Sehnat v Česku dostupné bydlení je dnes pro generaci Z téměř nemožné. Nájmy raketově rostou, tisíce domácností se potýká s energetickou chudobou a na dotace na úsporné renovace domů často dosáhnou jen ti nejbohatší.Jak může krizi bydlení řešit stát či obce? Jak moc je u nás rozšířená energetická chudoba a proč o ní prakticky vůbec nevíme? Co by mohlo změnit pravidla pro nájemní bydlení, aby byla spravedlivější? A proč v aktuálním nastavení dotace na zateplování a úsporné renovace často vyčerpají bohatší žadatelé, zatímco ti nejohroženější na ně nedosáhnou?O (ne)dostupnosti bydlení si povídáme s Kristinou Zindulkovou, analytičkou z Asociace pro mezinárodní otázky, a Dominikem Davidem, doktorandem z Masarykovy univerzity. Epizodou vás provedou Zuzana Augustová a Rebeka Hengalová z Institutu pro evropskou politiku EUROPEUM.Tato epizoda je závěrečná ze třídílné série o tom, jak zelené politiky proměňují různé oblasti našich životů.

As we gear up for Memorial Day weekend, the sizzling sound of grills is about to fill the air, and boy, do we have some juicy BBQ tips to share! First off, let's chat about the often neglected task of cleaning our grills. I mean, come on, it's been sitting there all winter, probably gathering more dust than a forgotten sock under the bed. I'm here to tell you that giving your grill a solid clean is not just a chore; it's a rite of passage into grilling season! We dive into some nifty tricks, like using aluminum foil to line the catch basin of your gas grill. Who knew that a simple kitchen staple could simplify your BBQ game? Plus, I share my secret weapon: digital meat thermometers. These handy gadgets are like the GPS for your meat; they help you navigate the tricky terrain of cooking times and temperatures. Let's face it, nobody wants to serve up a piece of chicken that could double as a hockey puck! But wait, it's not just about grilling! We also tackle a serious topic regarding a recall on Generac pressure washers. Yep, you heard that right! Those seemingly harmless machines can start on their own, and if you happen to leave them in your garage, well, let's just say that it could turn into a carbon monoxide nightmare. We're talking serious danger here, folks! I urge everyone to check if you own one of these bad boys and, if so, to stop using it and get it fixed. Safety first, right? So, as we prep for an epic BBQ weekend, remember to keep safety in mind alongside those delectable ribs and burgers!Takeaways:Memorial Day weekend is the perfect time to clean up your BBQ and get it ready for some serious grilling fun, but don't go overboard—just enough to make it shine!A digital meat thermometer is an absolute game-changer for barbecuing, ensuring perfectly cooked meats without the guesswork, because nobody wants to bite into a dry chicken breast!Generac's pressure washer recall is no joke; if you own one, stop using it immediately to avoid a serious carbon monoxide hazard lurking in your garage.If you're using a pellet grill, remember to keep those pellets dry and clean out the hopper—because a gummed-up grill is a sad grill!When firing up the BBQ, whether it's gas or charcoal, make sure it's clean to prevent grease fires, and always monitor the cooking to avoid any mishaps.If you're snagging a Blackstone grill, prepare for an afternoon of seasoning before you can jump into cooking—it's not a quick fix, but totally worth it!Companies mentioned in this episode:Generac Power SystemsDollar TreeBlackstoneWalmartTraegerZwilling J A HenckelsThanks for listening to Around the house if you want to hear more please subscribe so you get notified of the latest episode as it posts at https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/listenIf you want to join the Around the House Insider for access to the back catalog, Exclusive Content and a direct email to Eric G and access to the show early https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/support We love comments and we would love reviews on how this information has helped you on your house!

