Over the past few years, the car market has gone through some changes.It's getting more expensive to buy a vehicle. Prices for new cars are high and so are interest rates, leaving many buyers stretching payments over six or even seven years to keep monthly costs manageable. Used cars aren't as affordable as they used to be and insurance and repair costs are rising too. At the same time, the types of vehicles on the market are shifting. Electric vehicles are more common. So are SUVs.So, what does this all mean if you're thinking about buying a car?  MPR News host Angela Davis talks with her guests about the economics of buying a car in 2026 — what's driving prices, how financing is changing and what buyers should know before heading to the dealership.Guests:Chris Farrell is senior economics contributor for MPR News and Marketplace. Joseph Yoon is the consumer insights analyst for Edmunds, an online resource for researching and buying both used and new vehicles.

Electric toothbrushes come with a head that makes small circular movements automatically. Studies have shown that, for the same amount of brushing time, they can remove up to twice as much plaque as manual toothbrushes. They also help reduce the risk of gingivitis, gum inflammation, and bleeding. However, some electric toothbrushes can be too abrasive on sensitive or weakened teeth, as not all use the same technology. It also depends on how you use them. Improper brushing can lead to dental hypersensitivity and even tooth loosening. So what is the right brushing technique? How do you choose the right manual toothbrush? So does it really matter what type of toothbrush you use? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Want your spa hot in 25 minutes or your pool warm all season without crushing bills? We break down the real differences between gas heaters and heat pumps so you can pick with confidence. From wiring needs and gas line runs to BTU sizing and actual heat-up times, we translate specs into clear choices you can act on.We start with the basics: why a gas heater delivers instant, on-demand heat while a heat pump pulls warmth from the air with far better efficiency. Then we look at the hidden costs of switching—dedicated 230-volt runs for heat pumps, new gas lines for heaters—and how those infrastructure moves can outweigh any small difference in utility rates. You'll hear how climate shifts performance, too: gas stays consistent even in the 40s, while heat pumps shine in mild weather and can even chill overheated pools in summer.If speed, recovery time, and cold-night spa sessions matter most, a properly sized 400,000 BTU gas heater is tough to beat. If steady comfort, solar integration, and long-term efficiency are your goals, a heat pump often wins on cost per degree. We also share practical notes on lifespan, maintenance complexity, footprint in tight pads, and noise. For anyone stuck between camps, we spotlight Pentair's UltraTemp ETi High Performance Hybrid Heater—one cabinet with four modes: heat pump, gas, hybrid, and dual—so you get fast spa heat when you need it and efficient daily warmth when you don't.By the end, you'll know which option fits your climate, budget, and space—and when a hybrid makes the decision effortless. If this helped you plan your next upgrade, subscribe, share the show with a pool owner who needs it, and leave a quick review to tell us your climate and what you chose.• core differences between gas heaters and heat pumps• installation needs for electrical lines and gas lines• heating speed, BTUs, and real warm-up times• operating costs, efficiency, and solar synergy• climate impacts on performance and reliability• footprint, noise, and recovery time on busy days• regional patterns and Send a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Interview with Brendan Yurik, CEO of Electric Royalties Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/mining-royalty-sector-explodes-with-massive-consolidation-fresh-capital-7469Recording date: 3rd March 2026Electric Royalties Ltd. is a clean energy metals royalty company with a portfolio of 43 royalties across copper, graphite, lithium, tin, manganese, zinc, and nickel. At a current market capitalisation of under C$20 million, the company is valued at a significant discount to the royalty sector — both relative to early-stage peers with one or two royalties trading above $200 million, and to mid-tier royalty platforms trading well above $1 billion. For investors with a multi-year time horizon, this disconnect between current pricing and the underlying portfolio's development trajectory is the central element of the investment case.The company operates with a