The latest film in the Tron franchise, Tron: Ares, expands that world's sonic pallet in dramatic ways. The music by Nine Inch Nails is huge, the sound design is grittier and the dialog is being processed in creative and constantly changing ways. This film benefited from an international sound team, collaborating together. Re-Recording Mixer Ron Bartlett & Supervising Sound Editor Addison Teague, both based in California, shared duties with Supervising Sound Editor Baard Ingebretsen and Sound Designer/Re-Recording Mixer/Supervising Sound Editor Tormod Ringnes, who are working out of Oslo, Norway. Bringing these two teams together became a great strength for the sound of the film as a whole. They discuss merging the sounds of the real world with "The Grid", building light cycle sounds from scratch, the detailed process of finding exactly the right amount of dialog processing when digitizing the human voice and lots more.________ SPONSORS: Sound Ideas is closing out the year with a massive Year-End Sale, and you're invited!

Courtenay Turner & Dr. Lee Merritt Decode the Coming 6G Rollout, EMF Dangers, and Ways to Protect Your Health & Freedom ***Note: Just days after this livestream, Trump issued a Presidential Memorandum, “Winning The 6G Race”, directing orders of implementation to the members of the Cabinet, stating “This technology will play a pivotal role in the development and adoption of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and implantable technologies.”*** In this urgent end-of-year episode of Dangerous Dames, hosts Courtenay Turner and Dr. Lee Merritt ring out 2025 with a no-holds-barred look at 6G—the wireless leap that promises holographic calls, AI-native networks, and seamless biodigital convergence… but at what cost? From Trump's enthusiastic push for U.S. 6G leadership (while misunderstanding its skin-penetrating "deeper view") to the FCC's fast-track rules stripping local oversight, the Dames expose how terahertz waves, energy harvesting from the human body, and "internet of bio-nano things" could turn us into hackable nodes in a global grid. Dr. Merritt breaks down the medical red flags: non-thermal DNA damage, brain warfare tech, pulsed signals biologically far worse than 5G, and why your body is electromagnetic—not just biologic. Courtenay reveals the technocratic blueprint: tokenized everything, precision agriculture, biodigital convergence (straight from Canada's Policy Horizons), and the quiet march toward a "nosphere" control system where humans power the grid. But it's not all doom: practical steps to shield yourself, reduce exposure, and reclaim electromagnetic sovereignty. Too hot for YouTube.

Solar is finally getting smarter. And faster - thanks to…robots?Recorded live at RE+ 2025, this episode takes you behind the scenes of solar's most advanced innovations — from automation in engineering to AI-driven O&M and digital twins. Hosts Amy Norstedt and Josh Beck sit down with some of the Industry's most forward-thinking executives to talk real-time transformation across the project lifecycle.Featured in this episode:Tyler Nelson, CEO at Revamp's outlines how their new software suite (proven on >15% of all new solar built in the US last year!) is facilitating faster project executionMatt Campbell, CEO of Terabase, shares that on-site solar robotics is real, and finally, it's here,Derek Chase, CEO of OnSight Technologies (Now part of Nextpower) revelas how robotic/ai site inspection is a gamechanger for asset management, and finallyHugh Scott, CTO at Flexgen covers how battery dispatch control is smoothing the grid and making assets more reliableExpect to learn:

Picture this… you're in a quiet room. There's no hum, no appliances, no HVAC fans and blowers…. just…. silence. It's almost imperceptible… you've had a long day at work and just want some peace and quiet before the children get home or the spouse get s home and you almost miss it. The refrigerator stops humming. The air conditioner cuts out. Your phone won't connect. You check the breaker panel — everything looks normal. Then you step outside. Your neighbors are standing in their driveways, confused. Cars won't start. The radio is dead. The entire horizon is dark.  And yet, there have been no alerts, No explanation…. There's just… silence. And in that silence, a realization settles in: The grid is down and you know it's not going to be down for minutes or hours… but for good. ---------- Today we're starting with the backbone of modern civilization: the electrical grid.  It's the system that powers everything — water, fuel, food distribution, hospitals, communications, transportation, and the economy itself. And it's also one of the most fragile, aging, and over‑stressed systems in the United States. This episode is about how the grid can fail, why it's more vulnerable than most people realize, and what life looks like when the lights go out and don't come back on. Let's get into it.

Is there a new space race to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon? This week on Ninjas Are Butterflies, we dig into reports claiming just that, as well as a disturbing missing child case near Dracula's castle, and claims of a CIA-backed digital network designed to monitor and control more than we're told. Episode 173 connects Cold War energy, modern surveillance, and old-world darkness—because of course it does. We break down why the Moon suddenly needs nuclear power, and who's racing to get there first. The eerie disappearance near Romania's most infamous landmark, and allegations of a hidden digital control grid—and how deep it might go.

