If President Trump's tariff strategy succeeds in sparking a revival in US manufacturing, one consequence will be surging demand for power. We are already seeing electricity demand starting to pick up after 15 years of stagnation, driven by new data centers for AI and a wave of factory-building for semiconductors and batteries that is already under way. How can the electricity industry increase capacity to meet that growing demand and provide the power that the country needs?That's the question for this special episode of the Energy Gang, recorded live in front of an invited audience at the headquarters of the American Clean Power association in Washington DC. Host Ed Crooks talks to Chris Shelton, the Chief Product Officer at AES, Travis Kavulla, the Vice-President for Regulatory Affairs at NRG Energy, and MJ Shiao, the Vice President of Supply Chain and Manufacturing at American Clean Power.They discuss whether electricity demand growth is really happening, which technologies are best placed to provide new supply, and who will end up paying for the investment needed to increase capacity. The Trump administration's focus has been on “baseload” power, particularly new natural gas power plants. But there are reasons why they cannot be a complete solution. Renewable energy and battery storage also have important roles to play.The group also assess the impacts of changing energy policies under a Republican administration and Congress. What will be the fate of tax credits for low-carbon energy under the Inflation Reduction Act? And will moves to expedite permitting and environmental approvals make it easier to build all kinds of new infrastructure, including power and energy facilities, in the US?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A house is many things. It is shelter, a place to live. It is an investment, a store of wealth. It can be a repository of memories and it can be a dream for the future. “The American Dream,” as a home is sometimes called, is part of our national identity, a narrative many Americans like to tell themselves about what it means to lead a good life. Yet can a house really be all of these things? Moreover, should a house be all these things?  This member week, we are sharing insights into our new strategic plan, including our five priority campaigns. The goal of the Incremental Housing campaign is to have the next increment of development intensity allowed, by right, in every neighborhood in America.

Who loves a little side-hustle when it involves your passion AND your purpose? Me too! Almost four months ago, I revealed on a previous episode of the podcast a new side-hustle as GM for an arena football team called San Diego Strike Force (Indoor Football League)(Ep. #223). Well, today my guest on the IMPACT Show podcast is the President, CEO, and owner of the team, Vivi Lin.    Besides being the first female minority to solely own a professional football team in the U.S., Vivi has one heckuva story. Here are some of the things we discuss in the episode: - How Vivi got me to accept the job of GM for her team.  - Vivi's mindset after being told by her father for years that she was worthless and would never be successful. - The mental shift after being kidnapped and abandoned in Mexico. - Why own a pro sports team? - Vivi's five big principles in life. - Vivi's advice for fathers with young daughters. - Leadership via innovation, technology, connection, and content creation. - How I.M.P.A.C.T. & S.O.U.P. will guide the culture and success of the San Diego Strike Force this season.  - Vivi's big dreams and aspirations for the future.   Today's episode is going to pull at your heartstrings and is going to inspire you to DO GREAT THINGS, regardless of any roadblocks standing in your way. To hear this strong, loving, faith-filled woman talk about her life and how she knew she was fashioned and created for more than her circumstances, is nothing less than inspiring. And you will understand how I couldn't say no to her when she ‘came a knocking' with my new side hustle and an opportunity to create some BIG IMPACT.   This episode will inspire you to do more, be more, listen to the whispers you hear, lean into your faith, and it will ignite your soul. I promise you that. And if it indeed does that, please share today's episode on your social media and make sure you are subscribed so you don't miss a single episode.

“In this day and age, I'm shocked that someone still doesn't know the difference between ‘you're' and ‘your.'”   Kate McCue Cruise ship captain   Artwork: Ink drawing on a NOAA nautical chart of the waters around the eastern tip of Puerto Rico, an area that cruise ships often travel around.   The story: For Kate McCue, captain of Celebrity Edge, a 1,004-foot-long mega cruise ship that can accommodate nearly 3,000 passengers, the day's work never stops. On a typical day onboard the ship, she'll get up at 4 a.m. to begin her work.  Aside from being responsible for up to 3,000 passengers and a crew of more than 1,000, she's also active on social media. McCue shares a behind-the-scenes view of what cruise life is like from the ship's bridge on her popular social media channels.  On one particular day in October 2020 began like the others, but this day was a little different. An internet troll commented on one of her social media posts, asking, “how can you be a captain? Your only a woman.” [sic] Sexist comments like this and worse towards McCue and other women online are unfortunately all too common. But on this day, McCue was having none of it. She shut the man down with a withering response in a video that quickly went viral around the world: “I think it's about high time that I address this, because it's 2020, and in this day and age I'm shocked that someone still doesn't know the difference between ‘you're' and ‘your.' Just a quick reference: ‘you're,' as in ‘you are,' as in ‘you are sexist.' ‘Your' is something possessive, it belongs to you. Like ‘your ignorance.'” The video concluded with McCue sitting down in her chair, saying “If you need any more clarification, you can find me here—in my captain's chair.”   Background on Captain McCue Born January 6, 1978 in San Francisco, CA, McCue began her maritime career with a dream at the age of 12 when she went on a cruise with her family. She told her father she wanted to be a cruise director when she grew up and he told her she could do anything, including captain the ship. She earned a bachelor's degree at Cal Maritime and worked her way up the ranks in the shipping world.  She began as an apprentice officer on cargo boats transporting banana from South America and California. Eager to switch from cargo to cruises, she joined Disney Cruise Lines as a third mate and later moved to Royal Caribbean International. She worked her way up to staff captain (second in command), when in 2015, the CEO of Celebrity Cruise Line invited her to apply to captain the Celebrity Summit.  This promotion made McCue the first American female captain of a mega cruise ship and only the fifth woman overall. A mega cruise ship has a gross tonnage of least 80,000. Her current ship, Celebrity Edge, is nearly 131,000.  Now when passengers begin a voyage on a ship helmed by McCue, she greets them over the loudspeakers, “This is Captain Kate, but you can call me Captain because it took me 19 years to earn this title.”    Music: This episode contains music by Geovane Bruno and Zakhar Valaha.    Sources:  Coffey, H.

