As AI workloads push data center infrastructure in both centralized and distributed directions, the industry is rethinking where compute lives, how data moves, and who controls the networks in between. This episode captures highlights from The Distributed Data Frontier: Edge, Interconnection, and the Future of Digital Infrastructure, a panel discussion from the 2025 Data Center Frontier Trends Summit. Moderated by Scott Bergs of Dark Fiber and Infrastructure, the panel brought together leaders from DartPoints, 1623 Farnam, Duos Edge AI, ValorC3 Data Centers, and 365 Data Centers to examine how edge facilities, interconnection hubs, and regional data centers are adapting to rising power densities, AI inference workloads, and mounting connectivity constraints. Panelists discussed the rapid shift from legacy 4–6 kW rack designs to environments supporting 20–60 kW and beyond, while noting that many AI inference applications can be deployed effectively at moderate densities when paired with the right connectivity. Hospitals, regional enterprises, and public-sector use cases are emerging as key drivers of distributed AI infrastructure, particularly in tier 3 and tier 4 markets. The conversation also highlighted connectivity as a defining bottleneck. Permitting delays, middle-mile fiber constraints, and the need for early carrier engagement are increasingly shaping site selection and time-to-market outcomes. As data centers evolve into network-centric platforms, operators are balancing neutrality, fiber ownership, and long-term upgradability to ensure today's builds remain relevant in a rapidly changing AI landscape.

Read our deal analysis on PaladinPaladin Power CEO Ted Thomas—a U.S. Navy veteran with 20+ years in energy storage and the named inventor on multiple U.S. patents for stackable batteries and integrated power systems—joins Inside Startup Investing to explain how he helped pioneer integrated storage and why Paladin's patented, fire-safe, all-in-one system can make true home energy independence practical. We cover why the inverter is the real bottleneck, how Paladin's stackable 10 kW architecture fast-charges EVs and extends battery life, and how the single-device design replaces a tangle of inverters, batteries, and chargers for faster installs and lower cost. Ted shares traction (incl. enterprise wins like Disney), a revenue jump from < $1M to $7–$8M this year with $20M+ in sight, “Made in USA” manufacturing with Jabil, and what's next as Paladin pushes a decentralized power future.News: Paladin engages Aegis Capital Corp. for IPO advisory while it evaluates capital-markets options—no assurance of any IPO; timing/terms subject to market, regulatory and due-diligence outcomes.Chapters(00:00) We open with why batteries remain the bottleneck for EVs and home solar, and how Paladin's inverter-first architecture changes the equation; (03:28) Ted outlines the mission—make every home independent from the grid—plus why legacy systems were designed for grid-tie, not true autonomy; (06:58) we break down the bi-directional, stackable inverters (up to 80 kW in a compact footprint) and how routing solar directly to loads can double battery life; (09:15) cost and efficiency: delivering 30–60% lower system costs versus status-quo builds; (10:29) scaling: U.S. manufacturing with a contract partner, and why distribution/EPC channels are the fastest path to market; (12:00) whole-home power without load shedding, faster installs, and sub-90-minute at-home EV charging; (13:21) IP and moats: utility patents and why copycats face multi-year certification delays; (15:34) use cases and demand drivers—from Disney facilities to homeowners facing rising rates and outages; (20:56) generators vs storage: when backup gensets still make sense and when solar-plus-storage wins; (22:46) Ted's closing case for investors.

Nová epizóda video podcastu je o teste novej Kie K4, ktorá nahradila populárny Ceed, a o tom, ako autopredajcovia zvyšujú ceny jazdeniek zatajovaním opráv. Poradíme, ako tieto poškodenia odhaliť.Kia K4. Ide o nástupcu modelu Ceed, ktorý prichádza s cieľom pozdvihnúť segment kompaktov na vyššiu úroveň. Podarilo sa?Nový rodinný štandard?Kia K4 jasne signalizuje evolučný prerod. Je väčšia, pôsobí sebavedomejšie a celou svojou koncepciou sa približuje k vozidlám vyššej triedy. Jej línia s decentnou zadnou časťou a LED pásom ju vizuálne posúva skôr k menším fastbackom než k tradičným hatchbackom.Na test sme mali k dispozícii verziu Gold s benzínovým motorom 1.6 T-GDi, ktorá je zameraná na vyvážený pomer výkonu a spotreby, presne tak, ako to väčšina vodičov na bežných cestách potrebuje.V interiéri je jasné, že K4 cieli vyššie. Kabína je moderná a uprataná. Dominantou sú dva displeje fakticky spojené jedného panela. Grafika je čistá, reakcie svižné a ovládanie je logické.K4 však prekvapuje najmä v priestore. Vzadu je miesta nielen pre nohy, ale aj nad hlavou, čo vytvára vzdušnejší pocit, než by ste čakali od vozidla tejto triedy. Praktickosť podčiarkuje aj kufor s objemom 438 litrov, ktorý patrí medzi silné stránky modelu.Jazda a pohonMotor 1.6 T-GDi predstavuje ideálny stred. Ponúva dostatok sily na svižné zrýchlenie, predbiehanie aj na dlhé presuny. Jeho prejav je plynulý.Čo si vyžaduje zvyk, je 7-stupňová dvojspojková prevodovka. Najmä v nižších rýchlostiach pôsobí občas trochu neisto. Paradoxne, najplynulejšie a najkultivovanejšie sa auto správalo v režime Eco, kde prevodovka nepôsobila tak nervózne.Na ceste sa v K4 cítime stabilne. V zákrutách sa nenakláňa a drží stopu s istotou. Je to auto stavané na bezstarostné diaľničné presuny, kde pôsobí pokojne a bezpečne.Výrobca udáva kombinovanú spotrebu okolo 6,8 až 6,9 litra. V našom zmiešanom teste, ktorý zahŕňal všetky typy ciest, sa spotreba ustálila na 8,0 litra na 100 km. Pri plynulej jazde sme sa dostali na 7,4 l/100 km, čo nie je zlá hodnota, ale radšej by sme videli ešte nižšie čísla.Náš názor na Kiu K4 a jej cenyKia K4 vyrástla správnym smerom. Je to auto, ktoré je mimoriadne vyvážené a praktické. Ponúka priestor, moderné technológie a kultivovanú jazdu.Základná cena tohto nového modelu začína od 20 790 €, pričom testované vozidlo vo výbave Gold stojí 26 580 €. Pre porovnanie, stále aktuálny a skvelý odchádzajúci Ceed sa predáva ako nový už od 18 490 €. Nový model K4 je teda len o približne dvetisíc eur drahší.V ponuke je aj verzia s manuálnou 6-stupňovou prevodovkou s motorom 1.0 T-GDi s výkonom 84 kW. Vrcholná výbava GT Line s motorom 1.6 T-GDi s výkonom 132 kW a 7-stupňovým automatom je v predaji za akciových 31 590 €, čo je stále veľmi prijateľná cena na dnešné pomery. Model K4 nájdete v ponuke nových áut na portáli Autobazar.EU s cenami od 22 270 € vo výbave Silver.Každé druhé mladé auto má za sebou poškodenieSpoločnosť Cebia, ktorá sa detailne zaoberá preverovaním histórie vozidiel, sa pozrela na viac ako 52-tisíc áut vyrobených v rokoch 2021 až 2025, ktoré sa predávali na európskom trhu. Výsledky sú znepokojujúce: Viac ako 50% analyzovaných mladých áut (presne 50,93%) má za sebou škodovú udalosť. To znamená, že približne každé druhé vozidlo v ponuke bolo v minulosti poškodené. Priemerný počet poškodení na jedno vozidlo sa pohyboval na úrovni 1,62 škody.Všeobecne platí, že menšie poškodenia sú bežné bez ohľadu na pôvod vozidla. Avšak...

