The Metaphysical Hour with Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan and Question Master Tiffanny Glitches, Guides, and the Wisdom Within Julia Cannon, Tracie Mahan, and Triffany explore energetic shifts, inner knowing, animal transition, timelines, grounding, dream messages, soul recognition, and the importance of using discernment while connecting with universal wisdom. Opening the Grid and Trusting Inner Knowing In this episode of The Metaphysical Hour, Julia Cannon, Tracie Mahan, and Triffany open with a warm check-in, technical “glitch in the matrix” humor, birthday wishes for Julia's parents, and reflections on shifting energies now that retrograde has ended. Julia invites listeners around the world to “light up” their part of the grid by connecting through the heart, while also reminding them to use discernment. The corrected transcript notes that spiritual beliefs, metaphysical claims, timelines, animal transition, healing, and energetic guidance are preserved as speaker commentary rather than verified factual claims. Everyone Has Access to the Field Julia and Tracie explain that the show is not meant to function as a psychic hotline, but as a demonstration of how anyone can tap into universal knowing. Julia describes an inner “Geiger counter” that helps people sense what resonates, while Tracie says it is often easier to receive answers for someone else because there is less personal attachment. As listeners check in from around the world, the hosts emphasize that each person already has access to infinite wisdom within themselves and does not need to place anyone else on a pedestal. Animals, Group Souls, and Loving Transition The first major listener question asks whether animals transition in the way Julia's grandmother described. Julia explains her mother's teaching that animals come from a group soul, but that loving relationships with humans help pets individualize and evolve. Tracie adds that people often report being greeted by beloved animals after crossing over, which she interprets as evidence that pets can become loved ones who remain available in spirit. The hosts also describe animals as healing companions who can sense where energy is needed and offer comfort through their presence. Soul Aspects, Timelines, and the New Earth Path The conversation expands from animals into soul aspects, group consciousness, timelines, and the idea that multiple versions of a soul may exist in different experiences at once. Tracie describes healing as something that can move back to the origin of a timeline, resolving ancestral karma and helping complete the purpose of this version of reality. Julia connects this to her mother's work, including The Convoluted Universe, and says this lifetime is deeply important because it supports the fifth-dimensional or New Earth timeline. Rather than seeing difficult lives as wasted, the hosts frame them as experiences gathered into the whole. Staying Grounded Around Negativity A listener named Mary asks how to remain grounded, live in peace, and keep negativity from affecting the heart. Tracie advises turning off avoidable sources of negativity, such as news that only creates anger, while asking deeper questions when the negativity is unavoidable or close to home. Julia adds that repeating patterns may be lessons the soul is trying to make sure the person fully understands. The hosts suggest asking what the experience is teaching, what role one may be playing in another person's growth, and how changing the way a situation is viewed can shift its vibration. Sleep Messages, Writing, and Dream Experiences Another listener asks about waking up with names, phrases, or unusual messages such as “earth modulation.” Tracie encourages writing these messages down, noting that sleep states may involve other experiences, lessons, or information trying to come through consciously. Julia suggests beginning with the phrase itself and letting automatic or intuitive writing expand the message. The hosts also discuss dreams as possible extensions of other experiences, metaphoric messages for the current life, transformation symbols, dress rehearsals for the next day, and multidimensional activities that become partly available when the conscious mind is asleep. Soul Recognition, Romance, and Self-Love The final major question focuses on feeling romantically drawn to someone who does not reciprocate. Julia suggests that the initial spark may be soul recognition from another time, but that the person may not be meant to play the same role in this lifetime. Tracie adds that attraction can also reveal rejection, abandonment, or self-worth patterns that need healing. Both hosts guide the listener toward self-love, free will, and walking away when the connection is not reciprocal or no longer serves growth. The episode closes with resources for QHHT, Soul Speak, and Tracie's work, followed by gratitude to Triffany, Tracie, and the audience.

