"Apparently something is going to happen at the end of this episode that goes on into Season 5. And they never show any of it. So I'm gonna unlock that little tea!" promises Christi, and deliver she will as our beautiful Bitches round the corner into the second half of "The Understudies".The ALDC arrives at Sheer Talent greeted by Cathy's lovely insults over the intercom. Abby is already frustrated enough with Cathy and, as if pre-ordained, announces Maddie will be performing her solo despite Jill's best efforts to get Kendall the spotlight. Cathy's only competition for Maddie is Gino, despite the two being in separate age categories so are they really competing? And does it really matter if Cathy seems bent on sabotaging Gino's chances by putting him in THAT outfit?The rest of the moms are fed up with their daughters being sidelined and an argument erupts over the white board tallies. Abby does not like her methods being questioned and argues the moms never complained about it before the show... despite her teaching style and time commitment with these girls being completely different at this time! Christi points out that the rest of the girls are used as fodder to prop up Maddie, and Abby silently storms out. Seemingly in retaliation, she pulls the group number from the competition, leaving only Maddie's solo as the sole ALDC performance of the evening. But is that what really happened? Did Abby go to such lengths over a petty argument? Surely there have been more severe fights at this point that never warranted such measures. Could it be that Abby was actually afraid to lose to Cathy? Well thankfully we have the Producer's Notes to shed some light on the situation!Quotes“You know why I had detention? Why? Guess. Talking too much? Yes, of course." (18:06-18:12 | Christi & Kelly)“I don't remember any of this, I must have been drinking in a corner. Just praying to make it end. Like please make the day go faster!" (29:57-30:05 | Christi)“You said your kids succeed on the backs of our kids. Because in order for your kids to be the winners, our kids have to be the losers. That right there, that sentence, is Dance Moms in a nutshell." (33:55-34:06 | Christi & Kelly)“This was so stupid, we went this whole weekend for Maddie to do a dance. That's it!"

Noah Smith's Substack: www.noahpinion.blog Impulse Labs: www.impulselabs.comFast Company on Impulse Labs: Innovation by Design 2024: Impulse Labs' new induction cooktop is a step up from your gas stove - Fast CompanyREALIGNMENT NEWSLETTER: https://therealignment.substack.com/PURCHASE BOOKS AT OUR BOOKSHOP: https://bookshop.org/shop/therealignmentEmail Us: realignmentpod@gmail.comSam D'Amico, Founder & CEO of Impulse Labs, and Noah Smith, author of the Noahpinion Substack, join The Realignment. Marshall, Noah, and Sam discuss how the "Electric Tech Stack," a combination of advances in batteries, motors, power electronics, and computing, will reshape everything from kitchen appliances to warfare. They argue that electricity will increasingly "eat" the world, that China has seized the lead in the race to electrification, and make the case for a serious industrial policy.

Electricity demand is soaring, and some think the answer isn’t building bigger, but smaller. That’s the idea behind small modular reactors (SMRs): take a large-scale nuclear plant that’s hard to build, and shrink it down to something that’s more manageable, cheaper and easier to replicate. Instead of one huge nuclear plant, you build 10 small ones. Right now these kinds of small modular reactors are in the startup phase, with only two in commercial operation in Russia and China. So how viable is the business for these small modular reactors? And will SMRs ever become a scaled up solution for our energy needs? Rachel Slaybaugh joins Akshat Rathi on Zero to discuss.

The wholesale electricity market has changed plenty in recent years, and if future projects are any indication, more change is on the way in the decade-plus ahead.On this episode of Alternative Power Plays, Buchanan's Alan Seltzer and Brattle's Metin Celebi welcome colleague Andrew Levitt, a Senior Consultant at Brattle. Levitt is an expert in wholesale electricity policy, focused on evolving system needs. He's an expert in market design for emerging resources and has worked with utilities, regional transmission organizations (RTOs), and regulators.During the discussion, the three get into the weeds on an American Clean Power-commissioned report Brattle published that provides a roadmap for RTOs on energy storage market design. Conventional market design is very limiting for new technologies, specifically batteries, and the report focuses on why the RTOs of PJM, MISO and NYISO are strong candidates for reform. They also talk about why California Independent System Operator (CISO) and Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) remain leading examples of battery storage deployment and what has made them successful. Finally, Levitt ends the conversation with insights on what changes need to be made to other RTOs to make energy storage deployment possible.To learn more about Brattle, visit: https://www.brattle.com/To learn more about Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, visit: www.bipc.comTo learn more about Alan Seltzer, visit: https://www.bipc.com/alan-seltzer⁠To learn more about Metin Celebi, visit: ⁠ https://www.brattle.com/experts/metin-celebi/

