The Mercantilist Restoration - https://anthonyfatseas.substack.com/p/the-mercantilist-restoration-how?r=1ni7opInterview recorded - 8th of June, 2026On this episode of the WTFinance podcast I had the pleasure of welcoming back Simon Hunt. Simon Hunt has spent his working life in and around the copper industry, founding Brook Hunt in 1975 before establishing Simon Hunt Strategic Services. During our conversation we spoke about his thoughts on the markets, Middle East conflict, China & Iran's reaction, golds consolidation, risk of a stock market collapse and more.

From there, he helped start up a new copper development organisation, CIDEC, financed by copper producers, which he then joined, focusing on conducting end-use studies of copper in Europe.He then went into the City to gain financial experience and founded Brook Hunt in 1975. He was instrumental in setting up the company's cost studies and end-use analyses. He appeared as material witness and consultant in two ITC anti-dumping cases in 1978 and 1984, winning both at the commission level.He has spent 2-4 months every year in China since 1993 and until a few years ago would be visiting some 80 wire and cable and brass mill factories across the country every year. He now restricts these factory visits to a smaller number, all of which he has known for many years. He also spends many weeks each year traveling around Asia.The focus of the company's services is on the global economy, including the changing geopolitical and financial structures, China's economy and its copper sector, and then the global copper industry as each part is interconnected.Simon is the author of the “Frontline China Report Service,” which is marketed by the TIS Group.

Solar & storage pioneers Solar Design Associates share 50 years of firsts on the Clean Power Hour. They put solar on the White House in 1979 and built the first community solar garden in America. Haskell Werlin and Steven Strong trace solar's fall from $16 to $1 per watt, explain why the battery cost curve is following the same path, and break down what the ITC-free era means for developers.Solar and storage pioneers Solar Design Associates have been designing solar energy systems since 1974, accumulating firsts from the Carter-era White House installation to the first true community solar garden in the United States. Haskell Werlin, Vice President of Business Development, and Steven Strong, Founder and President, join Tim Montague on the Clean Power Hour to trace 50 years of solar industry evolution. Solar pricing fell from $16 per watt for satellites to $1 per watt for ground mounts today, and Haskell confirms the battery cost curve is now following the same downward path, with Texas leading the country in solar and battery installations. This episode covers landmark projects, including the Bullit Center in Seattle and the Harvard community solar garden, alongside a direct assessment of what the residential ITC removal means for project economics through 2028 and beyond.Here is what you will learn from this conversation about 50 years of solar storage pioneers and the battery transition ahead:You will learn why Haskell argues Texas, not Hawaii, is now leading the country in solar and battery installations after transforming the ERCOT grid from fossil fuel dependency to firm base load power.Find out how the first true community solar garden in the US, a 542-kilowatt ground mount in Harvard, Massachusetts required a statewide home rule petition to resolve a property tax classification dispute with the local assessor.Understand how the Bullit Center in Seattle, described by the New York Times Architectural Review as the “Most sustainable commercial building in America,” achieved 100% energy offset in one of the least sunny major cities in the US.Find out how Solar Design Associates put solar on the White House under President Carter in 1979, with Steven Strong on the roof for the dedication ceremony, and were called back under President George W. Bush in 2006 to install solar on the pool and cabana, spanning two administrations and three decades. Find out how Solar Design Associates has never exceeded 20 employees in 50 years, why hiring graduates with no prior solar experience is a deliberate strategy, and what Haskell says about the companies growing fast and falling hard.Fifty years ago solar panels powered satellites because nothing else could reach them, and the technology now costs $1 per watt for ground mounts, a cost collapse driven by German feed-in tariffs, and Chinese manufacturing scale. The battery industry is now following the same path solar took from satellite technology to mass market infrastructure, with the same forces of policy, manufacturing scale, and early adopter projects already in motion. Professionals watching this episode are standing at the same inflection point the solar pioneers of 1974 stood at, with the advantage of knowing exactly how this story ends.Connect Steven Strong, Haskell Werlin Haskell Werlin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/haskell-werlin-1a21383/Steven Strong: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-strong-3309894/Solar Design Associates: https://solardesign.com/ Support the showConnect with Tim  Clean Power Hour  Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

In this episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, Benoy Thanjan speaks with Russell Laplante, Chief Financial Officer of Convergent Energy and Power, one of the leading battery storage developers and operators in the United States. Russ shares his nearly two-decade journey in renewable energy from his Goldman Sachs training program to becoming the first employee at wind startup Own Energy in 2007, through utility-scale solar at Tradewind Energy and Savion, and now leading the financial strategy at Convergent's distributed and utility-scale battery storage platform. The conversation covers Convergent's business model working with commercial and industrial customers on behind-the-meter battery and solar-plus-storage projects, how they save C&I customers up to 40% on their energy bills, and how batteries help utilities defer costly transmission and distribution upgrades. The episode dives deep into the financing of battery storage, including tax equity, portfolio debt financing, partnership flip structures, and why distributed generation requires a fundamentally different capital strategy than utility-scale projects. Russ also shares his perspective on the massive opportunity around data centers, AI-driven load growth, speed to grid, the Big Beautiful Bill, ITC extension for storage, and what Foreign Entity of Concern(“FEOC”) compliance means for the battery supply chain.

