My guest on the show today is Maj Soueidan, Founder, Editor, and Chief Portfolio Officer at MS MicroCaps and GeoInvesting. In this episode, Maj shares a comprehensive update on his investment philosophy, including the performance and evolution of the MSM Quality Index, a passive, factor-driven approach to finding high-quality microcap stocks with multibagger potential. We discuss how the MSM Index blends qualitative and quantitative analysis, what separates it from traditional model portfolios, and the role of occasional rebalancing. Maj also walks us through how the index achieved over 100% returns since inception and why it's built for long-term staying power. We also dive into the differences between MS Micro Caps and GeoInvesting — one serving as a pipeline of ideas, the other as a deeper research platform — and how Maj thinks about conviction levels, diversification, and information edge. From spotting opportunities in “old boring companies” benefiting from data center and AI trends to reading between the lines in press releases and earnings transcripts, Maj offers a masterclass in info arbitrage and microcap idea generation.

In this week's episode of Nonprofit Newsfeed the focus is on the environmental impacts of AI data centers. This conversation is sparked by a New York Times article highlighting the plight of a family in Georgia affected by a nearby Meta data center. The discussion evolves into a broader debate on the ecological footprint of AI technologies and how nonprofits can navigate these concerns. Main Topics and Insights: AI Data Centers and Environmental Concerns: The episode delves into the environmental impact of AI data centers, which require significant water and energy resources. For instance, a new Amazon data center in Indiana demands 2.2 gigawatts of electricity, enough to power a million homes. The hosts discuss the story of Beverly and Jeff Morris, whose well water quality deteriorated following the construction of a Meta data center near their home, illustrating the localized environmental strain caused by such facilities. Debate on AI's Environmental Footprint: George and Nick engage in a debate, weighing the environmental costs against the technological advancements AI brings. George argues for a balanced view, noting that all technological innovations initially consume significant resources but become more efficient over time. Nick emphasizes the real and immediate impact on local communities, advocating for more responsible and sustainable practices by tech companies. Nonprofit Sector Considerations: The episode provides insights for nonprofits on communicating these complex issues to their audiences. It encourages a nuanced approach, recognizing the potential benefits of AI in enhancing operational efficiency and impact, while also advocating for sustainable practices in tech development. Additional Highlights: OpenAI's $50 Million Nonprofit Fund: The episode briefly touches on OpenAI's initiative to support community organizations, focusing on leveraging AI for education, economic opportunities, and community organizing. IRS Changes on Political Activity for Religious Institutions: A new IRS ruling allows religious 501(c)(3) organizations to endorse political candidates, raising concerns about potential loopholes in campaign finance laws.

Every second an AI-enabled data center operates, it produces massive amounts of heat. Cooling needs are often thought of separately from heat, and for years, that is how systems were built. In most facilities, waste heat has to be managed, properly expelled, and is then forgotten. The heat may not be needed by the data center, but the question arises, ‘where else could this energy be put to use?' What if energy use was viewed differently by data centers and the systems and institutions around them? Rather than focusing on a data center's enormous power demands, let's recognize data centers are part of a larger energy network, capable of giving back through the recovery and redistribution of thermal waste. The pursuit of heat reuse solutions drives technological advancements in data center cooling and energy management systems. Recovering waste heat isn't just a matter of technology and hardware. Systems need to run smoothly, and uptime is critical. This can lead to the development of more efficient and sustainable technologies that benefit not only data centers but the communities they operate within, creating a symbiotic relationship. Join Trane® expert Esti Tierney as she explores critical considerations for enabling heat reuse as part of the circular economy. Esti will discuss high computing's growing impact on heat production, the importance of a holistic view of thermal management, and why the need to collaborate and plan a heat redistribution strategy early with community stakeholders matters.   Heat reuse in data centers is a crucial aspect of modern energy management and sustainability practices, offering benefits that extend beyond the immediate operational efficiencies. Designing for optimized energy efficiency and recovering waste heat isn't just about saving money. The ability to reduce energy demand on the grid will be critical for all today and into the future. As server densities increase and next-generation chips push power demands ever higher, waste heat is no longer a byproduct to manage — it's power waiting to be harnessed.

On this weeks episode of the sharper point commentary, Jim Sharpe talks about a new report from Western Resource Advocates that shows the impact new data centers in Arizona will have on water and power systems.

