Glenn Wiggle sits down for a one-on-one interview with Rensselaer County Executive Steve McLaughlin, who walks through the dueling lawsuits between his county and Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James over the 287(g) immigration program. McLaughlin explains that Rensselaer participates in the jail enforcement model, running people already arrested and remanded through a federal database rather than conducting street-level civil enforcement, and argues Hochul's own public statements undercut the state's case. The two also discuss voter ID and the SAVE Act, McLaughlin's frustration with Senate Republicans on the issue, and New York's moratorium on data centers, which he opposes while making the case that the state's aging grid and its long resistance to nuclear power left it unprepared. McLaughlin details his record in Rensselaer County, including a 9.1% tax cut for 2026, roughly a 49% reduction since 2019, 330 miles of repaved county roads, four new senior centers, and reserves that grew from $20 million to $100 million without cutting services. The conversation closes with his take on Bruce Blakeman's gubernatorial prospects, why he blocked a proposed Waymo pilot program in his county, and how autonomous vehicles compare between Waymo and Tesla.00:00:00 - Intro00:00:14 - Dueling Lawsuits Over 287(g)00:06:28 - Immigration, Voters, and the Media00:11:25 - Voter ID and the SAVE Act00:13:21 - Data Centers, the Grid, and Nuclear00:21:02 - Cutting Taxes in Rensselaer County00:26:09 - What He'd Do in Erie County00:31:23 - Blakeman's Run and Election Integrity00:36:24 - Waymo, Tesla, and Self-Driving Cars

In the AI revolution, one of the critical constraints is how much additional electricity can be made available to power new data centers. And it is often argued that one of the key constraints on the growth of electricity supply is capacity in the equipment supply industry. The rate at which electricity supply can grow is determined in part by how fast the equipment industry can supply new turbines, transformers, switchgear and circuit breakers.In this episode Roger Martella, Chief Corporate Officer and Chief Sustainability Officer at GE Vernova, one of the world's largest suppliers of electrical equipment, joins the show to explain how the company is meeting the challenge of soaring demand. Roger talks to host Ed Crooks and regular contributor Melissa Lott, Partner for Energy at Microsoft, about his route from industrial Pennsylvania to the leadership team at GE, via the Environmental Protection Agency. And he explains why, when the old conglomerate GE broke up, he chose to go with the energy business. The company is driven by a sense of purpose, he says: bringing electricity to the world both raises living standards and supports decarbonization.Electricity demand growth created by new data centers for AI is one driver for GE Vernova's rapidly growing order book, but not the only one. The company is also responding to other sources of growing demand around the world, including the need to strengthen energy security in Europe and to support economic growth and development in emerging Asia.In the US, GE Vernova has announced $1.3 billion in investment and 1,800 new manufacturing jobs, to support expanded production of switchgear, circuit breakers and turbines. It plans to increase its turbine manufacturing capacity from 18 gigawatts a year to 30 gigawatts a year by 2030.Roger rejects the idea that equipment supplies are the main bottleneck restricting electricity supply growth. Other issues, including permitting and grid interconnections, are more fundamental difficulties for project developers. If anyone has built a turbine stand, but doesn't have a turbine to out on it, he says, he will find a turbine. Ed raises the issue of the industry's cyclicality. The gas turbine market has been through boom and bust in the past, and the uncertainty over the future of AI naturally raises the question of whether we are in another bubble today. Roger's answer is that the company is looking at the range of needs that are driving electrification, not making a bet solely on AI.As its production increases, GE Vernova needs to hire more workers. Roger, Ed and Melissa discuss the familiar consensus around skilled trades. Just about everyone agrees that America and other countries need more electricians, plumbers and welders to deloiver the build-out of infrastructure. But skills shortages persist. So what are the solutions that would actually increase the workforce in these sectors to meet demand? Are pay, job security, training and the status of industrial work being addressed in the right ways?One of the more exciting technologies for meeting electricity demand in the 2030s and beyond is the new generation of nuclear plants using small modular reactors (SMRs). GE Vernova has a new nuclear plant using SMRs under construction at Darlington in Ontario, and is targeting commercial operation by 2030. Ed pushes on the key question: can SMRs move from a promising concept to a repeatable, cost-competitive business? Roger says the first project has to be a proof point. The nuclear business cannot be run as a hobby, he says. The lessons from the first-of-a-kind Darlington plant must be used to drive down costs for subsequent units.The discussion also covers High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission and cutting-edge technologies for grid management, including uses for drones and AI. Roger ends with a message to policymakers: the missing ingredient is policy durability. If the industry is to invest enough to meet long-term needs, it has to have policy frameworks that survive political cycles, court challenges and changes of administration.This episode of Energy Gang is brought to you by ENGIE, the smarter energy supplier.

