They delve into strategies for easing patient anxiety, the power of empathy and encouragement, and how to foster patient empowerment. The conversation also covers current bracing options, educational practices, and helpful resources for clinicians and families navigating scoliosis care.  O&P Clinical Care Insiders is produced by Association Briefings.

Amoureux des balades en pleine nature, tendez l'oreille et ouvrez l'œil : une nouvelle application pourrait bien devenir votre meilleure compagne de promenade. Son nom ? OisApp, développée par la Ligue pour la protection des oiseaux (LPO) en partenariat avec Sunbird Images et avec le soutien de l'Office français pour la biodiversité.Gratuite, disponible sur Google Play et l'Apple Store, cette application permet d'identifier près de 400 espèces d'oiseaux parmi les plus fréquentes en France métropolitaine. Au programme : plus de 1 200 illustrations de grande qualité, des fiches descriptives rédigées par les ornithologues de la LPO, et des cartes de répartition détaillées en France et en Europe. L'un des atouts majeurs d'OisApp : elle fonctionne hors connexion. Parfaite pour ceux qui s'aventurent loin du réseau mobile. Une fois sur le terrain, l'utilisateur peut enregistrer et géolocaliser ses observations, et identifier les oiseaux à partir de critères physiques comme la forme du bec, la couleur du plumage ou la taille.Et pour les plus curieux, une option payante à 19,99 € par an donne accès à des outils encore plus poussés : la reconnaissance automatique des sons et des images. Photographiez ou enregistrez un chant d'oiseau, et l'appli tente de l'identifier grâce à l'intelligence artificielle. Des fonctionnalités prometteuses, bien que la LPO rappelle que leur fiabilité dépend des conditions de prise de son ou d'image. Une partie des bénéfices est reversée à la LPO, pour soutenir ses actions en faveur de la biodiversité. Déjà déployée dans plusieurs pays européens, OisApp s'enrichira au fil du temps, et entend bien réconcilier technologie et nature… pour mieux protéger les oiseaux, et apprendre à les reconnaître.

Hosted by: Damon, Damon, & Tisha Guest Hosts: CMDCM Aaron Paul & YNCS (Ret.) Coby Turner Featured Guest: CMDCM Frank Jackson   In this week's episode of Permission to Speak Freely, the crew jumps straight into chaos—because why ease into anything?   We open with a wild Facebook post about a military divorce that involves a holiday party hookup, a surprise paternity reveal, and a woman wondering if she's still entitled to half her retiring husband's paycheck—even though the kid ain't his and the CO might be the father. Yeah… it gets there fast. And no, we're not making any of that up.   From there, the conversation pivots into the serious stuff: leadership, accountability, and the fallout from yet another high-profile scandal in the Navy. The crew breaks down what happens when people at the top forget who they're supposed to be—and what it means when everyone below them sees it happening. Guest, CMDCM Frank Jackson brings the heat with talk of Bathsheba Syndrome, Fat Leonard comparisons, and the quiet rot that builds when no one speaks up.   We also unpack a Reddit post that calls out toxic command climates, and instead of brushing it off, the crew actually leans in and listens. Add in a “do better” submission about LPO drama, some hard truths about the Chief season grind, and a little command identity crisis (spoiler: quarterdecks don't belong in office buildings), and this episode covers it all.     To have your “Do Better” reviewed on a future episode, please get in touch with us at ptsfpodcast@gmail.com   Keep up with the ‘Permission to Speak Freely' podcast on our social media and YouTube - https://linktr.ee/Ptsfpodcast     Additional Credits: PTSF “Theme Music” - Produced by Lim0

​In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted interviews Susan Gladwin. She's just finished a 2.5 year role in the U.S. Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office (LPO). The office, under the leadership of Jigar Shah, had an amplified mandate to foster innovative companies launching energy innovations. The Inflation Reduction Act boosted the LPO's budget from $40 billion to $400 billion making it the world's largest green bank.Jigar Shar brought Susan and other professionals to Washington to help with the LPO's surge of activity, what they all knew was a moment in time. Susan's role at the LPO was in supporting loans for Clean Energy Title 17 projects... focusing on virtual power plants. The key was helping companies on a "bridge to bankability," helping promising firms with solid technologies in their execution of business plans to scale up and seek conventional financing.Since leaving the LPO, Susan has been on assignment with Planetary Boundaries, a UK-based organization with leading, global sustainability professionals that has established nine principles/indicators of planetary well-being. Alas, there are still many red-light indicators, but a framework has been established that is helping countries in their policies and practices.In this episode, Susan shares aspects of her career and what motivates her: She was educated in science and information technology, worked for Apple on the launch of I-Tunes, and she developed AutoDesk's clean energy design integration. She's now moved up from Washington and is working globally, keen on applying her aspiration of accelerating the adoption of clean energy through capital and creativity. 

