UNVEILS LOCAL-CONTENT RULES FOR CLEAN TECHThe European Commission has unveiled the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA), tying over €2 trillion in public procurement and subsidies to low-carbon and "Made-in-EU" conditions across sectors including EVs, steel, cement, and wind turbines, with the goal of raising manufacturing's share of EU economic output from 14% to 20% by 2035. China is excluded from the initial trusted-partner list — which includes the UK, Canada, and the US — and foreign investments above €100 million from countries controlling 40%+ of global production would face strict conditions including capped 49% foreign ownership and mandatory technology transfer; BMW and Mercedes oppose the Act over fears of higher costs, while Renault backs it and the text must still clear the European Parliament before becoming law.​

Viele denken bei Umweltfragen zum Auto zuerst an Abgas, Strommix oder die Batterie. In dieser Folge schauen wir auf zwei Bauteile, die oft übersehen werden: Klimaanlage und Wärmepumpe, die besonders für das anspruchsvolle Thermomanagement von E-Autos immer wichtiger und leistungsfähiger werden. Wieso manche von ihnen die Umwelt und das Klima besonders stark belasten und warum das nicht so sein muss, klären wir mit Thomas Binder und Robert Scherer von Thyssenkrupp.

Galva Mayor Rich Volkert joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to discuss the proposed underground CO₂ sequestration project at the ethanol plant, road work in the northeast section of town, proper disposal of large items, yard ordinances, cemetery cleanup beginning on March 29th, bicycle and electric bike rules, and spring cleanup in June. Galva officials are urging residents to stay informed as discussions intensify regarding CO2 sequestration at the ethanol plant. The proposed plan would store CO₂ 4,400 feet underground, with public meetings set to provide accurate information and address safety concerns, particularly regarding groundwater. Mayor Volkert emphasizes the importance of attending these meetings and reminds residents to check the city website and local news outlets for updates. Other city news includes street improvement projects in the northeast section of town and spring cleanup events, along with reminders to dispose of large items properly. Residents are also encouraged to follow traffic rules while using bicycles and electric bikes. A major initiative known as Project Big River, located in Galva, is set to tackle carbon emissions with an ambitious plan to capture, transport, and store over 725,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually. The project is a collaboration with Big River Resources and is designed as a near-plant, multi-landowner solution. The application for Class Six status has already been submitted, signaling progress toward full regulatory approval for underground storage. Mayor Volket said the permit process could take two years to complete. Lapis will attend the public meetings to answer questions about the process and safety measures. This significant step showcases the region's commitment to responsible energy practices and innovative environmental technology. Big River Resources is pushing forward with an ambitious carbon capture initiative aimed at reducing industrial emissions in the region. The project plans to capture, transport, and store more than 725,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, showcasing a partnership-driven approach with multiple landowners. With a Class Six permit application now in, the roadmap includes acquiring pore space, drilling a stratigraphic well in 2025, and proposing an official permit submission by 2026. If timelines hold, investment decisions and construction would begin in 2027, with the first injection of captured carbon targeted for 2028. Find more information regarding Project Big River here.

Rethinking Infrastructure: Decarbonization Through DurabilityHost: Alex Cameron, Founder & CEO, Decarb Connect Guest: Eric Van Genderen, Director of Environment, Health & Sustainability, International Zinc AssociationIndustrial co2 efforts tend to focus on fuels, technologies, and process change, yet a major source of avoidable emissions sits in plain sight: premature infrastructure failure. Roads, bridges, and wastewater systems that corrode decades earlier than planned lock in repeated cycles of repairs that are both carbon and capital-intensive. In this episode, we explore why durability is emerging as a critical lever in reducing lifetime emissions, and how smarter material choices can reshape the economics and carbon profile of long-life assets.Eric Van Genderen from the International Zinc Association makes the case that we're systematically miscounting the carbon cost of infrastructure by ignoring what happens when it fails early. The fix isn't new technology. Galvanised steel has been a proven solution for nearly a century. What's broken is the decision-making model where federal governments fund construction and municipalities inherit the replacement bill decades later, with no mechanism connecting upfront material choices to long-term carbon or cost outcomes.What you'll take away:Why adding 1–2% to upfront project costs can double infrastructure lifespan — and what that means for lifecycle carbon accountingThe Champlain Bridge as a case study: designed for 50 years, replaced at 30, and why its replacement is now rated for 100+A new metric worth knowing: decarbonisation potential measured in tonnes of CO₂ avoided per tonne of zinc installed Why the federal/municipal funding split is structurally blocking smarter material specificationWhere insurers fit in and why they're an emerging pressure point for longer-life assetsWhy legislation and building codes, not voluntary owner decisions, are the realistic lever for changeShow Links: Connect to Eric Van Genderen of the Zinc Association to explore their plans Find out more about zinc as an enabler of reduced embodied carbon in major projectsSuggest a podcast episode or guestConnect with Alex Cameron, Founder & CEO of Decarb Connect Learn more about Decarb ConnectOur global membership platform, events and facilitated introductions support leaders driving industrial and energy innovation.

