Send us a textArchitecture education and the problems of competent graduates have been discussed elsewhere in Talk Architecture podcast, but this topic shows how much things have changed in architecture education and how it affected the curriculum.So, this morning I asked Grok: Do you think that more and more architecture education and the ranking system serves the developer's agenda than society's needs?Grok says: Yes, absolutely — and the trend has been accelerating dramatically over the past 15–20 years. Architecture education and especially the global ranking systems now function more as a pipeline for producing compliant, brand-friendly designers who serve the real-estate/finance/development industry than as institutions serving society's actual spatial, social, ecological, or cultural needs.The main points are:Ranking systems are explicitly designed around “employer reputation” and “academic reputation” — and the employers who matter are the big corporate firmsThe curriculum has been financialisedDebt + prestige hierarchy forces graduates into the developer machine“Sustainability” has been fully co-opted into developer marketingThe proof is in the built environmentThe thought occurred to do this episode when I read another piece in LinkedIn on a global survey that reveals the future of architectural education. It suggests the way architects need to be, quote "a civic leader, cultural mediator, facilitator, and interdisciplinary collaborator", thus making me concerned for the profession. Yes, you can be all that but not on the expense of fully equipping architecture graduates to be confident of working in the industry, hence what need to happen in the design thesis curriculum and learning experience, as I have discussed in earlier episodes.© 2025 Talk Architecture, Author: Naziaty Mohd Yaacob.Support the showDo subscribe for premium content and special features which will help to support and sustain Talk Architecture podcast on a more in-depth explanation on design thesis and processes.

#320Today on the Clean Power Hour, Brandon Wagoner, Vice President of Strategy at Middle Tennessee Electric, explains how the second largest cooperative in America manages explosive EV adoption, deploys 32 megawatts of battery storage, and builds 113 megawatts of solar arrays while keeping rates low. His secret weapon: load factor optimization.Middle Tennessee Electric (MTE) serves 350,000 meters south and east of Nashville and leads Tennessee utilities in electric vehicle adoption. As the largest co-op in the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) service territory, MTE operates through strategic partnerships rather than vertical integration, working directly with TVA to solve generation and distribution challenges together.Key Discussion Points:• Load factor optimization as the primary metric for grid infrastructure decisions and rate management• 32 megawatts of two-hour battery storage deployment scheduled for Q1 2026 across their service territory• 3.25 MW tracking solar array operational, with 110 MW TVA solar project launching in 2028• Night Flex rate program incentivizing EV charging during six six-hour overnight windows• Community solar programs serving renters and members without rooftop installation options• Pro Solar advisory team provides trusted third-party guidance for members evaluating solar developers• Strategic approach to serving diverse demographics from high-income first adopters to conservative rural members• Co-op structure enables focus on member service rather than shareholder profits• Partnership model with TVA replaces traditional utility customer relationship• Programmatic rebates, including $50 EV charger installation incentivesConnect with Brandon WagonerWebsite: https://mte.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/midtnelectric/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-brandon-wagoner-pe-2822146/ Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.This episode is part of my initiative to provide access to important court decisions  impacting employees in an easy to understand conversational format using AI.  The speakers in the episode are AI generated and frankly sound great to listen to.  Enjoy!A half-billion-dollar verdict in the case of Martinez v. Southern California Edison doesn't happen by accident. It happens when a culture rots, a whistleblower speaks up, and a company lets bad actors turn the rule book into a weapon. We trace how a toxic South Bay office, laced with sexual and racial abuse and alleged physical assaults, spiraled into a legal earthquake—and why the jury's message was so blunt: cover-ups and retaliatory process will cost you dearly.We walk through the case step by step: the environment that court filings called a “cesspool,” the daily harassment Justin Page endured, and the leadership failures that let it fester. Then comes the pivot—Alfredo Martinez, a long-tenured, highly rated supervisor, consolidates complaints and reports them through formal channels. Within weeks, a burst of mostly anonymous accusations targets him. Rather than interrogate the timing, the company validates the flood and builds a case on a common accommodation: allowing an injured foreman to work remotely with verbal approval. The internal probe narrows its focus, skips context, and ignores exculpatory facts—a blueprint for cat's paw liability, where biased subordinates manipulate a nominally neutral decision maker.The jury dismantled the defense, rejecting the supposed code-of-conduct violations and finding malice, fraud, or oppression by managing agents. They also agreed the parent and subsidiary functioned as an integrated enterprise, extending accountability to deeper pockets. The result—$464,577,265—mixes compensatory relief with towering punitive damages meant to reform behavior, not just balance the ledger. For leaders, the takeaways are urgent: investigate retaliation vectors, pressure-test timing and patterns, seek exculpatory evidence, and demand independent review. A policy is not protection if the process is poisoned.If this breakdown helped you see how investigations should be built—and where they fail—follow the show, share this episode with your team, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