Espen Gleditsch er kunstner og bruker fotografi som medium for å undersøke hvordan historien fortelles, endrer seg og fortolkes. Han har markert seg med en rekke utstillinger og prosjekter der han utforsker fotografiets rolle i formidlingen av kunst- og arkitekturhistorien. Espen har nylig åpnet utstillingen Sanatorium Stenersen i Villa Stenersen, tegnet av Arne Korsmo i 1937. Den ser på sanatorienes og helsearkitekturens påvirkning på modernismens arkitektoniske manifestasjoner, og hvordan designvalg basert på renhet og helse, tatt for over hundre år siden, fortsatt preger oss i dag.

Jigar Shah served as Director of the Loan Programs Office (LPO) at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) from March 2021 to January 2025, where he oversaw a $400B budget. Prior, Shah was co-founder and President at Generate Capital, where he focused on helping entrepreneurs accelerate decarbonization solutions through the use of low-cost infrastructure-as-a service financing. Generate has raised over $10 billion, investing in 50+ technology and development partnerships with more than 2,000 assets globally.Prior to Generate Capital, Shah founded SunEdison, a company that pioneered “pay as you save” solar financing (i.e., PPAs).After SunEdison, Shah served as the founding CEO of the Carbon War Room, a global non-profit founded by Sir Richard Branson to help entrepreneurs address climate change.--Here are six topics we covered in the podcast:1. Post-LPO ResetAfter managing $107B in deals at DOE's Loan Programs Office, Jigar Shah hit pause and rebranded as a “podcaster.” He's taking time to reflect before diving into the next chapter.2. Climate VC Is BrokenShah says the 100x-return VC model doesn't fit climate tech's reality. He pushes for an “East Coast” model: aim for 18% IRR, win 7 of 10 bets, and skip the moonshots.3. Evergreen Capital > 2-and-20At Generate Capital, Shah turned down big checks to build an evergreen structure that aligns with long-term climate infrastructure. It's less lucrative for managers, but way better for founders.4. FOAK Risk, ExplainedHe breaks project finance into five risks: tech, feedstock, offtake, construction, and ops. LPO, unlike most investors, can stomach execution risk, like 12 methane pyrolysis reactors, not just one.5. Think Like a DeveloperClean tech needs dev capital like real estate: risky early bets, then stable returns once built. It's not “risk-free”—just “risk-you-can-understand.”6. Deep Tech's Fatal FlawToo many founders chase giant, low-margin markets. Shah says to start with high-margin niches (like InventWood selling to data centers) and then scale.--