"No one from Dance Moms has ever talked about this, so this is like real behind the scenes tea." remarks Christi, so you know it's going to be a must-listen. But even more enticing is the fact that Kelly's back! And just in time to cover the first half of "The Understudies" as Abby's continued insults results in the moms keeping a running tally.After Maddie's surprise solo appearance at last week's competition, Abby sticks her right back at the top of the pyramid. Abby could have given Nia (who led the group to 1st) the top spot but some habits die hard I guess. Abby is more preoccupied with the fact the ALDC is facing off against Cathy's Candy Apples this week and her star player is preoccupied with other media appearances. Just in case Maddie's schedule might wisk her away to Miami, Chloe and Kendall are assigned as her understudies. Chloe also gets the rough end of Abby's barbs during group rehearsal after coming to practice injured, but there's also more to that story the cameras couldn't capture.Of course Abby doesn't miss a chance to brag about Maddie's good fortune, but her bragging quickly leads to more insults towards the other girls. Fed up with the negative comparisons to Maddie, the moms begin a running tally of how often each girl get unfavorably compared to her. But after production supplies a physical scoreboard for the mom to mark-up, Abby quickly catches on and things unsurprisingly begin to spiral.Quotes“You're allowed to take some days off, you have some built up PTO. you went through an entire year and a half of cancer and never missed a podcast!"

Just under a third of electricity came from renewables in July, the first month of a new coal-free era for Ireland's power system. Provisional data from electricity grid operator EirGrid shows that 32% of electricity came from wind, grid-scale solar and other renewable sources last month. Wind energy met 24% of total demand, with 6% coming from solar. July saw another significant peak in grid-connected solar generation with a new record of 798 MW registered, up 30 MW from the previous record. July also marked the first full month in which coal did not feature in Ireland's electricity fuel mix, after its use was discontinued at Moneypoint in June after 40 years. Gas was the single largest source of electricity generation in July at 51%, with imports at 15%. Overall electricity system demand stood at 2,734 GWh (Gigawatt Hours) for July. Once again, fluctuations in electricity demand were noticeable during this year's GAA All-Ireland finals last month, with increases of around 80 MW coinciding with half-times as viewers switched on kettles and other appliances during breaks in play. Investment in the electricity grid, such as that announced in the National Development Plan last month, will be vital for enabling the necessary upgrades and reinforcements to the grid to ensure it is resilient and capable of accommodating greater amounts of renewable energy in future. Commenting on the data, Diarmaid Gillespie, Director of System Operations at EirGrid, said: "As the power system marked the first full month of a new coal-free era, we've continued to see new milestones set for grid-scale solar power with the peak now standing at just below the 800 Megawatt mark as of July - a figure that may still be surpassed over the coming months."

Editor's note: The uncertainties of data center construction — like when, where, and how much to build — are as pressing as ever. So we're revisiting a conversation with Brian Janous, co-founder and chief commercial officer at data center developer Cloverleaf Infrastructure. In this episode, he explains his theory of the ‘Watt-Bit Spread', which offers insightful heuristics for understanding how data centers are driving change in the power sector. Every data center company is after one thing right now: power. Electricity used to be an afterthought in data center construction, but in the AI arms race access to power has become critical because more electrons means more powerful AI models. But how and when these companies will get those electrons is unclear. Utilities have been inundated with new load requests, and it takes time to build new capacity. Given these uncertainties, how do data center companies make the high-stakes decisions about how much to build? How sustainable is the rate of construction? And how much will these data center companies pay for electricity? In this episode, Shayle talks to Brian Janous, co-founder and chief commercial officer at data center developer Cloverleaf Infrastructure. Brian recently explained how he thinks about these questions in a LinkedIn post titled “The Watt-Bit Spread,” which argues that the value of watts is incredibly high right now, and the cost of those watts is too low. Shayle and Brian cover topics like: The unclear data center demand and high costs that are making data center companies hesitant to build How the skills required for data center development have shifted from real estate and fiber to energy Why higher power prices are needed to incentivize new generation Potential solutions for better pricing electricity and speeding up the construction of new generation Recommended resources Latitude Media: AES exec on data center load: 'It's like nothing we've ever seen' Latitude Media: Mapping the data center power demand problem, in three charts Latitude Media: Are we thinking about the data center energy problem in the right ways?