Travis reconnects with long‑time friend and solar sales leader Steven Cohen to break down how door‑to‑door solar has created life‑changing income for thousands of reps—and why the recent merger of Sunder Energy with publicly traded SunPower has only strengthened that opportunity. From early days earning a few hundred dollars per kilowatt to today's multi‑thousand‑dollar commissions, Steven explains how the industry has evolved, what the new legislation means, and why performance‑based sales is still one of the fastest paths out of a capped paycheck. On this episode we talk about: How Sunder Energy grew into one of the largest solar sales dealerships in the U.S. and why SunPower acquired it to power their third‑party ownership (TPO/lease/PPA) strategy going into 2026 What the recent “big, beautiful bill” did to tax credits, why homeowners will lose the 30% credit on ownership, and how finance companies now use that credit on TPO to lower customer costs Current solar commissions (often $700–$800+ per kW and even higher in some markets), realistic income potential for committed reps, and why many people are now earning the same money on less volume The realities of 100% commission work—no base, no benefits, but unlimited upside—and why solar, pest control, alarms, and similar models are better viewed as businesses than jobs How industry corrections, higher interest rates, and weak operators have shaken out tourists from solar—and why those who stay, build teams, and play the long game are best positioned for the next upswing Top 3 Takeaways Performance‑based sales can compress your earning timeline dramatically, but only if you treat it like a business, manage volatility, and stay in the game when conditions get hard instead of chasing the next “easy” industry. Door‑to‑door isn't just about commission checks; it forges rare skills in communication, resilience, team building, and leadership that transfer to any future venture or career. Solar is still a long‑term growth industry despite short‑term corrections; as energy demand soars with AI, data centers, and crypto, those who remain and level up through this cycle are likely to benefit most from the next boom. Notable Quotes “Profits are better than wages—any time you can be paid on the value you create instead of the hours you clock, you give yourself a real shot at financial freedom.” “It's never just about your comp plan; it's about what you believe you're worth and whether you're willing to bet on your performance instead of your time.” “Most people play the finite game and quit when a cycle turns; if you can stay planted for a decade in the right vehicle, you usually win by simply outlasting everyone else.” Connect with Steven Cohen: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevencohen/?hl=en ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Die Marken- und Marketingnews der KW 50 mit folgenden Themen: McDonald's sorgt für Aufmerksamkeit: Der Konzern zog einen KI-generierten Weihnachtsspot nach heftigen Konsumentenkritiken zurück, obwohl der Spot technisch überraschend ausgereift war und keine typischen KI-Fehler zeigte. Zudem führte die Lufthansa Group eine neue Dachmarkenidentität ein, bei der alle Airlines sichtbarer unter einer gemeinsamen Markenarchitektur auftreten sollen – ein strategisch nachvollziehbarer Schritt, der jedoch hohe Anforderungen an einheitliche Markenversprechen stellt. Auf dem internationalen Medienmarkt entbrannte gleichzeitig ein intensiver Bieterwettstreit, da Paramount das bisherige Höchstgebot von Netflix für Warner Bros. deutlich überbot und damit das Rennen erneut spannend machte. Abgerundet wurde die Woche durch die Veröffentlichung der Meaningful Brands Studie, die zeigt, dass Marken den Menschen zunehmend egal werden: 78 Prozent der Befragten könnten problemlos auf den Großteil aller Marken verzichten, was auf eine wachsende Apathie und höhere Wechselbereitschaft hindeutet. ✨

Wenn Sie sich gerade wieder mit Ihrer Kuscheldecke, einem guten Glas Rotwein und einer von innen wärmenden Vorfreude auf Ihren wöchentlichen Genuss der Baywatch-Berlin-Folgenbeschreibung gefreut haben, muss ich Sie dieses Mal leider enttäuschen.

A world-first demonstration combining tidal power, battery storage and hydrogen production has been completed at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney, Scotland. Led by EMEC, the demonstration successfully integrated three technologies - Orbital Marine Power's O2 tidal turbine, vanadium flow batteries supplied by Invinity Energy Systems, and an ITM Power 670 kW electrolyser, at EMEC's onshore site on the island of Eday. EMEC completes 3-in-1 tidal energy, hydrogen and battery demonstration Multiple energy flow scenarios were trialled. During high generation periods, power from the O2 was used to charge the battery system, supply electricity directly to the electrolyser and export power to the grid. When tidal generation was low, the battery system discharged power to the electrolyser to keep the electrolyser operating. This approach effectively smoothed out the cyclical nature of tidal energy, enabling on-demand electricity to power the electrolyser for hydrogen production. In addition, battery power was used to support operations at EMEC's onshore Caldale site. This is the first time globally that tidal power, vanadium flow battery storage and hydrogen production technologies have been integrated into a single energy system. This approach could help overcome future grid constraints and open up new offtake opportunities, paving the way for more resilient, responsive renewable energy systems. All planned operational scenarios were completed, demonstrating the flexibility of the integrated system. Additional safety mitigation measures were put in place during the demonstration and proved effective. As an example, the team responded to an electrolyser trip within seconds to prevent a full site shutdown. The demonstration validated the 3-in-1 concept, highlighted areas for improvement such as battery management and electrolyser controls, and underscored the value of increased automation to minimise human error and enhance system reliability. The demonstration was part of the Interreg North-West Europe funded project, ITEG, which explored how tidal and hydrogen production could be combined as a solution in coastal areas to overcome grid constraints. It has also been supported with funding from Scottish Government via Highlands and Islands Enterprise, and by the EU-funded FORWARD2030 project which has completed detailed monitoring study into how to optimise the integration of tidal energy and battery storage with hydrogen and other offtake routes. Graeme Harrison, Head of Marine Energy at Highlands and Islands Enterprise, said: "HIE and Scottish Government are pleased to have supported the deployment of innovative technologies at EMEC which have combined in this ground-breaking demonstration. "The project illustrates how the highly predictable flows of power from tidal streams can be successfully harnessed in a variety of forms to meet the energy needs of business and communities throughout Scotland and beyond." Leonore Van Velzen, Operations and Maintenance Manager at EMEC said: "This world-first demonstration represents the culmination of years of effort to integrate tidal energy, battery storage and hydrogen production. Bringing together three innovative technologies was a complex challenge, but reaching this milestone has provided invaluable insights. "Running all planned scenarios, responding swiftly to an electrolyser trip and identifying opportunities for greater automation have given us a clear roadmap for optimising future systems. The trial also highlights an alternative pathway for tidal energy in scenarios where grid export capacity is limited, a likely feature in the future as we transition to a fully renewable energy system. "Building on our practical experience with hydrogen, we're now exploring other offtake routes such as synthetic fuel production using renewable hydrogen as a feedstock, a practical solution to decarbonise hard-to-electrify sectors like aviation and maritime. This is especially relev...