Our Global Head of Thematic and Sustainability Research Stephen Byrd explains why the recent AI infrastructure selloff may reflect technical pressures, not weakening fundamentals.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Stephen Byrd: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Stephen Byrd, Morgan Stanley's Global Head of Thematic and Sustainability Research.Today: Are investors misreading the AI infrastructure selloff?It's Thursday, July 30th, at 10am in New York.The recent selloff in AI infrastructure stocks has raised a familiar question: Is the buildout running ahead of real demand? The market is pulling back and we think that reflects profit-taking, crowded positioning, and forced selling by investors. This is not about weaker fundamentals. But the selloff has brought to light three key concerns, which we think the market is overplaying.The first concern is how much enterprises are willing to pay for AI. The median enterprise employee currently generates less than $11 a month in token spending. That's the fee paid when an AI model processes a request and generates a response.We think there is room for that to increase. From the employer's perspective the economics are compelling. Across workplace applications, the cost to execute the economic task would be $2-$5. And that could save an enterprise $55. That to us suggests companies are likely to spend more, not less, on AI over time.The second debate centers on efficient models, including competitive models developed in China.  And here, policy responses both from the U.S. and China can have an impact as well. Some investors worry that better efficiency means less computing demand. But we see the opposite risk. This is a classic example of Jevons paradox: When something becomes cheaper or more efficient to use, people use more of it. In AI, lower costs can attract more users, encourage more frequent use, and make complicated applications more economical. The scale is striking. Industry leaders estimate that compute demand could double every six months, which would amount to more than a thousand-fold increase in compute over five years. Hyperscalers could quadruple available power capacity to roughly 120 gigawatts by 2028, from about 30 gigawatts in 2025.And that leads to the third debate – whether data centers can secure enough power to keep expanding. It's a valid concern. In the U.S., facilities under construction and contracted grid capacity cover about 30 gigawatts. That's less than half the 68 gigawatts of power that data centers are likely to need from 2026 through 2028. Grid connections can take five to seven years in some regions. Skilled electricians, welders, and pipefitters are in short supply. And local opposition is increasing as communities debate electricity bills, tax incentives, and who should pay for grid upgrades.These are real obstacles, but we view them as delays rather than dead ends. Onsite generation, fuel cells, energy storage, natural gas turbines, and the conversion of existing high-power sites could close the gap, at least partially.We believe much of the recent weakness in AI infrastructure has been driven by technical factors rather than a change in the underlying fundamentals. As AI becomes more capable and cheaper to use, demand for intelligence, compute, and power is likely to keep rising. The global market is fragmented as policy decisions in the U.S. and China shape how growth unfolds. But strong economics should support continued investment.Thanks for listening.

If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.volts.wtf/subscribeThe Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) established substantial tax credits for wind and solar power. Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) eliminated those tax credits. How much damage did that do to the overall trajectory of clean energy in the post-Trump world? A new research commentary argues that the damage was less than many had feared and that the road forward for clean energy is less about restoring those credits than about easing the permitting and interconnection constraints inhibiting renewable energy.

Most electric vehicles spend nearly all of their lives parked, doing nothing. But under the hood of those idle cars, a massive store of energy sits untapped. The Kia EV9, for instance, holds a 100-kilowatt-hour battery—which is equivalent to about seven home backup batteries—just waiting to be utilized. Yet despite this enormous potential, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology has remained mostly limited to small-scale pilot programs for decades. But with advanced tech hitting the market, that could soon change. In this episode, Shayle sits down with Steve Letendre, senior advisor at the Vehicle-Grid Integration Council and editor of V2G News, to explore why the V2G revolution is finally moving from concept to reality. They break down the technical battle between AC and DC architectures, tackle the looming questions around battery degradation and warranties, and debate the business models that will finally convince everyday drivers to plug their cars back into the grid. Shayle and Steve discuss topics like: - The unused energy capacity hidden in parked EVs - The technical debate, cost trade-offs, and hardware differences between off-board power conversion (DC architecture) and on-board power conversion (AC architecture). - Current compatible EV options, including the Nissan Leaf, Tesla Cybertruck, Ford F-150 Lightning, and Kia EV9 - The high upfront cost of V2G systems - Consumers' fears regarding whether discharging power to the grid will ruin their EV batteries or void manufacturer warranties. - Streamlining the V2G enrollment process via VPP programs or at point-of-sale - How financing can unlock mass V2G adoption Resources Catalyst: Repurposing EV batteries for grid storage Catalyst: How China is reshaping the global auto market Catalyst: Enter the electric supercycle Latitude Media: Electric Era is turning its EV-charging tech into a data center power play Latitude Media: The future of optimized EV charging Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

