This week's briefing covers three things that landed in the same fortnight and point in the same direction.First, a closed room in central London. The CTO of DPR Construction, a 14 billion dollar US contractor, sat around a table with tier one contractors, engineers, investors and founders. The consensus was uncomfortable. The biggest clients on the planet are telling their supply chains to price on outcomes instead of hours, and to expect that price to fall every year. Nobody in the room, client side included, had a working answer for what replaces the hours model. The near term AI pressure lands in the back office first, not on site. The people best placed to rethink how this industry works are the exact ones pinned to the most lucrative projects, with no time to look up.Then the numbers. The Associated Builders and Contractors survey puts the average US contractor backlog at eight months flat, the lowest since January, down across every region, every sector and every company size. The 12% of contractors holding data centre work are sitting on 11.4 months of runway. The other 88% are at 7.5. That gap went from two and a half months in June to 3.9 months in July. Fluor, one of the biggest engineering and construction firms on earth, saw its shares jump 17.4% in a single day for saying the better money sits one layer below the boom, in power, on contracts where someone else carries the risk.Then open weight AI. Meta and Nvidia both released open weight models this week. The cost of running these models has fallen from 30 dollars per million tokens in 2023 to fractions of a cent today. Gartner projects costs fall another 90% by 2030. The firms selling AI tools built on top of someone else's model are about to get squeezed out. The construction firms that win are the ones that take their own project data, the one asset the big labs cannot get anywhere else, and train on top of it. Not your weights, not your product.Drop your answers to this week's questions in the comments of the LinkedIn post.

Surge Battery Metals Vice President, Commercial Development Steffen Ball joined Angela Harmantas at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada or PDAC conference in Toronto to share news about the company's latest progress at its Nevada lithium project and the strategic developments driving its growth. Ball highlighted renewed optimism across the mining sector, particularly in critical minerals, noting stronger engagement from governments and industry stakeholders. He said the energy at this year's event reflects growing recognition of the importance of securing supply chains for key battery materials. Ball recently joined Surge Battery Metals after working in the automotive industry, including roles with major manufacturers. He explained that this background provides valuable insight into the downstream battery supply chain and the role lithium plays in electric vehicles. “I understand the value chain — where the lithium goes once it's produced out of the ground. It needs to go through this very complicated supply chain before it's in batteries and into a vehicle,” Ball said. During the interview, Ball also discussed the company's operational progress in Nevada. Surge Battery Metals recently signed a joint venture with Evolution Mining, bringing an experienced mining partner into the project area. At the same time, the company has been advancing drilling work focused primarily on infill drilling to strengthen its mineral resource, along with step-out drilling that continues to return high-grade lithium results. The company expects to update its mineral resource in the coming months and has begun work on its first pre-feasibility study, being conducted with engineering firm Fluor, with results targeted toward the end of the year. #proactiveinvestors #pdac2026 #SurgeBatteryMetals #tsxv #nili #otcqx #nilif #Lithium#CriticalMinerals #BatteryMetals #NevadaMining #EnergyTransition #EVSupplyChain #MiningStocks #LithiumStocks

Full audio of the Supreme Court oral argument in Hencely v. Fluor Corp (No. 24-924), argued November 3, 2025. In this case, an Army specialist injured in a Bagram Airfield bombing sues defense contractor Fluor, and the Justices probe whether "uniquely federal interests" and the FTCA's combatant activities exception can preempt state tort claims against military contractors—even when the contractor allegedly breached its contract and violated military orders. The argument goes to the core of contractor immunity, battlefield accountability, and who pays the price when private companies help wage war.

Civil Procedure: Does the Federal Tort Claims Act preempt state tort claims against a military contractor for conduct that breached its contract and violated military orders? - Argued: Mon, 03 Nov 2025 18:10:56 EDT

A case in which the Court will decide whether federal contractors enjoy immunity from state-law tort suits because they are integrated into combat operations, even when they violate military orders and contractual duties.

