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.

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.

Is AI helping reunite families with lost pets — or quietly building a surveillance network? Tara dives into Ring's new AI “Search Party” system, comparisons to China's social-credit surveillance, and the growing tension between convenience, safety, and civil liberties. Where's the line between helpful tech and a system that could be abused? Summary: Tara breaks down the rise of interconnected AI camera networks after a Super Bowl ad promoted Ring's new dog-finding technology. While the system promises faster reunions for missing pets and potential crime reduction, critics warn it resembles large-scale surveillance models seen overseas. The conversation explores facial recognition, AI tracking, privacy concerns, law enforcement access, and the uneasy balance between technological convenience and the risk of future government overreach. Is this innovation — or the start of something much bigger?

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.

Varun Sivaram is Founder and CEO of Emerald AI, a company building software that makes AI data centers power flexible. As AI data centers become one of the fastest-growing sources of electricity demand, grid constraints are emerging as a critical bottleneck for compute deployment.In this episode, the conversation focuses on why power availability — not GPUs — is increasingly the limiting factor for AI. Data centers concentrate massive electrical loads in specific locations, creating grid stress, long interconnection delays, and rising electricity costs for surrounding communities. Traditional grid expansion alone is too slow to meet near-term AI demand.Emerald AI's response is to treat AI data centers as flexible loads rather than fixed ones. Its software coordinates compute with grid conditions by shifting workloads across time, geography, and on-site energy resources like batteries. The episode walks through real-world demonstrations, including a published field trial showing a 25% power reduction during grid stress without breaking compute performance. The discussion frames flexible load as one of the fastest ways to unlock power for AI while improving grid stability.Episode recorded on Feb 2, 2026 (Published on Feb 10, 2026)In this episode, we cover:(0:00) Intro(1:36) What Emerald AI is and how it works(6:41) Varun's background and why he founded Emerald(10:59) Emerald's software for power-flexible data centers(19:04) The three types of flexibility: temporal, spatial, and resource(23:29) How much control customers give Emerald(28:20) Coordinating compute with on-site energy like batteries(31:27) Off-grid vs. grid-connected data centers(35:39) Why exiting the grid creates political and systemic risk(37:12) Emerald AI's open rolesLinks:Varun Sivaram on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/varunsivaramEmerald AI: https://www.emeraldai.co/AI data centers as grid-interactive assets paper Enjoyed this episode?

Leading international law firm, Addleshaw Goddard, launched its Investors in Energy: Ireland Report at its Ireland's Energy Market Outlook event at the Westbury, bringing together key decision-makers to explore trends and investment opportunities across the Irish energy sector. The event was attended by Minister of State at the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment, Timmy Dooley, T.D., alongside more than 100 senior representatives from across the industry, who examined the critical need for deeper stakeholder collaboration to unlock Ireland's renewable energy potential. The report examines how Ireland can build on its strong renewable momentum while tackling the practical challenges that shape the pace of new infrastructure delivery. Drawing on insights from across the energy sector, it explores the balance between strong renewable growth, rising electricity demand, and the power system's capacity to absorb this and deliver in light of recent, significant investment decisions. Acceleration of Solar The report highlights that Ireland's renewable energy transition has shown signs of acceleration in recent years, particularly in solar, which has expanded from almost zero capacity to in excess of 2GW in under four years. Strong policy ambition and sustained investor appetite continue to support this growth. However, it finds that delivery capacity, not ambition, is now the defining constraint. Grid limitations, planning challenges, and long lead times for major infrastructure projects are slowing the pace at which renewable projects can move from the development stage to operation. Offshore wind is currently hindered by planning challenges, with the first phase of offshore wind projects only likely to be delivered post 2030. Speaking at the launch event, Minister of State at the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment, Timmy Dooley, T.D., said: "Ireland has made significant strides in scaling renewable energy, particularly in onshore wind and solar. The next phase of our energy transition will hinge on ensuring that infrastructure delivery, planning processes and regulatory systems keep pace with the supportive policy and the investment environment we've put in place for renewables in Ireland. At Government level, we are addressing these challenges through the introduction of the Critical Infrastructure Bill and Emergency Powers Bill, both currently being progressed, in order to support and accelerate sustained growth in the years ahead." Sustaining the Energy Transition Despite these constraints, the report identifies a broad and investable pipeline of opportunities across the Irish energy market. Rapid solar deployment continues to attract strong levels of capital, while emerging opportunities in battery storage, grid stability services, biomethane, and private power solutions are gaining momentum. Rising electricity demand is reshaping how energy is generated, stored, and supplied, accelerating interest in flexible delivery models such as behind-the-meter generation and future private wire connections. Launching the report, Gavin Blake, Partner, Head of Energy & Infrastructure at Addleshaw Goddard Ireland, said: "Ireland's opportunity is shaped not by demand or capital, but by how effectively delivery is coordinated across the system. Grid capacity, planning complexity and infrastructure sequencing are now the critical factors determining how quickly projects can be built and brought online. The positive story is that Ireland has already proven it can scale renewables at pace. The next phase is about making that growth dependable and aligned with rising demand through greater stakeholder coordination." Immediate Focus The report concludes that closer coordination between the Government, regulators, and industry will be critical to sustaining progress. Aligning infrastructure investment with demand growth, rather than forcing outcomes against system limits, will be essential to maintaining investor conf...