As the presidential inauguration loomed on the horizon in January this year, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Loan Programs Office (LPO) published a “year-in-review” article, highlighting accomplishments from 2024 and looking ahead to the future. It noted that the previous four years had been the most productive in the LPO's history. “Under the Biden-Harris Administration, the Office has announced 53 deals totaling approximately $107.57 billion in committed project investment––approximately $46.95 billion for 28 active conditional commitments and approximately $60.62 billion for 25 closed loans and loan guarantees,” it said. Much of the funding for these investments came through the passing of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The LPO reported that U.S. clean energy investment more than doubled from $111 billion in 2020 to $236 billion in 2023, creating more than 400,000 clean energy jobs. The private sector notably led the way, enabled by U.S. government policy and partnerships. “There were 55 deals that we got across the finish line,” Jigar Shah, director of the LPO from March 2021 to January 2025, said as a guest on The POWER Podcast, while noting there were possibly 200 more projects that were nearly supported. “They needed to do more work on their end to improve their business,” he explained. That might have meant they needed to de-risk their feedstock agreement or their off-take agreement, for example, or get better quality contractors to do the construction of their project. “It was a lot of education work,” Shah said, “but I'm really proud of that work, because I think a lot of those companies, regardless of whether they used our office or not, were better for the interactions that they had with us.” A Framework for Success When asked about doling out funds, Shah viewed the term somewhat negatively. “As somebody who's been an investor in my career, you don't dole out money, because that's how you lose money,” he explained. “What you do is you create a framework. And you tell people, ‘Hey, if you meet this framework, then we've got a loan for you, and if you don't meet this framework, then we don't have a loan for you.” Shah noted that the vast majority of the 400 to 500 companies that the LPO worked closely with during his tenure didn't quite meet the framework. Still, most of those that did have progressed smoothly. “Everything that started construction is still under construction, and so, they're all going to be completed,” said Shah. “I think all in all, the thesis worked. Certainly, there are many people who had a hard time raising equity or had a hard time getting to the finish line and final investment decision, but for those folks who got to final investment decision and started construction, I think they're doing very well.” Notable Projects When asked which projects he was most excited about, Shah said, “All of them are equally exciting to me. I mean, that's the beauty of the work I do.” He did, however, go on to mention several that stood out to him. Specifically, he pointed to the Wabash, Montana Renewables, EVgo, and Holtec Palisades projects, which were all supported under the LPO's Title 17 Clean Energy Financing Program, as particularly noteworthy. Perhaps the most important of the projects Shah mentioned from a power industry perspective, was the Holtec Palisades endeavor. Valued at $1.52 billion, the loan guarantee will allow upgrading and repowering of the Palisades nuclear plant in Covert, Michigan, a first in U.S. history, which has spurred others to bring retired nuclear plants back online. “[It's] super exciting to see our first nuclear plant being restarted, and as a result, the Constellation folks have decided to restart a nuclear reactor in Pennsylvania, and NextEra has decided to restart a nuclear reactor in Iowa. So, it's great to have that catalytic impact,” said Shah.

Este é o canto de pouso do falcão peneireiro das torres, uma ave de rapina pequena, mas que conseguiu paralisar as operações de um grande parque eólico no sul da França. A justiça francesa acaba de condenar as operadoras da usina pela morte de milhares de pássaros e aves, inclusive espécies ameaçadas. É a primeira vez que os gestores de um parque eólico são condenados em um processo penal, depois que ao menos 160 pássaros, morcegos e falcões desta espécie, protegida na França, morreram ao se chocarem contras hélices das turbinas eólicas, na cidade de Aumelas.A companhia EDF Renouvelables e nove filiais foram sentenciadas a pesadas multas, que chegam a € 2,5 milhões, e a cessar as atividades de 31 eólicas por quatro meses, com efeito imediato em abril. É neste mês que se inicia o período de migração dos bandos da África até a Europa, onde os animais procriam da primavera até o fim do verão.  O processo foi movido por iniciativa da organização France Nature Environnement. Em um relatório sobre o assunto, a Liga de Proteção dos Pássaros (LPO) afirma que uma turbina mata em média sete animais voadores por ano – só na França, 10 mil eólicas estão em operação, o que significa que a mortalidade dos pássaros e aves se tornou um problema ambiental para o setor.Geoffroy Marx, autor do estudo, explica que os falcões são particularmente vulneráveis: eles se acostumaram a voar em volta das turbinas para buscar alimento. “Em geral, toda a área em volta das eólicas é limpa e os pequenos mamíferos que circulam no solo ficam bastante visíveis. Isso é muito prático para as aves de rapina caçarem”, complementa.Hélices 'invisíveis' para os pássarosOs falcões não conseguem diferenciar bem as pás das turbinas das nuvens do céu – as estruturas são pintadas de branco justamente para se camuflarem melhor no ambiente e causarem menos impacto visual aos humanos que habitam nos arredores. “Os pássaros detectam mal o contraste. As eólicas se diferenciam muito pouco do céu, na visão do pássaro”, diz. “Alguns pesquisadores defendem que ao menos uma das pás seja pintada de preto, mas ainda não se tem provas de que isso funcionaria. Por enquanto, é uma hipótese de solução.”As eólicas são equipadas com um sistema de detecção de voadores, mas segundo Marx, os aparelhos não funcionam adequadamente: a resposta da máquina é lenta demais em relação à velocidade dos pássaros no ar. “Em geral, são câmeras que detectam a aproximação dos pássaros e acionam um sinal acústico para afastá-los, ou levam à paralisação das máquinas. Porém, infelizmente, o que vemos hoje é que o sistema não é muito eficaz”, lamenta o pesquisador.Riscos à biodiversidade e comunidadesA energia eólica é uma das chaves da transição para fontes limpas, mas a sua instalação também têm sido alvo de críticas pelos danos à biodiversidade, conforme o local onde as usinas são instaladas. A militante sueca Greta Thunberg já promoveu protestos contra a construção de uma usina eólica nas montanhas da Noruega.No Brasil, indígenas, pequenos agricultores e comunidades locais promovem regularmente manifestações contra a multiplicação de centrais no nordeste do país.O caso francês ilustra as contradições entre a proteção da natureza e a necessária transição energética, fundamental para combater a crise climática, salienta Geoffroy Marx. “Temos que encontrar um compromisso, afinal será necessário liberar espaços para produzir a energia que precisaremos todos amanhã. Vai ser preciso conciliar os dois”, indica.  Leia tambémIndústria europeia de painéis solares vive momento crítico, em pleno ‘boom' da transição energética