Ep 146: Your Customers Are Doing Economics Whether You Are or Not with Dr. Kristi-Warren Scott Bishop of Verity ConsultingPart of noseyAF's 31 Days of Black Business series

Tell us what you think of the show! Modern grid management is about much more than routine efficiency. Utility teams are under pressure to enable proactive wildfire mitigation, rapid storm response, and continuous oversight across thousands of miles of aging infrastructure, but maintaining and scaling these tasks can be a major challenge when teams are constrained by traditional field inspection methods that are slow, expensive, and visually limited. How are autonomous, long-range drone platforms and Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations transforming grid monitoring across massive service territories? And what does it actually take to deploy and scale these capabilities?Trevor Perrott, CEO and Co-Founder of Censys Technologies, sat down with us to answer those questions and more. He breaks down the operational realities of moving from reactive maintenance to predictive asset management, explores how utilities can achieve "asset omniscience" to protect critical infrastructure, and outlines strategies for turning massive aerial datasets into actionable intelligence. Perrott also outlines how to navigate ever-evolving FAA regulations, what approaches are being used to scale pilot programs into high-ROI enterprise deployments, and more. Energy policy on your mind?

Ep 143: Coaching Is Not a Meritocracy with Serena HicksPart of noseyAF's 31 Days of Black Business series

For large facilities scrambling to bring new energy capacity online, waiting several years for a new grid connection is not a viable option. John Carrington, CEO of ERock, and Jesse Noffsinger, Partner at McKinsey & Company, discuss current trends in behind-the-meter (BTM) generation and how it can provide a faster solution while utilities build needed grid connections. Over the long term however, BTM resources could shift from serving individual customers to supporting the larger power system. John and Jesse also explore the challenges that come with rapid growth on the grid, including supply chain constraints, complex large-load rate structures, and how costs and benefits should be shared. Hear two expert viewpoints on this fast-evolving BTM area in this episode.

082726 SHORT 25 MIN The Grid ; Putin NUKE Headline Lies Explained In Detail by Kate Dalley

America needs more power. Data centers are accelerating demand, utilities are planning billions of dollars in new infrastructure, and households will ultimately help pay for much of it.But what if we invested some of that money in the households themselves?Ari Matusiak, co-founder and CEO of Rewiring America, makes the case that homes can become a meaningful part of America's energy infrastructure—and that households should be compensated for the value they provide to the grid.In this wide-ranging conversation, Ari and Nico explore the rise of Homegrown Energy, why the old equilibrium between utilities and customers is breaking down, how hyperscalers could help fund household energy upgrades, and where regulators and utilities are already testing what's possible.They also get into the harder question underneath all of it: who gets to participate in the value created as we build out the grid?For Ari, the opportunity is bigger than electrification. If households can provide real value to the grid, the question becomes whether we continue treating them primarily as customers, or start investing in them as part of the solution.That could create a very different deal: more capacity for a power-hungry economy, more flexibility for the grid, and tangible value flowing back to the households helping make it possible.Are there other technologies you've scouted on the frontlines of the Clean Energy Revolution that you think we should be covering here on SunCast?Hit us up - team@suncast.me with your feedback & recommendations.If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to their contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://suncast.media/episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.suncast.media/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 950 other founder stories and startup advice at www.suncast.media.We'd love if you'd leave us a 5 ⭐ rating & review and it's never been easier: https://www.ratethispodcast.com/suncastSubscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/valence-content-that-connects-7145928995363049472/You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on:Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/nicomeoLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickalus(00:00) The Fastest Path to Power(00:12) Meet Ari Matusiak, Rewiring America's Founder(03:17) The Thread Behind a Career of Big Problems(09:42) Winning an Affordable Housing Bond in Rhode Island(22:47) Rewiring America and the 42% Emissions Insight(27:06) Reframing Households as Energy Infrastructure(29:57) Why the Grid's Political Economy Just Shifted(41:13) Energy Value vs. Community Benefit Payouts(42:30) Building the Missing Middle Market(48:47) The Slow Start of Homegrown Energy(55:31) Data Centers, Grid Distortion, and Homeowners(1:00:25) Illinois as the First Domino(1:05:23) Answering the Subsidy Critique(1:15:13) Dignity, Shared Winning, and What's Hardest

