AI has seemingly taken over our lives in so many ways. Personally, I've seen a huge shift in the writing and journalism field for both staff and freelance writers. But one thing we often don't see is the energy being funnelled to AI data centers from our already stressed electrical grid. And it's not just a little bit of energy either– The 2024 US Data Center Energy Usage Report found that after a period of stagnation from 2014-2016, center energy demand grew, in part, due to expanded efforts to digitize data across economic sectors. And according to the International Energy Agency, data center energy use increased roughly 4% between 2018 and 2023. And by 2030, U.S. data center consumption is projected to grow by 133%.This rapid growth begs the question: Are we ready for the AI energy surge?To help explain how and why AI uses so much energy and what communities can do to prepare for increased energy demand, I'm joined by Dr. Naeem Turner. Dr. Naeem Turner-Bandele is an engineer, entrepreneur, and CEO of Latimer Enterprises, an energy technology and services company focused on helping individuals, businesses, and communities take control of how they power their world through practical, affordable energy solutions. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and an MBA from NYU Stern, and has spent the past decade developing tools, policies, and planning frameworks that support energy affordability, grid reliability, and resilient energy systems across the United States.Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalistBuy Me a Coffee: ⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/outdoorminimalist⁠⁠⁠Listener Survey: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/jd8UCN2LL3AQst976⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠------------------Dr. Naeem TurnerLatimer Enterprises: ⁠https://www.latimerent.com/team/naeem-turner-bandele⁠LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/latimer-enterprises/Email: hello@latimerent.comSources:https://www.iea.org/commentaries/what-the-data-centre-and-ai-boom-could-mean-for-the-energy-sector⁠ ⁠https://www.belfercenter.org/research-analysis/ai-data-centers-us-electric-grid⁠ 

New analysis from Wood Mackenzie shows that 220 gigawatts of additional power demand from data centers is in the pipeline in the US, and 183 GW of that is already backed by firm commercial commitments. That is a huge amount to add in just a few years: it's equal to about 22% of US peak demand in 2025. The big question is whether the US electricity industry going to be able to meet that additional demand. And if so, how?On the second day of ACORE's 2026 Policy Forum in Washington, host Ed Crooks talks to industry leaders and experts about the answers to those questions. First he talks to Wood Mackenzie's Anna Shpitsberg, who is global head of power and renewables research. She breaks down the numbers on electricity demand from new data centers, and discusses some of the implications for the industry.Next up is someone whose role is right at the heart of the data center boom. Arthur Haubenstock is senior counsel at Equinix, which is one of the world's largest developers, owners and operators. He talks about what data centers actually need in terms of electricity supply, and gives his perspective on some of the controversies currently raging around the industry.A key issue for him is how data center developers can benefit local communities by cutting their electricity bills and strengthening the stability of the grid. He talks about the reality behind popular ideas such as BYOP (bring your own power) and BYONCE (bring your own new clean energy). And he explains why data centers often cannot be flexible loads on the grid, the constraints on backup generation, and why power grids matter.Ray Long, President and CEO of ACORE, then joins the show to talk about his key takeaways from the event. He says the AI-driven data center boom is creating great opportunities for all kinds of energy, including renewables and other low-carbon technologies. But progress is being slowed by three critical challenges: permitting delays, trade policy uncertainty, and regulatory bottlenecks.With electricity demand surging, he says, tackling those policy barriers is essential. Governments and the power industry need to find ways to stop electricity bills soaring and the grid becoming unstable, while enabling the infrastructure buildout required for AI. Finally, Ed talks to three entrepreneurs who are leading startup companies that aim to build the energy industry of the future. Kimberly Johnston of NextGen Energy, Saxon Metzger of Polaris Ecosystems, and Ebony Seymour of Ellement Group, explain the problems in energy that they are taking on, and talk about what they need to accelerate their growth.This episode is brought to you by ACORE, the nonpartisan nonprofit organization uniquely operating at the intersection of energy affordability, reliability, and clean energy deployment.