Electricity demand is booming, and it’s not just because of artificial intelligence. So much so that many are ready to revisit the idea of nuclear power. Microsoft signed a $16 billion deal to reopen the Three Mile Island nuclear plant to power their data centres for the next 20 years. But developed countries haven’t built more than a handful of new reactors in decades. When they have tried, the cost of those nuclear plants and the time to build them has been extraordinary. Will this renewed interest yield different results? Nuclear scientist and partner at venture capital firm DCVC Rachel Slaybaugh joined Akshat Rathi on Zero to discuss how these new dreams of growing nuclear power can become a reality.

The grid “is designed for the core components - supplying electricity - but we are definitely pushing it to its limits,” says Melissa Lott, Partner for energy technologies at Microsoft*. The electricity grid has been described as one of the greatest achievements of human civilisation, because of its complexity, scale, and essential role in our societies. But it's been around for over century, and in some places its components are many decades old. Whatever you think about the future of energy, it seems clear that we need a modernized grid to meet the new challenges we are facing, including growing demand and increased reliance on variable renewables. So how do we build the right things in the right places? Joining Melissa and host Ed Crooks is first-time Energy Gang guest Alice Jackson. She's a VP of Grid Modeling at the think-tank and cleantech investment firm Breakthrough Energy*. Alice shares how Breakthrough Energy is working to help develop a grid that will meet future needs, around the world. Among other work, they are building open-source, open-access tools for grid planners, to shorten the time needed to secure regulatory approvals and start building. With rising energy needs driven by data centers for AI and new gigafactories, and new types of load such as EV charging, the grid requires radically different system planning to meet demand. On top of that, the physical infrastructure that makes up the grid is aging and badly in need of renewal in many developed countries. Alice, Ed and Melissa discuss the challenge of balancing the need to replace old and crumbling infrastructure with the need to scale up capacity to match demand. The gang also assess a recent paper from the US Department of Energy, which warns that “the status quo is unsustainable” for the nation's grid. And they debate cutting-edge approaches that are being proposed to help boost flexibility in electricity systems and minimise the need for more fossil fuel generation. The US energy department report discussed in this episode can be found here: https://www.energy.gov/articles/department-energy-releases-report-evaluating-us-grid-reliability-and-security*Melissa and Alice are appearing in this episode in a personal capacity; their views do not necessarily represent those of Microsoft or Breakthrough Energy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As electricity demand surges across the country due to data centers, electrification, and industrial growth, the U.S. power grid is under pressure to keep up. But what do the numbers really show, and where are we headed? In this episode of Energy Solutions, EPSA President and CEO Todd Snitchler sits down with Angelina LaRose, Assistant Administrator for Energy Analysis at the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), to dive into what the data is telling us – from a changing resource mix to the vital role of dispatchable resources and the surprising growth in winter peak electricity demand. She also shares how EIA maintains its neutrality, how new tools like the Energy Atlas and Electric Grid Monitor help make sense of the grid, and what to watch in the months ahead as power demand continues to rise. Together, they tackle: The rising electricity demand across sectors – from AI to manufacturing The evolving generation mix, including trends in coal, solar, and storage The critical role of natural gas and dispatchable resources How EIA incorporates extreme weather and infrastructure constraints Regional reliability risks and price volatility EIA's approach to modeling policy changes and staying neutral

"In the words of the infamous Abby Lee Miller, the show must go on!" laments Christi, as it's another week at the Barre without our illustrious Bitch #2.Unfortunately Kelly is back in the hospital this week; we're wishing her a speedy recovery as always. But in the meantime we want to keep the lights on at the Barre so we can continue to help support Kelly as best we can. So while we organize and bring on some additional guests, Intern Matt has continued to sort through all your comments to find the best questions for Christi to answer for an impromptu Q&A. During our last Q&A we managed to get some pretty juicy tea out of Christi, will this batch hold such riches?More importantly, will Matt find a way around his supposed potty mouth? Actually, does Matt really have that much more of a potty mouth than our beloved Bitches!? Some of you seem to think so it seems! So let's see if the good Dr. cant strike a balance between holy s**t and gee willickers!Quotes“Matt made a powerpoint yesterday and sent it to me. It is not fit for public consumption." (04:14-04:21 | Christi)“So there's this person I used to know named Abby. Couldn't guess who she was. I had to change her name in my phone as "Zabby" because I would go to put something in and undoubtedly she would come up first all the time and I almost... and I probably did, send her some texts that were not for her eyes." (06:57-07:18 | Christi & Matt)“I'm sure somewhere there is footage if Kelly peeing in the parking lot." (20:17-20:22 | Christi)“Dance Moms didn't have a gentle decline. It literally got to the top and suddenly it all sucked."