Our energy grid is something most of us only think about when it isn't working. But growing demand for electricity is placing an even greater strain on a system that's already facing increased pressure from extreme weather events. Can we build a more sustainable and dependable grid? In this episode, which originally aired September 2022, we explore how when it comes to climate change the challenge of greening the grid is as much an issue of complex engineering as it is about policy and equity. Featured in this episode:Josh Wong is the former CEO of Opus One Solutions, which was acquired by General Electric. In 2024, Josh founded a new company called ThinkLabsAI and is developing software that will help utilities to integrate renewable sources of energy and improve grid resilience.Destenie Nock is an assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon University who specializes in public policy, civil and environmental engineering. She's an expert on how our changing climate is impacting the grid, and what that means for the future. Focusing on energy equity, Destenie explains what's important to consider in our transition to clean energy.Dana Tizya-Tramm is the former chief of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation in Old Crow, Yukon. Dana helped establish the Old Crow Solar Project — shifting the northern remote community off diesel to renewables. Through his efforts, Old Crow is making inroads toward energy sovereignty. He is now the director of Nadlii and is working on developing a framework for Indigenous data sovereignty and ethical AI.Further reading: 2021 placed exceptional demands on electricity markets around the worldRenewable Energy Is Great—but the Grid Can Slow It DownGlobal heat waves are so bad that utilities are paying their customers to use less energy“Nation-building” investments in electricity grid needed to reach net-zero, experts sayHow Old Crow's solar farm is changing green energy projects in Yukon | CBC NewsSubscribe to Solve for X: Innovations to Change the World here Solve for X is brought to you by MaRS, North America's largest urban innovation hub and a registered charity.

What would happen if a coordinated cyber and physical attack disrupted the systems that power daily life—not just power plants, but data centers, pipelines, and communications? Cyber and physical threats to the electric grid are growing more advanced, more frequent, and harder to detect. The impacts can ripple far beyond the energy sector, affecting communities, public safety, and the broader economy. From sophisticated phishing to copper theft from power plants, competitive power suppliers, grid operators, and utilities must stay prepared. In this episode of Energy Solutions, EPSA President and CEO Todd Snitchler sits down with one of the nation's top grid security leaders to unpack today's threat landscape and what it takes to strengthen the power system. Michael Ball is Senior Vice President of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and CEO of the Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center (E-ISAC). They discuss the rising role of AI in cyberattacks, how adversaries target industrial control systems, and why information sharing across the energy sector is essential. They also cover insights from the recent national GridEx VIII exercise—as well as a new “Grid-Ex-in-a-Box" drill EPSA customized for member companies this November in Houston—and explore how competitive power suppliers can get prepared before a real crisis hits. Topics include: How cyber threats have become constant and increasingly sophisticated, The rise of almost autonomous AI-enabled cyberattacks, Physical security risks including vandalism, copper theft, and drone activity at power plants, How adversaries target industrial control systems with advanced toolkits,  The critical role of information sharing across competitive power suppliers, utilities, and government partners, What the E-ISAC does and how it supports industry-wide situational awareness, Key insights from GridEx VIII, The importance of resilient communications strategies and updated playbooks,  And what competitive power suppliers and utilities should focus on heading into 2026. Host: Todd Snitchler, President and CEO, EPSA Guest: Michael Ball, senior vice president, NERC, CEO, E-ISAC   Liked this episode?

What happens when the power goes out—and it's not an accident?In recent years, attacks on our nation's critical infrastructure have revealed just how fragile these modern systems we all rely on really are. When infrastructure fails, the effects cascade fast: hospitals strain, medical devices stop working, fuel pumps go offline, and public safety degrades. Civilians often suffer the most, even though they play no role in protecting these systems.In this episode, we examine real attacks on the U.S. power grid, what actually happened on the ground, how some plots were detected and stopped, and what these incidents reveal about risk, preparedness, and resilience.We'll also explore what you can realistically do—without paranoia or vigilantism—to recognize warning signs, respond during outages, and reduce second-order effects when systems fail.So, pull up a chair and sit a spell as we talk about When the Grid Fails: Lessons from Real Attacks Nation's Infrastructure.Resources:Learn about DHS' National Infrastructure Protection PlanBaltimore Substation Plot 2022DOJ Press Release on the Washington State AttackAdditional news stories here and hereSupport the showGet Members Only Content when you upgrade to a premium membership on our Substack page.

