99% of registered fleets belong to small and mid-size businesses — but the EV industry wasn't built for them. High upfront costs, years-long waits for grid access, and charging solutions designed for large operators have left the backbone of the American economy behind.This week on Everybody in the Pool, we meet a founder who's changing that. Galina Russell, co-founder of Mitra EV, built a turnkey solution that bundles electric trucks and vans with charging infrastructure, so plumbers, electricians, and delivery companies can electrify their fleets without the logistical headache.We talk about:Why small commercial fleets are the most overlooked (and impactful) EV opportunityThe barriers to EV adoption for small and mid-size business ownersMitra's "laptop and charger" model: leasing vehicles and installing charging together, from day oneHow Mitra works within existing grid capacity instead of waiting years for new powerBattery storage, peak shaving, and the vision for 50 megawatts of distributed backup powerWhy cost savings — not climate ideology — is the killer pitch to small business ownersLinks:Mitra EV: https://www.mitra-ev.com/Galina's book recommendation, The Grid by Gretchen Bakke: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/grid-9781632865687/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show: https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

What could happen if a renewable energy project fails to meet new NERC compliance requirements? In some cases, penalties can reach up to $1 million per day per violation.In this special episode of Navigating the Grid, we're sharing a conversation originally recorded for the Clean Energy Edge Podcast, where Kellie Macpherson, EVP of Compliance & Security at Radian Generation, joined host Russ Bates to discuss the evolving compliance landscape for renewable energy.Starting May 1, 2026, inverter-based resources (IBRs) rated 20 MW or greater and connected at 60 kV or higher must register under updated North American Electric Reliability Corporation Category 2 requirements. The compliance threshold is dropping from 75 MW to 20 MW, dramatically expanding federal oversight across solar, wind, and battery storage projects.In this episode, Kellie breaks down what the rule change means, which projects will be affected, and why compliance now extends beyond paperwork to include operational readiness, cybersecurity monitoring, and audit preparedness.As renewables take on a larger role in grid reliability, understanding these requirements is becoming essential for operators, developers, and investors alike.

Financing energy infrastructure is emerging as a central issue in the next EU Multiannual Financial Framework, with the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) 2028–2034 set to play a key role. As the EU accelerates the electrification and decarbonisation of its entire economy, the CEF's effectiveness will depend on its ability to support not only cross-border interconnections, but also national and distribution-level electricity grids that underpin system integration, security of supply and economic competitiveness.Some stakeholders argue that the future CEF will have to be carefully designed to reflect these rising investment needs in national electricity grids as a whole power system. This remains an important aspect to large-scale energy projects by enabling market integration, flexibility, and the reliable operation of interconnected and resilient power systems on every level. Their modernisation and development are therefore essential for the deployment of offshore wind, large-scale energy storage and other strategic energy assets that serve both national and EU-wide markets. At the same time, most of the smaller-scale renewable energy sources and energy storage facilities are connected to the distribution grid, enabling the development of prosumers and energy communities as well as further electrification of heating and transport sectors.Stakeholders broadly agree on the importance of CEF, while highlighting the need for adequate and predictable funding, clear eligibility criteria and stronger recognition of electricity networks – particularly distribution grids – as critical infrastructure. Many claim that focusing exclusively on cross-border projects is insufficient, arguing that domestic grids, both transmission and distribution, should be acknowledged as integral to the functioning of the internal energy market.Listen to this Euractiv Hybrid Conference to discuss the future role of CEF-Energy in boosting electrification and strengthening Europe's electricity networks. Questions to be discussed include:- What role should the Connecting Europe Facility play in financing electricity grids, including distribution networks and national infrastructure, alongside cross-border projects?- What solutions can be proposed for the next CEF with the aim of delivering on time and efficiently all essential energy projects, taking into consideration the perspective of the fast-changing external environment?- How can CEF better support large-scale strategic projects that rely on strong domestic grids while delivering cross-border benefits?- How can CEF contribute to strengthening the physical and cyber security of critical energy infrastructure in the current geopolitical context?

What are ProducerHead Loops?Gems from past conversations worth running back.Perfect for when you need a quick hit of inspiration.This Loop:In this ProducerHead Loop, Dan Giffin talks about something simple but transformative. Get off the grid.Coming from a drummer's background, Dan sees producers get overly locked into the visual structure of their DAWs. The grid becomes law. The lines become rules. But rhythm is not supposed to feel perfect. It is supposed to feel human. Swing the hi hats. Let the snare breathe. Trust the push and pull.He also challenges the way we rely on visuals when producing and mixing. Spectrum analyzers, waveforms, grids. They all provide information, but they can trick us into producing with our eyes instead of our ears. Dan's philosophy is clear. Trust your ears before your eyes.