Ep 142: Sustainable Swimwear That Actually Fits with Tiffany Asamoah of BOLD SwimPart of noseyAF's 31 Days of Black Business series

Tell us what you think of the show! While some students enjoy summer break, their school buses are still hard at work. Rather than transporting pupils, they're hauling electrons and supporting the grid during critical periods of peak electricity demand.Such is one of the tantalizing promises of vehicle-to-grid, or V2G, technology, and it's far from fantasy. More than 30 utilities across 21 U.S. states currently have V2G school bus projects, from California to Connecticut, North Carolina up to Massachusetts. Since they can charge their beefy batteries of 200 kilowatt-hours or more when power prices are low, the peak-shavers-on-wheels are proving to be a valuable tool for utilities, especially as demand surges and affordability discussions grow louder. And applications go beyond buses. More broadly, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology enables batteries to communicate with and be discharged to external systems, whether that's an electric vehicle (EV) or something else. Such virtual power plant (VPP) programs are still in their infancy, and regulatory frameworks and standards to support them are far from established, but early studies are beginning to tease out the enticing possibilities for managing EV charging and smart battery dispatch.On this episode of the Factor This Policycast, the latest in a series presented in partnership with national business association Advanced Energy United, we dive into a world where smart charging plays a critical role in grid reliability and keeping electricity prices manageable. Host Paul Gerke leads a discussion between electrifying transportation policy principal Elizabeth Stears of Advanced Energy United and Leah Brams, market development manager at Highland Fleets, an electrification-as-a-service provider helping school districts, local governments, and commercial fleet owners affordably convert their traditional diesel vehicle fleets to EVs. They outline the policy reforms needed to unlock V2X's potential and identify the roadblocks to wider adoption. Brams and Stears identify how utilities can best leverage such technologies and share learnings from pilots- what works, what doesn't, and how we can refine policy to roll idling electric buses into peak-demand squashers.Energy policy on your mind?

Ep 141: Split Ends Are the Devil with Charita Golden of Golden TressesPart of noseyAF's 31 Days of Black Business series

Willie Phillips is the former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and now a partner at Holland & Knight. During his time at FERC, Phillips helped lead major reforms to transmission planning and the electric grid's interconnection process. He now advises the companies and utilities he once regulated, giving him a unique perspective on how developers can navigate the regulatory system. In this episode of Inevitable, Phillips explains how FERC works, what companies routinely get wrong when engaging with regulators, and why early participation and pre-filing conversations can dramatically improve the odds of success. He also breaks down the Supreme Court's overturning of the Chevron doctrine and how his team designed Order 1920 around reliability and existing legal precedent. The conversation then turns to the bigger challenge facing the U.S. grid: rapidly growing electricity demand from AI, data centers, electrification, and industrial activity. Phillips argues that the grid was not built for this moment and that the country needs faster, more coordinated planning while preserving the role of states and regional authorities. Finally, Phillips discusses large loads, behind-the-meter generation, vertically integrated utilities, and the possibility that hyperscalers could become major power generators. He argues that regulators, utilities, and technology companies have an opportunity to work together to build the infrastructure needed for the next era of the American economy.