Hencely v. Fluor Corp. | 11/03/25 | Docket #: 24-924 24-924 HENCELY V. FLUOR CORP. DECISION BELOW: 120 F.4th 412 CERT. GRANTED 6/2/2025 QUESTION PRESENTED: Former U.S. Army Specialist Winston T. Hencely was critically and permanently injured by a suicide bomber inside Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan. The bomber, Ahmad Nayeb, worked on base for a government contractor. An Army investigation found that the attack's primary contributing factor was the contractor's actions in breach of its Army contract and in violation of the military's instructions to supervise Nayeb. Hencely sued the government contractor for negligence under South Carolina law. He did not sue the military under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Even so, the Fourth Circuit held that Hencely's state claims are preempted by unspoken "federal interests" emanating from an FTCA exception. Invoking Boyle v. United Technologies Corp. , 487 U.S. 500 (1988), the court of appeals held that the FTCA's exception immunizing the government for "[a]ny claim arising out of the combatant activities of the military or naval forces ... during time of war," 28 U.S.C. §2680(j), barred Hencely's South Carolina claims against the contractor . The decision below reaffirmed a 3-1-1 split among the Second, Third, Fourth, Ninth and D.C. Circuits over Boyle 's reach when contractors defend against state tort claims by invoking §2680(j). The question presented is: Should Boyle be extended to allow federal interests emanating from the FTCA's combatant-activities exception to preempt state tort claims against a government contractor for conduct that breached its contract and violated military orders? LOWER COURT CASE NUMBER: 21-1994

The Supreme Court will hear Hencely v. Fluor on November 3, revisiting a decades-old precedent that shields contractors from state-law claims tied to military operations. Here to explain how the combatant activities exception works, and why this case could reshape risk and accountability for contractors in conflict zones is Lisa Himes of counsel with Rogers Joseph O'Donnell.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ronald Stein is a professional engineer, energy literacy advocate, and the Pulitzer Prize-nominated co-author of Clean Energy Exploitations. With decades of experience designing and building refineries for major corporations like Bechtel and Fluor, Ron possesses a deep, nuanced understanding of the energy sector. Thirty years ago, he and his wife, June, founded PTS Advance, a staffing and workforce solutions firm specializing in complex industries like energy and life sciences. After successfully growing the company, they transitioned ownership to their two sons 15 years ago. Now, Ron dedicates his time to educating policymakers, business leaders, and the public, serving as a columnist for America Out Loud News and an advisor to the Heartland Institute on energy policy.SHOW SUMMARYIn this eye-opening episode of the Disruptive Successor Podcast, host Jonathan Goldhill sits down with Ronald Stein to challenge everything you think you know about energy. Ron explains the dangerous lack of "energy literacy" plaguing our leaders and policies. He draws a critical distinction: renewables like wind and solar only generate electricity, whereas fossil fuels are the foundation for the petrochemicals that create over 6,000 essential products, from iPhones and medical devices to the very components of EVs and solar panels. The conversation delves into the successful generational transition of Ron's family business, PTS Advance, and unpacks the severe economic and national security risks of misguided energy policies, revealing the hidden truths behind the global push for a "green" transition.KEY TAKEAWAYS Energy vs. Electricity: A Critical Misunderstanding: Ron clarifies that "energy" and "electricity" are not interchangeable. Wind and solar generate electricity, but they cannot create the physical products derived from the petrochemicals in fossil fuels that our modern world is built on.Everything is Made from Oil: Our materialistic society, including "green" technologies like EVs, wind turbines, and solar panels, is fundamentally dependent on the 6,000+ products derived from oil. Getting rid of oil means getting rid of the building blocks of modern life.A Family Business Success Story: Ron shares how he and his wife built PTS Advance from the ground up, successfully transitioned it to their sons, and strategically hired a non-family CEO, leading to massive growth and an eventual acquisition.The Perils of Poor Policy: California's push to eliminate in-state oil production has ironically made the state over 70% dependent on foreign oil imports, creating a significant national