Frontier AI is colliding with real-world infrastructure. Eiso Kant (Co-CEO & Co-Founder, Poolside) joins the MAD Podcast to unpack Project Horizon— a multi-gigawatt West Texas build—and why frontier labs must own energy, compute, and intelligence to compete. We map token economics, cloud-style margins, and the staged 250 MW rollout using 2.5 MW modular skids.Then we get operational: the CoreWeave anchor partnership, environmental choices (SCR, renewables + gas + batteries), community impact, and how Poolside plans to bring capacity online quickly without renting away margin—plus the enterprise motion (defense to Fortune 500) powered by forward deployed research engineers.Finally, we go deep on training. Eiso lays out RL2L (Reinforcement Learning to Learn)— aimed at reverse-engineering the web's thoughts and actions— why intelligence may commoditize, what that means for agents, and how coding served as a proxy for long-horizon reasoning before expanding to broader knowledge work.PoolsideWebsite - https://poolside.aiX/Twitter - https://x.com/poolsideaiEiso KantLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/eisokant/X/Twitter - https://x.com/eisokantFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)Blog - https://www.mattturck.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Cold open – “Intelligence becomes a commodity”(00:23) Host intro – Project Horizon & RL2L(01:19) Why Poolside exists amid frontier labs(04:38) Project Horizon: building one of the largest US data center campuses(07:20) Why own infra: scale, cost, and avoiding “cosplay”(10:06) Economics deep dive: $8B for 250 MW, capex/opex, margins(16:47) CoreWeave partnership: anchor tenant + flexible scaling(18:24) Hiring the right tail: building a physical infra org(30:31) RL today → agentic RL and long-horizon tasks(37:23) RL2L revealed: reverse-engineering the web's thoughts & actions(39:32) Continuous learning and the “hot stove” limitation(43:30) Agents debate: thin wrappers, differentiation, and model collapse(49:10) “Is AI plateauing?”—chip cycles, scale limits, and new axes(53:49) Why software was the proxy; expanding to enterprise knowledge work(55:17) Model status: Malibu → Laguna (small/medium/large)(57:31) Poolside's Commercial Reality today: defense; Fortune 500; FDRE (1:02:43) Global team, avoiding the echo chamber(1:04:34) Next 12–18 months: frontier models + infra scale(1:05:52) Closing

TechWorks Marine has commenced a comprehensive year-long metocean survey in Maritime Area A - Tonn Nua, of the Irish Government's South Coast Designated Maritime Area Plan (SC-DMAP), supporting EirGrid's Powering Up Offshore South Coast project. Commissioned by Fugro, EirGrid's appointed marine survey supplier, the survey will deliver vital baseline oceanographic and environmental data to support the development of offshore substations and grid connections along Ireland's south coast. This flagship initiative aims to connect 900 MW of offshore wind generation to Ireland's power network, accelerating national progress toward the government's target of 80% renewable energy and at least 5 GW of offshore wind in the coming years.. The Tonn Nua site is a designated area for spatially planned offshore wind, selected for its pivotal role in achieving Ireland's climate action goals and enhancing energy security for nearly a million homes. TechWorks Marine, the leading Irish-based supplier to Fugro on Powering Up Offshore South Coast, brings over 20 years of specialist expertise in metocean data collection and analysis. The data gathered will help inform the design and delivery of robust infrastructure for clean energy and support regional economic development. Charlotte O'Kelly, CEO of TechWorks Marine, commented: "We are delighted to support EirGrid and Fugro on this landmark project for Ireland's energy transition. Our team is committed to delivering world-class oceanographic data that underpins a resilient, sustainable, renewable energy system on the south coast." Speaking about the 2025 survey campaign, Chief Transformation, Technology and Offshore Officer at EirGrid, Liam Ryan, said: "These surveys would not be possible without a huge amount of coordination and strategic planning of staff across EirGrid, our strategic partners, fishing communities and local landowners. The data being gathered from this research is essential in shaping plans for the installation of this transmission infrastructure for offshore wind and creating a cleaner energy future for Ireland."

Vi tager lige en status på klimaet, her Oktober 2025.1: Ocean Warming2: Koralrev3:Tipping Points4: Permafrost i Rusland5: Hvad gør vi med den CO2 vi indfanger?6: Fuel Cells / Green Hydrogen plant7: Kelp Farming in Norway------------------------------------------------1 : Ocean warming : https://www.sciencealert.com/ocean-warming-threatens-microbe-that-makes-nearly-a-third-of-earths-oxygenJeff Berardelli (meterolog USA):It's hard to overstate just how off the charts warm the Pacific is right now. The swath of the basin from California to Japan (a HUGE area) from 25N to 60N is ~3F (1.6C) above normal. To put it into math terms that is 6 Sigma/ standard deviations above the mean. I won't bother calculating the chances of this happening against the late 20th century climate - let alone the pre-industrial climate - because the numbers would show it simply could never happen without global warming.So let's talk about why this is happening. Since the last El Nino a couple of years ago the ocean has been rearranging its warm/cool water, as it typically does as a normal part of it's natural oscillation. (This summer a record ridge/ heat dome was parked over the N Pacific).But each next time this configuration lines up (warm north Pacific/ cool tropical Pacific) it piles on a higher and higher baseline temperature over time due to greenhouse warming, air pollution reduction, and the feedbacks (clouds & direct insolation) of both. So we end up with the bottom chart which shows the standardized anomaly (departure from normal) is sloping upward at a very unnatural and alarming rate.2: Koralrevhttps://www.dr.dk/nyheder/viden/klima/ny-rapport-det-er-saa-godt-som-uundgaaeligt-verdens-koralrev-kollapserhttps://videnskab.dk/naturvidenskab/oejenaabner-genopretning-af-koraller-kan-ikke-redde-verdens-rev/3: Tipping Pointshttps://videnskab.dk/naturvidenskab/tipping-points-lyder-skraemmende-men-der-er-haab-endnu/4: Permafrost i Rusland:https://videnskab.dk/naturvidenskab/klimabombe-i-rusland-danske-forskere-advarer-om-alvorlig-mangel-paa-videnOgså:Eksploderende Methan gas i Siberien:https://www.sciencealert.com/mysterious-giant-exploding-craters-in-siberia-may-finally-be-explained5:Hvad gør vi med den CO2 vi indfangerhttps://videnskab.dk/teknologi/hvad-goer-vi-med-den-co2-vi-fanger/Vi sender noget af den tilbage til oliefelterne vi har tømt i de danske farvande.