Silicon solar panels have led the market for decades but will soon hit a ceiling around 25% efficiency. Perovskite, a frontier material once dismissed for degrading too fast, is now being called the holy grail of solar. Saritha Peruri, VP of Commercialization at Tandem PV, is bringing it to market. The company stacks its proprietary perovskite on top of silicon, capturing a wider spectrum of light and pushing efficiency past 30%, a major jump over conventional solar. And because it builds on the silicon PV infrastructure that already exists, the path to scale stays simple. Getting there wasn't easy. After a long Series A, Tandem PV pulled off something rare in deep-tech hardware: 100% equipment financing for its 40-megawatt demonstration factory. It's now shipping quarter-sized modules to utility-scale customers who want U.S.-made panels for supply chain certainty and the domestic content kicker. It's potentially a bridge to a post-ITC world that cuts land and labor costs because each installation needs far fewer modules. In this episode, host Lara Pierpoint talks with Saritha about reaching high durability and the challenges of financing deep-tech hardware. Credits: Hosted by Lara Pierpoint.

Energy resilience for homeowners is the mission behind Energy Access Innovations, a multi-brand clean energy company building an end-to-end ecosystem for solar and battery storage. Nicole Tomasin, Chief Commercial Officer at EAI, joins Tim Montague to explain how the company serves the consumers the rest of the industry ignores, including DIYers and rural markets.Battery storage and solar access for homeowners is moving beyond coastal markets and high-income consumers. Energy Access Innovations has built a multi-brand portfolio covering distribution, DIY support, installation, and financing under one mission: making energy resilience affordable for every American. Nicole walks Tim through how the company's sister brands, including EG4, Signature Solar, Outback Power, Solar 76, Sun Atlas Power, and EA365, work together to serve customers that most distributors and installers turn away. The company's new XR60 battery, 60 kWh with a 16 kW inverter for under $20,000, and its EA365 prepaid lease, which returns a 30% rebate directly to homeowners, are proof that affordability and transparency are not competing goals. Here is what you will learn in this conversation about residential battery storage affordability and energy resilience:You will find out how the XR60 delivers 60 kWh of storage and a 16 kW inverter for under $20,000, why it ships as a single freestanding unit weighing 1,600 pounds, and when it arrives in market.Learn how the EA365 prepaid lease returns a 30% rebate directly to homeowners, making the residential ITC phase-out less damaging for consumers who no longer qualify for the tax credit.Understand why Energy Access Innovations built Sun Atlas Power, its own EPC company, to capture DIY customers who need installation help, and how it taps a network of 2,000 to 3,000 regional contractors already buying through Signature Solar.Find out why Tim pushed back on a California developer's claim that consumer-owned residential batteries are done, and what EAI's experience with DIY customers suggests about that prediction.You will hear why Texas surpassed California in storage deployment, how PJM grid services programs are generating returns that recover a battery investment in two to three years, and why Illinois is a priority market for EAI.The residential ITC phase-out is compressing margins across the solar industry and pushing more customers toward third-party ownership models. Illinois is incentivizing 1.8 gigawatts of distributed batteries through its clean energy incentive program, and Texas has already surpassed California in storage deployment. Contractors who are not yet offering storage are running out of time to get positioned.Connect with Nicole Tomasin, Energy Access Innovations Nicole Tomasi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicole-santos-tomasin/Sun Atlas Power: https://www.sunatlaspower.com/Episode 325, James Showalter: https://youtu.be/7CoJQ_lTLkU Support the showConnect with Tim  Clean Power Hour  Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes back Simon Hunt to the show. Simon is a consultant on the global economy, China, and the copper industry. The discussion opens with the ongoing disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and its profound implications for global energy supplies. Hunt explains that Saudi Arabia is attempting to broker a new regional architecture involving China, Russia, Pakistan, and Turkey, partly in response to Iran's demonstrated military capabilities. He assesses only a fifty percent chance of success, warning that even if a ceasefire is reached, reopening the strait to normal traffic could take months, and oil stockpiles in Asia, Europe, and America may be exhausted by mid-July. This supply crunch, he argues, makes a global recession nearly certain by year-end, deepening significantly in the following year. The conversation shifts to China's strategic positioning. Hunt notes that China anticipated American geopolitical moves and has diversified its energy sources through pipelines from Russia and Kazakhstan, alongside massive domestic coal and renewable capacity. This allows China to withstand the Hormuz closure indefinitely, unlike Western nations. The discussion then turns to the evolving global monetary order, where Hunt describes a BRICS-led effort to create a multipolar system anchored in physical gold. He details China's construction of Shanghai Gold Exchange vaults in Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong, enabling trade settlement in non-G7 currencies convertible to gold. While he sees gold prices reaching double-digit thousands in five years, he cautions that America is unlikely to revalue its gold reserves and warns of potential government confiscation during crises. On commodities, Hunt challenges the prevailing supercycle narrative, calling it premature. He predicts that a deep recession will cause physical demand to collapse, outweighing current supply constraints. He specifically highlights copper, noting that NVIDIA's shift to photonics could eliminate copper from data centers by 2028, undermining a key demand thesis. Strategic stockpiling of critical minerals by governments will eventually follow, but processing capacity remains a bottleneck controlled by China.