In Episode 40 of the Power Trends podcast, NYISO Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Emilie Nelson offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the grid was managed during June's heatwave, which brought record-setting temperatures across the Northeast. Nelson walks through the critical decisions and emergency measures that helped ensure adequate supply margins across New York. According to Nelson, forecasting, demand response, and a mix of energy resources—including solar and wind—helped manage the system during a period of sustained heat. The episode also covers the NYISO's new Grid Alert System, which communicated system conditions in real time. Energy Watch and Energy Warning alerts were issued to the public over the course of the three-day event when reserves dipped below 2,620 and 1,964 megawatts, respectively.Nelson also describes how the NYISO prepares for periods of high demand, and how coordination among neighboring grid operators plays a critical role in maintaining system reliability.Listen to Episode 40 of Power Trends to learn more about how the grid is managed during extreme weather events.

California Energy Markets Associate Editor Abigail Sawyer and Dan O'Brien, senior modeling analyst for Energy Innovation, discuss the implications of the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act and other federal policy shifts on the Western energy landscape. Will the earlier end of tax credits for renewable energy make a difference, or have renewables already won in the marketplace? How will new demands around sourcing solar panels and raw materials from China affect development and costs for U.S. energy consumers? Will the nation be able to meet the increasing demand for power or be stymied by these shifts in policy? Dan brings his knowledge about these questions. He offers insight about how the legislation will affect energy costs in different states and how some states might push back against new policies as  the nation's energy future transforms.

On this episode of Alternative Power Plays, Buchanan's Alan Seltzer and John Povilaitis welcome Jon Gordon, Director at Advanced Energy United. Advanced Energy United (AEU) is an industry association and advocacy group that represents the full range of advanced energy technologiesand services, both grid-scale and distributed. In his role, Jon leads AEU's work to increase wholesale electricity market access for advanced energy technologies, including related transmission expansion.The conversation centers around PJM, the regional transmission organization (RTO) that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in 13 states and Washington, D.C. In February, AEU published a report examining the results of PJM's capacity auction for 2025-2026, which saw prices surge to $14.7 billion, an increase of $12.5 billion from the previous auction. The three discuss the results of that report and how it will impact customers, what's driving high prices, what additional reforms and remediation are needed to improve interconnection, and more.On a previous episode of Alternative Power Plays, Seltzer and Povilaitis sat down with Gordon's colleague, Ryan Gallentine, Managing Director of Advanced Energy United where they discussed what policies Gallentine is focused on to help move electric vehicle adoption forward.

"I can't imagine you're watching Dance Moms every night, you know for fun!" Christi remarks to Ed Phelan, an OG Dance Moms choreographer who returns to the Barre this week after a two year hiatus to check-in on Christi and Kelly as they tackle Season 4's "No More Crybabies". With Nationals quickly approaching Abby begins to shift focus on to who will be getting solos and whose going to be left on the sidelines. She assigns Mackenzie, Select team member Tea, and Sarah H solos to see who will get cut from consideration. Though Abby does Sarah H no favors by giving her a dance centered around the Holocaust of all things! It wasn't about that once the episode aired, but it must have been fun explaining that one to the kids!But Abby is more worried about the fact the ALDC is slated to compete against Ava at this week's competition, which inspires the classic Abby move of, "What if I surprise added Maddie to the line-up?!" which she's certain everyone will like! Shockingly Maddie's inclusion doesn't earn Abby any goodwill, and instead works to only encourage the other moms to turn on Melissa who allowed her other daughter to be upstaged.Quotes“It was the ugliest menagerie of clothing I've ever seen. But I digress, that's every week." (18:21-18:26 | Christi)“It was nice to see her in a shirt that wasn't black with blue writing. It was blue with black writing! I was like oh we're expanding!" (23:20-23:25 | Christi)“This is giving Schindler's List." (32:49-32:51 | Christi)“I don't think anybody should be demonstrating a temper tantrum more than Abby Lee Miller."