Why don't I do rinseless washes anymore? After years of being a full-time mobile detailer in Orange County—working in strict coastal cities with heavy water-runoff regulations and during the peak of California's "drought"—I relied on rinseless washes to keep my business alive. I was a full-on mobile rinseless detailer for years. Corporate accounts, weekly clients, everything. But over time, I realized rinseless washing has major limitations that no one really talks about. In this video/podcast, I'm breaking down my full experience: How strict water regulations pushed me into rinseless in the first place Why I switched from waterless → to rinseless → to traditional washing The real problems I ran into after YEARS of rinseless washing Why customers didn't trust it (and how I lost accounts because of it) Why wheels, tires, door jambs, and wheel wells are a nightmare with rinseless Why rinseless is way more labor-intensive than people think Why it only works well on lightly soiled "garage queen" cars Why I eventually moved away from it completely And most importantly… How all of this led me to develop the Dry Foam Wash Method—a system that uses significantly less water but way more chemistry to safely break down dirt with less labor, less waste, and fewer limitations. Rinseless washing still has its place. Traditional washing still has its place. Foam cannons still have limitations. There is no perfect system… …but there are smarter ways to wash a car depending on your goals. This episode is all about the reality of rinseless washes—not the marketing hype—and how years of hands-on mobile detailing shaped the way I wash cars today. Want to Try the Dry Foam Method?

Traditionally, parenthood has been seen as a career disruption-especially for mothers. But what if becoming a parent could be one of the greatest leadership incubators of all? The Parenthood Advantage: Building Corporate Cultures That Value Working Parents (Dg Press, 2025) challenges the outdated narrative that working parents are a burden to manage and instead shows how they're an untapped asset that forward-thinking companies can't afford to overlook. Drawing on compelling research, candid interviews, and real-world examples, authors Mason Donovan and Mark Kaplan reveal how the skills honed through parenthood-resilience, crisis management, empathy, prioritization, and negotiation-are the very qualities that modern workplaces need. The book offers practical strategies for leaders and organizations to transform parental leave, return-to-work support, and everyday culture into true competitive advantages. Whether you're an HR leader seeking to attract and retain top talent, a manager aiming to better support your team, or a working parent ready to reframe your value at work, The Parenthood Advantage will inspire you to see what's possible when we stop sidelining parents and start recognizing them as a powerful source of growth, innovation, and leadership.

David Swanson is an author, activist, journalist, and radio host. He is executive director of World BEYOND War and campaign coordinator of RootsAction.org. Swanson's books include War Is A Lie and When the World Outlawed War  War adversely impacts all living things on the planet. W. Bush lied to Congress, the UN, Americans and the world to fabricate flimsy bogus evidence to illegally invade Iraq. Many legal scholars consider Bush and Cheney to be war criminals. Corporate media were complicit in the war propaganda machine. The UN General Assembly should adopt Uniting for Peace to override a US or Russian veto in the Security Council.   The Monroe Doctrine is a unilateral declaration by the US to control South America, keep Europeans out and spawn gunboat diplomacy that does not have the force of law. The destruction of fishing boats in the Caribbean is an illegal act that borders on war crimes.