Episode Summary In this episode, Benoy Thanjan sits down with Victoria Stulgis, President of Black Bear Energy, to explore one of the most underrated opportunities in the solar industry: commercial real estate. Black Bear Energy acts as an owner's representative for institutional property owners, helping them deploy on-site solar and battery storage across their portfolios at scale. Victoria discusses Black Bear's recently published 2025 Real Estate Solar Leaderboards Report, a first-of-its-kind dataset tracking energized on-site solar across major U.S. real estate owners and managers. The numbers are eye-opening. Prologis leads with 309 MW deployed in the U.S. alone and more than 1 GW globally. Public Storage has quietly completed more than 1,100 projects totaling 111 MW. According to Morgan Stanley, there is still 326 GW of untapped solar capacity sitting on commercial rooftops across the country. The conversation gets into the real mechanics of how large REITs and institutional landlords are approaching solar today, why most deals are front-of-meter rooftop leases, what is driving community solar adoption in Illinois, New Jersey, and Maryland, and what the ITC phase-out means for lease rates and deal economics going forward. Victoria also makes the case for why battery storage is the next major frontier for commercial real estate and what it will take for the capital markets to catch up.

Alekh Sanghera spent his early career as a digital payments consultant at MicroSave, working on Bill Gates Foundation and World Bank rural finance mandates, before realising that the smallholder farmer's biggest problem was not credit but market access. The Indian agritech startup he co-founded, FarMart, is now the country's largest output linkage platform, supplying Britannia, Reliance Retail, ITC, biofuel distillers, and animal feed giants while running a zero-inventory, asset-light business model. In this conversation with host Akshay Datt, Sanghera explains why most B2B marketplaces fail by chasing the trade spread, how FarMart pays farmers same-day by securitising enterprise invoices through SEBI-registered NBFCs, and why the village retailer is infrastructure rather than friction in the Indian food supply chain. The timing matters: India just hit 20 percent ethanol blending, maize and broken rice are now the largest grain feedstocks, and capital-efficient agritech models are the only ones still attracting growth funding in 2026.

Opel ist in diesem Jahr erstmals mit dabei und präsentiert 125 Jahre nach dem ersten Sieg im Motorsport berühmte Rennsport-Klassiker aus dem Fundus von Opel Classic – von denen viele auch eine enge Beziehung zur traditionsreichen Rennstrecke in der Kurpfalz haben. Zu den Exponaten zählen Raritäten aus den ersten Jahren des Motorsports wie der 12-PS-Rennwagen von 1903, das sagenumwobene „Grüne Monster“ von 1914 sowie der im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes raketenschnelle RAK2 von 1928. Legendär sind auch die „Schwarze Witwe“ sowie der Opel GT von 1968. Dazu werden Tourenwagen-Legenden wie der Kadett GSi 16V DTM und der Calibra V6 4x4 ITC die Besucher am Hockenheimring begeistern. Aufsehenerregend, stark, legendär: Opel-Motorsport-Ikonen aus 125 Jahren Die „ADAC Hockenheim Historic“ ist ein Besuchermagnet und ein Highlight im Kalender aller Liebhaber historischer Motorsport-Fahrzeuge. Allein im vergangenen Jahr strömten mehr als 45.000 Menschen ins badische Motodrom. Für diese Fans wird Opel bei der aktuellen Drei-Tages-Veranstaltung mit legendären Rüsselsheimer Rennsport-Boliden aufwarten. Eine echte automobile Urgewalt ist beispielsweise das schon angesprochene „Grüne Monster“. 12,3 Liter Hubraum, 191 kW (260 PS) Leistung und 230 km/h Top-Geschwindigkeit – schon 1914 entstand in den Werkshallen von Opel das gewaltigste Fahrzeug der Unternehmensgeschichte, eine echte Ansage! Szenenwechsel in die 1960er Jahre: Für viele bis heute unvergessen ist der unter dem Namen „Schwarze Witwe“ bekannte Gruppe-5-Spezialtourenwagen von 1968 auf Basis des Rekord C. Der vor seinen ersten offiziellen Einsätzen zunächst noch geheime Wagen wurde 1968 übrigens auf dem Hockenheimring erprobt und abgestimmt. Beim Saisonfinale der Gruppe-5-Tourenwagen im selben Jahr erreichte Fahrer Erich Bitter dort dann die schnellste Rundenzeit. Auch den Opel GT verbindet viel mit der Rennstrecke. Seine internationale Fahrvorstellung fand im Oktober 1968 genau hier statt. Der Rest ist Geschichte …   Alle Fotos: Opel Automobile GmbH   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