Is SEO dead? Not even close.In part 3 of this Crystal Squared episode of The Simple & Smart SEO Show, Crystal Waddell sits down with Crystal Ortiz to unpack what's really happening in the world of AI-powered search.AND SPOILER: SEO is actually in a strong position right now.They dive into how to define success beyond traffic metrics, how to use AI without wasting hours going down a rabbit hole, and why business goals [not shiny tools] should drive your SEO strategy. From product page optimization to redefining KPIs in an AI-heavy world, this episode is a practical and refreshing take on what modern SEO really looks like.Key Takeaways1. SEO Is Not Dead — It's ShiftingThe myth that “SEO is dead” needs to go. Search is becoming more AI-heavy, but the need to understand user intent, answer questions, and drive revenue hasn't changed.2. Stop Defining Success by Traffic AloneTraffic is no longer the main KPI. Revenue impact, conversion shifts, and overall business growth are better indicators of SEO success.3. Start With Business Goals, Not AI ToolsBefore using AI, clarify your objective. Are you increasing product page conversions? Growing SEO-attributed revenue by 20%? Your inputs should roll up to that goal.4. Use AI With RestraintAI can save five minutes — or waste three hours. Create a clear plan, stay in your lane, and use AI tactically instead of chasing every suggested output.5.

This episode of the Free Thought Project podcast brings together two of the most essential voices in the alternative media landscape, Gavin Nascimento and Derrick Broze. Hosts Matt Agorist, Jason Bassler, and Don Via, Jr. sit down with these two researchers to explore the deep systemic rot and the technocratic future currently being built around us. The conversation begins by exploring the strikingly similar paths both guests have walked in their journey toward truth before diving into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and its intricate ties to the modern technocracy and figures like Peter Thiel. We examine the stunning arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) on his 66th birthday, questioning whether this represents genuine accountability or a strategic "limited hangout." The discussion suggests this could be a calculated "software update" for the elite, where the old-school reliance on sexual blackmail is replaced by a high-tech infrastructure of total surveillance, where data centers and personal devices provide all the leverage necessary to maintain control. The dialogue shifts into the darker philosophical roots of this transition, exploring the "Dark Enlightenment" and its influence on both the modern technocracy and the current political landscape, including the ties to Curtis Yarvin. We pull back the curtain on Elon Musk's complex history and his specific role within the technocratic state, moving then into a deep historical analysis of the eugenics movement and how those same ideologies have been rebranded for the 21st century. The episode also touches on the occult history of these power structures and the pervasive culture of abuse that defines them. We further discuss the psychological campaign of "learned helplessness" being waged against the public, where a constant stream of corruption is exposed without any resulting accountability, potentially conditioning the masses to accept their own subjugation. Finally, we look at the push for transhumanism through a libertarian lens, weighing the concept of individual choice against the broader implications of merging with a technology controlled by those who have proven themselves untrustworthy. We close the show with our "White Pill" segment, focusing on the practical, solutions-based efforts being made to build a parallel world. (Length: 1:47:17) Click Here to Support TFTP.

We're talking Tron: Ares in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The film came and went in theaters, but Disney is hoping that it'll find a happy, second live on streaming. After watching it, the two Mikes have their doubts. But hey, the soundtrack is awesome...

There were so many great clues and answers in today's puzzle, it's amazing that John Ewbank managed to wrestle them all into a 15x15 grid, but somehow he did. We appreciated the altruism and surely deliberate parallels between 64A, Volunteer's words, ICAN and 45D, "I'm at your disposal", USEME. We also liked the somewhat related onomatopoeia of 25A, Sound of disapproval, HISS and 59D, "Over here!", PSST. Of course, the best part of the crossword was the theme, and to hear all about that, check out today's episode.Show note imagery: Laila ALI, undefeated professional boxer and now host of Home Made Simple, which presumably involves a lot less punching people

GridBeyond CEO Michael Phelan on how industrial loads and data centres are being orchestrated by AI and batteries to unlock gigawatts of hidden flexibility for the grid.

Ken does difficult things and in this conversation he shares his WHY and his HOW. But you don't have to climb mountains barefoot or run ultra -marathons in tough terrain to realize your place in our world. This fun, lively and in depth conversation is ultimately about being human, doing our part to keep our inner fire robust so we can bring more positive actions into our world.