In this episode, host Seth O'Brien, CP, FAAOP(D), sits down with Keith Smith, CO, LO, FAAOP, and David Wilson, MPO, CPO, LPO, FAAOP, to discuss the value of the Academy's Fellow designation. Together, they explore why this credential matters, not just for individual recognition, but for advancing the entire O&P profession. From the history and purpose of the Fellowship to the practical steps for earning the designation, the discussion highlights how becoming a Fellow fosters professional growth, peer collaboration, and higher standards of care. They talk about initiatives like Fellows First Friday and how the designation helps shape external perceptions of the field while opening new doors for career advancement.   O&P Clinical Care Insiders is produced by Association Briefings.

Nytt Torsdagsråd fra Hagestuen! AHO, BAS og NTNU har en ting til felles, de utdanner arkitekter MNAL. Utover det kan det se ut til at det er mye som skiller skolene fra hverandre. Hva er grunnen til det? Hva bør man velge? Hva slags arkitekt blir man dersom man velger det ene foran det andre? Tordagsrådet 3 har temaet skolene, og vi har fått inn en hel del spørsmål som handler om alt som har med utdannelsen vår å gjøre. Du har spurt, Rådet har svart.  Neste Torsdagsråd er 15. mai. Da skal vi rådgis om BOLIG! Send inn dine spørsmål til torsdagsraadet@gmail.com eller podkast@lpo.no    Takk til Rådet, LPO, OAF, Ragnhild og Selma.

Bente Kleven har pensjonert seg etter over 40 år i LPO. Bente har vært sentral i flere av LPOs prosjekter, og veldig viktig for kontoret i lang tid. Nå er hun pensjonist, og i den anledning hadde vi en stor fest for Bente der vi tok en prat om alle de årene og prosjektene Bente har vært med på. Vi snakker også om tiden på AHO, rollen som lærer og professor, om alle verv og jurier og annet Bente har vært med på.  Takk for nå Bente! Og lykke til som pensjonist!  Send oss tilbakemeldinger og andre ting på podkast@lpo.no

I november åpnet Anders Rubing (Nordisk Arkitekturrevy, NORA) en polemikk i Arkitektur, der han stiller spørsmålet hvordan står det til med ambisjonene og kulturforståelsen hos NAL? og følger opp med at Arkitektur som kulturuttrykk er fraværende i fremtidens ønskede arkitekturpolitikk fra arkitektorganisasjonene. Kai Reaver er fagsjef i NAL, og svarte på polemikken til Anders. Der erkjenner han spenningen mellom arkitekturen som autonom kunstform og som en del av de tverrfaglige prosessene, og skriver blant annet at ved å styrke arkitekturens rolle som både autonomt fag og deltaker i tverrfaglige prosesser, blir den forhåpentligvis relevant som både formgivende og samfunnskritisk disiplin.  Hva mener vi når vi snakker om arkitektur, og hva gjør NAL for å styrke det? Nå tar de debatten i Byggekunstpodkasten! Send inn dine tanker til podkast@lpo.no Følg oss gjerne på instagram    

How can the U.S. government bridge the gap between clean energy innovation and large-scale deployment? Will the Trump administration accelerate progress or put up roadblocks for clean tech? And how can the U.S. stay competitive with China, which already holds a commanding lead in the sector? Jigar Shah joins Cleaning Up fresh from his four-year tenure as Director of the U.S. Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office (LPO). Appointed in 2021, Shah transformed the once-obscure office into a clean-tech commercialization powerhouse, committing more than $100 billion in loans to U.S.-based companies. But with a new administration implementing sweeping cuts to the federal workforce, is all his work at risk? Or will market forces and the very real risk of blackouts keep clean energy innovation moving forward?In this conversation with Michael Liebreich, Shah shares how he turned the LPO into a driving force for clean technology deployment, and what lessons can be learned by policymakers, investors and entrepreneurs. He also offers a candid assessment of the opportunities and challenges across key sectors—from advanced nuclear to sustainable aviation fuels. Leadership Circle Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Division Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP of Portugal, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