The facility can produce up to 4 tons of renewable hydrogen per day and is Lhyfe's largest outside of France. While it's the largest operational commercial plant, there are larger-scale projects planned for the future in Germany, such as a 130 MW plant planned for Prenzlau by ENERTRAG. https://engineerine.com/largest-green-hydrogen-plant/https://www.lhyfe.com/press/lhyfe-inaugurates-germanys-largest-commercial-renewable-hydrogen-production-site-in-baden-wurttemberg-to-distribute-rfnbo-certified-hydrogen-to-a-range-of-players/A green hydrogen factory is good for the climate because it can be produced using renewable energy, with zero greenhouse gas emissions, and can replace fossil fuels in sectors that are hard to electrify, like heavy industry. When used in a fuel cell, hydrogen only releases water vapor and warm air, making it a clean energy carrier that can also store and deliver renewable energy. #Hydrogen Fuel Cell makes electricity directly. They also produce water vapor, heat and, depending on the fuel source, very small amounts of nitrogen dioxide and other emissions.-------------------------7: Kelp farming in Norwayhttps://www.dnv.com/news/2024/new-seaweed-farm-off-the-norwegian-coast-seeks-to-remove-co2-from-the-atmosphere-252006/--------------------------------8: State of Climate Action 2025:https://www.wri.org/research/state-climate-action-2025" It finds that recent progress toward 1.5°C-aligned targets has largely failed to materialize at the required pace and scale and highlights where action must accelerate this decade to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, scale up carbon removal and increase climate finance."" Although more than three-quarters of indicators are heading in the right direction, progress is alarmingly inadequate, exposing communities, economies and ecosystems to unacceptable risks. Global efforts across 29 indicators are “well off track,” such that at least a twofold—and for most, more than a fourfold—acceleration will be required this decade to keep the 1.5°C limit within reach. "Getting on track for 2030 and staying on track for 2035 demands an enormous acceleration of efforts across every sector. The world must, for example:Phase out coal more than ten times faster — equivalent to retiring nearly 360 average-sized coal-fired power plants each year and halting all projects in the pipeline.Reduce deforestation nine times faster. Current levels are far too high — roughly equivalent to permanently losing nearly 22 football (soccer) fields of forest every minute in 2024.Expand rapid transit networks five times faster — equivalent to building at least 1,400 km (870 miles) of light rail, metro and bus lanes annually.Lower consumption of beef, lamb and goat meat in high-consuming regions five times faster — equivalent to reducing consumption by 2 or fewer servings per week in North and South America, Australia and New Zealand.Scale technological carbon dioxide removal more than ten times faster — equivalent to building nine of the largest direct air capture facilities currently under construction each month.Increase climate finance by nearly $1 trillion annually — equivalent to roughly two-thirds of public fossil fuel finance in 2023.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Obinna Isiadinso, Global Sector Lead for Data Center Investments at the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group and the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. Obinna leads investment teams on valuation and execution considerations, reviews private equity and credit transaction structures, and participates in transaction negotiations in the Data Center and Cloud sectors in emerging markets globally. He is also the author of the Global Data Center Hub on Substack (linked here). His career spans private equity, infrastructure, and real assets. We were thrilled to host Obinna and learn from him on one of today's most dynamic topics. In our discussion, Obinna outlines the IFC's role as the private financing arm of the World Bank, shares his background in private equity and digital infrastructure, and describes his current global portfolio focus. He explains the IFC's structure and mission to achieve commercial returns while ensuring developmental impact, its ~$100 billion balance sheet, and dual role as a lender and equity investor. We cover the IFC's role in digital infrastructure and data centers, why data centers matter for emerging market development, the IFC's investment approach and capital structure, and Obinna's Substack, which tracks and summarizes global data center activity. We discuss global market sizing (U.S. ~30 GW; Northern Virginia 3–4 GW; Europe FLAP-D ~1-1.5 GW each; South America ~1 GW; Africa ~500 MW, ~250 MW in South Africa; India ~1.2-1.3 GW; China ~3-4 GW; Malaysia ~250 MW with ~1 GW pipeline in 3-5 years), the growth outlook with hyperscalers planning to add 30-50 GW in 3-5 years and roughly ~$400 billion capex this year, cost benchmarks ($10-12 million/MW plus chips), build times, EBITDA economics, current valuation multiples, the evolving fuel mix, and the IFC's sustainability criteria. Obinna summarizes the IFC's market-by-market approach to energy sourcing, rising power demand in emerging markets (and potential competition for scarce power), the IFC's initiatives to expand generation and grid capacity in Africa, and the Middle East's bid to be a ‘Switzerland of AI Infrastructure.' We ended by asking Obinna for key trends he's watching including diversification of AI models, continuous training workloads, and growing private credit participation. It was a fascinating conversation and we can't thank Obinna enough for joining and sharing his insights. We look forward to staying in touch. Mike Bradley noted that this will be a pivotal week for markets, with the FOMC rate decision on Wednesday, a slew of Q3 reports from Big AI/Tech and Energy/Electricity companies throughout this week, and an OPEC+ meeting being held over the weekend. In the bond market, the 10-year bond yield continues to be stuck in the 4% range. The Fed is expected to cut interest rates by 25bps both this week and again in December. On the oil market front, WTI price has slipped back to ~$60/bbl as oil traders seem fixated again on the 2026 oil supply surplus rather than Russian oil sanctions. OPEC+ is expected to raise November oil production by another 137kbpd (similar to October) at this weekend's OPEC+ meeting. At Veriten, we still envision oil markets in 2026 being a “tale of two markets” with 1H26 being challenged and 2H26 being pretty constructive. In global market news, President Javier Milei's party scored a major win in Argentina's legislative elections, sending bond yields lower, the peso modestly higher, and a 20%+ surge in the Argentina stock market. On the broader equity market front, the S&P 500 continues to reach new highs with this week's move mostly due to optimism of a China-U.S. trade deal. A handful of Big AI/Tech names will be reporting this week (AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, META & MSFT) which could increase broader marke

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 

More than 20 years after its commissioning, the Lower Subansiri Project has begun its test run. The first of 8 units is now being wet trialled. By April-May next year, all units are expected to be commissioned, which will mean this project -- on the Arunachal-Assam border -- will produce 2000 MW of hydroelectric power, making it India's largest such project.----more----Read Moushumi Das Gupta report here: https://theprint.in/india/while-china-builds-its-mega-dam-on-brahmaputra-indias-long-delayed-subansiri-marks-key-milestone/2771548/----more----Read Ministry of environment and forest 2015 report here: https://moef.gov.in/uploads/2018/04/Volume-I.pdf----more----Watch full episode of CutTheClutter here: https://youtu.be/qSVgSN1WFJ4