Gian Piero Piretto"Il paese di Putin"20 parole russe al servizio della propagandaRaffaello Cortina Editorewww.raffaellocortina.itC'erano una volta parole che raccontavano l'identità di un popolo. Sobórnost', l'unione spirituale tra individui, prostór, lo spazio sconfinato che attraeva e respingeva con la sua immensità, stabíl'nost', la stabilità e l'attendibilità di un sistema governativo. Per secoli questi concetti hanno improntato di sé letteratura, filosofia e memoria collettiva russa. Oggi quelle parole parlano un'altra lingua. Con sottile violenza la propaganda del potere le ha svuotate, travisate, trasformate in slogan. La spiritualità è diventata moralismo di Stato. L'identità popolare è stata ridotta a nazionalismo. La memoria si è ristretta a un mito glorioso, utile al presente. Gian Piero Piretto esplora qui venti parole chiave della cultura russa, evidenziandone il senso originario e mostrando come siano state reinterpretate e strumentalizzate dalla propaganda putiniana. Smonta stereotipi e narrazioni monolitiche, mette a confronto passato e presente e offre un ritratto inedito della Russia contemporanea, al di là delle manipolazioni ideologiche e dei cliché consolidati.Gian Piero Piretto ha insegnato Cultura russa e Metodologia della cultura visuale all'Università degli Studi di Milano. Nelle nostre edizioni ha curato Memorie di pietra (2014) e pubblicato Gli occhi di Stalin (2010), Quando c'era l'URSS (2018), Vagabondare a Berlino (2020), Eggs Benedict a Manhattan (2021) e L'ultimo spettacolo (2023).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Alberto Bertoni"L'Alzheimer, i cavalli, la poesia"Un memoirMarietti1820www.mariettieditore.itC'è tutta la poesia di Alberto Bertoni nella sua prosa delicata, dolorosa e ironica che racconta la malattia del padre Gilberto. L'Alzheimer, che cancella i ricordi dell'essere umano che abita, crea uno spazio di accoglienza per quelli di chi al malato sta accanto. E di ricordo in ricordo scorrono, sulla lunga durata della passione precoce dell'autore per la poesia, le corse dei cavalli e l'Inter, la vita famigliare e gli anni della formazione, i percorsi della parola e delle lingue, i maestri di letteratura e quelli di vita – o di entrambe. Episodi di storie particolari che si intrecciano ai grandi movimenti e mutamenti culturali di una generazione divisa tra quotidianità e sconvolgimenti. Attraverso Modena, «stanza di vita quotidiana», la Bologna degli studi e delle bombe e un Oltreoceano già oltre la soglia della rivoluzione tecnologica, il memoir di Bertoni è una continua danza sul filo dell'immanenza.Alberto Bertoni (Modena, 1955) è saggista e poeta. Ha insegnato Letteratura italiana contemporanea all'Università di Bologna. Tra le sue numerose pubblicazioni si ricordano, per la saggistica, Poesia italiana dal Novecento a oggi (Marietti1820, 2019), Una questione finale. Poesia e pensiero da Auschwitz (Book Editore, 2020), Voci del grande stile. Prose e poesie fra due secoli (Il Mulino, 2023). Il tema dell'Alzheimer è stato già affrontato nell'opera poetica Ricordi di Alzheimer (in quattro edizioni per Book: 2008, 2012, 2016 e 2024), nel 2018 molte delle sue raccolte sono confluite nel volume Poesie 1980-2014 (Aragno). Il suo libro più recente è Semplici abbandoni (Einaudi, 2025).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

