US data centre announcements are averaging 435MW a month, and there's around 175GW of large-load capacity already committed or under construction. AI hyperscalers are looking for innovative ways to meet their energy demands. It's one of the biggest infrastructure challenges in energy right now: how to deliver reliable, fast power without derailing climate and decarbonisation goals. Joining interim host Bridget van Dorsten is Akhil Batheja, Director of Technology Strategy at Bloom Energy, to unpack why fuel cells have moved from “interesting clean technology” to the epicentre of the data-centre power conversation - and what that shift means for utilities, energy projects, and energy policy.Together they discuss how solid oxide fuel cells differ from turbines, engines and batteries - from efficiency and permitting advantages to “Lego block” scalability - and why “time to power” is becoming the defining metric for data center owners. Bridget and Akhil explore grid resilience and the realities of operating off-grid campuses, how fuel cells can handle spiky AI workloads using supercapacitors, and why a future high-voltage DC architecture could reshape data-centre efficiency. Finally, they look at pathways to cleaner fuels, including hydrogen, renewable energy-linked fuels like biogas/RNG, and carbon capture, plus the role of energy finance and green finance in accelerating climate change solutions across the energy transition.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
問:根據洛伊研究所(Lowy Institute)的亞洲權力指數,目前的亞洲權力格局呈現什麼狀態?答:亞洲地區目前只有兩個「超級大國」(Superpowers),分別是排名第一的美國(80.5分)和排名第二的中國(73.7分)。印度雖然得分剛好達到40分,被歸類為「主要力量」(Major Power),但其影響力主要體現在龐大的人口基數及海外移民社群(如加拿大、澳洲)的增長。日本與澳洲則屬於「中等權力」(Middle Power)國家,分別在區域內發揮關鍵的戰略與經濟影響力。問:為何日本在經歷「迷失三十年」後,其對亞洲的影響力依然不容忽視?答:日本雖然在90年代經歷泡沫爆破,但它比其他國家更早進入「後資本主義社會」模式,面對人口高齡化與金融體系調整。日本透過強大的軟實力(如動漫文化、諾貝爾獎科研成果)以及海外投資維持影響力。此外,日本企業具有極長的歷史與法人概念,展現出極強的文化適應力與融合能力,使其在經濟與文明發展水平上仍處於亞洲領先地位。問:澳洲與日本目前的戰略合作關係涵蓋哪些範疇? 答:兩國已超越單純的貿易夥伴關係,發展成為「特別戰略夥伴」。在國防方面,雙方進行F-35戰機部署輪換及參與聯合軍演;在外交上強調民主、人權與自由貿易的共同價值。在經濟層面,雙方正致力於建立穩定的供應鏈,特別是在能源轉型與關鍵礦物資源的開發上進行深度合作。問:為何日本在能源轉型上傾向依賴澳洲的液化天然氣(LNG)與氫能,而非全面轉向太陽能?答:受限於地理緯度與氣候(如降雪),日本發展太陽能的先天條件不足。同時,由於福島事故後對核能的卻步,日本必須尋求穩定的替代能源。澳洲擁有豐富的天然資源,能提供日本急需的液化天然氣作為過渡能源,並合作開發氫能供應鏈。這使得澳洲成為日本能源安全的重要保障。問:從環保與能源效率的角度來看,為何日本車廠(如豐田)主力發展混能車(Hybrid)而非純電動車(EV)?答:電動車的環保效益取決於電力的來源。在許多亞洲國家(如印尼),電力主要來自燃煤發電,使用電動車僅是將碳排放轉移至發電廠。加上日本地理環境對充電設施的限制及防災考量,發展混能車或氫燃料電池車(Fuel Cell)被視為更符合當地能源結構與實際效益的策略。問:冷戰2.0 的經濟特徵是什麼?這如何影響全球供應鏈?答:冷戰2.0 的特徵在於兩種截然不同的經濟作業模式並存:一方主張自由貿易、資金流動與創新風險承擔(以美國為首);另一方則強調低成本、大規模生產與效率(以中國為首)。這導致全球供應鏈不再單純依據比較優勢分配,而是涉及智慧財產權保護與價值鏈的重新整合,科技與資本的競爭日益集中於美中兩國。 This is a public episode.

Paul Herrold of the Sons of Speed sits in for Jill this week. Jill will be back for next week's show. Paul and Tom open the show by discussing consumer-battery maker Duracell's foray into electric-vehicle charging. Duracell branded car chargers are showing up now in the U.K., and are expected to arrive in the U.S. in the not-to-distant future. The hosts go on to discuss two big General Motors announcements. First, GM will be launching full level-3 semi-autonomous drive systems for the 2028 model year, beginning with the electric Cadillac Escalade IQ. An advancement of the maker's Super Cruise technology, the new system will permit drivers to look away from the road while engaged. Listen in for further details. GM also plans to drop Apple CarPlay from all its vehicles beginning in 2028. Jill is going to be angry. Still in the first segment, Paul talks about driving the high-performance McLaren GT on the race track. Paul also talks a little about the McLaren lineup and how the sports-car maker's U.S. offerings differ. In the second segment, Paul and Tom welcome Bart Sowa of GTI Energy to the show. Bart talks about fuel-cell technology, and how hydrogen-power is viable option for large over-the-road trucks. Bart also shares his thoughts on the future of hydrogen as a transportation fuel in the U.S. In the last segment, Bart joined Paul for this week's quiz. Can you guess the best-selling car in Alabama? Listen in to hear the “Best Sellers by State” quiz.