A few months ago, we told you about a Houston bankruptcy court carving up TPI Composites. Well, that story just got a whole lot bigger. On July sixth, TPI walked out of Chapter Eleven. Zero debt. New owners. A private equity firm called Energy Capital Partners picked up TPI’s blade factories in Iowa and Juarez, Mexico for about twenty million dollars. Twenty million, against more than a billion dollars in liabilities. ECP did not stumble into wind blades. They bought Calpine back in twenty eighteen, inherited seventy-seven power plants, and became GE’s biggest private gas turbine customer in the Western Hemisphere. That relationship, forged in gas turbine halls, is what brought them to composite factories. GE Vernova signed a five-year supply deal requiring it to send blade orders to ECP’s factories. GE is ECP’s partner, its customer, and was even the backup buyer if the deal fell through. So TPI lives on, leaner, debt-free, with locked-in demand from one of the biggest turbine makers on earth. But now, the other side of that coin. While ECP picked up two blade factories for twenty million dollars, GE Vernova recently pumped one-point-seven billion dollars into its own blade company, LM Wind Power. LM’s equity had fallen to negative 575 million euros. Revenue dropped ninety-six percent in one year, from 2.1 billion Danish kroner down to just ninety-three million. The Danish workforce, cut to about twenty-five people. LM Wind Power has lost money every single year since GE bought it in twenty seventeen. Nine straight years of red ink. So think about that. Two American blade factories now serve GE Vernova’s onshore business. One in Grand Forks, North Dakota, owned by GE, inside a division losing four hundred million dollars a year. The other in Newton, Iowa, owned by ECP, zero debt, five-year supply deal. The independent contract blade business that TPI Composites built is gone. Vestas took the India and Mexico plants in-house. GE’s supply is locked to ECP. The OEMs and their financial partners now own the factories directly. And that is a new era for wind manufacturing. Now, let us talk about what those blades are doing once they are spinning. Earlier this month, a brutal heat wave hit the eastern United States. Air conditioners running full blast. Grid operators scrambling to keep up. And off the coast of New England, two offshore wind farms stepped up. Vineyard Wind, eight hundred and six megawatts off Massachusetts. Revolution Wind, seven hundred and four megawatts near Rhode Island. Together they pushed hundreds of megawatts into the grid right when people needed it most. And here is the number that matters. Oil-fired power plants met about ten percent of peak demand on July second this year. Last summer, at the height of a similar heat wave, oil plants covered nearly fifteen percent. That is more than a gigawatt less oil burned. The projects that survived lawsuits, survived construction shutdowns, survived lease freezes, are now keeping the lights on in New England. Across the Atlantic, Scotland just approved two massive offshore wind farms. The Caledonia North and South projects in the Moray Firth, up to one hundred and forty turbines spread across one hundred and sixty-five square miles. Enough power for two million homes. Ocean Wind is leading the development with a commitment of about 1.7 billion pounds. And here is what makes this project different. Caledonia South will mix fixed-bottom and floating turbines, up to thirty-nine floaters. That blend of proven and next-generation technology on a single project is something to watch. Back in the United States, nineteen state attorneys general are suing the Department of Defense. The reason, wind project reviews. Federal law says any wind turbine taller than two hundred feet must go through a Defense Department check, to make sure it does not interfere with military radar or flight paths. Last August, the Pentagon stopped reviewing those projects. No explanation. No timeline for starting again. Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown is leading the coalition, joined by attorneys general from eighteen other states including California, New York, and New Jersey. They want a court to force the Defense Department to start doing its job again. And finally, a story from the sea floor. Down in southern New England, lobster populations have been falling for decades. Back in nineteen ninety-eight, there were about fifty million lobsters in those waters. By twenty twenty-two, fewer than ten million. But something else is moving in. Jonah crabs. Fishermen used to throw them back. Now they are hauling them in by the thousands, selling them as a cheaper option to lobster. And researchers at the University of Rhode Island are finding that offshore wind foundations are acting like artificial reefs. Algae grows first, then barnacles and mussels, then fish and crabs follow. The question scientists are working to answer is whether these structures create new marine life, or just pull it in from the surrounding ocean. Either way, the turbines are not just making electricity. They are making habitat. Now, here is what to watch. This Wednesday, July twenty-second, GE Vernova reports second quarter earnings. And the numbers we just talked about will be in the room. One-point-seven billion dollars pumped into LM Wind Power, a blade company that has lost money nine years straight. Twenty million dollars to let ECP walk away with two factories and a five-year supply deal. GE Vernova is guiding for four hundred million dollars in wind segment losses this year. Meanwhile, its Power and Electrification divisions are printing money, nearly five billion dollars in free cash flow last quarter alone. So the question on that earnings call is simple. If you are spending eighty times more to keep your in-house blade maker alive than a private equity firm paid to buy your contract supplier, how long do you keep doing both? Watch for what GE Vernova says about LM Wind Power’s future, about North American onshore blade strategy, and about whether that 1.7 billion dollar injection was a rescue, or a goodbye. The answer could reshape who makes blades in this industry for the next decade. And that is the state of the wind industry for the 19th of July, twenty twenty-six. Join us for the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast tomorrow.