Interview with Robin Dunbar, CEO, Grid MetalsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/grid-metals-tsxvgrdm-fast-tracking-potential-on-lithium-nickel-copper-projects-5444Recording date: 2nd of March 2026Grid Metals Corp is advancing one of the world's rarest mineral opportunities—a cesium deposit in Manitoba, Canada, targeting production by 2027 in a market dominated by Chinese suppliers and constrained by extreme geological scarcity.The company has identified what CEO Robin Dunbar describes as one of only six cesium deposits ever discovered globally. With just three historically reaching production and only three new discoveries emerging despite intensive lithium exploration over the past five years, cesium's rarity drives premium pricing in a concentrated $400 million annual market where Chinese entities control 85% of supply.Grid Metals' development strategy diverges sharply from conventional mining economics. The shallow deposit, located 20-40 meters below surface, enables low-cost open-pit extraction of 50,000-100,000 tons of material. Processing relies on simple crush-and-sort technology using XRT optical sorting—eliminating the need for complex milling, tailings facilities, and environmental infrastructure that typically delay projects for years and require hundreds of millions in capital.The company has drilled approximately 100 holes with grades reaching 20-30% cesium oxide content. Based on prior discussions with nearby processor Tanco, concentrate could fetch $6,000-$9,000 per ton, potentially generating $30-100 million from an initial pit—representing 3-4 times Grid Metals' current $30 million market capitalization.Cesium applications span high-value sectors including drilling fluids for oil and gas wells, atomic clocks for military guidance systems, medical imaging, and emerging perovskite solar technology that increases photovoltaic efficiency by 25%. Supply constraints have historically limited adoption, creating latent demand that new supply could unlock.Grid Metals benefits from a critical timing advantage. Major competitor Power Metals' billion-dollar lithium-cesium project won't reach final investment decision until 2027, providing a 5-7 year market window. The company also maintains portfolio optionality through a 7-million-ton lithium deposit and a base metals joint venture with Teck Resources containing over $2 billion in ground metal value, providing diversified pathways to value realization.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/grid-metals-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

VPPs – virtual power plants – continue to spark heated debate. Are they genuinely a fast, affordable way to add capacity to the grid? Or are they an overhyped concept that falls apart when electricity systems are under stress? To find out, host Ed Crooks welcomes Colby Hastings, the senior director for residential energy at Tesla, to unpack what VPPs can and can't do for the grid.Colby explains how storage-based VPPs can behave very differently from the classic demand response that relies on consumers changing their behaviour. She sets out Tesla's thinking on VPPs, including its strategies for customer participation, reliability, and pay-for-performance. Tesla's model includes opt-outs, backup reserve settings, and transparency via an app. Customer choice is an important principle.Regular guest Amy Myers Jaffy also joins the show, and she debates what's holding VPPs back from scaling everywhere. Electricity market design can be critical for determining how fast VPPs are adopted. Other issues, including concerns about “double compensation” under net metering systems, are also important. Some regions are moving faster than others.Finally, Colby tells us what's coming next from Tesla and in the industry. Tesla's vehicle-to-grid plans are starting to take shape. A pilot, starting with the Cybertruck, was launched last month. And she explains why Puerto Rico is one of the clearest case studies for demonstrating the value of VPPs as critical infrastructure.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's about the evolution from cold-calling sponsors to building a "living resume" that speaks for you. And it's about how RACERSHIP is creating a structured, accessible gateway for the next generation of racers.

The AI infrastructure boom is rapidly reshaping how the data center industry thinks about power. What was once a relatively straightforward utility procurement exercise is evolving into a complex strategy spanning onsite generation, fuel logistics, financing, and system architecture. That reality framed a recent special edition of The Data Center Frontier Show Podcast, which recast and updated a pivotal DCF Trends Summit 2025 session: From Grid to Onsite Powering: Optimizing Energy Behind the Meter for Data Centers.  Moderated by Fengrong Li, Senior Managing Director at FTI Consulting, the panel explored how operators are responding as interconnection timelines stretch and AI workloads surge. Li's framing emphasized a core shift: onsite power is moving from contingency planning to critical-path infrastructure. From the OEM perspective, David Blank of Siemens Energy noted that behind-the-meter deployments have accelerated sharply over the past year as developers confront multi-year waits for firm utility capacity. “Everyone would prefer grid power,” Blank said. “But in many cases, reliable access isn't available for five, ten, even ten-plus years.” Panelists agreed that AI's scale and speed are driving a structural rethink. Brian Gitt of Oklo described the moment as a return to industrial roots, with large loads once again building dedicated generation to meet growth timelines. At the same time, new technical pressures are emerging. AI clusters can produce sharp load swings, forcing developers to deploy fast-response buffering technologies such as batteries, flywheels, and supercapacitors to maintain stability. Despite differing technology paths—including gas turbines, hydrogen fuel cells, and advanced nuclear—the panel aligned on one common theme: modularity. Phased power blocks increasingly mirror how AI campuses are actually built and financed. The discussion also highlighted the growing importance of contract structures. Long-term offtake commitments, capacity reservations, and credit support are increasingly required to unlock equipment queues and fuel supply. Other panelists included Marty Trivette of AlphaStruxure and Yuval Bachar of ECL. The event was hosted by Data Center Frontier's Matt Vincent. The takeaway was clear: in the AI era, energy strategy has moved to the critical path—and for many operators, that path now runs behind the meter.