In Episode 323 of The Green Insider Podcast, host Mike Nemer once again, sits down with Energy Vault co-founder and CEO Robert Piconi to unpack the company's shift from technology provider to owner-operator of energy assets—and why that strategy aligns with the accelerating demand for reliable power in AI compute. They discuss Energy Vault's operational hybrid green hydrogen microgrid project with PG&E in Calistoga, new long-term energy service agreements in Texas and Australia, and how AI is being applied across battery management, predictive analytics, and energy trading—without compromising safety. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Energy Vault is accelerating its move to own and operate storage and hybrid generation assets What the PG&E Calistoga green hydrogen microgrid is designed to do—and how it's being used today How modular data centers and AI compute infrastructure are shaping power requirements Where AI is delivering value: battery monitoring, predictive analytics, and trading/dispatch optimization How flexible, technology-agnostic supply chains help navigate domestic content and regulatory constraints Robert goes on to discuss Energy Vault’s supply chain strategy, explaining how they have built flexible supply chains to handle geopolitical and economic changes. He noted that they have worked with multiple battery providers, including Samsung, and adapted to work with domestic content technologies. Mike mentioned the ITC credits for battery storage through 2032, and Robert agreed, adding that they still need to meet domestic content and foreign entity of concern requirements.

President Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick pride themselves on being dealmakers and on making the kind of unconventional deals for America no one else could have gotten done. Gil Hyatt is offering them one that sounds like a no-brainer. However, the question remains whether that dealmaking reputation is enough to overcome thirty years of inertia from prior administrations focused on opposing Hyatt, including most notably on keeping any more of his patents from ever issuing.Inventor Gil Hyatt returns to Clause 8 to discuss his proposal to donate foundational AI patents to the Pioneering AI Foundation, a nonprofit he says could help give the U.S. government new leverage to advance American interests. Hyatt also reflects on his decades-long battle with the USPTO, the motivation behind the foundation, and why he sees the project as a gift to America ahead of the nation's 250th birthday.Will America accept the gift?The episode covers:* 00:23 — the ongoing battle with the USPTO* 02:44 — the Pioneering AI Foundation* 05:35 — using the ITC and trade agreements as leverage* 07:11 — human rights and labor unions: leveling the global playing field* 10:24 — AI in the classroom: the “super headstart” for children* 12:35 — relieving drudgery: AI as a catalyst for creative thinking* 14:27 — addressing skepticism: motives and financials* 16:16 — repaying the dream: the legacy of immigrant parents* 17:34 — advice for the next generation of inventors* 18:22 — final thoughts: destiny and helping America

What happens after we die—and can it be studied with evidence rather than belief alone? In this compelling episode, Dr. Craig Hogan, afterlife researcher, explores the growing body of work dedicated to understanding consciousness beyond physical life. Drawing from years of investigation and analysis, Dr. Hogan discusses various lines of research into the afterlife, including near-death experiences, instrumental transcommunication, and other reported forms of contact with non-physical realms. He examines how technology, data collection, and firsthand accounts are being used to explore questions that have traditionally belonged to faith and philosophy. This episode invites listeners to consider whether the afterlife can be approached scientifically. What evidence exists to support continued consciousness beyond death? How reliable are personal experiences as data? And what role does open-minded skepticism play in evaluating such claims? Join us for a thought-provoking and intellectually engaging conversation that bridges research and spirituality—where the search for answers continues beyond the limits of the physical world, and where the question of what lies ahead remains one of humanity's greatest mysteries.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

In this episode, James talks with Bill Francis, Vice President of Emerging Markets at New Energy Equity — a distributed solar developer that has spent over a decade building community solar programs across the country.Bill joined NEE at the end of 2025 after seven years at Engie, arriving right as the traditional community solar model is showing real strain. Programs are saturating. Development capital is tighter. The ITC safe harbor clock is ticking. His mandate: figure out what comes next — and build it. The case he makes in this episode is that the fundamentals for distributed energy are actually stronger than ever. The branding and program structure just need to change.Why community solar programs are hitting a wall — and the structures (feed-in tariffs, co-op PPAs, VPP tariffs) that could replace themThe ITC safe harbor cliff at end of 2027: why developers need a three-dimensional strategy on equipment timelines, permitting, and safe harbor right nowThe distributed storage opportunity: why half an acre beats 80 acres — and why electric co-ops are among the most motivated customers for standalone batteriesNEE's development DNA: why being judicious about when and how you de-risk assets matters more than ever when development capital is scarceA must-listen for distributed solar and storage developers thinking through market selection, capital discipline, and what the post-community solar era actually looks like.Paces helps developers find and evaluate the sites most suitable for renewable development.