Electricity users will face price increases next year of up to €1.75 per month on bills to pay for a major upgrade to the national grid, which could cost almost €19bn. Jerry spoke to Dr. Paul Deane, who is a senior lecturer in clean energy futures at University College Cork (UCC) and a researcher at the MaREI Centre for Energy, Climate and Marine.

Tell us what you think of the show! Transforming the grid to meet skyrocketing energy demand isn't just about switching generation sources but is instead about fundamentally redesigning the entire energy market. It's going to require unlocking the true potential of every Distributed Energy Resources (DER) that we have, and integrating them seamlessly into a complex, resilient system. That's easy to say but exceptionally complicated to do logistically and in a way that makes sense for a given market, which is why we wanted to talk with someone who isn't just supporting this transformation, but is also actively working with utilities to better understand what's happening at the grid edge to make informed decisions. Jo-Jo Hubbard is the Co-founder and CEO of Electron, which helps network utilities and grid operators adopt and scale flexibility markets to manage grid congestion, improve connection rates, and lower bills. Among other things, we discuss:Why utilities need to shift from a static view of the distribution grid to a real-time, dynamic modelHow smart coordination of DERs creates a resilient and efficient gridWhat it means to make DER orchestration simpler and more compelling to utilitiesHow tiny efficiencies can lead to billions in savings at scale.The single biggest lesson learned that utilities need to have top of mind when designing their own DER aggregation and dispatch programsWant to make a suggestion for an upcoming episode?

The oil and gas industry is facing an unprecedented challenge: the electrical grid cannot keep pace with its soaring power demands. As drilling operations expand and electrification accelerates, grid capacity in key regions like the Permian Basin is being stretched to its limits. This imbalance threatens production timelines, operational reliability, and long-term growth. In this episode, we sit down with Caterpillar to explore why power demand is outstripping supply, the implications for oil and gas companies, and the strategies being deployed to bridge the gap. From leveraging natural gas for on-site generation to navigating competition with other industries, we'll uncover practical solutions and future outlooks. Join us as we discuss how companies can secure resilient power infrastructure and maintain momentum in an increasingly energy-constrained environment.To watch the video, click here.

Wasif Latif, Co-Founder, President & Chief Investment Officer at Sarmaya Partners, stops by the Energy News Beat and Energy Impacts Podcasts - With Stu Turley, and David Blackmon for an in-depth look at the global oil and gas financial markets. 1. The performance and investment strategy of the Sarmaya Partners ETF called "Lens". Wasif Latif, the co-founder and CIO of Sarmaya Partners, discusses how the Lens ETF has performed very well since its launch, up over 50%, by investing in stocks and commodities related to the "return to tangibles" investment theme.2. The outlook for the energy and commodities markets, including oil, natural gas, copper, and precious metals like gold and silver. Latif believes there is a looming supply deficit in these commodities due to underinvestment, which will lead to higher prices in the coming years.3. The challenges and limitations of the renewable energy transition, particularly the reliance on technologies like lithium-ion batteries that have significant constraints. Latif argues the transition to renewable energy will take much longer than commonly projected.4. The geopolitical tensions and supply disruptions impacting energy and commodity markets, such as the recent incidents involving tankers and oil platforms. Latif discusses how these short-term events are often "noise" that don't change the underlying supply and demand fundamentals.5.

AI is pushing the grid to its limits — and transformers are now the critical path for both data centers and renewable projects.Today's guest, Doug Banty, EVP at Forgent (and former CEO of MGM Transformers), sits at the intersection of these two worlds. Half of his week at RE+ was spent across the strip at the Yotta data center conference, where the only topic on everyone's mind was power. In this episode, Doug explains how AI-driven rack density is rewriting the entire powertrain, why hyperscalers are treating speed like an existential priority, and what this means for developers trying to keep pace.He also breaks down the industrial logic behind Forgent — a merger of MGM, VanTran, States, and PowerCube — and how integrated solutions are becoming essential for execution in an era where timelines matter more than price.Expect to learn: ⚡ Why data centers are moving at crisis-level urgency ⚡ The difference between power and distribution transformers ⚡ What MGM's 500,000 sq ft Waco factory means for lead times ⚡ How Forgent reduces execution risk through integrated packages ⚡ The single most effective way developers can avoid delaysHit play — and see what the future of the grid really looks like.