For decades, the physical equipment underpinning the electric grid has remained largely unchanged: passive, "dumb" devices installed as far back as the 1970s that lack much real-time control. But today, in the face of skyrocketing energy demand, a new class of technologies has emerged. In this episode, Drew Baglino, the founder and CEO of Heron Power, returns to the show to discuss his company's new generation of solid-state transformers, or SSTs. After a 17-year career at Tesla — where he led energy and powertrain development — Drew is now focused on replacing the grid's aging infrastructure with these advanced power electronics. Shayle and Drew take a deep dive into the history of the power transistor, and then explore how the SST has the potential to transform the grid into a highly optimized and intelligent machine. They cover topics like: The evolution of power electronics Why we still haven't fixed the transformer shortage How Heron Power's SSTs remove legacy transformers and switches to create a substantial uplift for project developers The potential to remove 70% of traditional electrical equipment at data centers by distributing power directly to the rack Why Drew thinks SSTs offer a "pathway toward affordability" Resources Catalyst: Drew Baglino on Tesla's master plan Latitude Media: Inside Heron Power's plan to transform the grid Catalyst: Understanding the electric transformer shortage Open Circuit: The grid resilience dilemma Latitude Media: These Autogrid alums want to change how data centers use power Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

On this edition of the Energy News Beat Stand Up, we cover some great stories, and at the top of the list is that Coal saved the grid and lives during Winter Storm Fern. But it raises a bigger question: we need to reprice electricity in the United States so wind and solar pay their fair share for grid resilience. We also have to ask the question. Can the "Board of Peace Replace the UN?" I, for one, would like to be 100% out of the UN, says Stu. **1. Coal's Critical Role in Grid Stability**The discussion emphasizes how coal power was essential during Winter Storm Fern, delivering 20 times more electricity than solar and batteries during peak demand. This highlights coal's irreplaceable value as a reliable backup during extreme weather emergencies.**2. U.S. Electricity Market Pricing & Dispatch Issues**The transcript critiques the current system for prioritizing renewable energy based solely on low marginal costs, while ignoring intermittency and backup needs. There's an argument for a more balanced approach that factors in full life-cycle costs and resilience considerations.**3. UN Replacement with a "Board of Peace"**A discussion about potentially replacing the United Nations with a more streamlined alternative organization, citing concerns about the UN's effectiveness and funding costs, with implications for U.S. involvement.**4. California's Energy Crisis**The conversation addresses California's energy challenges attributed to Governor Newsom's policies, and explores potential solutions like the Western Gateway Pipeline project to reduce the state's energy import dependency.**5. U.S. Withdrawal Threat from the International Energy Agency (IEA)**The transcript covers the Secretary of Energy's threat to withdraw from the IEA, criticizing it for prioritizing climate advocacy over energy security and suggesting this could reshape global energy policy.**6. Energy Company Financial Performance**Analysis of earnings, production guidance, and stock performance for major energy companies, including EQT, Liberty Energy, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and Kinder Morgan.1.Coal Kept the Grid Alive During Winter Storm Fern2.Can the Board of Peace Fully Replace the UN?3.California's National Security Crisis Has a Solution4.U.S. Threatens to Quit IEA Over Green Energy Advocacy5.EQT Expecting $1B Windfall on Winter Storm Gas Price Rally6.EIA: US Crude Inventories Drawn Down as Demand Increases7.Newsom Cutting Clean Energy Deals with the U.K. Sparks Comments from President TrumpWe are ranked #1 in the US for Energy Podcasts and #4 globally. https://www.millionpodcasts.com/energy-podcasts/Check out the Energy News Beat Substack: https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.Check out The Energy News Beat Website: https://energynewsbeat.co/Questions on Investing in Oil: https://sandstoneassetmgmt.com/invest-in-oil-and-gas/