A call to place disability at the center of climate and disaster responsesEvery disaster is a disability disaster, argues Angela Frederick. Disabled Power: A Storm, A Grid, and Embodied Harm in the Age of Disaster (NYU Press, 2025) tells the stories of Texans with disabilities who endured the 2021 Texas power crisis, which forced millions of Texas residents to endure a dayslong winter storm without heat or water. Based on 58 in-depth interviews with disabled Texans and parents of disabled children, Frederick highlights how disabled people and those with chronic health conditions are uniquely harmed when basic infrastructure such as power and water systems fail. She argues that the vulnerability people with disabilities experienced during this disaster was not an inevitable consequence of individual disabled bodies. Rather, disability vulnerability was “produced” by policies that “disabled” vital infrastructure.Frederick also emphasizes another meaning of the phrase “disabled power:” the individual and collective resilience and creativity Texans with disabilities exercised to survive the disaster. Despite common perceptions of people with disabilities as passive victims, Frederick shows how many found strategies to survive and to provide and receive care within their communities. Ultimately, the implications of this disaster extend far beyond Texas and underscore our increased vulnerability to infrastructural failures as extreme weather events become more common. Disabled Power offers a blueprint for reimagining vulnerability and resilience to center people with disabilities in disaster research and emergency response.

The Metaphysical Hour with Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan and Question Master Tiffanny Vortexes, Sacred Geometry, and the Heart's Guidance Through Shifting Timelines Lighting the Grid and Moving Through Mercury Retrograde In this episode of The Metaphysical Hour, Julia Cannon, Tracie Mahan, and Tiffany welcome listeners from around the world and invite them to “shine their light” into the larger energetic grid. Tracie gives an update on her move, explaining how Mercury retrograde has brought delays, disruptions, and redirections, but also completion and progress. She reflects on leaving her former home, feeling the energetic disconnect already happening, and even calling her personal “vortexes” to join her in her temporary space before moving into the next home. Guidance, Lessons, and the Courage to Change The first listener question asks why guidance from a guardian angel may not seem to be coming through. Julia and Tracie suggest that sometimes guidance is not about changing the outer situation but changing how a person is relating to it. They discuss the possibility that a difficult circumstance may contain a lesson the soul chose to explore, and that angels or guides may not interfere until the person recognizes what is being learned. They also clarify that rituals such as cutting cords or tearing up energetic contracts may be useful when they help someone establish boundaries and take an active role in choosing what they will or will not allow. Sacred Geometry, Crop Circles, and Living Patterns of Energy A major portion of the episode centers on sacred geometry, sparked by a question about the symbols in Tracie's background. Julia and Tracie describe sacred geometry as energetic patterning, vibration, and a kind of blueprint woven into life itself. They connect it to snowflakes, microscopic patterns, chakras, the Merkaba, the Flower of Life, Dr. Masaru Emoto's water research, sand-and-frequency demonstrations, and crop circles. Their discussion presents crop circles as frequency-based symbols or programs that can be received simply by looking at them, with Tracie and Julia describing the information as something that can be transmitted through pattern, vibration, and resonance. Crop Circles, Earth Frequencies, and the Meeting of Above and Below The crop-circle discussion continues with a question about whether they come from Earth or from ships. Julia and Tracie respond that they understand it as both: a frequency or craft-related activation that meets the Earth's response. They discuss why crop circles often appear in certain areas of the United Kingdom, pointing to land composition, white