There is one truth that has followed every major technological revolution in human history. Energy demand always rises to meet technological capability. When we industrialized, coal consumption exploded. When we built the modern transportation system, oil demand reshaped global geopolitics. When we entered the digital age, electricity quietly became the backbone of the global economy. And now we are entering the AI era. What most people don't appreciate is that AI is not just a software revolution. It is an electricity revolution. Training a single advanced AI model can consume as much electricity as tens of thousands of homes use in an entire year. And once trained, these models continue to run inside data centers filled with specialized hardware operating 24 hours a day. A single large AI data center can require over 1 gigawatt of power. To put that into perspective, that's enough electricity to power roughly 700,000 homes. One building consuming the equivalent of a major city. Now consider that companies like Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Amazon are planning dozens of these facilities. Suddenly, you begin to see the scale of what's happening. Even individual AI queries consume more power than traditional computing tasks meaningfully. One estimate suggests an AI query can use roughly 10 times the electricity of a traditional search query. That difference seems trivial until you multiply it by billions of interactions per day. This is why, for the first time in decades, electricity demand in the United States is accelerating again. For nearly 20 years, electricity demand was relatively flat. Efficiency gains offset economic growth. But AI, electrification of transportation, and domestic manufacturing are reversing that trend. And here's where the story becomes even more interesting. China understands this. China is building power infrastructure at a pace that is difficult to comprehend. They are adding entire national-scale power capacity every few years. In 2023 alone, China added more new coal power capacity than the rest of the world combined. At the same time, they are installing solar and wind at record rates, becoming the global leader in renewable deployment. They are not choosing one energy source. They are choosing all of them. Because they understand that energy availability determines technological leadership. Meanwhile, in the United States, building new power plants and transmission infrastructure can take a decade or more due to regulatory hurdles, permitting delays, and political resistance. This creates a very real risk. The country that can generate the most reliable, scalable energy will have a structural advantage in AI, manufacturing, and economic growth. Energy is becoming the limiting factor. And whenever something becomes a bottleneck, investment opportunities emerge. We are entering a period where trillions of dollars will be spent on power generation, grid modernization, nuclear energy, solar, battery storage, geothermal, and technologies that most people have never even heard of. Some of the biggest fortunes of the next decade will likely be tied directly or indirectly to solving this energy constraint. In today's episode, we explore alternative energy sources, the challenges we face, and the technologies that may power the future. Because understanding energy is no longer optional if you want to understand where the world is going. And as investors, those who see these shifts early have the opportunity to position themselves ahead of the crowd.