deliberately lean cost structure with annual G&A is approximately $1 million. One producing royalty at the Punitaqui copper-gold mine in Chile, backed by the Yorktown Group's $3.2 billion private equity platform, is expected to generate over $500,000 in revenue this year, with a near-term target of $1 million. This means the company is approaching cash flow self-sufficiency from a single asset, leaving the remaining 42 royalties to contribute upside without the overhead burden that would typically accompany a portfolio of this scale.The next two to five years represent the key inflection window. Four royalties in particular stand out as near-term production candidates. Mont Sorcier, an iron-vanadium project in Quebec partnered with Glencore and backed by $500 million in UK Export and Import Bank financing, has a feasibility study due in Q2 2026 and a projected 40-plus-year mine life. Management estimates it could add US $1 million to $1.5 million annually in royalties alone. Bissett Creek, a graphite project operated by Northern Graphite with Canadian government funding, is targeting production at four times its original scale, with 70 years of resources at the prior production rate. The Zonia copper project in Arizona, now the sole focus of Edge Copper, has doubled its resource to one billion pounds of copper and is moving toward a feasibility study. Seymour Lake, a lithium project, has secured a $100 million Canadian government letter of intent and is targeting production within two to three years. Each of these royalties entering production would individually add eight times or more of current annual revenue.A structural advantage underpins the company's acquisition strategy. Private equity funds dedicated to clean energy metals typically require deal sizes above $15 million, leaving the majority of royalty opportunities accessible only to smaller, more flexible platforms like Electric Royalties. This has allowed the company to build its portfolio at entry costs that are now difficult to replicate, with some royalties acquired for $150,000 to $200,000 on projects that have since had $50 million to $100 million invested by operators.Strategic M&A is under active consideration as a complementary growth path. Combining portfolios with another royalty company would diversify revenues and spread fixed costs across a broader asset base. With over 50% of shares held by management and their families, the company is protected from hostile approaches while remaining a willing participant in value-accretive consolidation. For investors, the combination of a deeply discounted entry valuation, a near-term production catalyst funnel, government capital backing key assets, and M&A optionality represents an unusual convergence of risk-adjusted return potential in the critical minerals sector.View Electric Royalties' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/electric-royaltiesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode, we speak with Kyle Clark, Founder and CEO of BETA Technologies, who shares how his company went from a college thesis to a publicly traded electric aviation manufacturer delivering real aircraft and generating revenue from military, medical and cargo customers.Clark discusses:The advantage of electric flight: How batteries deliver propulsion at 95% efficiency versus 30% for conventional engines, and how reducing the drag by 30-40% helps electric aircraft achieve meaningful range despite batteries being 30 times less energy dense than jet fuel.The vertical integration imperative: Why aerospace engineering demands system-level optimisation across motors, inverters, batteries and aerodynamics, making vertical integration essential rather than optional for electric aircraft.Strategic market entry through low-friction use cases: Why Beta prioritised military, medical and cargo applications over urban air mobility.The CTOL-first certification pathway: How Beta's dual-configuration approach (conventional takeoff and landing, then adding vertical takeoff capability) enables earlier type certification, while competitors pursue more complex certification paths.Charging infrastructure as a standalone business: How Beta's charging network may become as valuable as the aircraft business, already extending along the East Coast and winning international contracts like Abu Dhabi.The “team member” culture at scale: Beta's radical approach to titles and ownership, giving equity to all employees, and maintaining a flying programme for all staff.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Billy Thalheimer, co-founder and CEO of REGENT, who shares how his company is developing all-electric Seagliders.