Wir nähern uns mit großen Schritten dem Jahresende: Bereits am 11. Dezember sind wir in KW 50 angekommen – der vorletzten Woche des Jahres 2025. Und in der aktuellen Ausgabe unserer Sendung „Was ist denn hier los?“ ist Simon diesmal allein im Studio… zumindest fast. Zur Hälfte der Sendung schaut überraschend Daphne vorbei und präsentiert doch noch ihren Sportblog. Kurz darauf ist sie wieder unterwegs – und Simon übernimmt erneut solo. Doch langweilig wird es trotzdem nicht, denn in unserer Region ist eine Menge los. Besonders in der Adventszeit reiht sich ein weihnachtliches Konzert ans nächste: vom klassischen Weihnachtsoratorium in der Vicelinkirche bis zum festlichen Weihnachtssingen.

What separates a chaotic blitz from a dialed, high-profit machine?In this episode, Nick sits down with Melissa Romiza, known across the solar industry as the “Blitz Queen.” Melissa has led teams doing over 2,100 kW in a two-week blitz, with tight systems, clear standards, and culture strong enough to keep both performance and retention high.Melissa breaks down her entire blitz playbook step by step: how she chooses markets, caps headcount, and enforces a hard two-week cutoff for recruiting so onboarding and training are actually done before reps land. She shares how she structures housing, food, bootcamps, KPIs, and leadership pods so everyone knows exactly what “winning” looks like each day.They also dig into the uncomfortable stuff most leaders avoid: sending people home, holding the line on standards, getting real feedback from reps, and why competition, experiences, and genuine community matter more than another cash bonus. If you run teams, blitzes, or any kind of high-intensity push, this conversation will show you what a real operational standard looks like.

In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Publisher Doug Green speaks with Roel Cortez, Senior Director, Sales–Telecom at C&D Technologies, about how AI-driven network growth is transforming power and energy storage requirements across telecom infrastructure. C&D Technologies—whose batteries and power systems are embedded throughout U.S. carrier networks—supports everything from large switching facilities to distributed inline amplifier (ILA) sites. Cortez describes 2026 through two lenses: physical infrastructure and intelligence. He highlights continued investment in 5G SA and Advanced, aggressive fiber expansion to support data center connectivity, fast-growing fixed wireless, and emerging space-based connectivity. At the intelligence layer, operators are integrating AI to optimize and automate network operations. “Telecom operators are the backbone of digital society, but AI is changing the scale and speed they need to support,” Cortez notes. AI's workload demands are also reshaping optical transport and power engineering. Hyperscalers require extremely high capacity and low latency between data centers, pushing new collaboration with telecom operators—and new pressure on ILA designs. Traditional sites built for a few kilowatts per rack must now support configurations exceeding 100 kW per rack, along with new cooling strategies such as liquid cooling. Cortez points out the tension between hyperscalers' “speed-to-market mindset” and operators' traditional deployment pace, alongside challenges involving brownfield upgrades, greenfield design, and supply chain constraints. As networks virtualize, Cortez emphasizes that intelligent energy storage is the next frontier for resilience. Three components of DC power plants—controllers, rectifiers, and distribution—are already smart and remotely managed. The remaining piece, batteries, is now evolving to match. “Everything in the network is becoming intelligent, and energy storage can't be the exception anymore,” he says. With operators demanding richer telemetry and automated response capabilities, Cortez sees intelligent storage as essential to building flexible, self-aware, AI-ready telecom networks.

Das Zauberwort, dass Autos up to date halten soll, heißt „Modellpflege“. Das beinhaltet in aller Regel optische Änderungen und technische Verbesserungen. So macht es auch Toyota mit dem Corolla Cross. Der erhält rund drei Jahre nach Markteinführung eine Frischzellenkur. Wir schauen mal genauer hin. Darum geht es diesmal!Eine aktuelle Modellpflege beschert dem Toyota Corolla Cross, rund drei Jahre nach Markteinführung, nicht nur ein geschärftes Design und ein aufgewertetes Interieur, sondern auch auch eine besonders sportliche Ausstattungsvariante. Den Vortrieb übernimmt der in zwei Leistungsstufen erhältliche Hybridantrieb, der auf Wunsch mit einem erweiterten Allradsystem vorfährt. Da der neue Corolla Cross bereits bei den Händlern steht, können Sie sich auch ein eigenes Bild machen. Die Preise starten übrigens ab 36.990 Euro.Das Outfit!An der Frontpartie findet sich nun ein wabenförmiger Kühlergrill, der zum einen optische Akzente setzt, zum anderen auch die Luftzufuhr zum Motor verbessert. Im Topmodell kommt neben LED-Scheinwerfern zudem adaptives Fernlicht zum Einsatz, das für optimale Sicht und Sichtbarkeit im Straßenverkehr sorgt, ohne andere Verkehrsteilnehmer zu blenden. Am Heck fallen die neu gestalteten Rückleuchten ins Auge, das geprägte Modelllogo unterstreicht die starke Identität des Corolla Cross.Power und Drive!    Unter der Motorhaube arbeiten weiterhin die effizienten Hybridantriebe der fünften Generation. Kunden können somit unverändert zwischen dem 1,8-Liter-Hybrid mit einer Systemleistung von 103 kW/140 PS und dem 132 kW/180 PS starken 2,0-Liter-Hybrid wählen. Für den stärkeren Motor wird ein intelligenter Allradantrieb (AWD-i) angeboten, der erstmals einen „Snow Extra“-Modus umfasst. Er verbessert die Stabilität und Kontrolle auf verschneiten Straßen. Der zusätzliche Heckmotor des Allradmodells verhindert dabei ein Durchdrehen der Räder und erhöht so die Traktion. Dadurch bleibt der Corolla Cross beim Beschleunigen und Verzögern sowie bei Kurvenfahrten in der Spur, auch der Spurwechsel gelingt sicher und zuverlässig. Die Innenausstattung!Der Toyota Corolla Cross ist schon in der Basisversion Active umfangreich ausgestattet. So verfügt er über ein 10,5-Zoll-Multimediadisplay, eine Zweizonen-Klimaautomatik, eine Rückfahrkamera, ein Lederlenkrad und beheizte Vordersitze. Dazu kommen ein Cloud-basiertes Navigationssystem mit Verkehrsinformationen in Echtzeit, LED-Scheinwerfer sowie elektrisch einstell-, anklapp- und beheizbare Außenspiegel. Der GR Sport ist ausschließlich als 2,0-Liter-Hybrid und wahlweise mit Vorder- oder Allradantrieb erhältlich. Er startet ab 43.490 Euro.Alle Fotos: © Toyota Deutschland GmbH   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