Revenue from aging solar assets can now more than double through redevelopment. Matt Murphy, CEO of Flux Energy, joins Tim Montague on the Clean Power Hour to explain how. Murphy, a 20-year solar industry veteran and former Greenbacker executive, launched Flux Energy to focus on repowering and redeveloping existing solar farms, adding energy storage, renegotiating contracts, and replacing outdated panels with modern technology. His claim: deploying capital into operating assets delivers returns as good or better than building new projects from scratch. With SREC 1 and SREC 2 programs expiring in Massachusetts and solar panels from the early 2010s producing a fraction of what today's 750-watt modules deliver, the opportunity for solar asset redevelopment is growing fast.Here's what you'll learn in this conversation about repowering and redeveloping aging solar assets:Learn how Murphy's "redevelopment" strategy stacks new revenue streams on existing solar farms by adding battery storage, repowering with modern panels, and renegotiating offtake agreements.Understand the scale of the efficiency gap: panels installed a decade ago were 120-watt modules, while today's range from 600 to 800 watts. A repowered site on the same acreage produces up to four or five times the energy output.Find out why Flux Energy prefers DC-coupled battery storage.You'll hear how Murphy restores EBITDA to peak incentive levels, then connects sellers with IPP buyers in what he calls "solar house flipping."Learn why about 50% of the decommissioned panels Flux has evaluated so far have secondary market value at a few cents per watt.As the ITC phases down and a rush to complete new projects dominates industry attention, a parallel opportunity is emerging in the existing fleet. With state incentive programs expiring and aging assets underperforming, companies like Flux Energy represent a new segment of the solar industry focused on extracting maximum value from what has already been built. Connect with Matt Murphy, Flux Energy Matt's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-murphy-b900877a/Flux Energy Website: https://www.fluxenergy.com/ Support the showConnect with Tim  Clean Power Hour  Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

EVEN MORE about this episode!What if consciousness continues after death—and evidence of the afterlife is already being recorded?Join Julie Ryan and filmmaker Daniel Drasin as they explore afterlife communication, the Scole Experiment, electronic voice phenomena (EVP), and signs from loved ones in the spirit world. Dan shares the astonishing phenomena he documented while investigating afterlife communication, including the famous Scole Experiment, where objects materialized during controlled séances and spirit communication was recorded under strict conditions.You'll hear how spirits may communicate through modern technology—from mysterious voices captured on recordings to messages appearing through electronic devices. Dan also discusses instrumental transcommunication (ITC), mediumship research, and extraordinary accounts involving historical figures, astronauts lost in space missions, and even celebrities said to be communicating from the other side.With the eye of a filmmaker and the curiosity of a lifelong investigator, Dan challenges the idea that consciousness ends with the brain. Together, he and Julie explore the possibility that our brains may function more like receivers of consciousness rather than creators of it—and that the afterlife may exist closer to us than we think. If you've ever wondered what truly happens after we die or whether loved ones can reach us from beyond, this thought-provoking conversation will open your mind to new possibilities about life, death, and the nature of reality.Guest Biography:Daniel Drasin is an award-winning documentary filmmaker, photographer, and media producer with a career spanning more than six decades. Since the early 1990s, he has focused on researching and documenting afterlife communication, exploring both traditional mental and physical mediumship as well as modern electronic methods. His acclaimed documentaries, Calling Earth and Scole: The Afterlife Experiment, examine the evidence and experiences surrounding communication with the spirit world.

FEOC compliance is the number one question solar buyers ask in 2026, and the answer determines which module manufacturers survive. In this episode, Tim Montague talks with Chris Lettman of Imperial Star, Benoy Thanjan of Reneu Energy, and the host of the Solar Maverick podcast, and Dean Solon of Create Energy at InterSolar San Diego 2026. Here's what you'll learn in this conversation:Find out how Imperial Star offers "domestic light" module configurations that let developers hit their required domestic content percentage without overpaying for content they don't need.Learn why some module manufacturers will disappear this year as FEOC compliance separates companies with verified supply chains from those without. Understand what the ITC phase-out by 2028 means for project economics and why Dean Solon says the industry needs to "break free of that pacifier." You'll hear why Dean Solon built Create as an open-architecture system where project owners control their own data without recurring software fees. Learn how battery storage is expanding beyond California and Texas into Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. Benoy Thanjan notes that residential customers in Florida are now buying storage for peace of mind during blackouts, not purely for economic payback.The FEOC compliance deadline that took effect in January 2026 is reshaping the entire solar supply chain. With the ITC phasing out by 2028 and battery storage markets expanding into new states every year, solar professionals need to understand their module sourcing options, domestic content configurations, and post-incentive business models right now.Connect with the GuestChris Lettman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrislettman/Benoy Thanjan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bthanjan/Deon Solon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dean-solon-b8876649/Imperial Star: https://www.imperialstar.com/Reneu Energy: https://www.reneuenergy.com/Create Energy: https://www.create.energy/ Support the showConnect with Tim  Clean Power Hour  Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

