The policy environment in the US at the moment is challenging, but developers, utilities, and investors are still moving forward with decarbonisation goals and climate action; they're just talking about it and approaching it in a different way. As RE+ (North America's biggest clean energy event) kicks off, Sylvia Leyva Martinez talks to veteran climate journalist and cleantech investor Molly Wood, about the ways in which the industry is navigating the uncertainty. Molly talks about the outdated forecasts of 1–2% load growth which are being blown apart by real demand increases of up to 30% in some regions, driven by electrification, AI, and data centers. If you can't make it to the event this year, Interchange Recharged will bring you the key discussions and exclusive insights so you don't miss out. You'll hear why traditional load forecasts are being upended by surging demand from AI and data centers, and what that means for project planning and risk management. Despite policy headwinds, the money is still flowing, but in smarter ways: into scalable tech like batteries, grid modernization, and distributed solutions. Investors are refocusing on scalable, commercial-ready technologies like batteries, grid modernization, and distributed energy solutions. And as the narrative shifts from using terms like “net zero” to the more pragmatic “energy dominance,” the conversation explores how storytelling shapes strategy, and why hyperscalers like Google and Amazon may even build their own small modular reactors or power islands to secure the future of energy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill on July 4th, 2025, coupled with an Executive Order (EO) issued by President Trump on July 7th, have shined a light on certain key requirements impacting eligibility for various renewable tax credits that have existed for a number of years, but which have likely been under most people's radar. The requirements are known as the “Beginning of Construction” or “BOC” requirements. On this episode of Alternative Power Plays, Buchanan's Alan Seltzer and John Povilaitis welcome Ed Hild, a principal in Buchanan's government relations practice, and Carl Staiger, a shareholder the firm's tax section with a specific focus on energy-related projects.The One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) accelerated the phase-out or termination of tax credits available for most commercial renewable energy projects. As many in the industry know, maintaining eligibility for tax credits has been an important issue for as long as renewable energy tax credits have existed, as the economic viability of many projects have been tied to these credits. During their conversation, the group explores what the changes made in the OBBB and the potential impact of the Executive Order mean for wind and solar developers with a focus on BOC.To learn more about Ed Hild, visit: https://www.bipc.com/edward-hildTo learn more about Carl Staiger, visit: https://www.bipc.com/carl-staigerTo learn more about Alan Seltzer, visit: https://www.bipc.com/alan-seltzerTo learn more about John Povilaitis, visit: https://www.bipc.com/john-povilaitis
Spreadsheets, SCADA systems, terabytes of old data, and a surprising amount of laughter, this one has it all. Jacob and Julie sat down with Bobby Neelon from Drill Down Analytics to finally ask the “dumb” questions most people are too shy to bring up about energy, oil and gas, and the mysterious world of data. Bobby breaks down how companies actually deal with messy files (yes, even those dusty paper records), why AI and machine learning are shaking up the industry, and what makes tools like Power BI, Spotfire, Snowflake, and Databricks different without getting lost in jargon. Along the way, we swap stories about the ridiculous challenges of working in spreadsheets, the quirks of SCADA, and what it means to move everything into the cloud. Whether you're brand new to energy or secretly love a good data puzzle, this episode makes the complicated stuff easy, and pretty fun too.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

HIGHLIGHTS 4 C's of Success: Colleagues Customers Community Capital On Community Impact "That's true today. Customers, many of them, have a difficult time paying their utility bill. And that's something that you have to focus on. We can't just ignore that reality. And so what we saw was a couple of things. One was we thought that we would be able to help our communities. And maybe beyond what the typical business even sees, the utility business is heavily impacted by how strong their community is because of the customers there... So we felt strongly that this not only was the right thing to do, but was also the right business issue because we really could go in and help our communities. That meant we might have conservation programs and efficiency programs for our customers." RESOURCES Download the Episode Transcript Here

For decades, we've heard about the need to reduce carbon emissions and transition to a low-carbon economy. Yet despite corporate pledges, policy initiatives, and technological advancements, global emissions keep rising. Now, we find ourselves at a crossroads: either we take immediate and radical action, or we brace for accelerating climate impacts and economic upheaval. So, what does this mean for the energy sector? Can utilities, policymakers, and business leaders move beyond incremental changes to the kind of transformative shifts that climate science demands? To explore these questions, this week's Power Perspectives episode welcomes Kevin Anderson, professor of energy and climate change at the University of Manchester and co-founder of Climate Uncensored. Known for his blunt analysis and data-driven critiques, Kevin has spent his career exposing where we've gone wrong—and, more importantly, outlining where we go from here. If you want to cut through the noise and understand the true scale of the challenge ahead, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of ‘Discover Daily', we explore groundbreaking developments in AI technology and their far-reaching implications. Leading the headlines is Google's release of Gemini 2.0, introducing three powerful models - Flash, Pro, and Flash-Lite - each tailored for specific use cases and offering enhanced performance capabilities. We also delve into how the EU's Digital Markets Act is reshaping the iOS app landscape, with the controversial release of Hot Tub marking a significant shift in Apple's traditionally strict content policies.Our main story focuses on DeepSeek's revolutionary R1 AI model, which promises to transform the energy sector with its unprecedented efficiency gains. This Chinese startup's innovation has triggered a dramatic sell-off in energy stocks, with major players like Constellation Energy and Vistra experiencing substantial declines. The development challenges previous assumptions about AI's growing energy demands and could potentially reshape the future of data center infrastructure and power consumption patterns.The implications of DeepSeek's breakthrough extend beyond immediate market reactions, potentially accelerating the transition to renewable energy sources and forcing a reassessment of planned energy infrastructure expansions. With current projections suggesting AI-driven data centers could consume up to 12% of U.S. electricity demand by 2028, this efficiency breakthrough could fundamentally alter the trajectory of energy consumption in the tech sector and influence how companies approach their sustainability goals.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/google-s-gemini-2-0-now-availa-.jZH0lMHSSWdnsRf4nHWxwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/first-iphone-porn-app-controve-v6tz6uHVTfu.3v6lWPmeAwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/deepseek-upends-energy-industr-Ce9aHa1nSZyHcFbXWnCTrQ Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.