Jigar Shah, Director of the Loan Programs Office (LPO) at the U.S. Department of Energy, joins me to discuss his office's latest Pathways to Commercial Liftoff report on nuclear energy. We touch on the state of the American nuclear industry, its surge of policy and private sector support, and outstanding obstacles to tripling nuclear capacity in the United States. In addition to emphasizing the need for standardization in reactor designs and a unified communications strategy from the nuclear industry, Jigar sets the record straight on what the LPO can and, importantly, cannot do for the sector. While the LPO offers extensive support in the form of loans and high-quality information, it is up to industry to lead the charge. In his words, “we can't want this more than industry.” Read more on Substack: https://www.decouple.media/

From Navy SEAL to Private Contractor: The Journey of Daniel Corbett In this gripping episode, Marcus and Melanie sit down with Daniel Corbett, a former elite Navy SEAL operator turned private military contractor. Daniel takes us through his fascinating journey from joining the Navy in 2002, right out of high school, to serving in some of the most renowned and secretive SEAL Teams, including SEAL Team 5, SEAL Team 6, and SEAL Team 17. Hear about his deployment to Iraq in 2005, his global missions with SEAL Team 6, and his experiences instructing the next generation of SEALs at the Naval Special Warfare Basic Training Command. We also delve into Daniel's transition from active duty to private military contracting—a world where high-stakes missions take on new meaning. Daniel shares the story of his 2017 arrest in Belgrade, Serbia, where he was imprisoned for eighteen months. Now back in the States, Daniel continues to apply his expertise in unconventional problem-solving for clients in need of unique solutions. Whether he's monitoring international events or getting unexpected phone calls, Daniel's post-military career is anything but ordinary. Tune in for an inside look at one of the most high-stakes careers on the planet, and hear firsthand what it takes to thrive as a SEAL, contractor, and global problem-solver. In This Episode You Will Hear: • [Growing up] We lived in Germany. My dad was stationed there. We'd just drive around and see castles. It was cool. (3:06) • What got me [to join the SEAL teams] is that they interviewed one operator, and he goes “What makes you guys so good?” The team guy responded with: “It's not that we're that good, it's just that everybody else sucks.” (6:35) • [Marcus] Q: What do you think the best job in the SEAL teams is? Best rank. [Daniel} A: E5 Mafia. Cause you have some power, but you're not responsible for shit. (9:47) • I was a triathlete and cross-country runner. (13:39) • [Marcus] There's a thing that we don't talk about. It's not in the books or the documentaries. You sign up knowing you're gonna fail all the time, so naturally, you wanna be a shit bag. (18:16) • I'm the man at weddings, because I do bring my sewing kit. Buttons? I got you. (23:55) • I was a young hot shot guy. I was at the squadron. It's nice, but nothing has ever compared to when I had a Platoon OIC, LPO or chief come up and say “Hey, these kids you put through CPC, they're awesome. You did a really good job.” (26:34) • I coined the terms: “Falsely Intuitive.” (29:18) • [Melanie – While escorting cargo ships] Q: What would you do if pirates did roll up on you? [Daniel] A: Get on the Bridgeway and take your iron sight, and try your best. (34:25) • In Belgrade, Serbia, I was arrested and locked up. I wasn't charged for 11 months. I looked up, and there was a 21 year old kid with a gun pointed at my head, terrified. I could hear the magazine springs rattling with his finger on the trigger. And I'm like “After all the stuff I've done. Not like this.” (35:49) • When I was being interrogated, they asked: “You're not CIA, DEA? You're not here to kill the president?” (37:35) • I came home to $86,000 in debt to the IRS, and a credit score of 530. (43:28) • Love is the antagonist to fear. (46:12) • I know I'm loved. That's really what got me through. (46:26) • There's no responsible journalism anywhere anymore.