LFP battery storage pricing dropped from over $1,000 per kilowatt hour to under $100 per kilowatt hour in a few short years. That single shift is reshaping project economics across the solar and storage industry. In this episode of The Clean Power Hour, host Tim Montague sits down with Wes Kennedy, a 30-year clean energy veteran. They cover DC coupling, middle market strategy, the AI-driven energy demand surge, workforce development, and what the storage ITC means in a post-solar-ITC world.Wes Kennedy leads middle market BESS deployment at QCells. He has nearly 30 years of experience in renewables. He co-founded Namaste Solar and held senior engineering and leadership roles at SMA America, Dynapower, and Blue Planet Energy. He continues to educate the next generation of installers through his "Comprehensive Solar plus Storage" curriculum on HeatSpring.Episode HighlightsLFP batteries went from over $1,000/kWh to under $100/kWh at scale in a few years. Wes traces this shift from his time at Blue Planet Energy, where lithium iron phosphate was still considered an exotic chemistry. DC coupling turns a constrained interconnection into a 24-hour revenue asset. A 1 MW grid connection, when paired with enough solar and storage on the DC side, produces a 24 MWh revenue stream for the host while remaining a 1 MW dispatchable resource from the utility's perspective.The storage ITC still exists even though solar lost its tax credit. DC-coupled projects benefit because the battery, battery inverter, transformer, skid, and cables all qualify for the ITC. QCells is launching a 1.25 MW, 5 MWh middle market skid. All components come from non-FEOC nations with at least 70% domestic content compliance, qualifying for a 40% tax credit. The biggest storage myth is a lithium shortage. Wes points to battery recycling companies like Redwood Recycling. Recycled battery volume is a richer feedstock than the richest lithium mine on the planet. You can connect with Wes Kennedy here Wes Kennedy LinkedInQcells WebsiteHeatspring Wes Kennedy Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Simon Hunt to the show. Simon Hunt is Consultant on the Global Economy, China, and the Copper Industry. In this wide-ranging discussion, Hunt provides a comprehensive analysis of the current global geopolitical and economic landscape, focusing on the critical transition from a unipolar to a multipolar world order. Hunt argues that the United States is experiencing a significant decline, similar to historical imperial cycles characterized by military overextension, debt accumulation, and internal societal friction. He suggests that the emerging BRICS alliance, led by Russia, China, and India, is fundamentally challenging American hegemony. The potential for conflict between these powers is high, with Hunt predicting a possible war between 2028 and 2030 unless Washington adapts to a multipolar framework. A significant portion of the discussion centers on potential geopolitical flashpoints, particularly in the Middle East. Hunt suggests that any conflict with Iran would be strategically complex, potentially involving Russia and China, who have recently signed a tripartite strategic alliance with Iran. He believes the United States is unlikely to launch an immediate attack, given the potential diplomatic and domestic political consequences. The conversation also delves deeply into economic trends, with Hunt highlighting the ongoing de-dollarization process. He anticipates China will play a pivotal role in this transformation, potentially announcing a gold-backed currency and participating in the creation of a new BRICS currency called the “unit” as early as 2024. Hunt predicts the Dollar Index could halve in value by 2030, potentially driving gold prices to $10,000. Regarding economic outlook, Hunt expects a significant economic correction in the third or fourth quarter of this year, driven by slowing global liquidity, credit cycles, and what he describes as fundamentally false economic reporting in the United States.

In 1961, he came back to London and joined Anglo American Corporation of South Africa as a PA to one of the Board Directors, followed by being part of a small sales and marketing team for copper. From there, he helped start up a new copper development organization, CIDEC, financed by copper producers, which he then joined, focusing on conducting end-use studies of copper in Europe. He then went into the City to gain financial experience and founded Brook Hunt in 1975. He was instrumental in setting up the company’s cost studies and end-use analyses. Simon appeared as material witness and consultant in two ITC anti-dumping cases in 1978 and 1984, winning both at the commission level. He has spent 2-4 months every year in China since 1993, and until a few years ago would be visiting some 80 wire and cable and brass mill factories across the country every year. He now restricts these factory visits to a smaller number, all of which he has known for many years. Simon also spends many weeks each year traveling around Asia. The focus of the company’s services is on the global economy, including the changing geopolitical and financial structures, China’s economy and its copper sector, and then the global copper industry as each part is interconnected. Simon is the author of the “Frontline China Report Service,” which is marketed by the TIS Group. The Service provides regular reports on China’s economy, politics, and financial outlook. Simon established this company in January 1996.