stone, water tables, and specific energetic environments. They also compare the appearance of crop circles to sending an email full of compressed information, suggesting that the symbol itself can carry more than the conscious mind immediately understands. Pets, Transition, and Permission to Go Another listener asks how to know when it is time to release a beloved pet. The hosts respond with tenderness, saying that animals often have an easier relationship with death because they do not think about it the way humans do. They encourage listeners to talk to their pets, listen for whether the animal feels ready, and recognize that animals may sometimes hold on because their humans are not ready to let go. Tracie and Julia also note that pets may carry energy or stress for people, and that a sudden burst of vitality near the end can happen even when the animal is still ready to transition. Protection, Fear, and the Safety Frequency The episode also addresses whether creating a protective circle every day might block spiritual growth by keeping out uncomfortable experiences. Julia and Tracie say no, explaining that if an experience is truly part of a person's learning, it can still come through. They frame protection practices, white-light pyramids, gatekeepers, and “I am safe” mantras as tools for calming fear and helping a person feel safe enough to proceed. The point, in their view, is not that there is necessarily something dangerous to block, but that a feeling of safety helps keep someone out of fear and in a higher creative vibration. Retrogrades, Timeline Shifts, and the Wisdom of the Heart In the closing portion, the hosts return to Mercury retrograde, new jobs, timeline shifts, solar flares, the Schumann resonance, and the sense that people's personalities and realities may be changing. Tracie shares that after a recent client session, she felt as if she had moved onto a different timeline where things flowed more smoothly. The hosts suggest that something larger than Mercury retrograde may be happening, with upgrades and energetic integration unfolding in the background. The final question asks about head-versus-heart conflict, and Julia and Tracie answer that the heart knows: when the head rationalizes and confuses, the heart points toward what brings joy, relief, and authentic alignment. The episode closes with information for finding Tracie through QHHTOfficial.com or TracieMahan.com, along with thanks to Tiffany and the audience.

A call to place disability at the center of climate and disaster responsesEvery disaster is a disability disaster, argues Angela Frederick. Disabled Power: A Storm, A Grid, and Embodied Harm in the Age of Disaster (NYU Press, 2025) tells the stories of Texans with disabilities who endured the 2021 Texas power crisis, which forced millions of Texas residents to endure a dayslong winter storm without heat or water. Based on 58 in-depth interviews with disabled Texans and parents of disabled children, Frederick highlights how disabled people and those with chronic health conditions are uniquely harmed when basic infrastructure such as power and water systems fail. She argues that the vulnerability people with disabilities experienced during this disaster was not an inevitable consequence of individual disabled bodies. Rather, disability vulnerability was “produced” by policies that “disabled” vital infrastructure.Frederick also emphasizes another meaning of the phrase “disabled power:” the individual and collective resilience and creativity Texans with disabilities exercised to survive the disaster. Despite common perceptions of people with disabilities as passive victims, Frederick shows how many found strategies to survive and to provide and receive care within their communities. Ultimately, the implications of this disaster extend far beyond Texas and underscore our increased vulnerability to infrastructural failures as extreme weather events become more common. Disabled Power offers a blueprint for reimagining vulnerability and resilience to center people with disabilities in disaster research and emergency response.

Neste sábado, classificação para o GP da Bélgica. Por isso, o Podcast Motorsport.com chega com o programa Q4, que analisa tudo da sessão que definiu o grid de largada em Spa-Francorchamps.