Damit setzt das Aggregat neue Maßstäbe gegenüber seinen Vorgängern. Das Zusammenspiel dreier elektrifizierter Komponenten sorgt für immensen Fahrspaß und hocheffizientes Fahren. Der V6 TDI quattro ist ab sofort für beide Modelle bestellbar. Mit der MHEV plus-Technologie bietet Audi eine Teilelektrifizierung, die einerseits Performance und Fahrerlebnis steigert, andererseits CO2‑Emissionen und Kraftstoffverbrauch verringert. Die Basis dafür bilden der Triebstranggenerator, der Riemenstartergenerator und die Lithium-Eisenphosphat-Batterie. Die wesentliche Aufgabe des Riemenstartergenerators besteht darin, den Motor zu starten und elektrische Energie für die Batterie zu liefern. Der Triebstranggenerator ermöglicht elektrische Fahranteile: im langsamen Stadtverkehr, beim Einparken und Rangieren oder im schwimmenden Verkehr auf Landstraßen geht es rein elektrisch voran. Darüber hinaus unterstützt der Triebstranggenerator beim Anfahren und Überholen mit zusätzlichem Antriebsmoment von bis zu 230 Newtonmetern und bis zu 18 kW (24 PS) Leistung. Beim Verzögern speist er bis zu 25 kW Energie in die Batterie zurück. Hybridischer Antriebsstrang kombiniert drei elektrifizierte Komponenten Im weiterentwickelten Dreiliter-V6 TDI wird die MHEV plus-Technologie nun erstmals um den elektrisch angetriebenen Verdichter erweitert: ein Technologiehub, der die perfekte Balance aus dynamischem Fahrerlebnis und optimiertem Verbrauch ermöglicht. Gleichzeitig ist der elektrisch angetriebene Verdichter in der neu entwickelten Brennverfahrensstrategie ein integraler Bestandteil der Motorsteuerung. Er unterstützt den Abgasturbolader in diesem zweistufigen Aufladekonzept mit höchster Präzision. In Kombination mit der MHEV plus-Elektrifizierung aus Riemenstartergenerator und Triebstranggenerator zeigt der V6 TDI EA897evo4 kraftvolle Leistungsentfaltung in jeder Fahrsituation – beim Anfahren, beim Beschleunigen am Ortsausgang, beim Überholvorgang oder auf der Autobahn.

Artificial intelligence is completely changing how data centers are built and operated. What used to be relatively stable IT environments are now turning into massive power ecosystems. The main reason is simple — AI workloads need far more computing power, and that means far more energy. We're already seeing a sharp rise in total power consumption across the industry, but what's even more striking is how much power is packed into each rack. Not long ago, most racks were designed for 5 to 15 kilowatts. Today, AI-heavy setups are hitting 50 to 70 kW, and the next generation could reach up to 1 megawatt per rack. That's a huge jump — and it's forcing everyone in the industry to rethink power delivery, cooling, and overall site design. At those levels, traditional AC power distribution starts to reach its limits. That's why many experts are already discussing a move toward high-voltage DC systems, possibly around 800 volts. DC systems can reduce conversion losses and handle higher densities more efficiently, which makes them a serious option for the future. But with all this growth comes a big question: how do we stay responsible? Data centers are quickly becoming some of the largest power users on the planet. Society is starting to pay attention, and communities near these sites are asking fair questions — where will all this power come from, and how will it affect the grid or the environment? Building ever-bigger data centers isn't enough; we need to make sure they're sustainable and accepted by the public. The next challenge is feasibility. Supplying hundreds of megawatts to a single facility is no small task. In many regions, grid capacity is already stretched, and new connections take years to approve. Add the unpredictable nature of AI power spikes, and you've got a real engineering and planning problem on your hands. The only realistic path forward is to make data centers more flexible — to let them pull energy from different sources, balance loads dynamically, and even generate some of their own power on-site. That's where ComAp's systems come in. We help data center operators manage this complexity by making it simple to connect and control multiple energy sources — from renewables like solar or wind, to backup generators, to grid-scale connections. Our control systems allow operators to build hybrid setups that can adapt in real time, reduce emissions, and still keep reliability at 100%. Just as importantly, ComAp helps with the grid integration side. When a single data center can draw as much power as a small city, it's no longer just a “consumer” — it becomes part of the grid ecosystem. Our technology helps make that relationship smoother, allowing these large sites to interact intelligently with utilities and maintain overall grid stability. And while today's discussion is mostly around AC power, ComAp is already ready for the DC future. The same principles and reliability that have powered AC systems for decades will carry over to DC-based data centers. We've built our solutions to be flexible enough for that transition — so operators don't have to wait for the technology to catch up. In short, AI is driving a complete rethink of how data centers are powered. The demand and density will keep rising, and the pressure to stay responsible and sustainable will only grow stronger. The operators who succeed will be those who find smart ways to integrate different energy sources, keep efficiency high, and plan for the next generation of infrastructure. That's the space where ComAp is making a real difference.

In this episode of the DCF Show podcast, Data Center Frontier Editor in Chief Matt Vincent sits down with Bill Severn, CEO of 1623 Farnam, to explore how the Omaha carrier hotel is becoming a critical aggregation hub for AI, cloud, and regional edge growth. A featured speaker on The Distributed Data Frontier panel at the 2025 DCF Trends Summit, Severn frames the edge not as a location but as the convergence of eyeballs, network density, and content—a definition that underpins Farnam's strategy and rise in the Midwest. Since acquiring the facility in 2018, 1623 Farnam has transformed an underappreciated office tower on the 41st parallel into a thriving interconnection nexus with more than 40 broadband providers, 60+ carriers, and growing hyperscale presence. The AI era is accelerating that momentum: over 5,000 new fiber strands are being added into the building, with another 5,000 strands expanding Meet-Me Room capacity in 2025 alone. Severn remains bullish on interconnection for the next several years as hyperscalers plan deployments out to 2029 and beyond. The conversation also dives into multi-cloud routing needs across the region—where enterprises increasingly rely on Farnam for direct access to Google Central, Microsoft ExpressRoute, and global application-specific cloud regions. Energy efficiency has become a meaningful differentiator as well, with the facility operating below a 1.5 PUE, thanks to renewable chilled water, closed-loop cooling, and extensive free cooling cycles. Severn highlights a growing emphasis on strategic content partnerships that help CDNs and providers justify regional expansion, pointing to past co-investments that rapidly scaled traffic from 100G to more than 600 Gbps. Meanwhile, AI deployments are already arriving at pace, requiring collaborative engineering to fit cabinet weight, elevator limitations, and 40–50 kW rack densities within a non–purpose-built structure. As AI adoption accelerates and interconnection demand surges across the heartland, 1623 Farnam is positioning itself as one of the Midwest's most important digital crossroads—linking hyperscale backbones, cloud onramps, and emerging AI inference clusters into a cohesive regional edge.