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) held a briefing about state-led energy solutions to meet rapidly increasing power demand needed to grow America's economy, support energy security and resilience, and put downward pressure on electricity costs.  Attendees heard from State Energy Office leaders about the 11-state Advanced Nuclear First Mover Initiative, 13-state Geothermal Power Accelerator, hydropower, advanced transmission reconductoring and grid optimization, and energy storage. Panelists discussed energy efficiency solutions that are lowering energy bills for consumers and businesses, and the latest on state energy security initiatives designed to improve reliability and speed the recovery of energy systems following physical, weather, and cyber incidents. Speakers highlighted key federal policies that can help states in their efforts to catalyze energy innovation and address energy affordability.

Tell us what you think of the show! As energy demand reaches historic levels, the utility industry needs to build a 21st-century grid while also keeping monthly bills affordable for the average family. What does it mean to do so on a practical level?To find out, we connected with Exelon EVP and COO Mike Innocenzo. Drawing on a career that began as a field engineer, he explains why affordability has become the starting point for every conversation at Exelon. He shares how the company navigates the massive costs of data center integration and EV adoption while overseeing a $38 billion capital plan. We also explore the reality of hardening the grid, the regulatory innovations needed to streamline costs, how Exelon uses AI to protect their customer's bottom line and much more.Want to make a suggestion for This Week in Cleantech?

The eighty-four-year-old mother of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie vanished from her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning. But investigators may know exactly when she was taken—thanks to her pacemaker.According to law enforcement sources, Nancy Guthrie's pacemaker stopped syncing with her Apple Watch at approximately 2 a.m. Sunday. It didn't malfunction. It lost its Bluetooth connection when Nancy was physically moved out of range. The watch was left inside. That disconnect is what investigators are using to narrow down the abduction window.The crime scene evidence is disturbing. Multiple cameras at the property were smashed. The back door was left wide open. Blood was found inside the home and at the front door stoop. Retired FBI agent Maureen O'Connell analyzed footage and said the round blood droplets suggest Nancy may have been carried out.Then the investigation took an unusual turn. Roughly thirty hours after the initial response, the scene was released—tape came down, activity slowed. Without explanation, everything reversed. Crime scene tape went back up. Multiple agencies surged in. Canine units arrived. Grid searches focused on the garage. Something pulled investigators back with urgency.The investigation has reportedly turned toward family as standard procedure. Annie Guthrie's vehicle was impounded. FBI agents spent two hours at her home. Reports of ransom-style messages referencing cryptocurrency remain unverified. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings released a plea specifically requesting proof of life—language that signals concern about the credibility of communications received.Nancy cannot walk fifty yards unassisted and requires daily medication that could be fatal if missed. Past the seventy-two-hour mark. When asked if they believe she's alive, Sheriff Nanos said: "We hope we are." A retired FBI agent was blunter: the blood evidence "let the air out of my tires."#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #TodayShow #Tucson #Kidnapping #MissingPerson #CatalinaFoothills #FBI #TrueCrimeToday #BreakingNewsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This conversation touches on consciousness beyond the physical body, grief and continuing bonds, emotional release, forgiveness, boundaries, and divine timing—without trying to explain it all away. It's not about bypassing the hard parts of life but learning how to walk through the darkness with more trust, awareness, and compassion. If you've been questioning your path, feeling disconnected from loved ones who've passed, or wondering whether you're truly supported… This episode is an invitation to listen differently, and find alignment through intention and love. You are more guided than you realize. Key Moments You'll Love ✨:

