Podcasts about energy costs

U.S. President Donald Trump says that if Canada joining the European Union as a proposed associate member is intended as a “hostile act” against the United States, he may impose tariffs on the EU.“I think it's laughable,” Trump said, while calling Canada a “terrible trade partner.” He added that if the intention behind the initiative is a “hostile act,” he would impose consequences.The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a measure put forward by Republicans that would provide a federal blueprint to ensure data centers pay for their use of local energy grids. It was adopted in a 417–3 vote.AI and other data centers draw huge amounts of electricity from local power grids, straining supplies and leading to utility bill shocks for households across the nation.

European Energy Costs And German PoliticsJudy Dempsey and Thaddeus McCotter analyze European energy vulnerabilities and German political turmoil. Global diesel shortages and rising fuel prices are straining European economies and driving inflation, while U.S. aid to Ukrainehas dropped by 99%. President Trump requested Ukraine cease targeting Russian refineries, though Kyiv lacks sufficient air defenses. In Germany, Chancellor Friedrich Merz faces severe pressure over long-overdue economic reforms alongside electoral gains by the far-right AfD in Saxony-Anhalt and upcoming state elections. Meanwhile, Polandexperiences growing anti-Ukrainian sentiment, and Germany's military is shifting focus toward protecting Ukrainianinfrastructure. (4)

Golden Age: Iran War Update Americans Have Paid $100B in Extra Energy Costs by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Lisa Boothe is joined by Will Hild, executive director of Consumers’ Research, for a deep dive into the growing backlash against data centers and the massive infrastructure buildout powering America’s digital economy and artificial intelligence boom. Hild argues that Big Tech helped create its own political problem by failing to explain how essential data centers are to everyday life—and by ignoring legitimate concerns from the communities where these facilities are being built. He breaks down questions surrounding electricity prices, water consumption, noise, development and the impact on local communities, while explaining why he believes many fears surrounding modern data centers are overstated. Lisa and Will also examine allegations of Chinese influence operations targeting the American debate over AI and energy policy, as well as Hild’s argument that elements of the ESG movement have shifted their focus toward opposing data-center development. They discuss how distrust of Big Tech following years of censorship, deplatforming and corporate political activism has helped fuel resistance to the industry’s latest expansion. Plus, Hild explains the potential upside for communities that welcome data centers, including a larger tax base, infrastructure investment and potentially lower property taxes. He makes the case that America can expand the digital infrastructure needed to compete in the AI era—but that companies must once again recognize that the consumer comes first.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Randy Moss, industry principal at Yardi, joined the REIT Report podcast to discuss the relationship between regulatory changes, rising energy costs, and net asset value (NAV), as well as how improving energy and utility data quality can reduce risk and support stronger REIT valuations. Yardi is a Nareit Real Estate Sustainability Partner.When evaluating potential real estate investments, cash flows often take center stage, Moss noted. Investors are increasingly looking for properties that not only have robust cash flows but also incorporate efficiency improvements. Enhancements that boost property efficiency can lead to maximized rents per square foot and higher occupancy rates, ultimately contributing to a more favorable NAV.Moss discussed how recent regulatory trends have introduced new challenges for real estate investors. Building performance standards (BPS) have emerged, mandating that owners meet specific energy and greenhouse gas emissions caps. As these regulations evolve, they come with significant penalties for non-compliance, impacting long-term cash flows dramatically.New York City's Local Law 97 sets stringent limits on emissions and requires reporting based on historical data. With nearly 27,000 buildings affected, compliance is a critical factor in maintaining property value and investment viability.Chapters: 00:50 Meet The Guests 01:24 How Investors Value Buildings 02:22 New Risks To NAV 02:55 Building Performance Standards 04:10 Local Law 97 Fines 05:40 Compliance Keeps Tightening 06:50 Why Data Quality Matters 08:22 AI With Human Oversight 10:50 Why Power Prices Rise 13:34 Future Policy Uncertainty 14:56 Mitigating Energy Cost Risk 18:08 BPS Lease And Tracking Tips 20:48 Bring In Leadership 22:49 Wrap Up And Subscribe

12/16: Michael Toth attributes California's high energy costs to political ideology rather than global events. These "self-inflicted wounds" have caused a middle-class exodus and potential shortages of materials like asphalt.1690

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East continues to drive the economic narrative, keeping energy costs painfully high for consumers and complicating the outlook for inflation and interest rates heading into peak leasing season.For renters, the impact at the pump has been significant. The national gas average has surged past $4.50/gal according to AAA, up more than a dollar over the past two months, and that kind of sustained increase acts as a quiet drain on the discretionary budgets renters depend on to absorb higher monthly housing costs. Until energy prices meaningfully retreat, operators should expect that pressure to weigh on rent growth even as occupancy holds relatively steady.

Patrick opens the show with a powerful cold open featuring an election worker's disturbing testimony about fraud in the 2020 Michigan election, exposing how stolen elections lead to selected leaders who push destructive policies that crush everyday Americans. From skyrocketing energy costs in Michigan where electric bills could rise $2,000 per year under the state's aggressive wind and solar mandate to Marylanders now paying the highest electric bills in the nation, Patrick connects the dots: Democratic policies, willful ignorance, and special interests are deliberately taking more “meat off the bone” from working families while gaslighting the public.Refinery expert Mike Ariza joins the show to deliver a sobering warning about California's collapsing energy infrastructure. With refinery capacity down 35% since 2023 and growing reliance on foreign imports, Mike explains how policy-driven shutdowns are creating a fragile system that could lead to fuel shortages, economic collapse, and even national security risks. He breaks down the worst-case scenarios and calls for immediate federal intervention before it's too late.In the final block, Patrick highlights the escalating absurdity coming from the left: Rep. Terri Sewell asking RFK Jr. if he's ever “reparented a black child,” one-party Democratic rule in Colorado producing disastrous results, and Justice Clarence Thomas warning that progressivism is fundamentally incompatible with America's founding principles. From stolen elections to energy crises and cultural gaslighting, this episode makes one thing crystal clear the consequences of selected leadership are hitting Americans hard, and the time to push back is now.