On this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, DartPoints CEO Scott Willis joins Editor in Chief Matt Vincent to discuss why regional data centers are becoming central to the future of AI and digital infrastructure. Fresh off his appearance on the Distributed Edge panel at the 2025 DCF Trends Summit, Willis breaks down how DartPoints is positioning itself in non-tier-one markets across the Midwest, Southeast, and South Central regions—locations he believes will play an increasingly critical role as AI workloads move closer to users. Willis explains that DartPoints' strategy hinges on a deeply interconnected regional footprint built around carrier-rich facilities and strong fiber connectivity. This fabric is already supporting latency-sensitive workloads such as AI inference and specialized healthcare applications, and Willis expects that demand to accelerate as enterprises seek performance closer to population centers. Following a recent recapitalization with NOVA Infrastructure and Orion Infrastructure Capital, DartPoints has launched four new expansion sites designed from the ground up for higher-density, AI-oriented workloads. These facilities target rack densities from 30 kW to 120 kW and are sized in the 10–50 MW range—large enough for meaningful HPC and AI deployments but nimble enough to move faster than hyperscale builds constrained by long power queues. Speed to market is a defining advantage for DartPoints. Willis emphasizes the company's focus on brownfield opportunities where utility infrastructure already exists, reducing deployment timelines dramatically. For cooling, DartPoints is designing flexible environments that leverage advanced air systems for 30–40 kW racks and liquid cooling for higher densities, ensuring the ability to support the full spectrum of enterprise, HPC, and edge-adjacent AI needs. Willis also highlights the importance of community partnership. DartPoints' facilities have smaller footprints and lower power impact than hyperscale campuses, allowing the company to serve as a local economic catalyst while minimizing noise and aesthetic concerns. Looking ahead to 2026, Willis sees the industry entering a phase where AI demand becomes broader and more distributed, making regional markets indispensable. DartPoints plans to continue expanding through organic growth and targeted M&A while maintaining its focus on interconnection, high-density readiness, and rapid, community-aligned deployment. Tune in to hear how DartPoints is shaping the next chapter of distributed digital infrastructure—and why the market is finally moving toward the regional edge model Willis has championed.

Ethereum hasn't reached full speed yet. Now it might. Justin Drake of the Ethereum Foundation outlines Lean Ethereum, a plan to optimise the stack so validators stop executing and start verifying. With zk proofs in under 12 seconds and on-prem provers around 10 kW, the base layer can reach gigagas capacity and roughly 10,000 TPS while getting more decentralized. Add Fossil, seconds-level finality, and post-quantum signatures, and the changes stick. We unpack the EthProofs race, the four-phase path to mandatory proofs, the three-times-a-year gas target in EIP-7938, and why native rollups could remove gas ceilings for L2s. If you're wondering whether Ethereum can scale without turning into a data center chain, this is the roadmap. ---

Can Cloud Harvesting Revolutionize Water Production? A Deep Dive into AirHES Technology

In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, DCF Editor-in-Chief Matt Vincent speaks with Ed Nichols, President and CEO of Expanse Energy / RRPT Hydro, and Gregory Tarver, Chief Electrical Engineer, about a new kind of hydropower built for the AI era. RRPT Hydro's piston-driven gravity and buoyancy system generates electricity without dams or flowing rivers—using the downward pull of gravity and the upward lift of buoyancy in sealed cylinders. Once started, the system runs self-sufficiently, producing predictable, zero-emission power. Designed for modular, scalable deployment—from 15 kW to 1 GW—the technology can be installed underground or above ground, enabling data centers to power themselves behind the meter while reducing grid strain and even selling excess energy back to communities. At an estimated Levelized Cost of Energy of $3.50/MWh, RRPT Hydro could dramatically undercut traditional renewables and fossil power. The company is advancing toward commercial readiness (TRL 7–9) and aims to build a 1 MW pilot plant within 12–15 months. Nichols and Tarver describe this moonshot innovation, introduced at the 2025 DCF Trends Summit, as a “Wright Brothers moment” for hydropower—one that could redefine sustainable baseload energy for data centers and beyond. Listen now to explore how RRPT Hydro's patented piston-driven system could reshape the physics, economics, and deployment model of clean energy.

Bluetech's wind-optimized SeaWasp tanker design models demonstrate significant gains in propulsion power and fuel savings on representative trade routes, based on a joint research project with tanker owner International Seaways, Inc. (INSW) Bluetech partnered with NYSE-listed INSW to explore a critical question: Can wind propulsion deliver more power in our ships of the future? Advanced simulations using Bluetech's new 'SeaWasp' vessel design showed the answer to be a resounding yes. SeaWasp boosts vessel performance With the support of wind-propulsion specialist Norsepower, Bluetech modified its BT50 design to extract maximum forward thrust from two 35-metre Rotor SailsTM. This resulted in a total savings of up to 876 kW of propulsion power on one representative INSW MR tanker route from San Francisco to South Korea - equating to around 597.2 MT of fuel per annum. The design modifications alone are estimated to contribute 104 kW or 71.5 MT of the savings, effectively improving the vessel's overall performance by around 13.5% in certain conditions. Wind-assisted ship propulsion (WASP or sometimes WAPS) technologies have traditionally been used to add propulsion power to existing ship types that were not originally designed to accommodate such forces. Even newbuild projects that integrate WASP from the planning phase make little or no changes to the ship's overall design beyond what is necessary to install the units and comply with regulations. However, Bluetech's designers went back to the drawing board with SeaWasp, creating a vessel that is purpose-designed for wind, but still practical for INSW MR fleet operations. STRONG FOCUS ON OPERATING PROFILE "We set out to develop a ship that is entirely WASP-optimized, but maintains every essential operational feature and meets all trade-specific terminal and port restrictions," said Sam Robin, Director of Energy Savings Solutions at Bluetech. Michael LaGrassa, Director of Performance and New Construction at INSW, added: "We focused on more than just energy savings and emissions reduction - our goal was a concept design that works in the real-world conditions of the MR trade. That meant ensuring reasonable build costs, equivalent cargo capacity and a design fit for purpose. Our approach was to test a wide range of scenarios across the MR trade, rather than rely on selectively favorable assumptions." For this reason, the project also carefully examined the lower end of the savings potential. For example, on a route from South Korea to Singapore, the SeaWasp saves 185.9 MT or 275 kW per annum versus a conventionally powered BT50, due to the prevailing wind directions. Keeping such a baseline allowed for a range in the data analysis and ensured that any commercial projections were realistic. EFFICIENCY BY DESIGN - ABOVE AND BELOW THE WATERLINE "On routes where wind propulsion offers limited advantage, the inherent efficiency of the vessel's core design becomes paramount. The BT50 design is itself approximately 12% more efficient than the typical tanker performance profiles in the sample fleet. Our design modifications enhance that efficiency even further," said Robin. One ground-breaking feature beneath the waterline is a unique new fin design dubbed 'blueSURF' that computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis shows has significant power saving potential. "We were genuinely surprised to see such pronounced benefits in power demand, making the fins an additional powerful design modification that improves the case for WASP deployment," said Juha Hanhinen, Head of Hydrodynamics at Bluetech. Modifications above the waterline include an aero upper deck and superstructure, as well as semi-enclosed mooring stations to reduce wind disturbance. COMPARING CONFIGURATIONS The project also examined which Rotor SailsTM configuration - four smaller 24-metre devices instead of the two 35-metre devices - had the best combination of cost versus thrust. "Each configuration had slightly better performan...