security risk and driving up costs for consumers.The Hidden Costs of EVs: Transitioning to electric vehicles eliminates the gas tax revenue that maintains roads, while the heavier weight of EVs causes more road damage, creating a future funding crisis.The Unethical Side of "Clean" Energy: Ron argues that mandating EVs financially incentivizes the exploitation of labor (including child labor) and environmental degradation in countries like China and in Africa, where the raw materials for batteries are mined.The Nuclear Resurgence: As a reliable, emissions-free, and continuous power source, nuclear energy is gaining worldwide momentum as a practical solution for our electricity needs, requiring far less land and materials than wind and solar.QUOTES "Wind and solar only generates electricity. They make no powers, no insulation, no asphalt, et cetera, et cetera. Whereas oil, all the products we have today didn't exist 200 years ago.""If you get rid of oil, you get rid of electricity, you get rid of EVs. The EV is a hundred percent made with oil.""Instead of being 5% dependent on foreign imports for crude oil, we're now more than 70% dependent... And that is a national security risk for America.""My passion is to stimulate conversations about energy literacy because most of our policy makers are misunderstanding the word energy.""I think it's unethical and immoral to provide those financial incentives for those countries to continue to [exploit people and the environment].""There's a worldwide movement toward nuclear 'cause we want affordable, reliable, continuous electricity, also emissions free electricity and nuclear is providing that."Connect and learn more about Ronald Stein and his work:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronaldstein/Email: ronald.stein@energyliteracy.netBook: Clean Energy Exploitations on AmazonCompany: PTS Advance: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pts-advance/If you enjoyed today's episode, please subscribe, review, and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.

«Einstein» ist hautnah dabei bei der Lauberhornabfahrt. Wie macht das Forschungs-Team von Swiss-Ski die Rennfahrer schneller? Wie mixt es exklusiv für die Schweizer das Skiwachs? Und wie macht es den Rennsport mit KI sicherer? Der exklusive Blick hinter die Kulissen. In der Kommandozentrale Schnell Skifahren wie Marco Odermatt ist alles eine Frage des Talents? Nicht nur! Hinter den Erfolgen von Odermatt und Co. steht neben vielen Betreuern auch ein Team von Forschern. Bei jedem Weltcuprennen betreiben diese ein «Command Center», ein Kommandozentrum. Da wird bei den Trainings und sogar zwischen den Läufen jeder Schwung analysiert, jede Gleitstrecke in Zahlen gefasst. Über eine Bildschirmwand flimmern Videos und Zahlen, die das Forschungsteam zusammenfasst und innert wenigen Minuten an Fahrer und Trainer weitergibt. «Einstein» sitzt in Wengen im Command Center. In der Wachsküche Es wird bereits gemunkelt, die Schweizer hätten ein neues Wunderwachs. Noch bevor sich das Starttor eines Rennens öffnet, hat Udo Rauniak bereits einen wichtigen Beitrag zu Topresultaten geleistet. Auf die Ski der Schweizer kommt nicht Wachs einer grossen Wachsfirma, sondern das von Rauniak exklusiv für Swiss Ski gemixte. Auslöser war das Verbot des krebserregenden Fluors im Wachs. Rauniak verrät: «Silikon ist das neue Fluor». In der künstlichen Realität Es ist eine Premiere am Lauberhorn. Forscher der Fachhochschule Yverdon vermessen für Swiss-Ski die Lauberhornstrecke zentimetergenau. Über das digitalisierte Streckenmodell lässt dann ein Mathematiker eine künstliche Intelligenz über eine Million Mal fahren. Die schnellste Linie können sich die Athleten in Zukunft mit der VR-Brille ansehen, also in der virtuellen Realität. Das soll nicht nur ein Beitrag zu schnelleren, sondern auch sichereren Fahrten liefern. «Einstein»-Moderator Tobias Müller darf die Jungfernfahrt machen. Im Schmerzkeller Pain Cave, Schmerzkeller, so nennen Athletinnen und Athleten den Kraftraum auch. Hier werden Grundlagen für Erfolge erarbeitet, aber auch für die Gesundheit der Fahrer. Der Forschungskoordinator von Swiss-Ski, Björn Bruhin, hat derart viele Daten gesammelt, dass er sagen kann, ob Athleten genug fit sind für eine Strecke oder ob körperliche Defizite die Fahrt zu gefährlich machen. Wie schlägt sich Tobias Müller im Vergleich zu Odermatt und Co.? Am Hundschopf Tobias Müller wagt sich auf die Lauberhornstrecke. «Alles viel enger als auf den TV-Bildern», ist sein erster Eindruck. Und dann kommen die Eispassagen. Müller kann kaum noch steuern. Im Haneggschuss ist es griffiger, er lässt es laufen. 107 km/h zeigt seine GPS-Messung. Respektabel, aber noch immer 55 km/h langsamer als die schnellsten Rennfahrer.