America's electric grid wasn't built for AI, electric vehicles, battery storage, or the rapid growth of renewable energy.So how do we modernize a system that was built and started in the late 1800s and early 1900s, more than a century ago?In this episode of Clean Power Hour, Tim Montague sits down with Zaid Ashai, CEO of Nexamp, the nation's largest community solar developer, to discuss community solar, battery storage, grid modernization, and why policy certainty is essential to building a cleaner, more reliable, and more affordable energy system.Nexamp operates across 19 states and has become one of the leading developers of community solar, distributed generation, utility-scale solar, and battery storage. The conversation centers on the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act, Illinois' new storage law that targets 3,000 megawatts of storage by the end of 2030, with the first procurement round set for August 2026 and two more rounds to follow in 2027 and 2028. Ashai lays out why In this episode, you'll learn:Why America's electric grid needs modernization How community solar benefits homeowners, renters, businesses, and utilities Why the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act uses an indexed storage credit contract instead of a merchant revenue model How storage unlocks additional generation capacity without new transmission and distribution buildout What a Massachusetts ISO study found about grid size when storage is left out of the equation Why Illinois requires 14 percent of a participating project's workforce to be equity eligible How Nexamp's renewable energy fellowship with City Colleges of Chicago grew from 20 students toward a projected 80 by year-end Why affordable clean energy starts with predictable regulation How flexible interconnection and curtailment could unlock more capacity on the existing grid Which states Nexamp is watching next for community solar and storage growth, including Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, Maryland, and PennsylvaniaIf you work in solar, battery storage, utilities, project development, energy policy, grid modernization, or renewable energy investing, this episode offers practical insights into where the industry is headed next.The first Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (CRGA) procurement round opens in August 2026, with two more rounds following in 2027 and 2028, so the pricing structure Ashai describes will shape Illinois storage economics for years. Illinois already holds the only B grade on the Institute for Local Self-Reliance Community Power Scorecard, ahead of New York, Massachusetts, and California, at a moment when federal support for clean energy programs is pulling back. For developers and investors watching how states balance affordability, reliability, and equity, Illinois is currently the clearest test case in the country.About Zaid AshaiZaid Ashai is the CEO of Nexamp, the largest community solar developer in the United States. Under his leadership, Nexamp has expanded into battery storage, utility-scale solar, and integrated clean energy solutions across 19 states.

Douglas Adams, famous English author, quipped: "You live and learn. At any rate, you live."Sometimes we assume that we live and learn but, if we're honest, we know that's not true. We have to put faith and energy into it. And what do we call it when faith, energy, and living meet circumstances beyond our control? A test. Nobody - not Christians, atheists, or mole-people - like testing. But testing is a gift! And our Lord's testing? It was a gift to us - not just as an example in discipleship, but the whole world to see that he is absolutely in control. Are you going through a struggle? Join us in this week's podcast as guest speaker, and Grace Youth Pastor, Ryan Balderrama talks about Life off the Grid!⚠️

Prolific serial killer, Israel Keyes, is often remembered for the murder that led to his capture in Alaska. But years before his arrest, he lived on Washington's remote Olympic Peninsula, worked in Neah Bay, and, according to the FBI, may have murdered several unidentified victims whose names remain unknown. In this episode of Crime Off the Grid, we explored the lesser-known chapter of the Israel Keyes story. We follow his years on the Olympic Peninsula, including the suspected victim hidden beneath Lake Crescent in Olympic National Park, and separated verified facts from internet myths. We also look at Keyes' meticulous planning, his infamous "kill kits," and the haunting blood-drawn skulls discovered after his death.Could some of Israel Keyes' victims still be hidden in America's public lands? More than a decade later, that mystery remains unsolved.Sources:Alaska Serial Killer Attended Racist Church, Knew Terrorists Israel Keyes: Biography, Serial Killer, Murderer, CriminalIsrael Keyes - Wikipedia https://murderpedia.org/male.K/k/keyes-israel.htmIsrael Keyes: Writings — FBIWhat do skulls drawn in Israel Keyes' blood mean? - CBS NewsSupport the show!For bonus content join our Patreon!patreon.com/CrimeOfftheGridFor a one time donation:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cotgFor more information about the podcast, check outhttps://crimeoffthegrid.com/Check out our Merch!!  https://in-wild-places.square.site/s/shopFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/crimeoffthegridpodcast/ and  (1) Facebook