En Capital Intereconomía, los Desayunos Capital han estado protagonizados por Inma Cima, Country Manager de Fastned España, compañía europea líder en recarga ultrarrápida de vehículos eléctricos, que acaba de inaugurar sus dos primeras estaciones en el país, ubicadas en Garraf Norte y Garraf Sur (Barcelona), con un total de 16 puntos de carga de hasta 400 kW, capaces de ofrecer 300 kilómetros de autonomía en tan solo 15 minutos. Cima ha subrayado que este lanzamiento marca el inicio de un ambicioso plan de expansión, con el objetivo de alcanzar una docena de estaciones a corto plazo y hasta 80 infraestructuras en 2030. Para Fastned, España “juega un papel clave en la transición hacia una movilidad eléctrica más avanzada” gracias a su posición estratégica y al creciente compromiso con la descarbonización. La directiva ha destacado también los principales retos del sector, entre ellos la burocracia y la falta de un marco regulatorio homogéneo, que siguen ralentizando el despliegue de la red de recarga. “Tenemos la tecnología y la inversión, pero necesitamos agilidad administrativa”, señaló. Además, defendió la importancia de la colaboración público-privada como motor del cambio hacia una movilidad más sostenible. Fastned se diferencia por su modelo de recarga ultrarrápida abierta y universal, disponible para todos los vehículos eléctricos, y por el diseño de sus estaciones —amplias, cubiertas y con energía 100% renovable— que busca mejorar la experiencia del usuario. Cima apuntó que España tiene “una gran oportunidad para liderar la movilidad eléctrica en Europa”, si logra acelerar la implantación de infraestructura de alta calidad. En la segunda parte del programa, Carlos Cruzado, portavoz de GESTHA, explicó los motivos detrás de la huelga convocada por los Técnicos de Hacienda para el 26 de noviembre, que incluirá una manifestación en Madrid con profesionales llegados de toda España. Cruzado denunció la falta de reconocimiento profesional y retributivo del colectivo, reclamando una reestructuración interna y mejoras en las condiciones laborales. Finalmente, Ángel Barajas, presidente de la Sociedad Española de Economía del Deporte, analizó “El poder del dinero en el deporte”, reflexionando sobre el creciente peso de fondos de inversión y magnates internacionales en la propiedad de clubes y competiciones. Barajas advirtió que, aunque estos capitales aportan liquidez y profesionalización, también plantean riesgos de pérdida de identidad y sostenibilidad a largo plazo, señalando la necesidad de una regulación más equilibrada en el sector.

France launches the world's first live EV-charging highway, while new data shows holiday shoppers are blending online convenience with a strong return to in-store experiences.Show Notes with links:As consumers crave convenience and service bays become scarce, dealerships are rethinking what “fixed ops” means. Bozard Ford-Lincoln's Ed Roberts has shown what success looks like: 46 mobile units, 43 techs, and $10 million in annual revenue. “Everything you can do in a shop without a lift can be done in the field,” Roberts said.The mobile repair segment grew 15% in 2024—nearly twice the growth of the overall “do-it-for-me” market—according to the Lang Aftermarket Report.Industry analysts predict mobile service will soon be an OEM standard, driven by capacity shortages, customer demand, and the undeniable appeal of “winning driveways.”Apple Tree Honda and Acura in North Carolina now run three Ford Transit vans daily, tackling maintenance and light repairs for customers who'd rather not come in.Fixed Ops Director Richard Lupo built the program from the ground up, using Urban Science data to pinpoint customers they weren't reaching—and consultants like Spiffy to scale operations efficiently.In a world first, France has flipped the switch on a stretch of highway that wirelessly charges EVs as they drive. The A10 motorway near Paris now delivers real-time power to vehicles in motion—potentially redefining how we think about range and charging altogether.VINCI Autoroutes and Electreon embedded coils beneath 1.5 km of roadway for the “Charge as You Drive” project.The inductive system hits peak power above 300 kW, verified by independent labs.Vehicles including a truck, van, bus, and car are already charging while cruising in live traffic.Even in an age of scrolling and swiping, shoppers still want to see, touch, and feel the holidays. Two new studies—from NIQ and Quad/Harris Poll—show consumers are going omnichannel, but physical retail and print are far from dead.66% of shoppers plan to browse online, but 64% will visit stores—and nearly 3 in 4 say in-store shopping gets them into the holiday spirit.76% of Americans see visiting stores as a holiday ritual, and 66% say their favorite gifts came from unexpected in-store finds.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier0:52 Edge Webinar this Wednesday1:25 Early Adopters Are Pushing Mobile Service Forward2:43 Richard Lupo of Apple Tree Honda and Acura joins the show9:39 France Launches Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Nová značka áut Omoda čelí reputačnému peklu pre virálne poľské video. Neverte však všetkému, čo vidíte na internete. My sme jej SUV jazdili týždeň, sumarizujeme pozitívne aj negatívne poznatky z testu. Asi ste aj vy videli video s poľským novinárom, ktorý na čínskom SUV odtrhol volant aj so stĺpikom riadenia. „Ja som mal toto auto celý týždeň, prešiel som ním tisíc kilometrov a viem posúdiť, že táto internetová senzácia je buď zinscenovaný podvod, alebo urputná snaha uškodiť značke Omoda,“ hovorí v podcaste Erik Stríž z portálu Autobazar.EU.V tejto epizóde sa venujeme nielen osobnej skúsenosti s čínskym SUV Omoda 5, ako aj prekvapujúco zaujímavej konferencii Toyoty a BECEPu o zdanlivo nudnej téme - používaní bezpečnostných pásov. Napokon nás odborníci ohromili tým, čo ukázali a povedali. V podcaste budete vidieť a počuť aj známeho lietajúceho doktora Michala Pečíka a zástupcu organizácie BECEP Romana Töröka.Skúsenosti s Omoda 5Značka Omoda je u nás horúcou novinkou, vstúpila na slovenský trh spoločne s ďalšou čínskou značkou áut Jaecoo. Obe patria pod automobilku Chery. O dovoz a servis oboch sa stará dobre etablovaný importér a zaujímavosťou je, že nejde len o elektromobily, ale aj konvenčné benzínové automobily s moderným hybridným pohonom.Testovaný model 5 je stredne veľké SUV, veľkosťou zodpovedá Škode Karoq, Hyundaiu Kona či Citroënu C3 Aircross. Vzhľadom sa nápadne podobá na Nissan Qashqai, ale nemôžeme hovoriť o kopírovaní. Omoda je svojská, poukazujú na to najmä detaily. Naviac, Qashqai je dlhší o 5 centimetrov a rázvor má dlhší o 4 centimetre.Priestrannosť interiéru je však porovnateľná aj s Hyundai Tucson či Kia Sportage. Naše subjektívne dojmy z interiéru boli naozaj pozitívne. Nepostrehli sme vŕzganie, nepresnosti v dielenskom vypracovaní, ani sme nemali dojem, že by bol volant labilný. Samozrejme, nevieme, ako budú povrchové materiály vyzerať o niekoľko rokov. Keď budú Omody dostupné ako jazdenky so 100-tisíc km, pozrieme sa znova.Omoda sa prezentuje ako technologicky vyspelá značka a treba povedať, že na nás aj tak pôsobila najmä vďaka dobre spravenému infotainmentu a bezpečnostným funkciám. Infotainment pripomína systémy v Tesle, Xpengu či v nových Volkswagenoch. Občas sme registrovali menšie spomalenia systému a také udržiavanie v strede jazdného pruhu nebolo úplne spoľahlivé, ale celkový dojem je prevažne pozitívny. Oceňujeme slovenskú lokalizáciu a najmä stabilné bezdrôtové Android Auto. S ním majú teraz automobilky z nejakého dôvodu problémy.Toto je nie elektrické SUV. Omodu 5 poháňa benzínový 1.6 T-GDI, čo je štvorvalcový benzínový motor so solídnym výkonom 108 kW (147 koní). Má krútiaci moment až 275 Nm, automatická prevodovka má 7 stupňov a dve spojky. Vskutku dobrý základ pre dynamickú jazdu.Po týždni však musíme uznať, že nás tento motor mierne sklamal pre svoju veľmi priemernú pružnosť. Na diaľnici nám neraz pripravil nemilé prekvapenie, keď reagoval s oneskorenami a príliš rozvážne. Práca automatickej prevodovky bola chvíľami tiež príliš citeľná, tendencia podtáčať motor je tu zrejme kvôli spĺňaniu nárokov emisnej normy EURO 6e.Lenže pri mestských rýchlostiach sme vedeli oceniť kultivovaný chod, pokojný jazdný prejav a dosť dobrú schopnosť tlmičov filtrovať nerovnosti. Omoda 5 má vzadu vpredu nápravu typu MacPherson, čo je štandard, no vzadu viacprvkovú nápravu multi-link. To už štandard nie je, mnohé európske kompaktné SUV majú vzadu len tuhé nápravy, teda závislé zavesenie kolies. Azda aj to prospieva stabilite vozidla v meste aj pri ofenzívnom jazdnom štýle, no nevyhýba sa nakláňaniu karosérie. A vyslovene nás Omoda 5 vytrápila v miernom teréne, kde sa karoséria vyslovene zmietala. Skrátka, toto auto je určené na spevnenú vozovku, čo najkvalitnejšiu.Omoda 5 ICE na Slovensku ponúka...