Your host, Alan Hall, shares the renewable industry news you may have missed. Allen Hall 2025: There is news today from three continents about wind power in Germany. Last Friday, the wind began to blow storm Benjamins swed across the northern regions. Wind turbines spun faster and faster. By mid-morning wind output hit 51 gigawatts. That's right. 51 gigawatts the highest. Since early last year, wind and solar together met nearly all of Germany's electricity needs, and then something happened that would have seemed impossible. 20 years ago, the price of electricity went negative. Minus seven euros and 15 cents per megawatt hour. Too much wind, too much power, not enough demand. Meanwhile, off the coast of Southern [00:01:00] France, dignitaries gathered for a celebration. The Provenance Grand Large floating offshore wind farm. 25 megawatts. Three Siemens Gamesa turbines mounted on floating platforms. France's first floating offshore wind project. a real milestone, but here is what caught everyone's attention. No government subsidies. EDF, Enbridge and CPP investments. Finance the entire project themselves. Self-finance, offshore wind in France. Halfway around the world in South Australia, Neoen inaugurated Goyder South. 412 megawatts, 75 turbines, the largest wind farm in the state, the largest in Neoen portfolio. It will generate 1.5 TERAWATT hours annually. That's a 20% increase in South Australia's total wind generation.[00:02:00] The state is racing towards 100% net renewables by 2027. Goyder South created 400 construction jobs, 12 permanent positions, over 100 million Australian dollars in local economic impact. Three different stories, three different continents, Europe, Asia Pacific, all celebrating wind power. But there is something else connecting these projects. Something the general public does not see something only industry professionals understand. 20 years ago, wind energy was expensive, subsidized, and uncertain . Critics called it a fantasy that would never compete with coal or natural gas. Today, Germany has so much wind power that prices go negative. France builds offshore wind farms without government money. Australia bets its entire energy future on renewables, and here is the number that tells the real [00:03:00] story. In 2005, global wind power capacity was 59 gigawatts. Today it exceeds 1000 gigawatts the cost per megawatt hour. It has dropped about 85%. Wind power went from the most expensive electricity source to one of the cheapest in about two decades faster than pretty much anyone had predicted, cheaper than anyone had really forecasted. the critics said it could not be done, and the skeptics said it would never compete. The doubters said it was decades away, and they were pretty much all wrong. Today France celebrates its first commercial scale floating offshore wind farm. And Germany's grid operator manages negative prices as routine Australia plans to run an entire state on renewable energy. Within about two years, the impossible became inevitable, and you, the wind energy professionals listening to this, you [00:04:00] made it happen.

In der aktuellen Podcast-Folge habe ich mit Michael Zintl gesprochen, Geschäftsführer der DZG Metering GmbH aus Regensburg. Michael kommt ursprünglich aus der Automobilbranche, war viele Jahre bei Continental tätig und verantwortete dort den Bereich Sensorik. Seit zwei Jahren leitet er die DZG Metering, ein Unternehmen mit über 100 Jahren Erfahrung im Haushaltszählergeschäft, das sich seit 2020 erfolgreich auf eichrechtskonforme Messsysteme für Ladeinfrastruktur spezialisiert hat. Im Gespräch ging es um ein Thema, das für viele E-Auto-Fahrer:innen unsichtbar, aber essenziell ist: das Eichrecht. Dahinter steckt die Sicherstellung, dass beim Laden exakt die Energiemenge abgerechnet wird, die auch wirklich im Akku landet. Michael erklärte es einfach: „Der Endkunde möchte genau die Energiemenge bezahlen, die er tatsächlich erhalten hat – dafür ist der Stromzähler da.“ Die Geräte sorgen für Verbraucherschutz, Manipulationssicherheit und Markttransparenz. Jede Ladesäule, die in Deutschland betrieben wird, muss mit einem solchen eichrechtskonformen Zähler ausgestattet sein. Besonders spannend fand ich, dass es für den DC-Bereich (Schnellladen) anfangs gar keine Normen gab. DZG Metering entwickelte in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der Physikalisch-Technischen Bundesanstalt (PTB) den ersten zugelassenen DC-Zähler – eine echte Pionierarbeit. Heute liefern sie unter anderem an große Hersteller wie Alpitronic, ABB und Kempower. Das Unternehmen bietet Zähler in verschiedenen Leistungsklassen an, von 200 kW bis hin zu über zwei MW, also auch für das Megawatt-Laden der Zukunft. Ein weiterer Punkt war die technische Weiterentwicklung: Durch das sogenannte Shunt-Prinzip erreicht DZG besonders präzise Messwerte mit einer Genauigkeit von maximal 0,5 Prozent Abeichung – aktuell ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal. Auch das Thema Transparenz wurde diskutiert: Das Open Charge Metering Format (OCMF) ermöglicht, dass jeder Ladevorgang digital nachvollzogen werden kann, vergleichbar mit einem digitalen Kassenbon. Michael betonte: „So kann der Endverbraucher genau prüfen, dass er nur das bezahlt, was er bekommen hat.“ Natürlich sprachen wir auch über Herausforderungen. Eine Nachrüstung alter Ladesäulen mit neuen, eichrechtskonformen Zählern ist komplex und kaum ohne Zulassungsverfahren möglich. Gleichzeitig gibt es politischen Druck, die Ladeinfrastruktur nicht auszubremsen. Michael brachte es auf den Punkt: Die Behörden wollen stärker prüfen, aber niemand will funktionierende Ladepunkte zurückbauen. Zum Schluss warfen wir noch einen Blick in die Zukunft. Michael wünscht sich pragmatischere Regelungen, etwa den Wegfall des physischen Displays am Zähler zugunsten moderner, digitaler Lösungen. „Nicht jeder braucht ein Display – oft wäre es effizienter, über Smartphone oder Bluetooth zu prüfen“, sagte er. Die neue MID-Richtlinie, die in zwei Jahren greifen soll, könnte genau das ermöglichen. Nun aber genug der Vorrede – lasst uns direkt ins Gespräch mit Michael Zintl einsteigen.

Episode Summary: In this special crossover episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, host Benoy Thanjan sits down with Ana Conde from PVcase  originally featured on her Watt Matters Podcast to break down one of the most critical stages of solar project development: site selection and feasibility. From choosing the right land and navigating interconnection hurdles to understanding permitting, moratoriums, and evolving market dynamics, Benoy shares hard-earned lessons from developing over 100 MW of solar projects across the U.S. He also discusses how technology, AI, and relationships all play a role in finding and executing the right solar sites. This conversation is packed with practical insights for developers, EPCs, investors, and anyone who wants to understand how the best projects actually get built. Topics Covered: What truly defines a “good” solar site and how to spot red flags early How developers can evaluate flat land, proximity to three-phase power, and interconnection feasibility The growing challenges in saturated markets like New York and New Jersey How to navigate solar moratoriums, endangered species issues, and permitting Real-world lessons from community solar and rooftop projects, including NYCHA's Harlem portfolio The role of AI, GIS tools, and automation in speeding up site selection and design Why relationships, transparency, and trust still matter more than ever How the “Big Beautiful Bill” and regulatory uncertainty are reshaping the solar landscape Trends shaping the future: solar + storage, repowering assets, and new market geographies Notable Quote: “At the end of the day, you can have all the technology in the world, but if you can't build relationships, it's a lot harder to develop great projects. People do business with those they know, like, and trust.” Key Takeaway: Solar success starts long before construction. Smart site selection, community engagement, and disciplined feasibility analysis separate projects that thrive from those that never get off the ground.   Biographies Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy, solar developer and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups.