Many of our regular listener energy nerds are aware that the U.S. Department of Energy Loan Programs Office (LPO), under the leadership if Secretary Granholm and Jigar Shah, has evolved from a near-dormant entity with just one loan in the previous administration to committing over $31 billion to projects across critical clean energy sectors like hydrogen, storage, solar, EVs, Carbon sequestration and more. With an expanded pipeline of 209 applications requesting $281.1 billion in financing, the LPO is driving innovation and growth in the clean energy sector, and we're even seeing a veritable rebirth of the Nuclear industry here with Vogle 3 & 4 coming online as well as the Palisades plant in Michigan coming out of retirement!Jigar Shah, as Director of the LPO, has engaged 6,500+ organizations, ensuring the energy transition is private-sector led and government-enabled. And the sheer numbers in the results are eye-opening. In particular, the support for the nearshoring of our critical manufacturing infrastructure.Expect to learn:How utilities can utilize virtual power plants (VPPs) and grid modernization to effectively manage growing energy loads.The evolving partnership between utilities and the solar industryThe importance of reshoring energy technology manufacturing for U.S. energy independenceHow the LPO is unlocking the renewable potential of tribal lands and creating broad-based wealthThe critical role of geothermal and nuclear energy in replacing coal plants with clean, firm powerCatch this and other impactful conversations recorded live at the PowerUp Live Podcast Stage in Anaheim.

How is the Loan Programs Office providing unprecedented amounts of capital for clean energy innovations? Listen to Jason Mitchell discuss with Jigar Shah, US Department of Energy Loan Programs Office Director, his $400 billion mandate in commercialising clean energy innovations, how these technologies align with US energy security goals and climate commitments, and what the multiplier effect of LPO financing could mean for private sector investment. Jigar Shah is the Director for the Loan Programs Office (LPO) at the US Department of Energy where he leads and directs the organisation's considerable loan authority within manufacturing, innovative project finance, and tribal energy. With more than 25 years of experience in clean energy, he is an expert in project finance, clean technology, and entrepreneurship, as well as a visionary leader and innovator in the field of sustainable infrastructure. Prior to joining the DOE, Jigar co-founded and served as the President of Generate Capital, the leading investment and operating platform for distributed energy storage, microgrids, fuel cells, electric vehicles, and organic waste management. He also founded SunEdison, the inventor of the modern solar-as-a-service industry, and served as the founding CEO of the Carbon War Room, a global non-profit founded by Sir Richard Branson to help entrepreneurs address climate change. Jigar is the author of Creating Climate Wealth: Unlocking the Impact Economy, a book that outlines his mission to scale the transition to a global clean energy economy.

The Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office has a grandstand view of the energy transition. Where is it going next?Jigar Shah, one of the originators of the Energy Gang, now runs the Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office, playing a key role in advancing clean energy projects. By helping to bridge the gap between R&D and large-scale deployment, it encourages private sector investment and supports the administration's work to achieve its net zero goals.Jigar was appointed Director of the LPO in March 2021 with a brief to “to rev those engines back up” after a quiet period under the Trump administration. He returns to the Energy Gang to discuss the progress he has made so far, and the goals he is working towards in the future. In particular, he talks about the hot topic of the moment in energy: how to meet increased demand for electricity driven by data centers for AI, new factories, and electric vehicles.Much of the new load being added to the electricity system will not be flexible. Data centers mostly need to be available 24/7. So how is the grid going to manage these growing demands? Host Ed Crooks is also joined by Amy Myers-Jaffe, Director of NYU's Energy, Climate Justice & Sustainability Lab, to discuss Jigar's views on the solutions to these challenges.Topics covered include Virtual Power Plants, enhanced geothermal and advanced nuclear. Those latter two are among the handful of sources of energy that we usually think about when we are discussing “clean firm power”. Geothermal in particular is generating a lot of buzz lately. What will it take to get it deployed at scale? Is it pulling ahead of advanced nuclear in the race to commerciality and large-scale deployment?The Energy Gang will be recording live from the Global Energy Transition event in June in New York.

Training an animal to move, obey, and communicate effectively is no easy feat - especially when you're serving at the Tip of the Spear. That's where SEAL Team Seven Canine Handler Chris Cappa met Mickey anyway - a scrappy pup that would go on to become an absolute beast on deployment, snagging bites and catching bombs for nearly every op he went on. Of course, that's only part of the story, and finding out the full weight of the military's might in the wake of the coronavirus scare, traveling to foreign lands for plant-based medicines, and joining the Warrior Dog Foundation's new Home with Handlers program all play a part.