Quick heads up. I have made some video versions of recent articles. Here they are, in case you are a watcher rather than a reader:I don't know about you, but I use artificial intelligence (AI) all the time. ChatGPT has become my right-hand man. It gives me advice (really – and good advice too), it helps me make decisions, it gives me exercise workouts, recipes, it proofreads what I write, it helps me write titles, it even helps me write song lyrics. Midjourney does all the imaging for this newsletter. Even a simple Google search now involves lots of AI.I know I'm not alone. Almost everyone is using AI, consciously or not.Guess what? AI requires bucket loads of power. That's why Microsoft recently agreed to pay Constellation Energy, the new owner of America's infamous nuclear power station, Three Mile Island, a sizeable premium for its energy. There is cheaper wind and solar power to be had in Pennsylvania, but it isn't as reliable as nuclear, 24 hours a day.It's not just AI. The widespread political desire to rid ourselves of fossil fuels means the world needs electricity, and fast.Nuclear is the solution, of course. But nuclear takes a lot of time, even with AI now “re-routing” the anti-nuclear narrative. It takes especially long in the UK where any kind of infrastructure project requires billions to be spent on planners, lawyers and consultants before a brick is even lifted.It's so stupid of course. Nuclear power stations have been operating commercially for 70 years, providing reliable, affordable, and almost infinitely renewable “clean” electricity. Nuclear has the best safety record of any energy technology. Almost all environmental concerns, such as waste disposal, have been solved. But if you want to know the name of the point at which stupidity, hypocrisy, waste and weakness meet, it's called British Energy Policy.Layer upon layer of safety is demanded in nuclear plant design. The regulatory process is slow, cumbersome, and complex. There is a long lead time between planning, building, and operation, which adds to expense. Political uncertainty meant many proposals for nuclear power stations in the UK were shelved. It all drives away investment.But governments around the world are waking up to the fact that the silver bullet is nuclear-powered. Thus, the narrative is changing. The dawn of the new age of nuclear power is upon us, and it can't come quickly enough.That's why the focus has shifted to small modular reactors (SMRs). These have been operational for almost 70 years now in submarines, aircraft carriers, and ice-breakers, but in the last few years, land-based SMRs have been developed to generate electricity.They use simple, proven technology, and are safer than current nuclear power stations. They can be manufactured in factories and then rapidly erected on-site. Modular refers to the design principle of breaking down a system into small, independent, and interchangeable components, or “modules”, that can easily be combined, modified, or replaced without affecting the rest of the system. This flexibility means they are scalable. It aids manufacture, transportation, and installation while reducing construction time and costs.SMRs don't occupy much land, so they have little impact on the landscape. Some can even be constructed underground – surely preferable to wind turbines and solar farms. In the UK, they could be erected on the redundant sites of closed nuclear and coal-fired power stations, where grid connections are readily available. A 440 megawatt (MW) SMR would produce about 3.5 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity per year, enough for 1.2 million homes – or to provide power to Wales, the Northeast of England, or two Devons. It would require about 25 acres of land. A solar farm would need 13,000 acres for the same output; a wind farm, 32,000 acres. Three 440MW SMRs would be enough for London, which has around 3.6 million homes.What's more, their output is not dependent on the weather. Reliability is why Microsoft paid a premium of more than 85% for Three Mile Island's power. SMRs produce electricity that can easily be adjusted to meet the constant, everyday needs of the grid (baseload), and they can also ramp up or down to follow changes in demand throughout the day. They spin in sync with the grid, so they help keep everything stable. When they're running, they act like a steady hand, providing momentum that makes it easier to manage sudden changes in electricity supply or demand.Why not subscribe to this amazing publication?How To InvestThere are all sorts of ways to invest in nuclear power. The simplest and least risky is to buy the metal itself. Current demand for uranium stands