România continuă cu producția de energie electrică obținută din cărbuni. Motivul este clar: nu a putut să înlocuiască producătorii pe cărbuni cu alții care să folosească gazele naturale sau sursele regenerabile. Dar, cărbunii nu vor putea fi o soluție pe termen lung. România a reușit să obțină o derogare de la Comisia Europeană și va menține în funcțiune pentru încă o perioadă termocentralele care folosesc cărbuni, respectiv lignit. Prin PNRR, România s-a angajat să retragă din exploatare, până la sfârșitul anului 2025, aproximativ 1.750 MW, respectiv Complexul Energetic Oltenia, Electrocentrale Craiova, CET Govora și UAT Iași. Administrația de la București a tatonat încă de anul trecut Comisia Europeană pentru a amâna aplicarea deciziilor de închidere a unor unități de producție de energie electrică pe bază de cărbuni. Hotărârea a fost luată în urmă cu câteva zile o dată cu schimbarea unor jaloane din PNRR, astfel că România va mai putea să utilizeze centralele pe cărbuni până la sfârșitul anului 2029. Argumentul important pe care l-a adus România în fața Comisiei Europene a fost acela că are în continuare nevoie de producție de energie electrică în bandă și că deocamdată sursa cea mai sigură este producția bazată pe cărbuni. Adevărul este că s-a spus de multe ori că România este obligată să închidă o serie de capacități de producție bazate pe cărbuni. Este o abordare mai degrabă politică, pentru că, pe de o parte, România nu a fost obligată, ci și-a asumat deciziile în cadrul Planului Național de Redresare și Reziliență (PNRR), iar, pe de altă parte, se omite de fiecare dată să se spună că procesul de închidere trebuia să fie compensat de unul de construcție. Mai exact, România a avut la dispoziție patru ani pentru a pregăti oprirea centralelor pe cărbuni. Planul era să se construiască o serie de capacități de producție de energie electrică pe bază de gaze naturale sau din surse regenerabile. De exemplu, planul era să se construiască două centrale pe gaze la Ișalnița și Turceni. Numai că în ultimii ani nu s-a făcut aproape nimic. Turceni și Ișalnița sunt proiecte mult întârziate, centrala Romgaz de la Iernut este și ea blocată de constructor, iar colaborările pe care ar fi trebuit să le dezvolte Complexul Energetic Oltenia sunt în fază incipientă. În aceste condiții, este evident că România nu are la această oră o alternativă viabilă la producția de energie pe bază de cărbuni. Nu s-a făcut nimic pentru a produce energie electrică în bandă nu din cărbuni, ci din gaze naturale. Mai mult, România are la dispoziție bani europeni, cum ar fi, de exemplu, Fondul de Modernizare cu care poate dezvolta capacități de producție și de stocare. Doar că proiectele pe bani europeni sau cu fonduri naționale au avut aceeași soartă, adică sunt în stadii incipiente de realizare. De exemplu, Complexul Energetic Oltenia are o serie de proiecte de dezvoltare. Este vorba despre construcția a patru parcuri fotovoltaice, cu puteri instalate diferite, în colaborare cu OMV Petrom. În proiect este și un al cincilea parc fotovoltaic ce ar trebui realizat în parteneriat cu o companie de specialitate din sectorul privat. La care se adaugă două blocuri energetice ce ar fi trebuit construite la Turceni și Ișalnița în colaborare cu Alro Slatina și compania Tinmar. Este greu de spus în ce stadiu sunt aceste proiecte, dar cu siguranță sunt departe de a fi finalizate. Termenele de punere în funcțiune sunt anii 2026 sau 2027, însă, este clar că sunt mari întârzieri în dezvoltarea acestor capacități de producție. Deocamdată, Comisia Europeană a fost convinsă de păstrarea în funcțiune a termocentralelor pe cărbuni, pentru că a înțeles nevoia României de a avea energie în bandă. Întrebarea este: dacă situația va fi la fel în 2029 se va mai obține o nouă derogare? România nu ar trebui să mizeze pe amânări, ci să construiască noi capacități de producție. Dacă se va întâmpla acest lucru, oprirea unor termocentrale pe cărbuni nu va mai părea un dezastru economic, ci o binecuvântare ecologică.

LAREDO, Texas - Webb and Starr are leading South Texas in clean energy growth with new solar panels, wind power, and battery storage, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar reports.The Laredo Democrat released a new update showing that Texas' 28th Congressional District - his district - is a powerhouse in clean energy production – pairing renewable power with traditional oil and gas to lower energy costs for families and strengthen the local economy. He said that as a base for economic growth, the district ranks among the top in Texas for new energy projects, with Webb and Starr Counties leading the way in generation and development.“I've always said that South Texas doesn't have to choose between oil and gas and clean energy,” said Congressman Cuellar. “We can do both – and that's exactly what we're doing. Our district is producing more energy, creating more jobs, and generating more local tax revenue than ever before. This growth keeps costs down for every household in South Texas while ensuring reliable power for years to come.”Cuellar said because his district is a powerhouse for new energy, good jobs are being created.“When I talk with families in places like Laredo, Zapata, or Rio Grande City, I hear the same thing: people just want steady work, affordable energy, and a better future for their kids. That's what these projects bring — not slogans, but results. They mean paychecks, progress, and pride for our communities,” Cuellar said.During a webinar with reporters, Cuellar said his district is home to 30 active clean energy projects, generating 3,548 megawatts (MW) of power across six counties — with 18 more projects planned that will add another 3,062 MW of new capacity in the coming years. Editor's Note: Go to the Rio Grande Guardian to read the full story.Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, and I don't receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will reveal any investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. I have a great crop of 10 articles for you in this podcast! Note: Some companies are covered more than once. ------------------------------------------------------------- Sustainable Companies: 50 Top Investments For Sustainability on investors.com This first article could provide you with several investing ideas. It's titled Sustainable Companies: 50 Top Investments For Sustainability on investors.com. The introduction is by Anne Stanley. Here are some quotes from Ms. Stanley. “The top ranks are filled with financial services, utility and consumer companies… To build IBD's 2025 list of the Most Sustainable Companies, we started with Morningstar's U.S. and global Low Carbon Transition Leaders Indexes… The stocks had to have a price of $10 or more and sufficient data to create an IBD Composite Rating. We further qualified the list by removing stocks that did not meet or beat the S&P 500 in the past five years. We selected the companies with the highest IBD Composite Rating — all with scores of 80 or better. Finally, we ranked the companies by their Morningstar Sustainalytics climate management score, using the IBD Composite Rating to break any ties.” End quotes IBD's top 5 companies for 2025 are Eaton (ETN), Bank of Montreal (BMO), Stantec (STN), Loews (L) and TJX Companies (TJX). ------------------------------------------------------------- 10 Stocks and Funds that Benefit from China's Emissions Cuts on morningstar.com This second article might seem a little unusual. To see why, here's the title. 10 Stocks and Funds that Benefit from China's Emissions Cuts on morningstar.com. It's by Leslie P. Norton. Some of the investments are Chinese, which might bother some people; nonetheless, they will appeal to many others who follow this podcast. Here are a few quotes and some picks from the article. “China has announced plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 7%-10% from peak levels by 2035. This is the first time the country has committed to an absolute emissions target. In a video address to the United Nations, President Xi Jinping also said that China would boost wind and solar capacity sixfold from 2020 levels and increase the share of non-fossil fuels to more than 30% of total energy consumption… Who Benefits from China's Emissions Cuts? China will also accelerate its voluntary carbon market and carbon certificates, which companies can trade to offset their own emissions. Kathlyn Collins, head of responsible investing and stewardship at Matthews Asia [says]…‘With the increase in terms of focus on emissions reduction from intensity to absolute emission levels, more and more industries will come under the purview of the emissions trading scheme.' According to Collins, the main beneficiaries will be battery storage systems, grid infrastructure upgrading, smart grid metering, energy management systems, environmental consulting, monitoring compliance, and of course the continued buildout of renewables and lean power.