Nancy Guthrie vanished from her own home at eighty-four years old. She didn't wander. She didn't leave voluntarily. Investigators arrived to find blood at the entry and inside the house — and immediately treated the residence as a crime scene.Then came a sequence that defies easy explanation. The scene was released after roughly thirty hours. Activity stopped. And then investigators surged back. Crime scene tape went up a second time. Canine units deployed. Grid searches expanded. And attention locked onto the garage.You don't reopen a crime scene without new information forcing your hand. That reversal is one of the most significant signals in this case — and law enforcement hasn't publicly explained what triggered it.Nancy's children stepped forward with a public video plea. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings spoke about their mother with love and restraint, describing her faith, her resilience, and her bond with her grandchildren. But buried in that plea was a pointed request — proof of life. That phrase carries weight. It signals uncertainty about whether communications claiming to involve Nancy are legitimate.Reports of ransom-style messages have surfaced — references to cryptocurrency, claims about the crime scene, descriptions of clothing. Law enforcement acknowledges awareness but has verified nothing. The authenticity gap is wide, and it matters. Genuine kidnapping operations establish leverage fast. The timeline here doesn't track with a straightforward abduction.Federal resources have poured in. Specialized units handling digital forensics, communication tracing, and kidnapping dynamics are now involved. That escalation says everything about how seriously this is being treated.Nancy Guthrie depends on daily medication and lives with chronic pain. She is vulnerable in ways that make every passing hour more dangerous. Her family isn't asking for theories. They're asking for their mother back. Tony Brueski breaks down the full picture — the evidence, the patterns, and the questions that remain unanswered.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Surveying fundamentals can quietly make or break a drone mapping project—and grid vs. ground coordinates are one of those topics that trip people up more often than they expect. In this episode of Your Drone Questions. Answered the conversation zooms in on the essentials every drone pilot working with mapping, surveying, or lidar data needs to understand.The discussion is joined by Mark White from Duncan-Parnell, a licensed land surveyor with decades of experience in geospatial training and support. Together, they break down what grid and ground coordinates actually mean, why GPS measurements don't live on the same “surface” we work on in the real world, and how scale factors quietly affect distances, areas, and deliverables.You'll hear clear explanations of state plane systems, ellipsoids, and why mapping on a flat grid is convenient—but not always representative of true ground distances. The episode also tackles site calibration (sometimes called localization), how it works behind the scenes, and why it's often the key to making drone data line up correctly with survey control.Useful links:-TBC Power Hour Defining and Working with Grid and Ground Coordinates (16:09 mark is where the graphic referenced in the podcast is discussed): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3SzLtNWa7E -GNSS Site Calibrations in Trimble Access – Everything You Need to Know | Survey Matters (first 2.5 minutes in particular): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5fwa2tGgVAhttps://www.youtube.com/@duncanparnellgeospatialhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhkUv995xbiWXc9Vz2oGD7jdBD2O1wunKhttps://www.duncan-parnell.com/

 In this episode of the Everything Electric Podcast, Robert Llewellyn is joined by Tim Jarratt, Executive for External Affairs & Strategy at Ausgrid, to unpack what's actually happening to our power networks, and why electric vehicles may not be the biggest challenge after all. While much of the world debates EV adoption, Australia is already living through a quiet energy revolution. Nearly 40% of Australian homes now have rooftop solar, turning the traditional one-way grid into a complex, two-way system where your neighbour might be powering your kettle.   Tim explains how Ausgrid is rethinking the grid from the ground up, squeezing more capacity from existing infrastructure, rolling out community batteries, and planning for a future shaped by data centres, electric transport, and millions of small power producers.     Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: www.everythingelectric.show    To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show   EE NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026  EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026  EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026 EE SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park - 18th - 20th Sept 2026  

Resilience is the buzzword of the moment—from Gerard's personal resilience on display in Davos last week to the critical issue of grid resilience.  The great Doug Houseman draws a useful distinction between reliability and resilience. “Reliability is about how well you keep the lights on, while resilience is about how quickly you can restore power after an outage.”  Over the past year, blackouts caused by extreme weather, human error, and physical attacks have exposed an uncomfortable truth: electricity is no longer invisible background infrastructure. It is the backbone of modern society, and when it fails, everything else quickly follows.  To explore these challenges, Laurent and Gerard sit down with Ronny Fiuren, one of the Nordics' sharpest thinkers on energy. Ronny is the Founder of Mylicia Energy, an executive board member, and a strategic business developer with deep expertise in power markets, energy flexibility, and grid-oriented solutions.  Together, they discuss why resilience has evolved from a technical afterthought into a strategic priority, and what recent events across Europe and North America are really telling us about the condition of our power grids.  The conversation examines how decentralisation, flexibility, and the use of advanced technologies and AI matter more than ever. It also highlights the need for a shift in mindset, not only among grid operators but also regulators.  They explore the value of interconnectors in strengthening power systems, while also unpacking their political dimensions and the strong public emotions that can emerge when electricity prices rise suddenly.  Beyond weather-related disruptions and cyber threats, the discussion turns to new risks such as deliberate sabotage and how energy systems can be designed to cope with them.  From Scandinavia to the rest of Europe, this is a timely conversation about how to build power systems capable of withstanding shocks in an increasingly electrified and digital world.----Read Ember Europe Electricity Review  https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/european-electricity-review-2026/