And today, before we begin, I wanna remind you as always, there is a website associated with this podcast, wealthformula.com. That’s where you want to go. If you have, uh, an interest in uh, ing more in the community in particular, there is a, a credit investor club. AKA investor club, which you need to sign up for. Uh, go to wealthformula.com and see some private deal flow at, uh, no cost to you, uh, that, uh, you might have an interest in. Uh, let’s talk about today’s show. It’s a little bit about, uh, something. You know, that is, uh, on I think, a, a major issue, uh, going into the next decade. Um, you know, there’s one truth that’s followed. Every major technological revolution in human history. Energy demand is always rise, uh, to meet technological capability. You know, when we industrialize, uh, coal consumption exploded, obviously when we built modern transportation system oil. Demand, uh, reshaped global geopolitics. And when he entered the digital age, electricity became the backbone of the global economy, and now we’re entering the era of artificial intelligence. Now, what most people don’t appreciate is that AI is not just a software revolution, it’s an electricity revolution. Uh, training a single advanced AI model can consume as much electricity as literally tens of thousands of homes in an entire year. And once trained, these models continue to run inside data centers filled with specialized hardware operating 24 hours a day. A single large AI data center can require what’s called a entire one gigawatt of power. Now, what’s a gigawatt? Well, to put this all into perspective, that’s enough electricity to power. Roughly 700,000 homes, one building consuming the equivalent of a major city. Now, consider that companies like Microsoft, Google Meta, Amazon, they’re applying to build dozens of these facilities, and suddenly you begin to see the scale of what’s happening. Uh, even individual AI queries when you do them, they consume a lot more power than traditional computing tasks. Um, there’s an estimate that suggests that an AI query. Can use roughly 10 times the electricity of a traditional, uh, search query. The difference seems trivial until you multiply that by like billions of these interactions per day. And that is why for the first time in decades, electricity demand in the United States is accelerating again and doing so quickly. Now you might ask, well, you know, what’s been happening for the last 20 years? Well, electricity demand was actually relatively. Flat. And a lot of that is because of efficiency gains, offsetting economic growth, but ai, electrification of transportation, domestic manufacturing, they’re all gonna reverse that trend. And, and here’s where the story becomes even more interesting, because we know that China already understands this. China’s building power infrastructure at a pace that’s difficult to really even comprehend. They’re adding entire national skill, power, capacity every few years. In 2023 alone, China added more new coal power capacity than the rest of the world combined. And at the same time, they’re installing solar, wind, all these things at record rates becoming really the global leader in re renewable deployment. So you don’t think of China is that way, but they are. They’re not choosing one energy source. They’re choosing all of them. And because they understand that energy availability will determine technological leadership. Meanwhile, in the US things are kind of slower. Building a, a new power plant and transmissions infrastructure can take a decade or more. We got lots of regulatory hurdles and permitting delays in political resistance that the Chinese don’t have, and that creates a lot of risk. The country that can generate the most reliable, scalable energy, we’ll have a structural advantage in AI manufacturing and economic growth. And that is a big, big deal because energy at the end of the day is becoming. The limiting factor for growth, and whenever something becomes a bottleneck, you also get investment opportunities that emerge. So we’re entering a period where trillions of dollars will be spent on power generation, grid modernization, nuclear energy, solar battery, geothermal, you name it. And a lot of those things you’ve never heard of. Some of the biggest fortunes of the next decades will be tied directly or indirectly to solving these energy constraints. That is why in today’s episodes we’re gonna explore these alternative energy sources, kind of get an idea of what’s going on with them. I know it doesn’t sound super exciting or sexy, but understanding energy right now is, is not optional. If you wanna understand where the world is going, and as investors, those who see these shifts early are gonna have an opportunity to position themselves ahead of the crowd, and we’re gonna have. A conversation to highlight all of that right after these messages. Wealth formula banking is an ingenious concept powered by whole life insurance, but instead of acting just as a safety net, the strategy supercharges your investments. First, you create a personal financial reservoir that grows at a compounding interest rate much higher than any bank savings account. As your money accumulates, you borrow from your own. Bank to invest in other cash flowing investments. Here’s the key. Even though you’ve borrowed money at a simple interest rate, your insurance company keeps paying. You compound interest on that money even though you’ve borrowed it at result, you make money in two places at the same time. That’s why your investments get supercharged. This isn’t a new technique, it’s a refined strategy used by some of the wealthiest families in history, and it uses century old rock solid insurance companies as its back. Turbocharge your investments. Visit wealthformulabanking.com. Again, that’s wealthformulabanking.com. Welcome back to the short rewind, uh, energy demand is, uh, rising, not just from ai but from electrification. Population growth, economic activity itself. At the same time, we’re trying to transition how energy’s produced, which creates, uh, real trade-offs around cost, reliability, and scale. Today’s conversation isn’t about, uh, ideology necessarily, but it’s about the economics of energy and what’s realistic as demand continues to grow. And to help us think this through. I’m joined by Dr. Ga Hockman, professor of Environmental and Resource Economics, with the PhD from Columbia University Gall. Welcome to the show. Good morning. So let’s just start very basic here. In your view, why does economic growth almost always translate into higher energy demand? Because production is very dependent on energy. And so whenever you wanna expand production, you wanna expand food, you need more energy. And this is actually what we’re trying to decouple, to create production processes that are less energy intensive. So as we grow, as we become happier, more viable, we don’t necessarily need more energy. So, uh, setting, uh, ai, artificial intelligence aside for a second, are we already in a path where electricity demand has to rise, you know, meaningfully over the next decade? I mean, what, what kind of projections do we look at there? We need to decouple growth from energy. We didn’t do that yet. As long as we don’t do it. Uh, growth will be associated with an increase in energy demand, not as much as AI has been introducing. And that is, uh, uh, uh, jumping to a higher step. Right. Now, you’ve mentioned this a couple times in the decoupling idea how in the big picture, like how do you do that? Uh, does the low hanging fruit that the US implemented from the 1980s, 1990s, and that is energy efficiency. It, which creates a win-win. Uh, it just changed the light bulbs in your, in your house. You save electricity, but you also save money ’cause these bulbs last much longer. Assuming their cost is not high enough. Is not too high. Uh, industry is the same thing. Introducing more efficient processes. Can result endless need for energy, but we need to go a step further to make it more meaningful and to introduce production processes that simply depend less on energy or depend less on energy that is polluting. Give us another example. I mean, the light bulb is an easy one, but, um, I mean, what are some large scale ideas for that energy efficiency issue? That you’ll think about when you think about these kind of decoupling ideas. Uh, another thing, just, uh, the appliances at home, uh, you want them to, uh, be more energy efficient and the windows you put on your houses, you want it to be double blast, maybe even triple in some cases that blocks the sun and helps I, uh, isolate the house better so you don’t need to heat it as much. Insulation is very important. Uh, very similar things exist in the commercial sector. Uh, if you look at the big retail stores, they’re using a lot of light bulbs. They’re using a lot of insulation to reduce their, uh, heating costs. If they are wanting to become more energy efficient. So these are not very complicated things that can really make a change in residential, in commercial. And you can then expand it further into production process in the manufacturing. And there are different examples also there. There’s also this big driver of energy in the next couple of decades, uh, which, you know, people talk about how many more terabytes we’re gonna need just to support the artificial intelligence revolution. Do you think it’s realistic, you know, just to focus on these efficient levels? Is that enough for, for how much energy we need? No, no. And we need to expand the energy. Uh, it’s important to expand it in ways that is cleaner energy, so it does not create harm. So you don’t create a good with a bad, uh, you wanna introduce energy that is cleaner so you don’t increase, uh, pollution. Uh, impact greenhouse gases. Um, so it is also the fuel mix that you’re using. The fuel sources. Will you use solar? Will you use hydro? Will you use, uh, wind, uh, bio bioenergy, same thing. Bioenergy crops. So you wanna exp expand, you wanna. Introduce a more diverse set of feedstocks that many of them are much more, uh, cleaner than the existing one. Uh, so the movement to renewable is important. Uh, and again, you don’t need to decrease the existing infrastructure, but the new infrastructure at least needs to come from a cleaner sources. You need to improve our use of batteries. Yeah. Let, let’s break down some of the things that you’ve talked about. So, solar, okay. Um, what did, what does solar do well and where does it struggle? Solar, people forget, in 2005 it was $10. Now it’s below $1. So we need to understand that there is a transition in the transition. Many times costly, but we need to learn and bring it down that. Learning came in terms of installation. The installation became much more efficient, uh, much less costly, much faster, and that brought the price of solar down. Uh, solar has been performing very well in many places. Uh, eh, solar today is cheaper than many of the most polluting, uh, infrastructure for power in the world. If I remember correctly, the number, it’s around 500 gigawatts, which is a big number. Uh, they can, that solar can outcompete the existing, uh, energy sources. Uh, where it’s struggling is that, um. Silicon will be is is in high demand and that is a creating a floor that prevents solar from going even lower, but it can also create a constraint in the future as you expand it further. Can you explain for, for us just the silicon issue? ’cause is that. So it’s just a, a silicon is a major component and we don’t have enough, is that what you’re saying? Yes. Yes, exactly. And then doesn’t that drive up the price of silicon? Yes, but we, we didn’t hit that. We, we we’re, we’re, uh, but there are actually various entities working on alternatives. From MIT to companies, uh, that are offering interesting solutions. Yes. You mentioned storage as well. Um, energy storage. Um, how close are we to storage being really viable at scale? I mean, this is, um, you know, we certainly, battery technology has improved, but, you know, how, how, how close are we to it? Becoming something that is, is really, really helping the issues. Uh, it’s challenging ’cause right now it makes it more expensive. But if the more we use it, the more we learn, the more we understand, the more, uh, efficient and cost efficient we can introduce it. Cost will go down. So it’s like the, how do you push it forward? How do you adopt these technologies? Now, we should always remember that there are, in some places, it is already very viable. But it demands certain, uh, uh, circumstances. For example, uh, the Southwest has a location where it has, uh, underground water and solar. The solar heats the underground water. So the underground water becomes the storage that, uh, then the steam