It's titled 3 AI Infrastructure Stocks Riding the Coming Power Crunch on finance.yahoo.com and is by George Budwell. Here are some quotes from Mr. Budwell. “1. Iren Ltd. (NASDAQ: IREN) has transformed its roots as a Bitcoin miner into a broader play on high-performance computing. The company is redeploying its energy-intensive infrastructure to support artificial intelligence, acquiring massive GPU fleets that include Nvidia's B-series accelerators and AMD's (AMD) new MI350X chips. That pivot is already showing up in the numbers: revenue climbed 226% year over year to $187 million in Q4 fiscal 2025, while gross margins improved as higher-value AI services began to supplement traditional mining… The stock has surged 326% year to date, reflecting investor enthusiasm, but the AI cloud segment is still in its early innings. The main risk is utilization: if customer demand doesn't keep pace, expensive GPUs could sit idle while fixed costs pile up. Still, Iren has so far executed well on its transition, positioning itself as one of the more credible emerging players at the intersection of compute and energy. 2. Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD) designs and builds AI-optimized data centers from the ground up. Its flagship Polaris Forge campus is planned to scale to 1 gigawatt of capacity -- enough to power a small city. A marquee lease with CoreWeave (CRWV) validates demand for its high-density facilities, but the stock already trades at roughly 34 times trailing sales, far above peer multiples. That valuation captures both the upside and the risk. If Applied Digital delivers on schedule and secures high utilization at premium rates, early investors could see outsized gains. But construction delays, cost overruns, or permitting issues could quickly erode returns. The stock's sharp swings this year underline just how much speculation is embedded in today's price. 3. Poet Technologies (NASDAQ: POET) is targeting one of AI's hidden bottlenecks: the energy cost of moving data inside data centers. Its optical interposer platform uses light instead of electricity for chip-to-chip and rack-to-rack communication, aiming to cut power consumption while boosting speed… With a sub-$500 million market cap, the stock carries lottery-ticket risk/reward: meaningful upside if design wins materialize, but significant execution risk until revenues reach scale.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Shining a Light on 5 Clean Energy ETFs as We Step Into Q4 on finance.yahoo.com Now some picks from a regular to this podcast, Aparajita Dutta.

Apple passe à la vitesse supérieure sur le front de la transition énergétique. Le géant californien a annoncé un plan d'investissement de plus de 600 millions de dollars, soit un peu plus de 500 millions d'euros, pour verdir la consommation électrique de ses utilisateurs européens. L'objectif : compenser d'ici 2030 l'intégralité de l'électricité utilisée pour charger les appareils Apple sur le Vieux Continent.Six pays sont concernés : l'Italie, l'Espagne, la Grèce, la Pologne, la Roumanie et la Lettonie. Dans chacun, la marque à la pomme finance des parcs solaires et éoliens géants, pour injecter à terme 3 000 gigawattheures d'énergie renouvelable par an dans les réseaux européens. Une manière concrète de réduire son empreinte carbone, tout en renforçant la production locale d'électricité propre. Les premiers résultats sont déjà visibles. En Grèce, une centrale solaire de 110 mégawatts, opérée par HELLENiQ Energy, tourne à plein régime. En Italie, plusieurs projets solaires et éoliens totalisant 129 MW sont en cours, dont le premier site sicilien démarre ce mois-ci. En Espagne, le parc solaire Castaño près de Ségovie, développé par ib vogt, produit déjà ses 131 MW depuis janvier.Dans l'Est du continent, Apple concentre ses efforts sur les régions les plus carbonées. En Pologne, une installation de 40 MW verra le jour fin 2025, tandis qu'en Roumanie, un parc éolien de 99 MW est en construction dans le comté de Galați. En Lettonie, European Energy édifie l'un des plus grands parcs solaires du pays, avec 110 MW de puissance. Au total, ces projets ajouteront 650 MW de capacités vertes au réseau européen. Apple explique que 29 % de ses émissions mondiales proviennent de l'usage même de ses produits : autrement dit, de chaque recharge d'iPhone ou de Mac. « D'ici 2030, nous voulons que nos utilisateurs sachent que l'énergie qu'ils consomment est intégralement compensée par de l'électricité propre », promet Lisa Jackson, vice-présidente en charge de l'environnement. Avec 19 gigawatts de renouvelable déjà produits dans le monde, Apple veut désormais s'attaquer aux régions les plus dépendantes du charbon. Un pari ambitieux, mais peut-être le plus cohérent de sa stratégie carbone : faire rimer high-tech et énergie propre. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Utah State defeated San José State 30-25 Friday night in a thrilling Homecoming victory. Quarterback Bryson Barnes led the offense, throwing for a career-high 326 yards and scoring a rushing touchdown. The Aggies reclaimed the lead late in the fourth quarter on two field goals by kicker Tanner Rinker, who finished 3-for-3 on the night. The victory was sealed when the defense, energized by a raucous crowd, forced a turnover on downs as time expired. Utah State football (4-3, 2-1 MW) heads southward to take on New Mexico (3-3, 0-2 MW) on Saturday, Oct. 25, at 1 p.m. Hear postgame analysis, along with comments from the coach, players and fans. 