Today is C1E100 for Theme Thursday, Dec 11th, 2025. Today is our final non-retrospective episode of Channel 1. We made it to 100! Today's episode is split into two halves: a) a massive pre-show that is actually about 18 minutes LONGER than the “episode proper”, and b) the “episode proper”. The theme for both are end credits and ending sequence music, on a program we're calling “Now Go and Rest our Heroes!”     Tracklist:      Track Number (or letter) - Track - Game - System(s) - Composer(s) - Timestamp        A - Earcatcher and Talking Portion 1 of 3 - 00:00:00        Mini-block 1:     B - Ending - Golden Axe Warrior - Master System - Chikako Kamtani - 00:13:08     C - Ending - Gunstar Heroes - Genesis - Norio Hanzawa - 00:15:09     D - Ending - Strider - Genesis - c: Junko Tamiya / a: Tadahiko Inoue - 00:18:42     E - Credits - Rayman - PS1/Saturn - Stéphane Bellanger, Didier Lord, Sylvain-Luc Brunet, Nathalie Drouet, Dominique Dumont, Kamel Founas, Rémi Gazel, Didier Gilbert Leglise, Jean-Marc Lichtmann, Frédéric Louvre, Olivier Mortier, Frédéric Prados, Stéphane Ronse, René De Wael, and/or Olaf Zalcman - 00:20:03     F - Credits - Hotel Mario - CD-i - Jack Levy - 00:21:08     G - Credits - Wii Fit - Wii - Toru Minegishi, Manaka Kataoka, and/or Shiho Fujii - 00:21:58     H - Fear of a Blank Planet - Control - Multiplatform - Porcupine Tree - 00:24:01     I - Ending - Legendary Axe II - TG16 - Hirotoshi Suzuki - 00:31:11     J - Ending Theme - Street Fighter 2010 - NES - Junko Tamiya - 00:34:22     K - To Far Away Times - Chrono Trigger - SNES - Yasunori Mitsuda and/or Nobuo Uematsu - 00:36:25     L - An Ending - Undertale - Multiplatform - Toby Fox - 00:40:41     M - Ending Theme - Final Fantasy X - PS2 - Nobuo Uematsu - 00:44:03     N - End Credits - Cloudpunk - Multiplatform - Harry Critchley - 00:49:25     O - End Credits - Cyberpunk 2077 - Multiplatform - Marcin Przybyłowicz, P.T.

The Oregon Department of Energy, or ODOE, recently published its Oregon Energy Strategy which centers on “decarbonization” by eliminating the generation of fossil fuels in Oregon.ODOE director Janine Benner told the legislature, “It's not a matter of when the energy transition from fossil fuels will occur; It's already happening.”If so, It's proceeding at glacial speed. ODOE's webpage on Oregon's electricity supply shows that, between 2012 and 2024, fossil fuels remain the dominant source of electricity. It's true that wind and solar grew to 11 percent, but only after hundreds of millions in subsidies.What's most concerning today is the reality that wind and solar are intermittent. For engineering reasons, both the supply of and demand for electricity must always be in equilibrium. Sudden drops caused by weather could lead to blackouts.Grid operators need “dispatchable” energy sources. Wind and solar are not dispatchable, making them unsuited for the utility grid—and for the coming century.The energy transition isn't happening because it can't happen. Decarbonization conflicts with the demands of a modern economy. Shutting down coal and gas plants and ending fossil fuel sales would transport us back to the nineteenth century. Oregon's political leaders have embraced energy poverty at a time when electricity demand is skyrocketing. The fuels needed to power new data centers and electric vehicles are nuclear, coal, gas and hydro—none of which are planned to increase in Oregon due to regulations.Welcome to the nineteenth century. Stock up on candles.For the full commentary visit www.cascadepolicy.org

California is often described as the state where you can see the future of the US, and of the world. That has certainly been true in terms of some of the problems faced by the electricity grid. California has been grappling with the impact of wildfires and a big shift to renewable generation, and now faces the prospect of rising power demand from electrification and data centers.In this episode, host Ed Crooks and regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe of NYU talk to Elliot Mainzer, President and CEO of the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), to dig into how the state is tackling those challenges.California's electricity prices have nearly doubled in eight years, rising to about 32 cents per kilowatt hour for residential customers. Affordability has become a political flashpoint, as it has in many other parts of the US, and other countries around the world. Elliot explains how CAISO is using reforms of transmission planning and interconnection queues to help “bend the cost curve” downwards.The discussion also covers an important shift that is now under way in western power markets. Governor Gavin Newsom of California recently signed AB 825, advancing an independent regional governance structure for the emerging extended day-ahead market. Elliot outlines how implementing the new law could change reliability, capacity planning, and resource adequacy across 11 states.Another pressure point is AI, and the data centers needed to support it. While large load growth in California is more modest than in some other states such as Texas or Virginia, the state still expects 2.3 gigawatts of new data center demand by 2030. Ed and Amy question how much flexibility these data centers can provide, whether price pressure is pushing hyperscalers elsewhere in the US, and how CAISO will manage the all-important issues around siting and grid integration.The episode also dives into one of California's most contentious debates: the role for distributed energy resources and virtual power plants. Elliot discusses what CAISO can see, what it can't, and what needs to change for DERs to support affordability and reliability—while highlighting the remarkable performance of the state's battery fleet in avoiding Flex Alerts for the past three summers.Finally, the conversation looks ahead to California's longer-term energy future. The state has set an ambitious energy goals, including sourcing all its electricity from zero-ccarbon generation by 2045. To achieve that, many gigawatts of new renewables are still required, and wide-area coordination across the western US will have to live up to its full potential. As Elliot puts it, managing this grid is challenging, but “the challenge is energizing.”Stay tuned to The Energy Gang as we continue tracking the forces that are reshaping the power industry, from technology and finance to policy and climate.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This Day in Maine for Tuesday, December 9, 2025.