Brad kicks off a solo episode (recorded before a trip to Germany) and turns the mic to rangeland scientist Anna Clare for a deep dive into “the solar savanna”—treating solar arrays on grasslands as functioning grazing ecosystems. She shares early results from Silicon Ranch's Cattle Tracker research on integrating cattle (not just sheep) with PV systems. Brad follows with University of Minnesota's on-farm demos: panel heights that work for cattle, heat-stress reductions, forage performance under panels, and a mobile, battery-equipped shade/solar rig. If you're curious how and when cattle can safely graze under solar, this one's packed with data and practical design tips.Key takeawaysSolar as savanna: Think of arrays as shade “canopies” over grasslands—manage them as grazing systems with soils, roots, pollinators, and large herbivores in mind.Cattle can work under PV: Moving from sheep to cattle is feasible when arrays are designed with animal size/behavior in mind.Panel height matters: In controlled mockups, animal interactions dropped 43% from 2.0→2.5 m and 59% at 3.0 m. Cattle never touched panels; most curiosity was with dampers—a design hotspot.Ecosystem wins: Under-panel zones showed higher soil moisture and lower soil temperatures, favoring cool-season grasses and legumes; regrowth dynamics can improve after grazing passes.Animal welfare benefits: UMN trials showed lower respiration rates and 0.5–1.0 °F lower internal body temperatures during hot afternoons for shaded cows—meaningfully less heat stress.Forage production holds up (or improves): Certain mixes (e.g., orchardgrass, meadow fescue; grass-legume combos) produced equal or greater biomass under panels with no drop in nutritive value.Design for cattle, not fear: After a decade of on-farm experience, Brad's team hasn't seen cattle damage panels; people and tractors are more likely risks than cows.Practical layouts: Keep inverters outside fences, route wiring high/inside racking, and allow equipment lanes; rotational grazing and (potentially) virtual fencing fit well.Innovation on wheels: A 20 kW mobile bifacial shade rig with onboard batteries can power irrigation, fencing, and even an electric tractor—bringing agrivoltaics to wherever cattle need relief.Research & projects mentionedSilicon Ranch – Cattle Tracker: multi-year cattle-PV integration study; Phase 2 is a 4.5 MW Tennessee “outdoor test lab” comparing array vs. open pasture for behavior, space use, health/performance, plus mirrored ecosystem monitoring.Comprehensive literature review (AGU Earth's Future – in press): Maps intersections among livestock–solar–land, identifies six research gaps (integration, layered ecology, modeling, best practices, social dimensions, collaborative science).UMN Morris agrivoltaics demos: Fixed-tilt arrays at 6–8 ft (1.8–2.4 m) leading edge; 0.5 MW pasture array powering campus; vertical bifacial and crop-under-PV pilots coming; EV fast charger powered by cow-shade solar.Who it's forDevelopers, ranchers, extension pros, and policy folks exploring dual-use solar that keeps grasslands working and cattle comfortable.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory 

Hi Everyone, I interviewed Courtney Pippin-Mathur, children's book author and illustrator. I got to meet and talk with Courtney in person at a KW retreat and she was so welcoming!Here is more about Courtney:Courtney grew up in East Texas and passed the hot summer days reading, drawing, watching She-Ra and exploring her grandma's farm. She doodled constantly through elementary, middle and high school but didn't think about art as a career until a fateful art history class at The University of Texas at Austin. After transferring from Government to Studio Art, she moved to the east coast and started pursing a career in childrens' books where she could combine all of her favorite things.She now lives in Northern VA with her husband and three kids and is the author/illustrator of several picture books, Maya was Grumpy, Dragons Rule, Princesses Drool, Fairies Don't Fight and Dinosaur Days (2026, author only) She has also co-written and illustrated  a picture book with her sister-in-law, Sanyukta Mathur, titled Happy Diwali! and illustrated It's Holi! which Sanyukta wrote. Courtney also makes paper maché and polymer clay figures, ornaments, original acrylic paintings and more.

Among the Tlingit people of Sheet'ká Kwáan (Sitka, Alaska), the yaaw, the herring, are honored as sacred relatives. The story of Kaxátjaashaa, the Herring Rock Woman, tells how the first herring came when she sang to them with respect, laying their eggs in her hair. From this teaching, Kiks.ádi women have carried responsibilities to the yaaw for generations through ceremony, harvesting, and collective care.In this conversation, Kh'asheechtlaa – Louise Brady, of the Kiks.ádi (Raven Moiety – Frog Clan), shares stories of the yaaw, their importance to Tlingit culture and ceremony, and their place in the wider ecosystem that supports whales, birds, fish, and people. She also speaks about the founding of the Herring Protectors, an Indigenous women-led grassroots movement rooted in traditional teachings that celebrates the yaaw, challenges destructive extractive practices, and asserts a sovereign Tlingit relationship with the land and waters.We invite you to join this webinar to learn about the yaaw, the people who continue to honor them, and why protecting herring matters for the life of the Ocean and for us all. Support the show