becomes the electricity in the night. And that is a very viable process. Hydro with wind goes also very well, and again, uh, they manage to store, uh, use the wind to bring water upstream, and then when there’s no wind, the water flows downstream and through hydro creates electricity. Batteries, it’s technology. Uh, will a breakthrough come one day? I believe so, but again, I, I can’t predict it. Um, we can talk about, um, you know, natural gas, right? I mean, natural gas doesn’t get much attention, uh, in the transition narrative, but how important is it today in maintaining grid stability in supporting renewables? Reliability is more important than prices to many of us. No one likes blackout and if you talk with the, those that monitor and and manage the electricity markets, that’s their top priority, not the price. Uh, we don’t like it when we don’t have electricity. We we’re very dependent on it. So reliability is definitely be, uh, uh, uh, a must before you even move towards renewables. Absolutely. Before prices even, uh, uh, for anyone in the us. Um, so NA Gas has the potential, uh, it has less. CO2. The problem with NA gas is that the infrastructure is leaking. That means that the pipeline are emitting and methane because of leaks. Uh, I believe that needs to be addressed. Uh, uh, natural gas has the potential to be used, but. You need to not use it with an infrastructure that is, uh, resulting in more damage than good. It kind of defeats the purpose of it. What would do you look at natural gas as a short term bridge or something that, you know, the, the system may rely on, you know, in, in a much longer, uh, timeframe, even with other renewables. I would be careful in creating a bridge because that this infrastructure is very expensive. Once you put the amount of money needed to create infrastructure, it’s very hard to change it. Having said that, you will have solutions that will use fossil fuels, which includes natural gas, even in the long run, simply because the cost and the benefits will add up in a way that. It won’t make any sense moving away from fossils. In my opinion, not everyone will agree with me. Yeah, but, and, and you do have technologies that can make fossil fuels much, much cleaner. Like carbon capture used in storage. Uh, that technology has a huge potential. You can recycle the hydrogen and recycle other components in the refinery process that results in a cleaner fuel. But it’s something that we need to incentivize the companies to do. Uh, a company will not do it independently ’cause it’s more costly and that’s important. How about nuclear? I mean, nuclear. Offers reliable carbon free, you know, power. Yet it hasn’t scaled the way many people expected. Um. Why is that people are afraid of nuclear. Look at the three Mile Island and, and look at Fukushima and Chernobyl for that matter. People remember those stories and that really resonates with them badly. And there’s also a problem in the accounting of nuclear. Even the most safest countries in the world like Japan will everyone considered super safe. Even they have an accounting problem. So there is the concern that. Even small amounts get leaked out to the wrong hands. That can be a very bad outcome. Eh? Having said that, there is, I don’t know. I don’t follow it too much, but I do know there is a drive to create small nuclear plants, mobile plants, eh, from my recollection for two, three years ago, the company that I heard of was very successful at that. Eh, Japan went back to nuclear different than Germany. By the way. Germany did not try to, uh, divest from nuclear. So there are some places that nuclear becomes very important. I think it’s also becomes important in some areas that work in ai. So it has been introduced as a source of electricity. Can you tell us a little bit about small modular reactors? There’s a lot of buzz about that. What, what exactly are they? I mean, how small are they? You know, safety wise, uh, they’re mobile, they’re not very big. And, uh, that makes them, uh, much more easier to manage and control as opposed to the very big nuclear plans. Nuclear is a base load. So you use it, you, once you turn it on, you don’t want to turn it off. It’s too expensive. The on and off, it takes it a long time to, to uh, ramp up. Uh, and, uh, mobile, uh, nuclear plants are addressing many of these concerns that exist with the big plants. So they are solving it in, in what I saw pretty well in some circumstances. How small are they? I mean, are they, so would you. Would a, you know, one of these AI data centers, or what would they just, would they have one small modular react or they’ll need more than that? They’ll need more than that. Oh, they need more, more than one. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So they’re, they’re pretty small or they like, you know, the size of a car or they. How, how small are these things? No, they’re bigger than the car, but they’re not too big. If you know of a nuclear plant, the old one, you see these big round, uh, domes, uh, they’re, they’re not that big. They’re, they’re much smaller, but they’re not as small as a car. Yeah. And so you could run maybe, uh, a, an AI center with a couple of those or something like that. Is that the idea? They have, you can see some of them. There are examples in Texas where you have the, the center basically is surrounded by small units. Are they generally safer to use, and if so, why is that? Uh, I’m not a nuclear guy. I’m not a physic. I should be careful in it, but I, I, what I understood, they’re safer to use. Also, the material i, i I is not reaching, uh, levels that safer levels than you would need for, for example, for bumps and, and stuff like that. So they’re keeping everything at a safer level. When you step back and look at the whole system and think about. What’s gonna happen in the future? Do you think it’s more likely to be dominated by one energy source or like a diversified mix as we’ve been going through? I believe a diversified mix. I also believe that in some places you will always have fossil fuels. In some places you’ll have a very quick transition to renewables. Uh. Uh, we need to look at the system view. In some places it’s easier to clean the dirty fuel. In some places it’s just easier to introduce the, the clean fuel. Uh, some places I do believe you see, for example, developing world does not have the capacity to electrify. We talk about electrification and some people are very enthusiastic about it. You don’t see it in the development world. They don’t, they lack even the US And there is a study in Princeton that came, I think three years ago. Um, if you electrify the whole US today, you need to almost triple the grid capacity. Just understand what the magnitude of money that needs to be invested to get there. Is huge. Now developing countries definitely don’t have it. Even the US doesn’t have that capacity. So, uh, developing countries, I think you might see a lot more biofuels, a lot more, uh, other, uh, substitutes that exist that are easier for them to manage. And then a system view or a more complete view is needed ’cause it’s not. What is the most efficient process? Is what process fits best in a certain area, and, and that will create a lot of heterogeneity, I think. Do you have a sense in the us I mean, what, what do you think ends up being? There’s gotta probably be one, you know, dominant source that it will, will kind of come to friction based on our own. Economics in our own situation. Do you think that’s in the, in the near future? Is that solar, you think? I mean, what, what dominates in the future here? I don’t think you’ll dominate, even in the us you won’t dominate, uh uh. You have regions in the US that are very, uh, windy. Wind farms will be the optimal path. There are places that don’t have any clouds, 350 days a YA year. So solar is perfect there. Solar also creates employment and live view for certain communities so that the employment component is an important part. So you create. Income and, and, and, uh, in, in, in life, in, in economic variability in regions with the renewables, there are other regions that have, uh, a lot of supply of, uh, excess biomass or the capacity to produce a lot of biomass, and that creates them an alternative to use biomass ’cause that’s what brings them. Again, income, which is always important, but it also brings them a feedstock that might be of a, a lot of benefits. Um, and you will have regions that are heavily so heavily invested in fossils that it will never make sense to move away from fossils, but it will make sense to create cleaner fossils through carbon capture and storage in other ways. So I don’t think the US will move into one place or another. Yeah. Um, you know, you often hear discussions about, in the US about, um, our grid being outdated. Tell us sort of at, at a high level, if you wouldn’t mind explaining the issues with the grid and, you know, what, what kind of issues that brings up as we need more energy sources. Just look at the power plants. They were, look at their ages, the age of power plants. Look at and, and then there are a few that were supposed to be retired and now have been extended, but just. That by itself is sufficient to create problems whenever you encounter a natural, uh, extreme event that, uh, stresses the system. Uh, we saw with Sandy in the northeast. The northeast was, a lot of the infrastructure was outdated. Sandy came, the system collapsed. They fixed it now, so they upgraded it. There is, uh, uh. Some of the utility. Again, I’m not, I’m following anecdotal evidence and news, not beyond that, but some of the companies are striving to improve their grid and they are trying to, uh, introduce a more sustainable and reliable system again, ’cause reliability is so important. What does, what does it mean really to even update the grid? I mean, just for people who are not in this space, what does that even mean to upgrade it? You, you, you change the equipment, you upgrade the equipment, you better manage the inter, uh, interaction of trees and, and, and the electricity lines. Uh, you bring electricity lines underground. You also improve a lot of the infrastructure, uh, of the power plants and how they distribute the energy. So this whole infrastructure is being upgraded so it can support. For example, the ai. And that actually is something that the AI might bring as a very positive thing. So it will force the system to, uh, upgrade, to introduce more efficient processes, uh, distribution mechanisms that are more resilient, which I think is important. I hear we’re kind of behind when it comes to this, when you compare it to China. Can you talk a little bit about that? China has a different structure of, or economic structure. So a lot of the, uh, driver, the driver in China is the government and money that the government allocates to these alternative technologies, and that creates a very strong drive for renewables. Eh, China is also a big driver in coal in China, so. It’s basically where the government decides to put the money, and that’s where you see the industry flourish. If you look at the numbers, the investment numbers, China outpaces any country in the world in terms of the value invested per year in the recent years, and, and they’re producing a lot more, a lot more energy than us too. Isn’t that correct? I mean, I, I’ve just been, just in terms of following the AI news, I keep hearing about it. China has no. So many more terabytes than us, uh, of energy, uh, ability. Is is that true? Uh, that I don’t know. I don’t know exactly ’cause, uh, I know they’re producing a lot. I know they are expanding a lot, and I know that in the solar space, for example, they dominate because of that. They’re already, they’re also starting to dominate in the electric vehicle space. Uh, they’re becoming to leaders in those areas. Yes. Um, big picture, I think if you wanted to sort of sum up some of the, you know, major issues that you think that, you know, people like us who are. Investors or you know, just people wanna know what’s happening in the future. Like what, what’s, what’s the message for, for people? I would, I would try to make my house more efficient. I would try to, uh, and it’s important to understand this is not only about, it is about greenhouse gases, but it’s also about if your house is more efficient, you are also paying less money. And that has a lot of benefits to it. Similar logic can follow to the industries and how they work, how, and, and conserving energy is not necessarily coming at the cost of being more or less productive. That’s what we need to understand. You can conserve energy and still produce more. You can become more efficient and you can still, and you can reduce your dependencies on, uh, energy, which I think is important.