In this episode, Nathan Fabian, Chief Sustainable Systems Officer at the PRI, examines what happens to the world's ageing, high-emitting infrastructure—and why the way we decommission these assets is central to a just and orderly transition. He is joined by Julien Halfon, Head of Corporate and Pensions Solutions at BNP Paribas Asset Management, whose team estimates there are at least US$7.5 trillion in unfunded decommissioning costs embedded in today's energy and industrial systems. Together, they explore how responsible investors can move from walking away from “brown” assets to actively stewarding them through end of life, clean-up and repurposing.OverviewThe conversation begins with Julien outlining the research behind the US $7.5–8 trillion decommissioning liability estimate, drawing on global studies from regulators, multilateral institutions and sectoral assessments. He explains how decommissioning liabilities emerged from the nuclear sector and is now a critical but underfunded obligation across oil and gas, mining, coal power and even renewables. Only a small fraction—mainly in nuclear—has been pre-funded, leaving governments, taxpayers and future generations exposed.Nathan and Julien then unpack why responsible investors cannot simply divest from polluting assets and “leave the mess behind”. In a diversified portfolio, the costs of unmanaged decommissioning, stranded infrastructure and damaged communities reverberate across the wider economy. The discussion reframes decommissioning as part of long-term stewardship: engaging through the full lifecycle of assets, recognising decommissioning as a real liability, and using innovative instruments such as transition and decommissioning bonds to convert environmental debts into investable, long-term solutions.Detailed CoverageThe decommissioning gapJulien explains BNP Paribas Asset Management's estimate of roughly US$8 trillion in decommissioning liabilities, of which around US$7.5 trillion remains unfunded once existing nuclear reserves are stripped out. Current corporate provisions fall far short of this figure, leaving a significant hidden risk.Why end-of-life stewardship mattersUsing examples such as abandoned copper mines, he illustrates how poorly managed closures can leave toxic legacies, stranded communities and fiscal burdens for governments—costs that ultimately flow back to diversified investors through sovereign and systemic risk.From cost centre to opportunityThe episode highlights how active stewardship can unlock value from “end-of-life” assets, from re-mining tailings for valuable metals to repurposing industrial hubs, offshore platforms or nuclear sites into data centres, wind farms and other green infrastructure.Financing the transition: decommissioning and transition bondsJulien sets out how decommissioning and transition bonds can pre-fund clean-up and rehabilitation by transforming environmental liabilities into transparent financial ones, while freeing equity capital for redevelopment. Investor appetite has been strong, given the measurable nature of decommissioning activities and the clear brown-to-green trajectory.Policy, pensions and local communities Drawing on defined benefit pension frameworks, the discussion explores how tax-advantaged, ring-fenced decommissioning funds and supportive local development policies can help manage liabilities, protect communities and scale new markets for repurposed assets.Find out more about the PRI's work on climate and environmental...

P.M. Edition for Nov. 17. As companies are laying off thousands of workers, they're using new tactics like texting and emails and listen-only video calls to communicate to workers that they've lost their jobs. Chip Cutter, who covers workplace issues for the Journal, discusses what's driving these new strategies and how workers are responding. Plus, the head of FEMA has resigned after about seven months on the job. And “Baby Shark Dance”—every toddler's favorite jam—is YouTube's most watched video ever.

This week, Jason, Don and Matt sit down with a giant of the liberty movement, the founder of the Brownstone Institute, Jeffrey Tucker. Jeffrey kicks things off by discussing his relationship with our previous guest, Stefan Molyneux, which leads into a candid conversation about his own intellectual shift over the last decade. He explains how he moved from the black-and-white world of pure anarchism to a more nuanced perspective on complex issues like immigration. This candor sets the stage for a raw discussion on the profound cognitive dissonance in modern politics. We explore how the Trump administration is openly selling out its base with tariffs and new stimulus checks, creating a massive divide within the MAGA movement. Jeffrey offers his take on the psychology of what causes people to continue supporting a system that is so openly exploiting them, and we examine Trump's cozy relationship with the very technocrats he claims to fight, like Peter Thiel. This theme of co-option pivots the conversation to the financial endgame: the hijacking of Bitcoin. We break down the news of the first-ever central bank—the Czech National Bank—purchasing Bitcoin alongside US dollar-backed stablecoins. This isn't adoption; it's the establishment hijacking the "Bitcoin" brand to legitimize their real goal: a world of regulated stablecoins and total financial surveillance. We connect this directly to BlackRock's plan for the "tokenization of everything" and their mission to buy the world. We also touch on the internal crypto civil wars, discussing Roger Ver and why he's a target of the Bitcoin maximalists. It's a wide-ranging conversation on the nature of statist co-option, but we end on a powerful white pill, as Jeffrey reminds us that the solution to this high-tech tyranny is a classic one.