In this episode of the Third Eye Awakening podcast, I'm sitting down with Emily Barzin! Emily has graciously agreed to share her personal Akashic Records Readings on the podcast and I am so excited to share it with you!A natural-born truth seeker, Emily Leona Barzin is a multidimensional healer and spiritual therapist with over two decades of experience in both hands-on and distance energy work.As a clear channel for Integrated Energy Therapy®, and the Aushic and Akashic realms, she shifts energy with balance, precision and purpose — holding space for the remembrance of your soul's original blueprint, the activation of the 12-strand DNA, and the realignment of timelines, lifetimes, ancestral lines, and multidimensional layers of the self.Emily's work isn't for the superficial. Her energy calls to those who've walked through fire — who are ready to go deeper, reclaim what's been buried, and return to the truth of who they are.She is, without question, a healer's healer.A lifelong horsewoman, Emily offers a rare and powerful form of healing for horse owners — a unique extension of her soul work.She tracks physical or behavioral patterns expressed in the horse back to unprocessed emotions or energetic imbalances within the human. By bridging the two, she holds space for deep, transformational healing to occur on both sides of the bond. In addition to this mirrored work, Emily also offers direct energy healing and bodywork for horses themselves, incorporating Integrated Energy Therapy® to support the animal's emotional, physical, and energetic alignment as an individual being.Emily also supports clients in clearing energetic imbalances within their homes and land.Formally certified in Feng Shui, she recognizes that the external environment is never separate from the internal state — the home is often a reflection of the client's karmic story. When healing or progress stalls, it's frequently due to stagnant energies or disruptive entities within the earth or built space. She works to clear these distortions while helping the client understand why they were there to begin with.In Emily's Akashic Records, we dive into:-understanding financial and relational challenges in healing-relationships, money, and divine counterparts-navigating family challenges and financial stress-understanding healing as a priority-business structure and client engagement in healing practices…and so much more!CONNECT WITH EMILYInnate AwakeningLINKS MENTIONEDFREE F*ck the False Matrix MasterclassGet into the Mystery Offer while it's still 50% off!!Join my FREE private FB group Soul Space

“Speed to Power” is the new race — but can the grid keep up?Hyperscalers, AI, and industrial demand are pushing load growth from flat to vertical. Yet most projects still take five to seven years just to interconnect.That's the bottleneck Hugo Mena is tackling as Chief Growth Officer at Electric Power Engineers (EPE).This live conversation addresses the forces shaping the grid of the future — and what it'll actually take to deliver power at the speed innovation demands. Hugo shares how developers, utilities, and data centers can collaborate to unlock speed to power without sacrificing reliability or long-term vision.Expect to learn:

2025 has been a year of firsts for Laura Mueller and Esteban Ocon. For Laura, it's her first season as a race engineer. For Esteban, it's his first season with Haas. And it's their first time working with each other. So how are they finding it? What do they need from one another to get the best out of each other? And how do they communicate in and out of the car? Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Laura and Esteban take us inside their first year working together and how the relationship between a race engineer and an F1 driver works. They provide fascinating insight into how they talk to each other on team radio – explaining when the right time to speak during a lap is, how often they should speak and why that can change in different scenarios. Laura and Esteban also reflect on the highs and lows of this year – including how they bounced back from a challenging season-opener in Melbourne to score points in China the week after. And you'll hear all about Laura's path to becoming F1's first female race engineer and the childhood hero who inspired this journey.

He breaks down how the U.S. has been pushed toward “energy suicide,” what the Trump administration is changing, and the one threat absolutely guaranteed to hit us: a catastrophic solar storm.On today's Flyover Conservatives Show, we sat down with Lt.