Public power utilities are community-owned, not-for-profit electric utilities that deliver reliable, low-cost electricity to about 2,000 communities serving more than 55 million Americans. Among the cities served by public power utilities are Austin, Texas; Nashville, Tennessee; Los Angeles, California; Jacksonville, Florida; and Seattle, Washington. The Large Public Power Council (LPPC) is the voice of large public power in Washington, D.C. It advocates for policies that enable members to build critical energy infrastructure, power the growth of the economy, and provide affordable and reliable electricity to millions of Americans. The LPPC's members are 29 of the largest public power systems in the nation. Together, they serve 30.5 million consumers across 23 states and territories. Tom Falcone, president of the LPPC, noted that all power companies, whether publicly owned, cooperatives, or investor-owned utilities (IOUs), are in the same business, that is, to reliably deliver electricity to customers. The big difference is that public power companies are accountable at home. “We're publicly owned. We are not-for-profit. We are community oriented. We're mission oriented. And so, our real goal, and only goal in life, is reliable, affordable power—sustainable power—back home at the least cost to customers,” Falcone said as a guest on The POWER Podcast. “So, we're not necessarily looking to grow loads or grow earnings, unless that's favorable to our community, unless we're meeting the needs of our community or lowering costs for them.” Public power companies face many of the same concerns as co-ops and IOUs. One of the biggest challenges today is rapid load growth, driven by data centers, artificial intelligence (AI), and the increasing electrification of manufacturing and transportation. “The biggest thing is that the load is arriving faster and lumpier, and in a more concentrated fashion, than it has in the past,” explained Falcone. “Historically, when somebody new came to town, they wanted, you know, 5 MW, or maybe they were really large and they wanted 100 MW,” said Falcone. “But what we have today is folks who come to town and they want a GW, which is enough to power probably 600,000 homes, depending on what part of the country you're in.” Falcone said about half of LPPC's members are seeing this very, very rapid growth. “They could double over the next 10 years,” he said. While the demand for the energy is very immediate, utilities' ability to build infrastructure is not. “We have to go through the same permitting and public processes, and construction and supply chain, and it just doesn't allow us to build quite that fast,” Falcone reported.

In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we break down three major stories transforming the hydrogen landscape—technically, economically, and politically.✈️ Aviation's Hydrogen Breakthrough Airbus UpNext and Toshiba unveil the Cryoprop demonstrator—a 2 MW superconducting electric motor cooled by liquid hydrogen that doubles as both coolant and fuel. With 10x the power density of conventional motors and near-zero electrical resistance, this innovation could redefine aviation decarbonization. Hydrogen cooling enables lighter, more efficient propulsion for regional and mid-haul aircraft, paving the way for zero-emission flight by 2035.

Sandro, founder of KWARKX, shares how his team is bringing utility-scale solar to chain via NFT membership passes that let anyone participate in project returns—without the usual high minimums. We cover: why Cardano (sustainability, security, decentralization), what on-chain access actually looks like (claimable pools, 10-year participation), and the nuts & bolts of real projects (e.g., a 51 MW Netherlands solar park with 20 MW battery storage powering ~35,000 homes). Sandro explains the surge of RWA interest, grid/storage realities, subsidies vs. open market power sales, and KWARKX's Project Catalyst journey. We also talk expansion (NL, Austria, Italy, Germany), regulation (MiCA & Dubai VARA), and the roadmap: exhibitions, partnerships, and the goal to fund first parks directly on-chain.Timestamps[00:00] Origin story: solar EPC roots → NFTs as access keys[00:02] Problem: Renewable projects require high buy-ins; KWARKX lowers the barrier[00:03] Why Cardano: mission fit, security (no hacks), governance, PoS sustainability[00:05] Reality of renewables: utility-scale builds, storage changes the game[00:06] Case study: 51 MW NL solar + 20 MW battery; ~900M kWh over 20 yrs[00:08] Peak demand patterns; storage & dam “battery” concepts[00:10] Investor access: NFT = membership pass; claimable ADA pool over 10 yrs[00:12] Transparency: on-chain claims, pool visibility, traceability[00:13] Customers: grid entities/governments, NFT community, broader RWA crowd[00:15] Subsidies vs. free-market power sales; cross-border electricity flows[00:16] How big can it get?

Germany is experiencing a battery blitz. The market is expected to triple from 2GW to 6GW in less than two years. To give a bit of context, Zach Williams from Modo Energy, gives us the big picture and fundamentals of the German battery market.  Legacy developers have not yet been able to catch that wave, but newcomers have. We bring on one those new pioneers, Philipp Man, CEO of Terralayr.  In less than three years, Philipp has managed to set up a company which operates or currently builds 150MW of batteries in Germany; more importantly he has managed to sign some of the first tolling agreements with heavyweights such as Vattenfall and RWE. His approach combines medium size batteries (10-30MW) rather than gigantic ones.  The Vattenfall-Terralayr deal is a pioneering seven-year, 55 MW multi-asset capacity tolling agreement for a decentralized fleet of battery energy storage systems (BESS) across Germany, announced in May 2025. Described as an industry-first "virtual battery tolling structure," it marks a significant shift from traditional single-asset tolling models, enabling scalable and flexible energy storage solutions without significant capital investment from Vattenfall.  With Philipp, we dissect his lightspeed approach in a seemingly bureaucratic environment, we analyse how he has been to put assets on the ground so fast, and his approach to commercialisation of flexibility combining hard assets and a digital layer.  We discuss the price formation of tolling agreements, the “tranching” of capacity and how he sees the future. Is Terralayr a tech company? Is it an infrastructure play? Well, a bit of both.

A conversation on nuclear's next wave with Giordano Morichi of Terra Innovatum and Gus Garcia of GSR III Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: GSRT) Developers of small, modular nuclear reactors have been among the most prized stocks of 2025 given their potential to be big players in the energy mix as data center demand booms. This demand is massive, but when it comes to nuclear reactor design, Terra Innovatum believes it's a matter of the smaller the better. This week, we speak with Giordano Morichi, Chief Business Development Officer and Head of Investor Relations at Terra Innovatum, and Gus Garcia, Co-CEO of GSR III Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:GSRT). The two announced a $475 million business combination April and are now nearing the end of their merger process. Giordano explains why the unique size of Terra Innovatum's 1 MW reactor designs make it a more competitive fit for a host of applications, and how its fuel source could get it to market faster initially and more efficiently over time. Gus gets into how these factors have the potential to compound Terra Innovatum's advantages and why the major gains made by the company's listed peers has made its valuation even more attractive since the deal was struck.