The energy grid needs reliable, carbon-free power around the clock and geothermal might be the most underestimated solution on the table. A century of oil and gas expertise is now being repurposed to unlock heat sitting beneath our feet almost anywhere on Earth, and in doing so, it's also unlocking a new form of long-duration energy storage that requires no mountain, no reservoir, and no battery chemistry.In this episode, host Alejandro Diego sits down with Cindy Taff, CEO of Sage Geo Systems. Together they explore how Sage is moving beyond the geological constraints of conventional geothermal, what it takes to engineer a reservoir from scratch, how their underground pressure storage system works like an inverted pumped hydro plant, and why companies like Meta and the US Department of Defense are already signing on.You can watch or listen to new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.Transmission is a Modo Energy production.

The grid has been here before. Between 1960 and 2000, US utilities grew demand 4–5x while cutting real electricity prices by 20%, and the lessons from that era are more relevant than ever.Mark Dyson is Managing Director of Electricity at RMI, where he's spent nearly two decades working on grid modernization, distributed energy resources, and the policy and market design that holds it all together. Before returning to RMI, he led analytics at Ascend Analytics, giving him a rare vantage point across both the technical and market sides of the energy transition.In this episode, Mark draws on that history to make the case that data center load growth isn't the crisis it's being framed as — it's a solvable problem, and virtual power plants are a big part of the solution. He breaks down why VPPs are 40–60% cheaper than gas peakers or batteries for meeting new peak demand, and what it actually takes to deploy them at scale.This episode covers:- The three lessons from last century's grid growth: embrace new technology, invest proactively in infrastructure, and make the most of existing capacity- Why virtual power plants are the fastest, most affordable tool for meeting data center demand growth- Why hyperscalers resist flexible load at the project level — and how paying others to curtail resolves that tension- Navigating permitting headwinds and the post-OBBBA policy environmentIf you're working on the energy transition, Mark's perspective on what history can actually teach us about today's challenges is essential listening.Learn more about RMI here. Paces helps developers find and evaluate the sites most suitable for renewable development.

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.

Power systems quietly and reliably move enormous amounts of energy every day. But when things go wrong—when there is too much current or a fault on the line, something has to act fast. That job belongs to the circuit breaker. In this episode, host Dave Whitehead and guest Kylan Robinson, engineering director at SEL, discuss how circuit breakers sense trouble, interrupt currents as powerful as a lightning bolt, work with protective relays to keep the grid safe, and are evolving to meet new demands.

Bud Weinstein argues that coal remains a vital base load power source for the US grid, noting that while coal's share has dropped to 15-20%, these plants are critical because they operate 24/7, meeting high electricity demands that renewables cannot always satisfy.

In this episode of Tacos & Tech, Neal Bloom sits down with Troy Helming, founder and CEO of EarthGrid, to explore one of the most ambitious infrastructure plays of our time: building an underground super grid. Troy shares how a chance conversation about Navy SEAL plasma cutters sparked the idea for plasma-based tunnel boring, and how EarthGrid is now using that technology to dramatically reduce the cost, time, and friction of underground infrastructure.The conversation spans Troy's decades-long journey through clean energy, wind, solar, and transmission, the real bottlenecks slowing the energy transition, and why underground infrastructure may be the fastest path to unlocking renewable power, AI data centres, water systems, and broadband at scale. From melting granite with plasma to navigating regulation as a registered utility, this episode is a masterclass in deep tech, systems thinking, and building for generational impact.Key Topics Covered* The origin story of EarthGrid and plasma-based tunnel boring* How a Navy SEAL plasma cutting torch inspired a new approach to excavation* The 10–20 year reality of permitting overhead power lines* How underground infrastructure cuts permitting timelines dramatically* Troy's background in wind and solar and building multi-billion-dollar energy platforms* Plasma excavation vs traditional drilling, blasting, and tunneling* EarthGrid's patented “Thunderdome” spoils removal system* Trenching vs tunneling use cases for data centers, utilities, and substations* Why EarthGrid operates as both a contractor and a utility* The BOOM model: Build, Own, Operate, Maintain* Underground infrastructure as long-term, cash-flowing real estate* AI-driven data center demand and the infrastructure crunch* Why regulation can be a competitive advantage, not a blocker* Troy's long-term vision for quality-of-life improvements through infrastructureLinks & Resources* EarthGridConnect on Linkedin* Troy Helming* Neal Bloom This is a public episode.

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.

How do we generate the energy we need to meet the demands of consumption for the future? Any plans to meet future climate challenges and technological advancement will require not only sustainable sources of energy, but must also include the grid: our national transmission system that delivers energy to homes, businesses, data centers, and manufacturing. This week we're discussing the energy transmission network in the USA, including policy decisions, environmental impacts, land ownership, mineral demand, and the realities of an already overwhelmed grid. About World Ocean Radio World Ocean Radio is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by college and community radio stations worldwide.

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.