Jim Chilsen, Communications Director of the Citizens Utility Board, joins Lisa Dent to discuss electricity bills in Illinois. Chilsen shares that in addition to the heat waves keeping temperatures high, AI data centers are contributing to the increased cost to electricity bills in Illinois.

On today's show we are looking at the impact of data centres on the local economy where these are located. We are looking at the energy component, and the technology life cycle. You have no doubt heard the statement that “energy is the economy.” It is true that for every unit of GDP there is an equivalent unit of energy consumed somewhere in the world. But in this instance, energy is the lifeblood of the AI industry. In addition to the gold rush in AI, there is a recognition that the world is not generating enough electricity to satisfy the incremental demand from data centres. What caught my attention this past week was not the plethora of announcements of new power generating capacity. Although that is impressive, there is something even more important that we will explore. Let's take a look at the aggregate power generation announcements in just the past month alone. Several of the announcement have been in the range of 2GW. We need to put this in perspective. 2GW of power generation is enough to power 1.5M homes. This is enough to power a city like Phoenix or San Diego or San Antonio. So when we measure the power consumption of a large data centre complex, we are comparing it to the GDP of an entire city of 1.5M homes, or about 3m people. The primary driver of obsolescence is the relentless pace of Nvidia's (and other manufacturers') innovation cycle. New generations of AI chips are released frequently, every 12 to 18 months, bringing significant leaps in computational power, efficiency, and new features.Meta's studies, for example, have shown significant GPU failures during the training of large models like Llama 3, with an estimated annualized failure rate of around 9%, potentially reaching 27% over three years for H100 GPUs.

Across the country, technology companies are searching for land to build large-scale data centers, or physical facilities that house the computers for cloud services and artificial intelligence. About 10 tech giants, such as Microsoft and Meta, have proposed data centers in Minnesota to support their growing AI networks. The Minnesota Star Tribune has found that Google may also be looking for land to build a data center in Minnesota, according to emails obtained through a public records request. For more, MPR News host Nina Moini talks with the Minnesota Star Tribune's Walker Orenstein, who reported the story.