For the first time, batteries and solar powered California around the clock, with batteries running as the number one morning electricity source at nearly 6,000 megawatts. Tim Montague and John Weaver break down this milestone and a packed week of clean energy news, from a Supreme Court ruling striking down global tariffs to a Republican push to reinstate the 30% solar ITC. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSCalifornia achieved 24/7 solar and battery power for the first time. Batteries discharged through the night and morning, charged on near-free midday solar, then discharged again in the evening. (PV Magazine)Republican House member Brian Fitzpatrick voted against the "One Big Bill" over the removal of solar and wind tax credits and now pushes to reinstate the ITC. (E&E News)The Supreme Court ruled Trump's global tariffs illegal. John clarifies this removes the 10-20% blanket tariffs on goods like copper, steel, and aluminum. Solar module tariffs, battery tariffs from China (40-60%), and Southeast Asian tariffs remain in place. Indonesia's solar imports surged from 6 megawatts to 2.5 gigawatts of modules in under two years. Petitioners in the AD/CVD investigation now cite "critical circumstances." Expect new tariff action targeting Indonesian modules. (Solar Power World)Hithium completed the world's first open-door fire safety test on a 6.25 MWh battery energy storage system. Even with doors open and safety systems disabled, adjacent battery units were undamaged. (ESS News)Tim reports the number of battery companies at Intersolar roughly doubled year over year, now outnumbering solar module companies.With the ITC phase-out approaching, electricity prices climbing, and battery deployments accelerating, the stories covered here directly affect procurement decisions, financial modeling, and market strategy in 2026.

The 30% investment tax credit is going away. The safe harbor window closes July 3, 2026. After that, commercial solar stands on its own. So what separates the companies that thrive from the ones that disappear? Costa Nicolaou, founder and CEO of PanelClaw, joins Tim Montague at RE+ Northeast in Boston for a direct conversation about surviving and growing in the post-ITC market. This episode covers domestic manufacturing strategy, FEOC compliance, logistics innovation, and three specific moves every solar installer and EPC should make right now.Episode Highlights- The ITC was a runway, not a permanent subsidy. Costa frames the 30% credit as a 10-year opportunity to build manufacturing capacity, drive innovation, and prepare for an unsubsidized market. The companies that treated it as a margin cushion instead of a building tool are the ones at risk.- PanelClaw doubled its US manufacturing capacity in 2022 and expanded again. The company operates a full just-in-time domestic production model. No inventory. Enough capacity to serve the entire US flat roof market from American facilities.- PanelClaw is the only flat roof racking company with 100% FEOC compliance for the January 1 through July 3, 2026 window. Their products qualify for the complete domestic content stack: rail, structural fastener, and production.- ClawLogic gives EPCs real-time visibility into every order. Line items, pallet sizes, pallet weights, ship dates, and a live truck tracker. Costa modeled it after Amazon's delivery tracking experience. The platform has been live for three years. No competitor in flat roof racking has replicated it. PanelClaw is now launching ClawLogic in Europe.- Costa delivers three rules for solar installers preparing for the post-ITC market. First, resist the race to the bottom. Second, pursue extreme collaboration across the value chain. Third, ask every supplier about their innovation roadmap. The safe harbor window is closing. FEOC compliance deadlines are active now. The decisions you make this year on partners, manufacturing, and operations will determine whether your company leads or exits by 2028.Connect with Costa Nicolaou LinkedInWebsite Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

In this hard-hitting episode of The Unapologetic Man Podcast, host Mark Sing breaks down 3 advanced frame control mind hacks that instantly separate beta men from real leaders in dating, attraction, and life. Frame control isn't a trick, it's the backbone of masculine presence, and most men destroy attraction without even realizing it by reacting emotionally, explaining themselves, or engaging with the wrong frames. In this episode, Mark shows you how high-value men maintain control by choosing what they engage with and what they ignore, using refusal to engage, strategic ignoring, and no response to shut down tests, flip power dynamics, and build attraction without chasing or qualifying themselves.   Key Takeaways: - Why frame control is the foundation of attraction. - How refusing to engage instantly raises your perceived value. - Why ignoring attraction-killing tests builds more desire than responding. - How no response over text flips the power dynamic in your favor.   Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] – Episode intro and preview [00:00:34] – 2026 message [00:01:48] – Why frame control is everything [00:06:22] – Refuse to engage (RTE) [00:12:10] – Ignore to control the frame (ITC) [00:19:52] – No response (NR) over text [00:22:32] – Advanced texting mind hack [00:26:12] – Episode Outro Connect With Mark: Apply for Mark's 3-Month Coaching Program: https://coachmarksing.com/coaching/ Check Out The Perks Program: https://coachmarksing.com/perks/ Email: CoachMarkSing@Gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachmarksing/ Grab Mark's Free Program: The Approach Formula - https://www.CoachMarkSing.com/The-Approach-Formula   About The Unapologetic Man Podcast The Unapologetic Man Podcast is your resource for mastering dating, attraction, and relationships from a confident, masculine perspective.