A troubling statement makes us want to think of exceptions to it that would prove that statement to be wrong.“Outliers are interesting, but they rarely matter,” is a troubling statement, and you may already be thinking of exceptions to it. But it remains true nonetheless.This second statement is also true. “If there were no outliers, there would be no new inventions, no innovations, no progress. We would be trapped forever in the status quo.”These seemingly contradictory statements can both be true because there are two kinds of outliers.Leonardo da Vinci made marvelous art and filled fabulous sketchbooks with his insightful ideas, but he didn't really change anything. He was just an interesting outlier whose mind was ahead of his time.Rare is the outlier who throws a pebble into the ocean of time and shifts the world off its axis. Electricity is harnessed. Computers are invented. Someone connects them and now everyone knows everything all the time.“What distinguishes the past from the present is not biology, nor psychology, but rather technology. If the world has changed, it is because we have changed the world.”– Ezra Klein & Derek Thompson in their new book, AbundanceTechnology changes the world, but persuasion changes hearts and minds.I am an ad writer.When I was in my 20s, I was told,“People never change their mind. If you give a person the same information they were given in the past, they will make the same decision they made in the past. When a person appears to have ‘changed their mind,' what they have really done is made a new decision based on new information.*”Ten years later I realized that those people were trying to use logic to create “persuasion technology.” Their mistake was assuming that people make their decisions logically. But people do not trust new information when it disagrees with their belief system.New information may allow you to win the argument, but it rarely wins the heart.And a person convinced against their will, remains unconvinced, still.Wash away the opinions, bravado, and fluff, and you will find that most people are NOT seeking new information. They are seeking identity reinforcement.Bertrand Russell was a mathematician and a logician. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature eight years before I was born.He said,“If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance with his instincts, he will accept it even on the slenderest evidence.”When your goal is persuasion, don't begin with new information. Begin by agreeing with what they already believe. Meet them where they are. Only then can you hope to lead them to where you want them to go.Abraham Lincoln knew that persuasion is easier when you begin at a point of mutual agreement.“If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what you will, is the greatest high-road to his reason, and which, when once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing his judgment of the...

Electricity bills in Pennsylvania and neighboring states are likely to rise once again next year. A narrowing gap between supply and demand is driving up prices. The massive Republican-backed spending bill signed by President Trump on July 4 makes major changes to the SNAP program, also known as food stamps. Because of those changes, Pennsylvania could soon have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in additional costs currently covered by the federal government. The state budget is nearly four weeks late, and nonprofits and schools say they may soon have to make difficult budget decisions of their own. State Senator Lindsey Williams says rape crisis centers are especially concerned about their funding.

An old fan used by my Grandfather to provide a little respite from the Oklahoma summer heat had a history. It had been purchased three decades before I became fascinated with it, listening to it's ancient blades whir during his afternoon naps. I later learned it figured prominently in a sad chapter in the family story and represented progress during a tumultuous time in American history.     SUPPORT INDEPENDENT ARTIST!

"Kelly is grounded until further notice," commands Christi, and with good reason. Unfortunately not long after recording our last episode, Kelly found herself back in the hospital dealing with another medical emergency. So in the spirit of keeping her healthy she'll be taking this week off while we do a Q&A! Covering for Kelly this week is Intern Matt, who has scoured through all of your messages to try and formulate an ideal Christi Q&A for you all. No duds, we promise!Topics include everything from which cast member does Christi wish never entered the picture, thoughts on Holly and Jill sticking it out until the end of the she, and even more tea that has yet to be spilt after 4 seasons of episodes! Tune-in for these topics and much more on a very entertaining trip to the Barre.Quotes“Kelly is one tough bitch." (05:24-05:26 | Christi)“See here I am, Saint Christi, absolving people of their sins. Now if only somebody would extend the same courtesy to me.” (26:57-27:03 | Christi)“This is the most in-depth question we've done so far. Right, because I've never thought about sleeping with the Dance Moms! Sorry, all these other questions I know the answer to!" (43:14-43:23 | Matt & Christi)“I said to Jill that I could not heat The Wobble without thinking of her. And she goes, is it because they say "Big Girl"? No!"