refurbed, the leading online marketplace for refurbished products in Ireland, has surpassed €3 billion in cumulative Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) and expanded into 12 new European markets, doubling its footprint and marking a major milestone in the mainstream adoption of refurbished products. The company reached €3 billion in the total value of goods sold through its marketplace less than 12 months after passing €2 billion, reflecting year-on-year GMV growth of over 40%. The milestone follows a €50 million investment round in November 2025 and profitability achieved earlier that year, providing a strong foundation for continued expansion across Europe. "Refurbished is no longer a niche – it's becoming the default for many customers across Europe." said Peter Windischhofer, co-founder and CEO of refurbed. "We've proven that a circular business model can scale profitably. Surpassing €3 billion in GMV and expanding into 12 new markets shows that." To date, refurbed has sold 10 million products across their European markets and over 50% of its customers have returned for additional purchases. Since entering the Irish market five years ago, refurbed has sold more than 400,000 products to over 200,000 customers, contributing over €146 million in GMV. Through the purchase of refurbished devices, Irish customers have saved almost 17 million kilograms of CO?, more than 5 billion litres of water and nearly 60,000 kilograms of electronic waste. Pan-European expansion at scale The company's new markets include Spain, France, the UK, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Bulgaria and Luxembourg, bringing refurbed's addressable market to approximately 486 million consumers. Leading brands available on the platform include Dyson and Kärcher in home and garden, alongside Apple, Samsung and Google in consumer electronics. "This expansion is a deliberate next step," Windischhofer adds. "After reaching profitability and securing fresh investment, we are deploying capital where we see clear demand, strong supply infrastructure and long-term value creation. We scale where our model works – and we know it works." €3 Billion GMV: Refurbishment moves into the mainstream The acceleration from €2 billion to €3 billion in under a year highlights growing consumer trust in refurbished products and increasing competitive strength against new product sales. Premium supply is expanding rapidly, with the premium product share of order volume increasing by +113% and the premium share of GMV rising by +90% since the category launched in 2025. "We are witnessing a clear, structural shift in consumer behaviour," says Kilian Kaminski, co-founder of refurbed. "Smart and sustainable growth is no longer a trade-off. The circular economy is becoming mainstream, and Europe has the opportunity to lead globally by proving that profitability and sustainability go hand in hand." To date, refurbed has contributed to saving 445,000 tonnes of CO2 by offering refurbished instead of new products to consumers. See more stories here.