On today's disturbingly dirty episode of Quick Charge, Elon Musk is undoing nearly two decades of decarbonization by pumping out massive amounts of pollution to keep his xAI and Grok slop-machines rolling – and hurting some of America's most vulnerable communities at the same time. Tesla's troubles with pollution and carbon don't end there, either – two of company's biggest buyers of carbon credits are taking their business elsewhere, and the damage to Tesla's bottom line could be in the billions. Plus: it's a record month for Hyundai IONIQ 5 sales, electric semi trucks really do save fleets money, and some cool pictures of Volvo heavy equipment assets getting topped off at the Circle K!

This week I sat down with the brilliant Ella de Beer co-founder of Electric Mayonnaise and one of those hospitality people whose career reminds you just how brilliantly unpredictable this industry can be.From waitressing at 14 in South Africa (while telling everyone she was 16… obviously), to opening restaurants, running pubs, building multi-site businesses, leading people functions at brands like Ottolenghi & MJMK and now helping shape the next generation of hospitality leaders, Ella's story is packed with graft, curiosity, and a healthy dose of “why not give that a go?”Along the way there are some absolute hospitality gems… including the moment she handed Leonardo DiCaprio chicken on a stick, worked 3am Soho finishes fuelled by “Chinese tea” and helped open a 300 cover restaurant just as the financial crash hit. Ideal timing.But underneath the brilliant stories is something deeper, a conversation about the power of hospitality as a career, the importance of learning by doing, and why developing people might just be the most important job our industry has.In this episode, Ella and I get into…• Starting in hospitality at 14 and discovering confidence through people• Moving from South Africa to the Netherlands (and learning Dutch while running a restaurant)• The chaos, glamour and 600-cover Saturdays of Soho hospitality in the early 2000s• Why big volume restaurants teach you lessons you never forget• The moment a 300-seat opening met the global financial crash• What London operators learn the hard way when they buy countryside pubs• Building "Sourced Market" at St Pancras and what happens when 1,500 small suppliers meet train station footfall• Moving from operations into people leadership, and why ops experience changes everything• The unique magic (and slightly chaotic brilliance) of working at Ottolenghi• Why hospitality might be the best industry in the world for social mobility• How Electric Mayonnaise is rethinking hospitality education through apprenticeships• And why learning in hospitality should always be practical, human, and immediately usefulSome cracking quote-ables from Ella“Hospitality is where I found my confidence”“You could stand behind the till at St Pancras for eight hours and never stop serving”“Hospitality has to be taught by people who've actually done it”“We're just teaching the way we all learned, by doing the job”“Our responsibility is to show young people this industry can be a real career”Why this episode is worth your earsIf you've ever started in hospitality with no real plan… and somehow found yourself building a career along the way, this episode will feel very familiar.Ella's story is a brilliant reminder that hospitality isn't just about service or restaurants.It's about confidence, opportunity, learning on the job, and giving people a chance to grow into something bigger than they thought possible.And if that doesn't make you proud to be in hospitality…You might be in the wrong tradeShow PartnersA big shout out to the first of today's show partner, RotaCloud, the people management platform for shift-based teams.RotaCloud lets managers create and share rotas, record attendance, and manage annual leave in minutes — all from a single, web-based app.It makes work simple for your team, too, allowing them to check their rotas, request holiday, and even pick up extra shifts straight from their phones.Try RotaCloud's time-saving tools today by heading to https://rotacloud.com/philThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

In this special mini episode of Elevated Access, host Chad Hughes welcomes Blandon Granger, Chair of the International Electric and Utility Committee, along with Gina Cannova and Taylor Doyle, to spotlight the upcoming IEUC Symposium taking place April 9, 2026, in New Orleans. The conversation centers on the mission of the International Electric and Utility Committee within the International Right of Way Association and its role in advancing technical knowledge, education, and networking opportunities for professionals in electric, telecommunications, water, sewer, and natural gas sectors.  The group discusses the expanding demand for electric transmission projects, data center development, and grid modernization, all of which are driving new right of way challenges and opportunities. Gina outlines the educational lineup, featuring speakers from Encore, Xcel Energy, Duke Energy, SMUD, and leading industry attorneys. Topics include legal risk where construction meets right of way, federal utility relocation guidelines, infrastructure project conflicts, asset management, and real-world case studies covering eminent domain, mineral rights, conservation, and large-scale transmission development. Blandon and Taylor highlight the networking, dining, and entertainment opportunities in the host city of New Orleans. From the historic hotel located in the heart of the French Quarter to delicious local cuisine, the visit will be one to remember. Beyond the educational and cultural content, attendees will meet peers across the electric and utility sectors. With registration nearing capacity and sponsorship opportunities limited, the committee emphasizes early registration. Scholarships are also available for utility professionals seeking support to attend. For those involved in electric transmission, land acquisition, regulatory compliance, infrastructure planning, and right of way project delivery, this IEUC Symposium offers both timely education and meaningful industry connection. “Anybody that wants to stay ahead of trends, learn best practices, and connect with peers that are shaping the future of electric utilities in the right of way space should be there.” – Blandon Granger For more information on the IRWA SPARK event in New Orleans on April 9, 2026, visit LinkedIn ___ About Taylor Doyle: With a multifaceted career and roles spanning from Project Manager to General Counsel to Business Development Lead, Taylor's insights into the Energy Industry are both deep and broad.