In the remote Alaska community of McCarthy, winter means isolation—and one day in March 1983, that isolation became deadly. Louis D. Hastings had come to Alaska searching for pristine wilderness, but his growing obsession with development, environmental destruction, and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System led him to devise a horrific plan. When the weekly mail plane arrived in McCarthy, Hastings launched a deadly attack that left six people dead and two wounded. In this episode of Crime Off the Grid, we travel to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve to uncover the McCarthy murders, Hastings' chilling plan, and the remote Alaskan community that survived one of the state's most shocking mass killings.Support 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

Episode DescriptionThe storm passes. The rain stops. The winds die down. And sometimes, that is when the real emergency begins.Electricity is the backbone of nearly every system modern communities depend upon. Communications, water and wastewater systems, hospitals, fuel distribution, traffic control, grocery stores, banking, transportation, emergency operations, and even our ability to receive warnings depend in some way on reliable power.In this episode of the Emergency Management Network Podcast, we examine the vulnerability of the American electrical grid following major storms and extreme weather events. The problem is bigger than a few downed power lines. Hurricanes, tornadoes, derechos, ice storms, flooding, wildfires, and extreme temperatures can damage generation, transmission, substations, and local distribution systems simultaneously.More importantly, we explore what happens next.What does a 24-hour outage mean for a community? What changes at 72 hours? What happens when backup generators begin running low on fuel, cellular sites lose power, medically vulnerable residents need assistance, grocery stores cannot refrigerate food, traffic signals stop working, and public safety agencies are operating on emergency power?For emergency managers, the electrical grid isn't simply another piece of critical infrastructure. It is the infrastructure upon which much of the rest of our response system depends.We discuss where the vulnerabilities exist, why severe storms continue to expose them, and what emergency managers should be doing now to prepare for prolonged and cascading power failures.The question isn't simply whether the lights will come back on.The question is: What can your community continue to do until they do?Show NotesThis episode explores the intersection between extreme weather, electrical-grid reliability, critical infrastructure, and emergency management.We examine how severe storms can damage transmission and distribution infrastructure and why the consequences extend far beyond homes losing electricity. Major outages can quickly become cascading incidents affecting communications, healthcare, transportation, water systems, fuel supplies, businesses, food distribution, and government operations.Topics include:* Why severe weather remains one of the greatest threats to electrical reliability* The difference between generation, transmission, and distribution failures* How damaged substations, transmission lines, poles, transformers, and vegetation can complicate restoration* Why undergrounding electrical lines can help in some circumstances but is not a universal solution* The growing importance of microgrids, distributed generation, battery storage, and backup power* Generator dependence and the challenge of maintaining fuel supplies during prolonged outages* Telecommunications and cellular-system vulnerabilities when commercial power fails* The consequences of simultaneous power and communications failures* Impacts on hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, pharmacies, dialysis centers, and medically dependent populations* Water and wastewater system dependencies on electricity* Traffic signals, transportation networks, fuel stations, and supply-chain disruptions* The role of utilities inside the Emergency Operations Center* Identifying critical facilities and prioritizing restoration* Community Lifelines and cascading infrastructure failures* Planning for outages lasting 24, 48, 72 hours—or longer* Why continuity planning must assume that commercial electricity may not be immediately available after a major disasterThe Emergency Management QuestionEmergency managers cannot rebuild the nation's electrical grid, but we can understand our dependencies on it.Every jurisdiction should be asking:What stops working when the power goes out?Then:What stops working when it stays out for three days?Those two questions can reveal vulnerabilities that may never appear in a traditional hazard assessment.Electrical resilience isn't simply a utility problem. It is a community resilience problem. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit emnetwork.substack.com/subscribe

Project PRISM! The Silent Grid! Today we're talking Project PRISM, the NSA's digital skeleton key into the tech giants. We're talking the data center boom that turned half the countryside into humming server farms. We're talking Flock Safety's 120,000-plus cameras turning every road into a searchable timeline of your movements. And we're connecting them the way the official story never will. We're not dismissing the conspiracy angle just because the smoking-gun memo is still classified. History shows the government hides the worst of it until a whistleblower forces their hand—or until it's too late to reverse. Snowden proved that once. The Church Committee proved it before him. If you think they've suddenly become transparent, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn and a Flock camera watching you cross it. Buckle up. This is “The Silent Grid.” We're going to the sources, the history, the patterns, and every reasonable conspiracy that fits the facts better than the press releases.