Continuiamo a parlare di piante bio-ibride, cioè di piante - prodotte all'Università di Bolzano - che incorporano delle nanoparticelle che agiscono come antenne capaci di aumentare la fotosintesi, permettendo loro di crescere più rapidamente e assorbire più CO2 dell'atmosfera. Si tratta di nanoparticelle di natura organica, che la pianta assorbe attraverso le radici e che, dopo un certo periodo, vengono completamente bio-degradate. Questa tecnologia, che permette di modificare le proprietà degli organismi vegetali migliorandoli senza alterarne il DNA, apre le porte a numerose applicazioni in settori che vanno dall'agricoltura alle energie rinnovabili, a partire dalla produzione di biomassa destinata alle energie rinnovabili. Ne parliamo ancora con Manuela Ciocca, ricercatrice in Fisica Sperimentale alla Facoltà di Ingegneria dell'Università di Bolzano.

When we gather indoors and exhale CO2, levels can rapidly rise and impair our cognitive function, even at levels that are pretty typical for indoor buildings in the US. But solutions are surprisingly cheap and easy! Today I'm joined by Dr. Georgia Lagoudas PhD, MIT grad and Senior Fellow and faculty at Brown University's School of Public Health, where she brings extensive expertise in biosecurity and indoor air quality. She leads the  Clean Indoor Air Initiative at Brown, advancing policy and implementation projects to improve indoor air quality. We discuss CO2 impact on you and your community, and what you can do!To Do-- If you can afford it, consider purchasing a simple sensor that detects CO2 and PM2.5.You want your CO2 level less than 1000, perhaps 800 if you have kids in the home and your PM2.5 average under 5 ucg/m3. Prioritize the PM2.5, but pay attention to the CO2 as wellAir Monitor Review Links from Dr Lagoudas- BreatheSafeAir and HouseFresh do reviews, like this one- Find out if your work or child's school monitors indoor air quality- if not, consider advocating for indoor air quality sensors. It will help reduce absenteeism at work and at school and improve test scores! - Check out the Clean Indoor Air Initiative at Brown to encourage clean indoor air policies at local, state and federal level. You can find there the state guide for clean air. - As always, consider a donation to the American Lung Association!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For more information go to https://airhealthourhealth.org/co2tax.Follow on Facebook and Instagram.

David Dilley, a former NOAA and Air Force meteorologist, says climate is driven by natural “climate pulse” cycles from Earth–Moon–Sun gravitational/electromagnetic interactions, not human CO2. He argues warming and cooling have repeated for centuries and claims Arctic ice loss since 1990 is mainly from periodic surges of warm Atlantic subsurface water about every nine years. He critiques NOAA temperature averaging and ice-core CO2 estimates, citing fossil leaf stomata to claim CO2 often exceeded 300 ppm and that most post-1850 CO2 rise is natural. He forecasts a global cooling cycle starting around 2030 lasting 60–75 years, with shorter growing seasons, possible food shortages, and greater energy needs. He advocates shifting climate research funding and expanding thorium/molten-salt nuclear power.00:00 Shorter Growing Seasons & Food Shortage Warnings (2030s)00:31 Meet Meteorologist David Dilley + Climate Pulse Tech Overview03:49 CO₂ Since 1850: Challenging the “All Fossil Fuels” Claim05:05 Historic Warming & Cooling Cycles: Medieval Warm Period to Today07:44 Why Arctic Ice Melted (1990–2025): Warm Atlantic Surges10:52 How NOAA Calculates Global Temps: Oceans Skew the Average13:39 Earth–Moon–Sun Cycles: The “Climate Pulse” & Long-Term Rhythms17:49 Gravitational Peaks & the Coming Global Cooling Cycle21:55 CO₂ Proxies Explained: Ice Cores vs Fossil Leaf Stomata27:36 Correcting the CO₂ Record: Natural vs Human Contributions33:10 CO₂ in the Atmosphere: What the Numbers Actually Are35:30 Ocean Cycles 101: The Atlantic's 65–70 Year Warm/Cold Pattern38:42 ENSO Shift Ahead: La Niña to El Niño and ‘Erratic Weather' (2027–2030)40:27 2030 Arctic Freeze-Up Forecast: Cold Water ‘Plunges' and Europe's ‘Beast from the East'41:40 All Oceans + Solar/Geomagnetic Cycles: Why the 2030s Could Flip to Cooling43:16 Energy Crunch in a Cooling World: AI Power Demand, Heat Pumps, and Grid Risk44:39 Next-Gen Nuclear Pitch: Molten Salt & Thorium Reactors vs Wind51:39 Sudden Stratospheric Warming Explained: Jet Stream ‘Rubber Band' Break55:54 Food & Society Impacts: Shorter Growing Seasons, Europe Cold, and ‘Year Without a Summer'01:02:54 Wrap-Up: Call to Refocus Research Away from ‘Political Science'David Dilley's March 2025 appearance on this podcast (episode #284): https://youtu.be/DKNP_LXp0o8https://www.globalweathercycles.com/http://www.globalweatheroscillations.com/https://x.com/WeatherCycleshttps://www.youtube.com/@DilleyGlobalWeatherCycles=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Nata all'Università di Bolzano la prima pianta bio-ibrida, grazie a una vasta collaborazione con altri centri di ricerca come Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Eurac Research, Università di Monaco, CNR e Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste. I ricercatori sono riusciti a incorporare per la prima volta nelle piante, delle nanoparticelle che agiscono come antenne capaci di aumentare l'assorbimento di luce della pianta e quindi la fotosintesi, col risultato di piante che crescono più rapidamente e assorbono più CO2 dell'atmosfera. Un filone di ricerca che apre prospettive del tutto inedite, di cui parliamo in questa puntata e nella successiva, con Manuela Ciocca, ricercatrice in Fisica Sperimentale alla Facoltà di Ingegneria dell'Università di Bolzano.

A new study published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that blocks of frozen carbon dioxide are the culprits behind these formations. When the Martian winter sets in, CO2 ice accumulates and, upon warming, sublimates, creating gas pressure that carves deep gullies in the Martian surface. This groundbreaking phenomenon, likened to the sandworms of Dune, showcases a unique geological process not observed on Earth.Inside-Out Planetary System DiscoveryAstronomers have identified a remarkable new planetary system, catalogued as LHS 1903, that defies conventional models of planetary formation. Unlike our solar system, which features rocky planets close to the star and gas giants further out, LHS 1903 has a small rocky planet orbiting outside of two gas giants. This discovery, detailed in Science, suggests that this rocky world may have formed in a gas-depleted environment, challenging existing theories about how planets evolve and raising questions about the nature of planetary systems.Europe's Powerful Rocket LaunchThe European Space Agency has successfully launched the Ariane 64, its most powerful rocket to date, from the Kourou Spaceport in French Guiana. This inaugural mission, VA267, carried 32 satellites into orbit for Amazon's LEO network, marking a significant milestone as the largest number of satellites ever launched by an Ariane rocket. With plans for an average of 10 launches per year, the Ariane 64 is set to play a crucial role in the future of satellite deployment.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesGeophysical Research Letters, ScienceSupport our podcast: Become a supporter.