In this episode, host Beau Wigington chats with Adam Heffner (Hero Machine Co.) about his unconventional journey from a third-generation butcher to ironworker to fabricator, and why many small shops hit a tipping point where a 2 kW fiber laser on single-phase power outperforms plasma for cost, time, and quality. Recorded at FABTECH from the Hero Machine Co. booth, Adam breaks down real numbers on consumables, cleanup time, and when to make the jump from plasma to laser.Key Topics Covered:Business is a trade, too: why fab skills need business skills to turn into profit.From side hustle to shop: working “7-10s” for three years to de-risk going full-time.Insurance realities: how coverage limits push new shops toward non-critical work early on.Plasma → Laser math: the break-even window around 40–55 cutting hours/month.Consumables & cleanup: plasma (~$30/1,000 pierces + ~1 hr cleanup per cutting hour) vs. laser ($6 lower lens/week + ~5 minutes cleanup per cutting hour).Power & air you already have: running a 2 kW laser on 220V single-phase with a standard ~10 HP compressor + dryer.Cut capacity: 2 kW fiber laser cutting 5/8" mild steel—and why power isn't the whole story.Build vs. buy: lessons from DIY presses and tables, and why support/QC matter.Supply chain + QC: avoiding bait-and-switch by inspecting at the source.Winning architectural work: translating “pretty” drawings into constructible submittals, staying on schedule, and protecting margin when delays escalate.Systems that scale: MRP, workstations, and process flow so the shop runs on rails.The “Hero” idea: giving small shops a superpower that lets them price competitively and win bids.Memorable Quotes:“Business is a trade, just like metal fabrication.”“If you're cutting more than ~40–55 hours a month, you really should have a laser.”“You can unplug your plasma table and be cutting 5/8" mild steel on a 2 kW fiber laser, on single-phase 220V.”“My mantra was: make the means of production.”“I didn't want to die with a dream.”Learn more Hero Machine Co.Website - https://heromachineco.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574579615110 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heromachineco YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3LhWJjQrF4bmbdffkSbE8A Connect with Beau WigingtonInstagram: @beaudiditwelding https://www.instagram.com/beaudiditwelding LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beauwigington E-Mail : beauw@weld.com

Episode Overview In this powerhouse episode that is originally streamed 7 months ago, John Kitchens, Jay Kinder, and Al Stasek dive deep into the future of real estate leadership, the evolution of brokerage models, and what the next 18 months will look like for the industry. From Keller Williams' latest strategic moves to the unstoppable rise of EXP Realty, the crew unpacks the business lessons, market realities, and leadership frameworks that define success in a rapidly changing market. This conversation isn't just about brokerage wars—it's about building a moat around your business, leading through uncertainty, and embracing innovation, data, and AI to stay relevant in the new era of real estate. What You'll Learn in This Episode The Future of Real Estate Leadership Why your moat—the defensibility of your business model—will determine survival in the next 18 months. How to think like a wartime CEO and lead through disruption. Why leadership loyalty, core values, and promoting from within build unbeatable organizations. Lessons from the Legacy Brands What Keller Williams' latest moves reveal about the state of traditional brokerages. Why culture kept KW alive—and why innovation is now leaving it behind. The pitfalls of the franchise model vs. the agility of cloud-based companies. The Rise of EXP Realty Why EXP's operational efficiency and same-day pay systems are redefining brokerage excellence.

The next strategic move EXP is making (hint: it's about to cripple the competition). AI, Data, and the Consumer Shift The race between brokerages to own data + AI—and why that's where the real power lies. How AI will reshape not just agent operations but also the consumer buying and selling journey. Why the agents who learn to leverage AI now will dominate the next decade. Scaling, Systems, and the Right People How fast growth exposes weak talent—and why “ones and threes” matter for scaling. Why every CEO must master the cycle of clarity, constraint, and culture. What EXP's leadership lessons from Glen Sanford and Leo Pareja teach about visionary vs. wartime leadership.

Government grants and incentives have widened adoption, and zero-emission vehicles now account for over 22% of new cars registered in 2025, while diesel registrations plummeted to historic lows. TESLA TEASES OCTOBER 7 MODEL Y REVEAL Tesla released a teaser for an October 7 Model Y reveal, sparking speculation over a more affordable variant intended to boost sales momentum and address product aging. The event is pivotal as Tesla faces pressure from competition and expiring federal incentives; analysts expect production ramp-up of the lower-cost Model Y in Q4. TESLA GERMANY SEPTEMBER SALES AND BYD SURGE In Germany, BEV registrations rose 31.9% year-over-year, but Tesla's numbers fell 9.4% in September and halved since January, while Chinese rival BYD saw registrations soar beyond twenty-fold for the month. The rise of competitors and market diversification are accelerating electrification, prompting legacy automakers to refresh offerings despite Tesla's updated Model Y achieving stronger results in other parts of Europe. EUROPE EV SALES RISE IN AUGUST European plug-in vehicle sales climbed 36% year-over-year in August to about 246,000 units, outpacing overall market growth and raising BEV share to 21%. Popular models like Tesla's Model Y, Skoda Elroq, and Model 3 contributed to momentum, reinforcing investment in charging infrastructure and fleet electrification. FRANCE SEPTEMBER EV MARKET UPDATE France saw 140,090 total registrations in September with plug-in vehicles making up 29% of sales, as BEVs and PHEVs increased their market share compared to last year. The Tesla Model Y led the month's results with its best French volume in two years, pointing to strengthening Q3 demand for electrification despite a slight year-to-date shortfall. AUDI US EV SALES SURGE Q3 2025 Audi's U.S. EV sales leaped 232% to 18,071 units in Q3 2025, with electrics making up 39% of the brand's quarterly volume as the Q6 e-tron outsold its ICE sibling Q5. The shift signals consumer preference for electric variants, but ongoing growth depends on scaled production, dealer readiness, and effective ownership economics. CADILLAC Q3 EV SALES SURGE Cadillac delivered 18,383 EVs in Q3—a record since 2013—boosted by expiring tax credits, with electric models chosen by 40% of buyers in the period. Q3 EV deliveries rose 154% year-over-year, though upcoming quarters will test Cadillac's ability to sustain the momentum. BMW AND STELLANTIS MATCH FEDERAL EV CREDIT BMW and Stellantis are offsetting the loss of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit by applying equivalent discounts to eligible electric and plug‑in hybrid models. The offers, restricted to dealer inventory and requiring delivery by early November, are intended to prevent immediate price hikes and maintain sales amidst changing incentives. DACIA SPRING UPGRADED WITH MORE POWER AND LFP Dacia's upgraded Spring city car features new, more powerful motors and a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that improves cost and safety while maintaining a WLTP range of 140 miles. The revised models, now quicker and more efficient, are priced from £15,000 to £17,000 and arrive early next year. SCANIA HIGH-FLOOR ELECTRIC COACH PLATFORM Scania has launched a high-floor battery-electric coach platform with up to 600 km range, supporting multiple body types and maintaining luggage space comparable to conventional coaches. The new platform comes with integrated smart charging services and aims to advance commercial vehicle electrification across Europe. KIA PV5: ELECTRIC LIGHT COMMERCIAL VAN Kia's new PV5 electric van, built on a dedicated E-GMP.S platform, offers multiple body styles, battery options up to 258 miles, and fast DC charging of up to 150 kW.