at around 200 million pounds per year, while mining output totals only 140 million pounds. Another 25 million pounds comes from secondary sources, such as scrap and recycling. So there is a uranium supply deficit. I'm surprised the price isn't higher. London-listed Yellowcake (LSE:YCA) has been set up with this purpose in mind. It is, essentially, a uranium holding company. You buy the shares, and thus own a share of the uranium it holds. It makes up part of the Dolce Far Niente portfolio.You could also buy uranium miners, though I have to say I do not like the miners at all. There are the large producers, such as Cameco (Toronto: CCO) and Paladin Energy (Sydney: PDN). You can also gain exposure via large caps, such as Rio Tinto (LSE: RIO), but they are not pure plays. There are mine developers too, such as NexGen Energy (Toronto: NXE), whose Rook 1 project should be producing a whopping 30 million pounds a year by 2030, almost enough to solve the uranium supply deficit single-handedly.If you don't fancy your stock-picking skills, go for a fund instead. The London-listed Sprott Uranium Miners ETF (LSE: URNP) is an exchange-traded fund that gives you exposure to a basket of mining companies, as does closed-end fund Geiger Counter (LSE: GCL). Another popular ETF is the Global X Uranium UCITS ETF (LSE: URNU).Why don't I like uranium miners? About 90% of those listed in the funds do not have any production coming in the near future and are, therefore, huge vortexes into which capital will disappear. At present, they are fully valued. That's not saying they won't go up. But when the time comes for them to fall, they will bomb.When I last looked at SMRs in 2021, the companies I tipped were Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR) and Fluor Corp (NYSE: FLR). Both have been real winners. Rolls-Royce has built seven generations of SMRs for use in nuclear submarines and, with its modern designs for SMRs, has been winning contracts all over. Rolls-Royce is not a pure SMR play. But it has put its SMR business into a separate entity (Rolls-Royce SMR) and I presume this will be spun out and listed at some later stage.The stock has been going great guns under its new CEO, Tufan Erginbilgiç. I tipped it around the 100p mark and it's now at 530p and there's no stopping it. It was 1,350p in 2013, so there's plenty of upside left, and that was before there was any urgency about SMRs. I've taken my original stake off the table, and the rest I'm holding.I also mentioned NuScale, a US outfit, which in 2021 was unfortunately still private. There was a way to get exposure to NuScale, however: via majority shareholder and engineering company Fluor Corp. It has been a real winner too. We tipped it at $18. It's now $50. The stock remains a hold, although it is not a pure play. Worth $8.6bn, Fluor has $200m of free cash flow and trades at 42 times earnings.But the company we were looking at, NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR), has now listed – good ticker – and you can buy the stock at not far off the flotation price. Be warned, however: this is a volatile company. Since its initial public offering (IPO) at $10, the stock has been as high as $15 and as low as $2. It is now at $13.NuScale designs, develops, and commercialises SMR reactors for nuclear-power generation, aiming to provide a “safe, flexible, and scalable nuclear-energy solution”. Its flagship product is the NuScale Power Module, a self-contained pressurised water reactor (PWR) that is far smaller than traditional nuclear reactors. Each module has an electric capacity of about 60 megawatts, but they can combine to scale up.NuScale has partnered with various organisations, including the US Department of Energy (DOE) and global energy firms, but it does not yet have a solid sales pipeline, so it is hard to value. Instead, it's a bit of a meme stock that rises and falls when it gets tipped. NuScale has a market capitalisation of $1.2bn and revenues of $23m; it lost $273m last year. It now has $180m in negative free cash flow, $130m in cash and a burn rate of about $35m per quarter. (So it's got enough money for another year.) Caveat emptor.Another option is BWX Technologies (NYSE: BWXT), but again it's not a pure SMR play, more of a picks-and-shovels play. The company manufactures nuclear-reactor components, systems fuel, and other critical parts for the nuclear-power industry. It really is wide-ranging (think anything from naval nuclear propulsion to nuclear defence) and its history goes all the way back to the Manhattan Project.SMR developers will often rely on BWX's expertise and manufacturing capabilities to ensure the safety and functionality of their