Rising electricity rates across the country are adding pressure to families and businesses already dealing with inflation in other aspects of their lives. Most Americans get their power from a utility that needs to turn a profit for its investors. And people are fed up with the status quo. “Across the country, the utilities have just gotten greedy and are asking for more than they need,” says Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes.  Some communities are considering cutting out the profit motive for utilities, taking on the complicated and expensive prospect of moving to public power. But switching from an investor-owned utility to public power is an uphill battle. What are other strategies for reining in corporate greed and making electricity more affordable? Episode Guests: Kris Mayes, Arizona Attorney General Naveena Sadasivam, Investigative Reporter and Editor, Grist Carroll Fife, Councilmember, District 3, Oakland, California Jackson Kaspari, Director of Member Services, Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire For show notes, transcript, and related links, visit https://www.climateone.org/podcasts Skill Up for Earth: ⁠https://skillup.earth⁠ 04:00 – Naveena Sadasivam breaks down electric bill drivers by region 14:00 – High bills affected outcome of Georgia Public Utility Commission 17:00 – Tucson town hall held by AZ AG Kris Mayes to discuss power bill 19:00 – Mayes explains why she's intervening in rate cases 27:00 – Imbalance of power between utility companies and PUCs and consumer advocates 33:00 – Would Arizona legislators consider allowing community choice aggregation 36:00 – Carroll Fife on why she supported a state bill to explore other options to power suppliers 43:40 – Jackson Kaspari explains how community choice aggregation works in New Hampshire 48:00 – Utility pushback 54:00 – Kaspari explains how much work it took to set up CCA in New Hampshire 56:30 – Climate One More Thing ********** Support Climate One by going ad-free!

The move fits a broader industry trend of unbundling previously standard features, but risks a backlash on perceived value — particularly given the frunk already lost roughly half its original five cubic feet of space when a heat pump was added in 2024.HYUNDAI TARGETS BODY-ON-FRAME PICKUP BY 2028Hyundai is developing a midsize body-on-frame pickup truck targeting a ~2028 launch, with CEO José Muñoz committing to the project at last September's investor day and Australian COO Gavin Donaldson confirming it will be a distinct vehicle from Kia's unibody Tasman — designed to compete with the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger. Trademarked "IONIQ T7" branding hints the truck may sit under Hyundai's electric sub-brand, and the same platform could underpin a rugged SUV previewed by the Crater Concept at the 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show.POLESTAR ENERGY ADDS GRID REWARDS IN GERMANY, FRANCEPolestar is expanding its smart charging programme to Germany and France, joining Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the UK, with German owners on an Intelligent Octopus tariff able to cut home charging costs by up to roughly 50% per session and save around €300 annually by shifting charging to cheap, low-carbon off-peak windows. A key differentiator is that the programme now runs car-controlled charging directly through the Polestar 2 and Polestar 4 via the in-house app, removing the need for a compatible smart wallbox — and Polestar has also activated V2G and V2H capability for the Polestar 3 in California.RIVIAN JOB POSTING POINTS TO 48V PLATFORMA Rivian engineering job listing has surfaced that explicitly names a 48V DC architecture — a first for the company in any public-facing document — calling for someone to design vehicle topologies spanning 12V, 48V and 120/230V AC systems for an active, undisclosed vehicle programme. When read alongside recent postings for steer-by-wire, rear-wheel steering and Level 4 autonomy roles, the listing points toward a next-generation platform that could combine all four technologies; a 48V system is notable because it delivers the same power as 12V at one-quarter the current, enabling lighter, cheaper wiring harnessesVOLVO PLANS 2027 EX30 UPDATE WITH V2LVolvo is planning a 2027 EX30 refresh that adds vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability and a new 148 hp entry-level powertrain via an over-the-air software update requiring no dealer visit, alongside a reworked touchscreen interface. The cheaper motor — pairable with either a 51 kWh or 69 kWh battery for up to 251 miles of WLTP range — could push the UK entry price toward £30,000, narrowing the gap to rivals like the Alfa Romeo Junior and Mini Aceman, though UK availability has not been confirmed.UK EXTENDS HOME CHARGER GRANT TO 2027The UK government has extended its Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant to March 2027 and is raising the maximum contribution from £350 to £500 from 1 April 2026, with the grant covering renters, flat owners and homeowners without driveways — groups previously locked out of cheap home charging. The extension complements a separate £600 million public charging fund, with ChargeUK noting the UK public charging network has reached 88,500 chargepoints, but underscoring that most drivers rely on a blend of home and public infrastructure.MERCEDES BABY G GAINS HYBRID OPTIONMercedes-Benz has reversed its EV-only plan for the smaller "Baby" G-Class, adding a hybrid variant that will use the CLA's turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder unit from Horse Powertrain producing 188 hp, mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox with an integrated electric motor. Both the battery-electric and hybrid versions will feature four-wheel drive as standard on a bespoke platform, with BEV production pencilled in for 2027 and the hybrid expected to follow — and Mercedes insisting the smaller model will match the full-size G-Class for off-road capability.LEAKED PRICING LIFTS 2026 GEELY EX5 RANGEIndustry guide Redbook has leaked Australian pricing for new Extended Range variants of the 2026 Geely EX5 — AU$41,990 for the Complete and AU$45,990 for the Inspire, each AU$1,000 above current equivalents — though Geely Australia has not officially confirmed figures, specs or an on-sale date. The Extended Range models swap in a larger 68.4 kWh LFP battery (up ~14% from 60.22 kWh), pushing WLTP-rated range to 475 km and 450 km respectively, gains of 45 km over standard versions.MEXICO TIGHTENS AIR RULES AND PUSHES ELECTRIC TRUCKSMexico is combining tightened air quality monitoring under the Ministry of Health with a push to electrify its medium- and heavy-duty fleet, which makes up roughly 25% of the vehicle fleet but generates more than half of all transport-related emissions. Electric truck sales have surged 800% over three years with 25 brands now offering more than 60 commercial EV models in Mexico, while new import rules cap used diesel commercial vehicles at engines no older than 10 years — closing a significant back door for ageing, high-emission trucks.