In the 34th episode of the League Podcast, Benoy Thanjan and David Magid break down the most important trends shaping the renewable energy market today. In just five minutes, we cover the biggest opportunities and risks facing developers, investors, and innovators in solar, storage, and beyond.   Key Takeaways Data Centers Driving Demand – Over 9.4 GW of interconnection applications in New Jersey's PSEG market in the last 12 months, led by data centers and advanced manufacturing. Community Solar Boom – New Jersey targets 3 GW by 2029, opening opportunities for rooftop developers; Illinois, Maryland, and New York projects can now pencil without the ITC if interconnection and lease terms align. Hybrid Power Solutions – A 944 MW behind-the-meter natural gas + battery storage plant in Pennsylvania highlights the shift toward hybrid generation and reliability models. Solar + Storage vs. Gas – New Jefferies analysis shows solar + storage is now cheaper than natural gas on a levelized cost basis. Safe Harbor Updates – New rules replace the 5% test with “beginning of construction” standards for projects above 1.5 MW AC, requiring four-year continuity and physical work tests. Capacity Growth Outlook – EIA forecasts 64 GW of solar and 18 GW of storage additions in 2025, making solar nearly half of all new U.S. capacity.   Why It Matters David highlights how developers can prepare for interconnection competition, leverage new community solar programs, and navigate shifting tax credit rules. I share insights on the new safe harboring provisions and what they mean for financing and project timelines. Together, we paint a picture of a rapidly scaling clean energy sector where solar is poised to supply 50–60% of U.S. electricity within two decades.   Host Bio: David Magid David Magid is a seasoned renewable energy executive with deep expertise in solar development, financing, and operations.

Duke Energy's Andy Browning joins Dave and Steve to unpack how a modern utility balances today's demand spikes—especially from data centers—with tomorrow's low-carbon grid. Andy traces his path from Babcock & Wilcox field engineer to Duke's GM of Engineering & Construction Services, explains why Duke runs an “all-of-the-above” strategy (gas as a bridge, batteries for flexibility, solar growth, hydro upgrades), and makes the case that nuclear—both large units and SMRs—will anchor long-term reliability. The trio dig into dam stabilization, battery use cases (peak shaving and PV smoothing), project timelines and costs, community engagement, and how policy and tariffs shape what actually gets built. They close with a look at fusion research and a rapid-fire on bourbon, woodworking, and what fuels resilience.Key TakeawaysCareer & scope: Andy oversees engineering, construction, commissioning, quality, safety, and project controls for Duke's big builds.Cultural lesson: International work taught him to respect local pace and processes—context changes what “top priority” means.Hydro safety: Post-FERC reviews are driving earthen-dam rebuilds (compaction, drainage layers) to prevent liquefaction under seismic events.Resource mix: Duke is pursuing gas, nuclear, solar, hydro, and batteries; offshore wind unlikely near-term given costs and policy headwinds.Batteries' role: Great for peak shaving and smoothing solar variability; typical systems are 2–4-hour duration (e.g., 10 MW / 40 MWh).Scale & siting: Solar needs ~6–10 acres per MW and only delivers during daylight; data centers requesting 400–1,000 MW reshape planning.Timelines & costs (rule of thumb): Batteries ~12–15 months after development; solar similar; combined-cycle gas ~4 years; nuclear 10+ years.Cost reality: A 75-MW solar site ≈ $100–150M; a 1,000-MW gas plant ≈ ~$2B; nuclear is multiples beyond—but with long lifespans.Nuclear outlook: Expect SMRs + large reactors; challenges include qualified supply chains, workforce, and public education; existing units targeting 80-year life via extensions.Data-center surge: Demand is soaring; innovative financing/ownership models (e.g., behind-the-meter, cost-sharing) may protect retail customers.

In this DCF Trends-Nomads at the Summit Podcast episode, the hosts from Data Center Frontier and Nomad Futurist sit down with Adrienne Pierce, CEO of New Sun Road, to explore the emerging frontier of sovereign and renewable energy solutions for modular data center deployment. With over 1,500 microgrids under management via the company's Stellar platform, Pierce brings a field-tested perspective on how flexible, AI-driven energy controls can empower edge and sub-10 MW data center systems—especially in regions where traditional grid infrastructure can't keep up with AI-era demands. This discussion dives into the real-world opportunities for modular, microgrid-powered data centers to unlock new markets, reduce energy costs, and create more resilient and autonomous compute infrastructure at the edge and beyond. Expect sharp insights into what it means to decouple data center growth from utility bottlenecks—and how the right energy intelligence can accelerate both sustainability and scalability.

A Clean Wisconsin analysis shows just two approved data centers in Wisconsin will use more power than all the homes in our state combined. More than the generation capacity of the Point Beach nuclear plant, the single-largest source of power in Wisconsin. And that leaves a lot of people are wondering, where is all this leading us? What will it mean for Wisconsin's precious water resources, our land, our energy bills? And why is it so hard to find out? In this episode, an in-depth conversation on the secrets of data centers.