This Day in Legal History: Grant DiesOn July 23, 1885, Ulysses S. Grant—former president and Union general—died of throat cancer at age 63. While honored as a national hero, Grant spent his final years in financial ruin due to a high-profile fraud scandal. He had invested heavily in a Wall Street brokerage firm, Grant & Ward, run in part by his son and the scheming financier Ferdinand Ward. Ward operated what would now be recognized as a Ponzi scheme, using incoming investments to pay off earlier clients and falsely promising high returns. When the scheme collapsed in 1884, Grant lost virtually everything, and the public was stunned to see a former president facing poverty.Rather than accept charity, Grant chose to write his memoirs as a final act of financial restoration. He completed them just days before his death, and their publication by Mark Twain's publishing house ultimately secured his family's financial future. Meanwhile, Ferdinand Ward was arrested, tried, and convicted of grand larceny in 1885. He served six years in prison, and his case became one of the most publicized white-collar crime prosecutions of the 19th century.Legally, the case underscored the absence of federal oversight in securities and investment practices during the Gilded Age. There were no federal securities laws or regulatory agencies at the time, and prosecution of fraud fell to local authorities using traditional theft statutes. The scandal later became a reference point in discussions around the need for more structured investor protections, eventually influencing the rationale for the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Grant's financial downfall, despite his stature, revealed the vulnerability of even prominent individuals to unchecked financial fraud.A federal judge ruled that President Trump unlawfully removed two Democratic members of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) board. U.S. District Judge Amir Ali held that the firings of Todd Harper and Tanya Otsuka in April violated congressional protections that limit when board members can be dismissed. The decision orders both officials reinstated. At the time of their removal, only one board member remained—Republican Chairman Kyle Hauptman—leaving a regulatory gap in oversight of the $2.3 trillion credit union sector.Harper, initially appointed by Trump in 2019 and later elevated to chairman by President Biden, was serving a term set to expire in 2027. Otsuka was confirmed in 2023 with a term ending in 2029. Both argued their dismissals were unprecedented in the NCUA's nearly 50-year history. The Trump administration defended the firings by asserting broad presidential authority to remove such officials at will, a position echoed in other disputes over the limits of executive power at independent agencies. The ruling reinforces the legal principle that certain regulatory positions are protected from politically motivated removals.US judge rules Trump illegally fired two Democratic members of credit union agency | ReutersThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit dismissed a class action lawsuit brought by eight Malian citizens against Hershey, Nestlé, and five other major cocoa companies. The plaintiffs alleged they were trafficked as children and forced to work under brutal conditions on cocoa farms in Ivory Coast. They sought to hold the companies liable under U.S. laws against human trafficking and forced labor. However, the court ruled 3-0 that the complaint failed to plausibly connect the plaintiffs' forced labor to cocoa specifically sourced by the defendants.Judge Justin Walker wrote that while the companies purchase a large share of Ivorian cocoa, the complaint did not establish that the cocoa harvested by the plaintiffs ended up in the defendants' supply chains. The court emphasized that a general connection to a region is insufficient to meet legal standards for liability under trafficking laws. The trial court had previously ruled in favor of the companies in 2022.The plaintiffs' attorney, Terry Collingsworth, criticized the ruling, arguing that global corporations are effectively shielded from accountability by the opacity of their supply chains. He said his clients are considering further legal action. This decision follows a March 2024 ruling by the same court that dismissed similar claims against tech companies over child labor in cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.Hershey, Nestle, other cocoa companies defeat appeal of child slavery lawsuit | ReutersThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled that New Jersey cannot enforce its 2021 law banning new contracts for immigrant detention facilities. The court sided with CoreCivic, a major private prison operator, which had sued the state over the law's potential to block the renewal of its contract for a 300-bed detention center near Newark Airport. In a 2-1 decision, the panel held that New Jersey's ban unconstitutionally interferes with federal immigration enforcement, which relies heavily on private detention centers.Writing for the majority, Judge Stephanos Bibas stated that states cannot obstruct the federal government's operational choices, including its use of private contractors. The ruling emphasized that immigration enforcement is a federal domain, and state laws cannot disrupt its execution. Judge Thomas Ambro dissented, arguing the law only regulated state and local government actions, not the federal government directly.The case has national implications, as the federal government under both Republican and Democratic administrations has defended its authority to contract with private facilities for immigration detention. Critics, including New Jersey's attorney general and immigrant rights groups, argue that privatized detention presents serious health and safety risks and prioritizes profit over human rights. The ruling follows similar court decisions, including a 2022 case blocking California's comparable law while upholding a narrower Illinois statute.US court blocks New Jersey ban on immigrant detention in CoreCivic lawsuit | ReutersA federal judge in Manhattan formally dismissed a mail fraud case that had been effectively resolved over three decades ago but never officially closed. The defendant, Yousef Elyaho, was charged in 1991 with one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud. In 1993, he entered a deferred prosecution agreement, and his bond was released, meaning the case should have been dismissed if he complied with the agreement. However, due to an apparent administrative oversight, the case remained open on the docket for 32 years.No legal action occurred until 1999, when the case was oddly marked as reassigned to “Judge Unassigned,” and then sat idle for another 26 years. It was only in 2025 that the case came to the attention of U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams, who officially closed it. Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank Balsamello acknowledged in a court filing that the government had intended to dismiss the case back in 1993.This unusual situation highlights how clerical errors can leave cases unresolved, despite defendants meeting their legal obligations. The judge's action brings formal closure to a prosecution that, in practice, ended decades ago.US ends a mail fraud case, 32 years late | ReutersAnd in a piece I wrote for Forbes this week:I draw a comparison between ancient Egypt's pyramid-building and the current surge in data center construction across the United States. In both cases, monumental building serves more as a symbol of legitimacy and power than as a practical investment in public welfare. Pharaohs once drained resources to erect ever-larger pyramids, eventually destabilizing their own society. Today, states offer enormous tax incentives to attract data centers—facilities that often generate minimal long-term employment while consuming huge amounts of electricity and water.In the piece, I focus on how these data centers, like the pyramids, have become political symbols. They are marketed as engines of innovation and economic growth but often leave the public footing the bill for infrastructure costs and strained utilities. For example, Pennsylvania passed a $75 million tax exemption for data centers, and similar policies have ballooned to over $1 billion in Texas. Meanwhile, the promised economic benefits frequently fail to materialize.I argue that this race to build tech infrastructure, without considering long-term sustainability or community impact, mirrors a historical pathology: spectacle overtaking substance. These facilities may one day be ruins of a different kind—monuments not to progress, but to political ambition and misaligned priorities.The Pharaohs Built Pyramids—We Build Data Centers This is a public episode.