Send me a messageAI's energy demand isn't a future problem. It's straining grids today. And most companies aren't ready.In this episode, I'm joined by Beatrice Clark, Vice President of Sustainability and Social Impact at Turtle and Hughes, a North American electrical distributor and systems integrator working at the sharp edge of the energy transition. We unpack what surging AI and data centre growth means for infrastructure, resilience, and real-world decarbonisation - not in theory, but on the ground.You'll hear why energy demand from AI is now “on the tip of everybody's tongue”, and how utilities and independent producers are scrambling to keep up. We dig into the tension between diesel reliability and microgrid ambition, and why hybrid redundancy may be the uncomfortable truth of the transition. You might be surprised to learn how fleet electrification looks when you're moving heavy loads across unpredictable routes. It's not ideology. It's maths, logistics, and physics.We also explore double materiality, Scope 3 collaboration, and why sustainability only works when it strengthens operational performance. Net zero isn't achieved in PowerPoint. It's delivered through infrastructure, policy, and accountability across the value chain.If you care about climate tech, grid transformation, emissions reduction, and what decarbonisation actually looks like inside energy-intensive businesses, this conversation cuts through the noise.Listen now to hear how Beatrice Clark and Turtle and Hughes are navigating the hard realities of the energy transition.Podcast subscribersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing subscribers: Anita Krajnc Cecilia Skarupa Ben Gross Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Subscribe to the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one, as well as give you access to the entire back catalog of Climate Confident episodes.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Q90 ladies Katie and Mary take a look at a trending topic: Ultra-processed foods (UPFs). With the rise in both colon cancer and dementia among people far too young to worry about such things, fingers are being pointed at our chemical-riddled foods. Not just fast foods but anything in a package. Processed foods, those can be minimally processed with the addition of just water and salt, for instance. Canned veggies, tuna, that sort of thing. But UPFs, those have become way more prevalent on our shelves and have wreaked havoc on our health around the world. We have stopped reading labels it seems, because UPFs are associated with over 30 different chronic health conditions. What are some of the ingredients in UPFs? Seed oils, chemical names we cannot pronounce, sweeteners, salt, emulsifiers, thickeners, “flavor” and “color” enhancers – all that and more are causing inflammation and obesity in astonishing numbers. As wives and moms, we understand our unique placement in the home to see to it that our pregnancies, our kiddos, ourselves, and our mates are as healthy as possible, an important calling. We look at ways we can all save money at the store, the doc office – and the pharmacy. Get off the food grid.

In Episode 59 of The Current Buzz, Brianna and Daniel are joined by Tim Ferree (OEC Key Accounts & Advocacy Specialist) and Kylah McNabb of Vesta Strategic Solutions to break down the growing conversation around data centers in Oklahoma. They explain what data centers are (essentially buildings full of computers powering AI and cloud services), why Oklahoma is attracting them—thanks to low electric rates, strong grid reliability, natural gas availability, and participation in the Southwest Power Pool—and what their large energy use really means for local communities.Most importantly, the episode addresses member concerns: data centers pay for their own infrastructure, operate under strict engineering and regulatory review, and often run on interruptible rates that can actually help stabilize the grid during peak demand. The conversation highlights how OEC protects its members while responsibly managing growth and new opportunities in the energy landscape.Subscribe to The Current Buzz to be the first to hear more in-depth conversations like this.

Five years ago, Winter Storm Uri took out the lights across the Lone Star State. Hundreds of people died, millions of Texans were left without heat, and it cost the state billions. What's changed since then? Plus, new payroll numbers are higher than expected, and unemployment is slightly down, but revisions to last year's totals complicate the story. And later, we check out what one of the country's most environmentally friendly homes looks like 18 years later.

It's the hottest sector in the global energy industry right now, driven by rising power demand, the need to back up variable renewable generation, and escalating threats to grid resilience. It is of course, battery storage. Host Ed Crooks and regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe speak with Julian Nebreda, CEO of energy storage systems company Fluence, about why batteries are becoming essential grid infrastructure. At peak hours during the bitterly cold weather that has covered much of North America in recent weeks, batteries accounted for about 1% of US power supply. But even a relatively small share of battery capacity can play an outsized role in preventing outages, Julian says. He argues that batteries are best understood not as replacements for fossil fuels, but as system optimizers: delivering fast-response capacity, stabilizing grids, and allowing generation assets to run more efficiently. With Amy and Ed, he addresses some of the common myths around batteries' cold-weather performance, multi-peak demand days and reliability compared with traditional generation.The gang explores the next wave of demand growth for batteries, particularly from new data centres for AI. Julian points to “speed to power” as a major new driver for storage deployment, as the hyperscalers and other tech companie try to bring new data centre capacity online as quickly as they can. There discussion also covers the geopolitical significance of storage, the attempt to build a battery supply chain in the US, the strngths of distributed versus centralised system designs, and examples of operations from Texas to Ukraine. As Amy notes, the industry is still catching up to the full potential of storage, but the potential is enormous.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