In this episode, host Michael Brown dives into the world of climate activism, questioning the narrative that cows are a cause of greenhouse gas emissions. He discusses a study from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, which found that regenerative grazing can actually capture more CO2 than cows emit. Michael also touches on the absurdity of taxing farmers for cow farts and the real motives behind the climate cult. He shares his own personal experience with a local beef supplier and invites listeners to share their recommendations for good quality beef.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paul Burgess presents updates to his Burgess Oceanic Solar CO2 index, claiming it precisely matches satellite temperatures from 1982–2025 without changing its fixed formula, including UAH v6.1 and final 2024–2025 data despite a record-low PDO. He says the index is not a forecasting model and implies ECS is 1°C, with ~25% warming from CO2 and ~22–23% from human CO2 after outgassing. A second paper argues oceans drive low-cloud changes (1–3 year lag), with ~2% cloud decline explaining warming, challenging IPCC positive feedbacks. He previews an extension back to 1900 with ~0.96 correlation using a UHI adjustment (Connolly 2021) and invites critique by email.00:00 Paul Burgess Returns: Introducing the Oceanic Solar CO₂ Index Update00:24 How the Index Matches Satellite Temps (and Why That's Unusual)01:02 No Curve-Fitting: Validation, Critiques, and Why It's Public02:19 Completing 2024–2025 + Switching UAH v6.0 to v6.103:42 Index vs Model: Fixed Formula, Inputs, and What It Can (and Can't) Forecast05:01 CO₂ Contribution & ECS = 1°C: What the Index Implies07:01 Paper #1 Results: Record-Low PDO Stress Test and Fit Metrics11:43 From Statistics to Physics: Paper #2 on Oceans, Clouds, and Sunlight13:03 Clouds as Earth's Thermostat: The ~2% Low-Cloud Change Claim15:58 Cloud Layers & Evidence: Low Clouds Drive the Signal17:58 IPCC Feedback Story Explained (and Critiqued)21:31 Chicken-and-Egg Problem: Ocean–Cloud Coupling and the 1–3 Year Lag22:00 Paper #3 Teaser: Testing Water Vapor, Albedo, and Cloud Feedbacks27:21 Key Takeaways: Albedo/Ice Changes Follow Warming + Better Cloud Observations28:19 Cloud Cover vs. Shortwave Radiation: What the Satellite Data Shows28:59 Takeaway #3: Low Clouds as an Ocean-Driven “Sunshade” (Not a Warming Amplifier)29:37 Four Key Lessons: Ocean Leads Clouds, and the Radiative Effect Matches30:57 Implications for Climate Sensitivity: Why Models May Overstate CO₂ Feedbacks32:07 How to Critique the Framework: Falsification Tests and Evidence Chain34:57 Extending the BOI Back to 1900: Data Limits, UHI Adjustments, and Out-of-Sample Logic36:12 Sneak Peek Results: BOI 1900–2025 and the 0.96 Correlation Claim40:23 Q&A: How the BOI Coefficients Were Built (Covariance Fitting, Weights, Inputs)43:51 Testing and Next Steps: Volcano Signals, Ocean Mechanisms, and Future Projections47:02 Forecast vs. IPCC + Wrap-Up: Cooling Possibility, Politics, and Contact InfoEmail: svsuliere@gmail.comExplaining Every Temperature Change from 1983 to 2025 - My Most Important Work Ever: https://substack.com/home/post/p-182701114Linking Ocean Heat, Low Clouds, and Sunlight In Burgess Oceanic index: https://paulburgess3.substack.com/p/linking-ocean-heat-low-clouds-andTesting Water Vapour, Albedo and Cloud Feedback with the Burgess Oceanic Index: https://paulburgess3.substack.com/p/testing-water-vapour-albedo-and-cloudClimate Realism by Paul Burgess: https://www.youtube.com/@ClimateRealism=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

How do we generate the energy we need to meet the demands of consumption for the future? Any plans to meet future climate challenges and technological advancement will require not only sustainable sources of energy, but must also include the grid: our national transmission system that delivers energy to homes, businesses, data centers, and manufacturing. This week we're discussing the energy transmission network in the USA, including policy decisions, environmental impacts, land ownership, mineral demand, and the realities of an already overwhelmed grid. About World Ocean Radio World Ocean Radio is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by college and community radio stations worldwide.

Particulate matter is, Michael Greenstone argues, the greatest public health threat on the planet. Worse than HIV, cigarettes, and alcohol. The average person  loses about two years of life expectancy to it. In India, the figure is three and a half years. The solution to this problem has been tested, and it works, at least in high-income countries.Greenstone and his co-authors ran a randomised controlled trial in Surat, Gujarat: from 300 industrial plants, mostly making textiles, all burning coal, half were randomly assigned to a market where pollution permits could be bought and sold. The results: in the market, pollution fell 25%, compliance was near-perfect, and abatement costs dropped 12%. The cost-benefit ratio is as high as 200 to one. Many plants in the control group asked to be moved into the market.The research behind this episode:Greenstone, Michael, Rohini Pande, Nicholas Ryan, and Anant Sudarshan. 2025.

His research focuses on the costs and benefits of environmental quality, including the Air Quality Life Index, which tracks the toll of particulate pollution country by country. He previously served as Chief Economist for the President's Council of Economic Advisers under President Obama. Research cited in this episodeAir Quality Life Index (AQLI), Energy Policy Institute at Chicago. The source of the life-expectancy statistics used in this episode: particulate pollution costs the average person on Earth roughly two years of life expectancy, with India averaging three and a half years. The index tracks this burden country by country, city by city.The US sulphur dioxide cap-and-trade programme, established under the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, was the canonical precedent Greenstone cited: a market that dramatically reduced acid rain in the eastern United States at costs far below pre-programme projections. He noted that the UK and EU have since built comparable CO2 markets. All have worked well. The question this experiment addressed was whether the same logic held in the developing world, where almost all the pollution now is.Emissions Market Accelerator. An independent scale-up organisation founded by Greenstone and colleagues to replicate the Gujarat model beyond the original research setting. Current pipeline: a statewide sulphur dioxide market for Maharashtra (including large power plants, not just textiles), and advanced conversations in Pakistan and Brazil.