Australia's electricity networks are entering a new era. As rooftop solar, battery storage and electric vehicles demand reshape the grid, the role of distribution networks is changing from simply delivering electricity to actively enabling a smarter, more resilient and affordable energy system.  For the third episode of our Deep Dive Australia series, Michael sits down with Marc England, CEO of Ausgrid, one of Australia's largest electricity distribution businesses, to explore what that transformation looks like in practice. Ausgrid is responsible for supplying electricity to millions of customers across Sydney, the Central Coast and the Hunter Region in New South Wales. Marc reflects on how networks have to become intelligent, flexible and community-focused while balancing commercial realities with public service. He shares how distribution companies like his are adapting to an increasingly decentralised electricity system, where balancing reliability, affordability and customer expectations has never been more complex. From the growing role of battery storage and managing unpredictable energy flows, to supporting the rapid rise of data centres and preparing for extreme weather events, he explains why networks will play a critical role in delivering a successful net zero future.  Also, Michael travels inside the electricity tunnels beneath Sydney, to see how Ausgrid has built a resilient electricity system for Australia's financial capital. Topics Include: The evolving role of electricity distribution networks Balancing commercial success with community responsibility Battery storage and building a more flexible grid Managing the rise of rooftop solar and distributed energy resources Preparing for growing electricity demand and data centres Building resilience for extreme weather and changing energy patterns Leading innovation through Australia's energy transition Leadership Circle: Cleaning Up is proud to be supported by its Leadership Circle.

The Metaphysical Hour with Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan and Question Master Tiffanny Clearing the Old Life, Lighting the Grid, and Remembering the Game A Return to the Metaphysical Hour and the Energy of Clearing In this episode of The Metaphysical Hour, Julia Cannon, Tracie Mahan, and question moderator Tiffany welcome listeners back after the Fourth of July holiday and invite the audience to share locations, ask questions, and “shine their light” into the energetic grid. The early conversation centers on Tracie's upcoming move and the powerful clearing process that comes with sorting through years of belongings. Her experience becomes a metaphor for the wider collective energy: releasing old patterns, downsizing what no longer fits, and stepping into a new version of the self. Saying Goodbye to a House and Letting Energy Move Julia shares a personal memory of needing to say goodbye to a house before it would sell, explaining that she and Tiffany once sat with a home, thanked it, released it, and soon afterward the house sold. This leads Tracie to consider doing a similar family ceremony before leaving her current home. The hosts discuss how homes, belongings, and life chapters can hold energy, and how consciously thanking and releasing those spaces may help both people and places move forward. The conversation connects practical moving advice with spiritual closure, gratitude, and energetic release. Santa Fe, QHHT, and the Global Grid of Listeners The hosts then talk about the upcoming QHHT retreat in Santa Fe, New Mexico, scheduled for September 3–7, and mention the discount code 5D Love through QHHTOfficial.com. They also discuss recording an episode of The Metaphysical Hour during the retreat. Tiffany reads audience locations from across the United States and around the world, including Canada, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Norway, Iran, and more. Julia and Tracie encourage listeners to imagine lights rising from all those places, connecting into a global energetic grid. Reframing Words, Beliefs, and Personal Power The first audience question asks how to finish cleansing energy that “keeps me at bay.” Julia and Tracie use the wording itself as the teaching point, explaining that the phrase gives power to something external and may reinforce the belief that something is blocking progress. They encourage reframing language toward forward motion, such as asking what would best support the desired outcome or using the phrase “Wouldn't it be wonderful if...” The hosts emphasize that words and thoughts shape energy, and that changing language can change the energetic structure around a situation. Reincarnation, Belief Systems, and Gameboard Earth Another listener asks where she will reincarnate and whether she will remember the awakening and knowledge gained in this life. Julia and Tracie explain that after death, a soul's experience is shaped by its belief system, at least at first, and that guides remain available when the soul is ready to move on. They connect this to Dolores Cannon's work, the idea that souls come to Earth for experience, and Julia's “Gameboard Earth” teaching. Earth is described as a challenging game for advanced souls, where forgetting, duality, awakening, and eventual recognition of one's creative role are all part of the experience. Thoughts, Memories, Signs, and Continuing Bonds The next questions focus on disturbing memories, fear of repetition, and signs from a recently passed sister. Julia and Tracie suggest that recurring memories can be met with love, forgiveness, self-compassion, and recognition that old patterns may be showing where boundaries or healing are needed. For the listener grieving her sister, they explain that very close loved ones may feel so familiar that their presence is easy to miss, and that dreams or requested signs can become ways of communicating. Tracie shares her own “chocolate chip cookie” sign story and a yellow-rose sign connected to her aunt, illustrating how loved ones may use recognizable symbols to reassure the living. Soul Speak, Fifth Dimension, and Releasing Judgment The final portion addresses Julia's updated Soul Speak learning platform and a question about physically shifting into the fifth dimension. Julia explains, consistent with Dolores Cannon's teachings, that the body is changing and becoming lighter as frequency rises, and that people shift at their own pace. The hosts caution against judging who is “awake” or “not awake,” saying everyone is exactly where they need to be on their journey. They close by emphasizing self-reflection, releasing fear and judgment, recognizing others as mirrors, and simply “doing you” as the best way to model transformation for others.