As AI reshapes the digital infrastructure landscape, data center design is evolving at every level. In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, we sit down with JP Buzzell, Eaton's VP and Data Center Chief Architect, and Doug Kilgariff, Strategic Accounts Manager, to explore the key shifts driving the next generation of compute environments. Topics include: Purpose-built vs. retrofit approaches to AI infrastructure. Liquid cooling requirements for GPU clusters. Modular power design and construction. Behind-the-meter energy strategies. Data center workforce shortages. Eaton's evolving role and insights from its Data Center Vision event. From rethinking site selection to solving for stranded assets and building talent pipelines, Buzzell and Kilgariff provide a practical, forward-looking view on the forces shaping AI-era data centers. Listen now to get the inside track on powering the future of AI infrastructure.

Increasing reliance on digital technologies in general and artificial intelligence in particular are dramatically increasing the energy consumption of data centers.  Data centers consume far more energy per square foot than other commercial buildings.  By the year 2030, data center energy consumption in the US is projected to reach 9% of the country's electricity generation.  […]

Today, I do a deep dive on all the harms of data centers. From sucking up our energy and water to national security and privacy issues, I debunk the case for new data centers. We are approaching artificial intelligence in the wrong way, opting for old-fashioned cloud storage in pursuit of a “generalized intelligence” rather than narrow AI that will actually help streamline industries. There is a reason China is not even competing in this fake arms race.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Texas is an oddity in the western electricity world: fastest growing load, ultra-low prices, crazy development of renewables. Texas consumes now more power than France, despite having only half the population. Prices are a factor 4 lower compared to 20 years ago. And 90% of additional load has been provided by Wind and Solar, despite the permanent attacks from the fossil fuel lobby.To make sense of the current situation in Texas, and also talk about the future, with unbelievable projections, full of AI and Datacentres, we have the pleasure of welcoming Arusha Sharma Frank.Arushi Sharma Frank is an energy policy expert with deep expertise in distributed energy resources (DERs) and virtual power plants (VPPs). She pioneered ERCOT frameworks for grid-integrated VPPs and the integration of batteries on the Grid, while at Tesla where she worked between 2020 and 2024. Arushi was a key architect of the Texas Public Utility Commission's Aggregated DER pilot, enhancing grid resilience post-Winter Storm Uri.  The Lone Star State is at the crossroads: will the additional load arrive? Are the renewables in danger? Can fossil fuels make a come-back, or are we seeing this wrongly, as the new model suggest that it is all about flexibility.Finally, the best source for information on renewable energy in Texas is Doug Lewin: www.douglewin.com

“We're creating a workforce that's ready to walk into the AI era—not just with technical knowledge, but with real-world readiness.” — Aaron Ritchie, SVP of Solutions, Uptime Crew In this episode of Technology Reseller News, Publisher Doug Green speaks with Aaron Ritchie, Senior Vice President of Solutions at Uptime Crew, a newly launched division of Smoothstack. The conversation dives deep into how Uptime Crew is addressing the labor shortfall that's emerging across critical sectors like data centers and semiconductor fabrication—industries that are essential to powering the AI-driven future. Founded in 2018, Smoothstack made its name delivering "Hire, Train, Deploy" (HTD) solutions for software engineering roles. Now, through Uptime Crew, the same model is being extended to high-tech, hands-on careers where demand is skyrocketing—from data center technicians to field engineers supporting chip manufacturing. Unlike traditional staffing firms, Uptime Crew hires full-time employees, pays for their immersive 7–10 week training, and deploys them into mission-critical environments. These candidates often come from unexpected backgrounds—military veterans, auto mechanics, Geek Squad technicians—and are reskilled to thrive in high-stakes, high-tech roles. With national security and economic independence driving massive investment in U.S.-based chip production and data centers (projected to grow from 3,000 to 12,000 facilities), the pressure to find qualified talent is intense. Ritchie explains how Uptime Crew's tailored approach accelerates time-to-productivity by 66% for clients, reduces attrition, and helps companies de-risk hiring amid exponential growth. In one case study, a rapidly expanding tech client saw immediate ROI by partnering with Uptime Crew to build a custom curriculum that mirrored its operational environment. On July 21st, Ritchie will publish a detailed blog outlining the economics and structure of the HTD model for workforce transformation. As he notes, “It's about unlocking potential—and giving both employers and employees the tools they need to succeed in a world being rebuilt by AI.” Learn more: https://uptimecrew.com