Working People is excited to announce that, along with our ongoing partnership with the amazing In These Times magazine, we are now partnered with The Real News Network in Baltimore!   In this episode, we sit down with Justin Whittaker for the first part of an ongoing series of interviews where we’ll be talking to workers on all sides of the marijuana industry—in states where that work is legal and in states where it’s not. Justin is originally from the Midwest, but now he lives all the way up near Fairbanks, Alaska, where he works at an organic weed-growing operation. Alaska was the second state in the U.S. to decriminalize cannabis decades ago; in 2014, it became the third state to legalize recreational use. Justin has seen different sides of the industry, in different states, both before and after legalization. We talk about his life and work, and we talk about the ways legalization has changed things in the marijuana industry for buyers, business owners, and workers.    Additional links/info below...

Renowned China scholar David Shambaugh describes the broad-gauged and global competition for power, especially in Asia, underway between the United States and China in his new book, Where Great Powers Meet. Concentrating on Southeast Asia, Professor Shambaugh notes that the two countries constantly vie for position and influence across this highly significant area; the outcome of the contest may determine whether Asia leaves the American orbit after seventy years and falls into a Chinese sphere of influence.  On December 1, 2020, the National Committee held a virtual program with Professor David Shambaugh as he looks at the geopolitical future of Southeast Asia amidst the possibility of renewed great power competition in the region.

Meet America’s newest citizen, Etienne de Bruin, Founder of 7CTOs, the organization that helps CTOs grow as world class leaders!   Etienne and his wife, both South Africans, moved to San Diego from Germany in 2000. He was weighing Boston vs. San Diego and cnn.com/weather told him to make the move to sunshine. Luckily he choose the San Diego biotech scene which survived the 2000 dot com bombs whereas the Boston opportunity died immediately. Etienne takes us through the difference of doing business and working in tech in South Africa vs the U.S. South Africa does have a strong software developer culture and South African business leaders have a strong presence in building big American companies, like Elon Musk. In 2005, he co-founded Monk Development in San Diego and grew the software company all the way up until 2014 when they successfully sold the business. In 2009, he started to lift his head and say, “what’s everyone else working on?” and put energy into creating a community for software developers which has begun to connect the entire ecosystem from new developer to experienced CTO of the largest tech companies. When Etienne began to notice his two co-founders grow professionally from success within mentor groups, he realized there wasn’t something for the technical leaders of a company. He began creating communities that put the spotlight on the CTO and had a San Diego emphasis. This birthed the 7CTOs organization, a peer mentor group helping top technical leaders of companies create bonds and mentorship through consistent group meetings. While focusing on building strong leaders at the top, Etienne’s main goal is uniting the the technical community as a whole and invite them to engage with the 7CTO community, including Developer Mentor Hours, CTO/CEO Advisory Hours, and the upcoming TechArt Series with a Night with Blockchain on May 30th, as well as other community resources.   Favorite Taco Spot: El Zarape on Park Blvd.   Follow Etienne on Twitter @Etdebruin & @7ctos     Thanks to our sponsor Cox Business for their support of the San Diego tech community.

In six weeks, Matt Eyles will become the CEO of America’s Health Insurance Plans, taking over for Marilyn Tavenner — one of the most prominent seats in health policy. But before that, Eyles sat down with POLITICO to preview his agenda, critique the Trump administration’s changes to the insurance markets and rebuff concerns that AHIP has lost influence in Washington. On the podcast, Eyles discussed what it’s like to be a lobbyist in the Trump era and how he arrived at AHIP (starts at the 1:30 mark); how his leadership will differ from Tavenner’s (6:05); his thoughts on UnitedHealthcare and other top insurers choosing to leave AHIP, and whether his organization has lost juice on Capitol Hill (9:00); his views on Medicaid and why AHIP is touting the public program's benefits (16:40); the Trump administration’s changes to Obamacare and the insurance markets (19:40); the employer insurance market (26:30); and insurers seeking mergers with players like CVS Health (27:30). After the break, POLITICO insurance reporter Paul Demko joins Dan Diamond to analyze Eyles’ comments, discuss the future of AHIP and review the Trump administration’s insurance market changes.