GM EXTENDS EV LEASE INCENTIVES THROUGH YEAR-END GM will extend EV lease incentives for Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac through December 31, protecting deals signed before September 30 despite the federal tax credit expiry. The program lets buyers lock in rebates for vehicles already in transit, with lease prices expected to rise after the commercial-credit route closes. PORSCHE CAYENNE EV DEVELOPED WITH SIMULATIONS Porsche's Cayenne EV, due for debut at the end of the year, was developed using extensive AI and digital simulations that cut development time and prototype count by 20%. The SUV, built on the 800V SSP platform, targets a fast charge from 10% to 80% in 16 minutes and offers wireless charging as an option. 35% OF UK DRIVERS LIKELY TO CHOOSE EVS Renault UK's survey finds 35% of British drivers are likely to choose an EV following the government's Electric Car Grant, especially younger buyers and men. Barriers include charging, range, and cost, but all Renault's EVs now qualify for grant thresholds, starting from £21,495. EREVS: CONSUMER MISUNDERSTANDING AND OPPORTUNITY Escalent research reveals most car buyers lack awareness of Extended Range Electric Vehicles (EREVs), but favorability rises after learning about their hybrid nature. Automakers see EREVs as a bridge to EV adoption for hesitant buyers, and models like Ram's pickup and VW Scout are attracting more deposits than BEVs. TESLA-UBER FREIGHT TO DRIVE SEMI ADOPTION Tesla is partnering with Uber Freight to deploy electric Semis on freight routes, aiming to drive broader EV truck adoption and highlight operating cost benefits. Uber's network helps reduce uncertainties for operators, positioning Tesla's Semi to compete in commercial shipping lanes with “no compromises”. TESLA SETTLES TWO 2019 AUTOPILOT LAWSUITS Tesla discreetly settled two lawsuits from 2019 California crashes involving Autopilot; these come after a major Florida verdict against Tesla over FSD failures. The settlements underscore legal risks around Tesla's self-driving technology, which is central to the company's trillion-dollar valuation narrative. MUNICH AIRPORT OPENS 275-POINT EV CHARGING PARK Munich Airport opened Bavaria's largest EV charging park with 275 stations and a solar array of 7,216 modules generating up to 3 MW of renewable power. The €5.2 million project gives passengers 138 accessible EV chargers and supports broader adoption in Germany. EV REALTY BUILDS TRUCK CHARGING HUBS EV Realty is addressing grid limitations for electric trucks by building multi-fleet fast-charging hubs in California, using proprietary software to optimize site selection near industrial centers. The company raised $75 million for expansion, modelling its facilities after data centers and targeting hundreds of megawatts of unused grid capacity. SPAIN 2025 GRID AND EV CHARGING Spain's surging EV adoption in 2025 is stressing the nation's power grid, with current charging sites capable of 1–3 MW but future upgrades needed for heavy-duty vehicles and rural coverage. Experts warn grid upgrades must precede mass charge point rollouts to avoid bottlenecks as demand grows. ICELAND NEW CAR REGISTRATIONS RISE, EVS LEAD Iceland's new car registrations jumped 28% year-on-year, mostly driven by rental companies, with 80% of sales classified as “new energy” vehicles. Fully electric cars accounted for a third of registrations, hybrids 24%, plug-in hybrids 21%, and petrol/diesel just 20%. U.S. EV CHARGING NETWORK GROWTH SLOWS U.S. EV charging infrastructure growth slowed to 19% in the past year, even as demand rises, and total charging output increased 52%. A survey found 53% of U.S. respondents cited lacking charging access as the biggest barrier to EV adoption. UK PLANS £500M SOUTHAMPTON EV TERMINAL ABP plans a £500 million electric vehicle terminal at Southampton to handle surging imports of Chinese EVs, projecting over 100,000 vehicles in 2026—20% of UK car trade through the port. Expansion plans include multi-storey storage, new berths, and capacity to meet demand, as the UK takes a more open approach than the EU or US on Asian EV imports.

Pourquoi les éoliennes produisent-elles plus d'électricité quand il fait froid ? La réponse tient à la fois à la physique de l'air et au fonctionnement même des turbines.La densité de l'air : un facteur cléL'électricité produite par une éolienne dépend principalement de la vitesse du vent et de la densité de l'air. La formule de base est la suivante :Puissance = ½ × ρ × S × v³ × Cpoù ρ est la densité de l'air, S la surface balayée par les pales, v la vitesse du vent et Cp le rendement aérodynamique.Or, la densité de l'air varie avec la température. À 0 °C, l'air est environ 10 % plus dense qu'à 30 °C. Concrètement, 1 m³ d'air pèse environ 1,29 kg à 0 °C contre 1,16 kg à 30 °C. Cette différence, qui peut sembler faible, a un effet direct sur la puissance récupérée : plus l'air est lourd, plus il contient d'énergie cinétique pour une même vitesse de vent.Exemple chiffréPrenons une éolienne terrestre de 2 MW, avec un vent de 12 m/s. À 30 °C, elle produira environ 1,7 MW. À 0 °C, dans les mêmes conditions de vent, elle peut monter à 1,9 MW. Le gain est donc de plus de 10 % simplement dû au froid.Les régimes de vent en hiverÀ cela s'ajoute un autre facteur : en hiver, dans beaucoup de régions tempérées, les vents sont plus soutenus et plus réguliers. En Europe par exemple, les parcs éoliens atteignent souvent des facteurs de charge (le rapport entre production réelle et production théorique maximale) de 35 à 40 % en hiver, contre seulement 20 à 25 % en été. Cela signifie que non seulement chaque tour de pale produit davantage d'énergie, mais qu'en plus, les éoliennes tournent plus longtemps à des vitesses optimales.Attention aux extrêmesIl existe toutefois une limite. Les éoliennes sont conçues pour fonctionner entre environ -20 °C et +40 °C. En dessous, la glace peut se former sur les pales, modifiant leur aérodynamique et diminuant la production. C'est pourquoi certaines machines sont équipées de systèmes de dégivrage.En résuméLes éoliennes produisent plus d'électricité par temps froid, d'abord parce que l'air est plus dense et contient donc plus d'énergie, ensuite parce que les régimes de vent hivernaux sont plus favorables. C'est ce double effet qui explique que, dans des pays comme la France, l'Allemagne ou le Danemark, les records de production éolienne se situent presque toujours en hiver. Hébergé par Acast.

Stage has now been set.   Economy Governor Murphy's Green New Deal Exacerbates NJ Energy Crisis New Jerseyans are feeling the pain of higher electricity bills. They should blame Governor Phil Murphy and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) for inviting this energy crisis. The BPU was slated to approve a 20% rate hike in June, but delayed the rate hike until September 30. On August 14, the BPU announced a $100 Residential Universal Bill Credit to help lower bills in September and October. This is a way to use taxes to disguise the cost of utility bills, but New Jerseyans are still shouldering these costs. When announcing this relief measure, Governor Murphy didn't accept responsibility for higher prices. Instead, he blamed PJM Interconnection, a grid operator servicing New Jersey and 12 other states, for creating a “cost crisis.” Earlier this summer, he urged residents to set their air conditioners to 76-78 degrees Fahrenheit and delay appliance usage until 8 p.m. But Garden Staters aren't buying what Murphy is selling. Since Governor Murphy entered office in 2017, six power plants—including five coal plants and Oyster Creek nuclear reactor—were shut down. This represents a loss of 2,500 megawatts (MW) of net capacity. As a result, the state consumes more energy than it produces. It imported 20% of its electricity from out-of-state power generators—namely, Pennsylvania. Imported electricity is more expensive due to higher fuel and transmission costs. One analysis found NJ's green “transition” “has outpaced its replacement infrastructure, raising concerns about grid stability, cost volatility, and energy independence.” Yet, there is no transition occurring. Natural gas and nuclear have cumulatively supplied over 90% of the state's net electricity generation since 2011. Renewables, including solar, barely supply 8%. But don't take my word for it. States with clean energy mandates—including renewable standard portfolios (RPS) that mandate electric utilities set renewable energy targets—generally have higher electricity costs compared to states without them. As of this writing, New Jersey electricity rates are the 12th most expensive in the nation, averaging 20.49¢ per kilowatt-hour (kWh). That's 17.3% higher than the national average (17.47¢ per kWh). For context, the average American household uses about 10,800 kWh annually.