Grid operators sit at the center of many of the biggest forces reshaping the global energy system. They're navigating rising electricity demand, a lack of transmission infrastructure, shifting regulatory policies, and maintaining the tricky balance between affordability, reliability, and the need for dispatchable power.  Both here in the US and around the world, operating a reliable and resilient grid—in the face of increasingly severe weather and complex interconnection demands—is more difficult than ever. And these challenges are felt well outside the power sector. Spiking utility rates in some regions have turned electricity into a major political issue. So, what does the future of grid planning tell us about the ultimate pace of the energy transition? How can system operators manage the surge in demand from AI and data centers without compromising reliability? And how can open-source grid planning tools help both developed and developing markets build a flexible power system for the next 30 to 50 years? Today on the show, Jason Bordoff speaks to Alice Yake about the opportunities but also the challenges in building cleaner electrical grids. Alice is vice president of GRIDS at Breakthrough Energy, where she leads a team focused on the development of an open-source grid planning ecosystem designed to make energy system modeling transparent, accessible, and trustworthy. Previously, she spent 14 years at the utility Xcel Energy, where she rose to chief planning officer. Before that, she worked for the oil and gas company Occidental. She started her career at Enron. And for more about the Center on Global Energy Policy's work on electricity affordability, read here. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless.

The guys kick off the Fourth of July week by arguing that high agency culture is still America's edge, then dive into why AI is officially too big to fail. Marty and John break down FERC forcing grid operators to fast track data center connections, OpenAI floating a five percent stake to the Trump administration, and Marc Andreessen landing on the Pentagon's defense policy board. They also dig into the memory bottleneck squeezing the chip buildout, why frontier models are not getting commoditized by open source, and what Saudi oil flows back at ninety percent mean for Iran's leverage. To close, they look at Trump's fifty million dollar Bitcoin stash, Strategy selling coin to fund dividends, and whether Washington might already be building a strategic position through the public markets.

In this powerful Freedom 250 panel on America's 250th anniversary, Chad sits down with Tommy Waller (former Force Recon Commander & President of Center for Security Policy) and Jonathan Hollerman (Air Force SERE Specialist, Grid Expert & bestselling author) to expose the shocking vulnerabilities of the U.S. electric grid.They break down:• Why a grid-down scenario could kill up to 90% of Americans within one year• The 4 major threats: Physical attacks (9-12 sites could black out the nation), Cyber, EMP (nuclear or solar flare), and supply chain infiltration• Chinese transformers with potential kill switches already in our grid• Self-inflicted policy wounds and what the Trump administration is doing• Real-world lessons from Ukraine and how civilians are now on the front linesThis isn't fear-mongering — it's a solvable problem. Learn what individuals, families, and We the People can do right now to push for real solutions and build personal resilience.