"I believe in the power of people wishing to volunteer for initiatives rather than assignment of duties and responsibilities and having people feel as though it's a chore… (They) serve as champions in their areas to educate their fellow peers on what it means to be sustainable, what they can do that's in their power to contribute to the outcomes….And then as we started to become more mature…we formed structured committees, we leveraged those champions on the units to participate. We made it enjoyable in terms of participating. We actually have contests… (I)t just breeds excitement about sustainability and I think it just allows for a culture where people become engaged and part of the process." Carol Gomes on Electric Ladies Podcast Healthcare is a huge 18% of the economy and uniquely has to be caring well for patients and staff  24/7 every day while also vulnerable to extreme weather events itself. How do they do that, how do they cover those costs, and what can we all learn from them? Listen to Carol Gomes (pronounced like "homes"), CEO and COO of Stony Brook University Hospital in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson.   You'll hear about: ●        Their initiatives and systems to reduce energy and water consumption, CO2 emissions, waste and manage the significant hazardous waste a hospital generates. How "quality" is a mantra. ●        How they have engaged their people, building a unique culture, to embrace sustainability. ●        What Practice Green Health is and what other industries can learn from their data, analyses and sharing of best practices. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   "I would say use your voice sooner than later. And if you see something, say something. If you wish to express yourself and you have an opinion and you're sitting at a table, express it and don't be shy… I think also leveraging networking opportunities is really important and volunteering for a committee or stretching yourself a little more than you normally would, and exploring areas where you may feel you're not as strong and don't be fearful of that… building relationships is not text messaging. It's not leaving voice messages. It's talking face-to-face, getting to know people, what's important to them." Carol Gomes on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes articles here.

Danfoss Case Controllers Enables and Control, Does GoogleTranslate Do Scottish?? Episode-508Brett Wetzel and first-time guest Kevin Compass kick off the Advanced Refrigeration Podcast in a chaotic mood after tech failures, traffic, and a rough week on a large grocery-store refrigeration job where electricians are slowing progress, skipping work on energized circuits, and delaying rack startup. They talk about traveling, hotel safety concerns, sleep deprivation, and returning the following week because verification is only partially complete and the rack couldn't be started. The conversation shifts into Danfoss case control and pack controller details, including correcting earlier misunderstandings about fan shutdown logic being handled automatically by the pack controller if programmed correctly. Brett walks through Danfoss thermostat control settings (on/off vs modulating), notes recommended minimum modulation percentages (around 3.6–4), and discusses guidance from Brian Rogers about avoiding modulating on dual-temp islands unless using an EPR, especially on CO2 systems due to potential icing issues. They explain S3/S4 sensor weighting (inlet vs discharge air), caution against using weighted control where return air can be blocked (turkey, produce, beer cases), and discuss how modulating control can reduce cycling and improve rack stability—especially on low-temp circuits that affect medium-temp load and BGV stability. They debate CO2 ejector versus high-pressure valve operation, with Brett noting updated information that ejectors run as primary until high utilization before the HPV opens. The episode also covers Danfoss network scheduling for case enable/shutdown staging, group-based defrost schedules, why long stage delays can cause short cycling after power blips, the value of adding minimum loop protections, and the confusion of chained controller calculations. They end by noting a potential wiring/relay issue on ejector solenoids (not all on solid-state relays), joking about communication challenges with a Scottish colleague, and signing off as Brett heads to sleep before an early flight.

This week's Frankly is another edition of Nate's Wide Boundary News series, where he invites listeners to view the constant churn of headlines through a wider-boundary lens. Today's edition features reflections on renewable energy and CO2 emission trends, updates on species adaptability, and a discussion about nuclear treaties and Iran. Nate ties each topic to the larger story of the Great Simplification, updating listeners on what pathways might be available to pursue the long-term stability of humanity in the biosphere.  What does ecological simplification teach us about resilience in human systems? When we celebrate "progress" in the form of rising renewable energy or flattening emissions, where might we be ignoring hidden system-level costs? And how has repeated exposure to "contained" geopolitical conflict changed our collective perception of risk, particularly in the West?

The Supreme Court just kneecapped Trump's "tariffs by emergency" strategy, and Nate and Chuck break down why that's actually a huge win for limiting presidential power. They dig into the scary argument hiding underneath it: if "regulate" secretly means "tax," then any president can invent arbitrary taxes across the entire federal regulatory state. Not great when the next "emergency" is climate, guns, or whatever cable news is screaming about. Then the show pivots to the MAGA vs MAHA fracture over glyphosate and Roundup. An executive order, a farm bill immunity push, and the ugly Monsanto paper trail that explains why people don't trust "the experts." Plus: Seattle's gig worker pay law backfires, California ships gas on a bizarre Bahamas loophole because of the Jones Act, and the low-IQ smears aimed at Thomas Massie heat up. 00:00 Welcome   01:14 SCOTUS Strikes Trump's IEEPA Tariffs: What the Ruling Actually Means   04:24 Regulate vs Tax: Why Tariffs Are Congress's Job (and Why It Matters)   12:06 Loopholes, Fees, and the Slippery Slope for Future Presidents   19:25 Kavanaugh's Dissent: The Roadmap to Tariffs via Other Statutes   21:42 Refunds, Market Reaction, and the Left's Mixed Incentives   24:01 MAGA vs MAHA: Glyphosate/Roundup, DPA EO, and Farm Bill Immunity   30:32 Monsanto Papers: Ghostwritten Science, Emails, and Lawsuit Fallout   36:00 Dumb Democrats: 'Nobody Called Trump Hitler/Racist' and Newsom's Spin   40:28 Newsom's 'Historically Illiterate' Claim & the Dyslexia Victim Card   41:39 AOC's Accent Switch + Venezuela 'Below the Equator' Fact-Check   44:39 Bill Maher's CO2 vs CO Mix-Up (and the Smug Delivery)   47:34 Too Many 'Dumb' Clips: Submissions Overload & Charlie Has to Bounce   49:16 Seattle Gig-Worker Minimum Pay Law Backfires: Higher Base, Lower Tips   55:40 California Gas Prices, Bahamas Detour & Why the Jones Act Makes It Worse   01:01:52 Twitter Files Fallout: DOJ/FBI Payments to X Kept Secret in Court   01:04:39 Defending Thomas Massie: 'Voting With Democrats' and 'Team Player' Attacks