Ep 137: Not Everybody's Life Is a Movie Scene with Adrienne Randle of Evryday Blk MagazinePart of noseyAF's 31 Days of Black Business series

Everyone loves to talk about the “broken grid.” But if you look inside a utility's planning and operations functions, a different picture emerges: infrastructure that is remarkably reliable, built and run by engineers solving impossibly complex problems with often outdated tools. In this episode, Shayle Kann sits down with Josh Wong, CEO and founder of ThinkLabs AI, a company building physics-informed AI for utility planning and operations. They break down how utility studies get built today, the data cleanup headaches, the silos between teams, and the “worst case” mentality that drives an overbuild of infrastructure.  Shayle and Josh discuss: Why utility planning is split into silos across transmission, distribution, and DER planning. The gap between studies that identify grid problems and the work of actually solving them. What “physics-informed AI” actually means. The shift from AI that identifies problems to AI that actually solves them. The disconnect between utility planning and real-time operations.

What if dying revealed the truth about who you really are?After suffering a heart attack fueled by years of rage, trauma, and inner conflict, David A. Williamson says he left his body, heard doctors' thoughts as they fought to save his life, traveled through deep space, encountered "the Void," witnessed a mysterious hidden Grid beyond the universe, and received a life-altering message:"You killed yourself with your personality."In this extraordinary Near Death Experience (NDE) episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, David describes hovering above his body in the operating room, watching medical personnel work on him while somehow knowing their private thoughts. He then says he shot through space, encountered what he believes may be connected to black holes, witnessed a star-forming region, transformed into an orb of light, and saw an asteroid that NASA would later confirm actually exists.But that's only the beginning.David shares childhood experiences that he believes prepared him for this encounter with death, including an NDE at age six, powerful intuition, ESP abilities, lucid dreaming, sleep paralysis, and a lifelong sense that reality was far more mysterious than most people realize. He also reveals why he eventually asked God to take his intuitive gifts away.In one of the most unique life reviews we've ever heard, David says he was shown profound truths about identity, race, trauma, love, and the destructive power of unresolved anger. Growing up in a small, impoverished Southern town, witnessing KKK marches as a child, and carrying years of racial pain and resentment would eventually culminate in the heart attack that changed everything.He also discusses startling past-life memories of witnessing the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, his views on reincarnation, Earth School, and why he believes we are already choosing future lifetimes based on the lessons we are learning now.We cover:- His detailed out-of-body experience during cardiac arrest- Receiving the profound realization that he was fundamentally "love and light"- Traveling through space and encountering "the Void"- Witnessing a star-forming region and becoming an orb of light- Mysterious Grid beyond space and what it may mean about reality- Angels and their role in humanity's development- Reincarnation, soul evolution, & Earth School- Why he believes souls cycle through many lives- Emotional and physical challenges of returning to life after death- Why he experienced severe depression after his NDE- How sharing his story 3.5 years later helped rewire his brain and accelerate healing- The dramatic personality transformation that followed his experience- Psychedelics vs. NDEs: key similarities and differences- What religion gets wrong about spirituality- How his NDE changed the way he parents and approaches relationships- Role of imagination, creation, & possibility in human lifeWhether you're curious about consciousness, life after death, reincarnation, spirituality, psychic phenomena, black holes, or the transformative power of profound human experiences, this conversation challenges conventional assumptions and explores some of the deepest questions we can ask about existence!Please consider donating to David A.