On today's extraordinary episode of Quick Charge, we reflect on the fact that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and both Donut Labs AND Tesla are a long long way from turning everyone into believers. While Donut Labs' allegedly groundbreaking solid state battery tech gets put to the test, Tesla engineer Victor Nechita, who served as Tesla's vehicle program manager for the Cybercab, has announced he is leaving the company as part of the recent exodus of the brand's top staff.

Every home service operator has a failure story.In this episode of Owned and Operated, John Wilson sits down with Jack Carr (CEO of Rapid Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric in Nashville) to break down the biggest business mistakes they've made — and what those mistakes actually cost.From a $13,000 ad spend weekend that only generated $7,000 in revenue… to overpaying vendors for an entire year… to discovering $80,000 per month in unnecessary purchasing — this is a candid conversation about the operational blind spots that quietly drain profit.The surprising takeaway? Most major failures weren't dramatic. They were data problems. Process problems. Cash flow misunderstandings. And hiring financial leadership too late.If you're scaling a home service business — or planning to — this episode could save you years of expensive lessons.In this episode, we discuss:The $13K marketing mistake and how capacity planning changes everythingHow tightening purchasing controls instantly improved marginsWhy most contractors overpay vendors (and don't even know it)The hidden cost of software bloat and subscription creepConstruction vs. service cash flow — and why mixing the two can hurtWhy hiring a controller earlier would have changed everything

Before Spinbrush became the top selling toothbrush in the U.S—and before Procter & Gamble paid $475M for it—John Osher was a teenager selling earrings for $4.99. In this episode, John walks through the strange, scrappy, but disciplined path that led to one of the fastest consumer-product breakouts ever: from a six-year stint in a commune (where he learned plumbing and carpentry), to selling baby products and battery-powered spinning lollipops. Finally, the big bet: a $5 electric toothbrush that was cheap enough to compete with manual brushes, and good enough to become a best-seller.You'll hear the make-or-break moment that many founders can't survive: the decision to scrap 400,000 defective brushes before they hit the shelves. And then, the stealth move that turned a “licensing pitch” into a buyout —with one perfectly timed bluff.What you'll learn:Why pricing is about what the market will pay, not what your product costsThe hidden power of packaging (How “Try Me” changed everything)How to recover from “entrepreneurial terror” Why scrapping inventory can be the most important decision you'll ever makeThe acquisition formula: you get a lot more money when they want to buy… than when you want to sellTimestamps: 07:01 - A pricing lesson that John used forever: The 19-cent earrings that sold for $4.99.12:04 - Six years in a commune and the unexpected skill stack: plumbing and construction.22:09 - “Entrepreneurial terror” and a lifeline from Toys R Us 29:11 - Spinning lollipops lead to a $166 million Hasbro exit.35:54 - What's the real competition: $80 electric toothbrushes, or cheap manual ones?38:42 - The design breakthrough: fixed + oscillating bristles.55:43 - P&G admits: “We've bought three companies like yours… and ruined them all.”58:07 - The earnout problem: What happens when Spinbrush performs much better than expected?