What would happen if your power went out for days… or longer? In this episode of Fix It Radio, host John Rush, joined by Larry Younger, dives into the reality of winter outages and what homeowners can do right now to be prepared. Are rolling blackouts the new normal? Do you really need a whole-home generator—or is there a smarter, more affordable way to keep the lights on? Listeners from across the country called in with real-world experiences. What happens when high winds knock out both power and water? Would a propane generator keep your home running? And if the grid goes down, will natural gas still flow when you need it most? Then, Jerzee Joe shares practical tips from years of generator ownership—annual maintenance, load management, and even why a simple UPS battery backup could save your computer (and your work) in a split second. John also breaks down options like portable generators, battery power stations such as Jackery, EV backup potential, and whole-home systems from brands like Generac—plus why maintenance and fresh fuel matter more than most people realize. What do you really need to run in an outage? Heat? Water? Refrigeration? Medical equipment? And how much power is enough? This fast-paced, real-life discussion challenges you to rethink preparedness, protect your home's value, and take control before the next storm hits. Are you ready when the grid goes down?

As artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes the data center landscape, power resiliency is being tested like never before. With enormous new facilities coming online and operators exploring alternatives to diesel, the backup power market is at an inflection point. In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, we sit down with Ricardo Navarro, Vice President of Global Solutions at Generac Power Systems, to discuss how the company is positioning itself as a major player in the data center ecosystem. Diesel Still Reigns — For Now Navarro begins by addressing the foundational question: why diesel remains the primary backup power choice for hyperscale and AI workloads. The answer, he explains, comes down to density, responsiveness, and reliability. Diesel engines respond instantly to the fluctuating loads that are common in AI training clusters, and fuel can be stored directly on-site. While natural gas is gaining traction as a bridging and utility-support solution, true redundancy requires dual pipelines — a level of infrastructure not yet common in data center deployments. That said, Navarro is clear that the story doesn't end with diesel. He sees a future where natural gas, paired with batteries, becomes a cost-effective and environmentally attractive option. Hybrid systems, combined with demand response and grid participation programs, could give operators new tools for balancing reliability and sustainability. “Natural gas might not be the right solution right now, but definitely it will be in the future,” Navarro notes. Scaling Fast to Meet Hyperscaler Demands The conversation also explores how hyperscalers are shaping requirements. With campuses needing hundreds of generators, customers are asking not just about product performance, but about scale, lead times, and support. Generac is addressing that demand by delivering open sets in as little as 30 to 35 weeks — about a third of the wait time from traditional OEMs. That speed-to-deployment advantage has driven significant new interest in Generac across the hyperscale sector. From Generators to Energy Technology Equally important is Generac's shift toward digital tools and predictive services. Over the past decade, the company has invested in acquisitions such as Deep Sea Electronics, Blue Pillar, and Off Grid Energy, expanding its expertise in controls, telemetry, and microgrid integration. Today, Generac is layering advanced sensors, machine learning, and AI-driven analytics onto its equipment fleet, enabling predictive failure detection, condition-based maintenance, and smarter load orchestration. This evolution, Navarro explains, represents Generac's transformation “from being just a generator manufacturer to being an energy technology company.” What's Next for Generac Looking ahead, the company is putting real capital behind its ambitions. Generac recently completed a $130 million facility in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, designed to expand production capacity and meet surging demand from data center customers. With firm domestic and international orders already in place, Navarro says the company is determined “to be in the driver's seat” as AI accelerates the need for scalable, resilient, and flexible backup power. For data center leaders, this episode provides a clear look into how backup power strategies are evolving — and how one of the industry's largest players is preparing for the next wave of energy and infrastructure challenges.

Navazují generace satiriků na sebe, nebo se vůči sobě vymezují? Rozumí navzájem svému humoru? Jaké jsou ikony generací a existují vůbec ještě nějaké? Je hlavním účelem satiry někoho naštvat?

Na začátku léta 1951 zatkla Státní bezpečnost (StB) Hanu Johnovou a jejího snoubence studenta Otakara Čeňka Trunce. Hana dostala 13 let a Otakar 15 let vězení za údajnou velezradu a špionáž. Vydávali a roznášeli po schránkách letáky vyzývající k občanské odvaze a pomáhali lidem utíkajícím přes hranice. Krátce před svatbou je kdosi udal, Hana se domnívá, že to byl někdo z pěveckého sboru. Po propuštění po devíti letech se milenci vzali. Děti už ale neměli.