designs. As demand for SMRs grows, so will the appetite for BWX's products and services. BWX has a market value of $10bn and $1.2bn in debt. Earnings per share are just shy of $3, and the price/earnings (p/e) ratio is close to 40. But it is profitable and pays a yield just below 1%.If you want to go really small and speculative, there is always the mining exploration option (not recommended), or uranium enrichment firms. If this technology of enriching uranium to make it more powerful comes good, then the efficiencies of the industry will improve even further, and the problem of uranium supply deficits will quickly vanish, along with the high prices of many uranium miners. Silex Systems (Sydney: SLX) – market cap A$1.1bn (£565m), 50% owned by Cameco – is the market leader here, although Centrus Energy (NYSE: LEU), worth $1bn, is not far behind.We are still some years from successful enrichment, but it is coming. I doubt we will see it before the uranium price itself breaks to new highs above $140/lb, which it hit in 2006, and probably not until $200 uranium. High prices have a habit of accelerating everything. Uranium is now at $70/lb.That's when tiny-cap nuclear-fuel tech firms such as Lightbridge (Nasdaq: LTBR), worth $46m, could rocket. Lightbridge, looking to improve the safety, economics, and proliferation resistance of nuclear power, is developing a fuel that operates about 1,000 degrees cooler than standard fuel. It's got $27m in the bank, is losing $10m a year and, like NuScale, seems to rely on memes and tipsters. The stock costs $3 so there is plenty of upside. But be warned: this is an illiquid Nasdaq stock. Don't chase it.Amazing chart. From $4,000 - to $2. Talk about wealth destruction. It's like an NHS IT project.

Here are the key points from Jay's conversation on Industrial Talk: Digital Projects is a software platform that digitizes the entire lifecycle of a project, from planning to handover. The platform uses the latest cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and generative pre-trained transformer models, to automate many of the tasks involved in a project, such as clash management, data collisions, and issue management. This can lead to significant reductions in project schedules, costs, and risks. The platform is also able to handle legacy documents and information, making it a valuable tool for brownfield projects. Digital Projects can help to reduce project schedules by up to 25-30%. The platform can automate many of the tasks involved in a project, freeing up engineers to focus on more strategic work. Digital Projects is able to handle legacy documents and information, making it a valuable tool for brownfield projects. The platform is designed to be integrated with other systems, such as ERP and PLM systems. Digital Projects is being used by a number of leading engineering firms, including Jacobs, Fluor, and Bechtel. The platform is still under development, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way that projects are managed. Hexagon is developing a new technology called Smart Digital Reality (SDR) that will help to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of engineering projects. SDR will do this by digitizing all of the information related to a project, including 2D and 3D drawings, vendor information, and procedures. This information will be stored in a central repository where it can be easily accessed and shared by all project stakeholders. SDR will also automate many of the tasks involved in engineering projects, such as clash detection and issue management. This will free up engineers to focus on more strategic work and help to reduce the time and cost of projects. Here are some key points from the conversation: SDR is a new technology that is still under development. However, Hexagon is already working with some of the world's largest engineering companies to test and refine the technology. SDR has the potential to revolutionize the way that engineering projects are managed. It could help to reduce the time and cost of projects, improve accuracy, and increase collaboration. SDR can be used for both greenfield and brownfield projects. It can also be used to improve the efficiency of turnarounds and other maintenance activities. SDR is compatible with a wide range of existing engineering software systems.Hexagon is committed to making SDR as easy to use as possible. Overall, Digital Projects is a powerful platform that can help to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and profitability of projects.  This technology has the potential to make a significant impact on the engineering industry, and it is worth watching as it continues to develop.