With new data from the National Academy of Sciences, it dismantles the myth that the U.S. lacks skilled STEM talent—showing that American students outperform their foreign counterparts across the board. What's really driving the visa surge, the commentary argues, isn't superior talent from abroad but cheaper, tightly controlled labor through what amounts to modern-day indentured servitude. From Fox News' sudden populist streak to real-world stories—like an American Amazon hire surrounded entirely by H-1B workers—this breakdown exposes how big business, politicians, and the visa system create a rigged market that sidelines U.S. graduates while pretending it's all about “innovation.

Summary In this episode, Mark Walters discusses the implications of recent elections on gun control legislation, particularly in Virginia, and the role of the NRA in advocating for Second Amendment rights. The conversation also covers upcoming Supreme Court cases that could impact gun rights, the importance of grassroots activism, and the responsibility of corporations like Patriot Mobile in supporting these causes. The discussion highlights the energized political landscape and the need for continued vigilance among gun owners and advocates. Takeaways The Virginia elections have significant implications for gun control legislation. Grassroots activism is crucial in the fight for Second Amendment rights. The Supreme Court's involvement is essential in shaping future gun laws. Corporate responsibility plays a role in supporting Second Amendment advocacy. The left is motivated and organized, necessitating a strong response from conservatives. Elections can drastically change the political landscape and affect gun rights. Legal challenges are a key strategy in combating anti-gun legislation. The NRA is actively involved in multiple court cases related to gun rights. Public awareness and engagement are vital for protecting freedoms. Patriot Mobile exemplifies corporate activism in support of Second Amendment rights.

#319 The modern power grid faces an existential challenge: integrating massive amounts of renewable energy while keeping the lights on. Sean Kelly, CEO and Founder of Amperon, explains how artificial intelligence and machine learning are replacing outdated forecasting methods to predict energy supply and demand with precision. This conversation explores battery optimization, demand response programs, and why traditional grid models no longer work in a world of extreme weather and distributed generation.Sean Kelly leads Amperon, a company providing AI-driven energy forecasting platforms for grid operators, battery owners, and energy traders. With nearly 20 years of experience in energy trading and risk management, Kelly has worked for major energy firms such as Tenaska, Lehman, EDF, and E.ON, where he led significant trading desk developments and transitions, including bringing nuclear power plants into new markets. Key Discussion Points:Traditional forecasting models look backward. AI models look forward and learn in real time, adapting to grid changes as they happen.Battery storage is exploding. ERCOT expects 40% more storage in the next 5 years. Texas batteries run 1-2 hours, California runs 4-hour batteries, and companies like Form Energy are developing 100+ hour systems.The critical hours are 6pm to 9pm. When solar goes down at sunset and wind drops simultaneously, batteries become essential. Amperon's platform tells operators exactly when to charge and discharge for maximum profit.The grid needs 6 terawatt hours of energy storage but we're only one-tenth of the way there. Developers should build all projects battery-ready or include storage today.Demand response works like insurance. Grid operators pay large customers to reduce load during peak times. Penalties are severe for non-compliance, ensuring the system works when needed.Forecasting is no longer optional. Sean calls it "the operating system of the modern grid." Historical averages won't keep the lights on anymore.Data centers and large industrial loads play a critical role in grid flexibility, backing down from 20 megawatts to 10 megawatts when grid operators need relief.Connect with Sean Kelly LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-kelly-0792626/ Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.
