California Cruise in Düsseldorf, offered in short- and long-wheelbase forms with 79 kWh and 86 kWh batteries respectively, sleeping accommodation for two, and first deliveries due in early 2027 from €60,761 (about $70,800). Standard kit includes the Interior Style and Comfort Packages plus the PowerSocket vehicle-to-load adapter, which delivers 2 kW continuous and 3.6 kW peak power, while California Mode keeps USB ports live and air conditioning running at sleeping temperature for up to 48 hours depending on charge and outside conditions.MERCEDES-AMG CLA 45 IS A DIFFERENT BEASTThe electric Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 saloon is on sale in the UK at £66,750 (about $90,660), matching the outgoing petrol car's price and undercutting the plug-in hybrid C63 by £34,000 for comparable output, with the Shooting Brake £1000 more and the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N its nearest rival at £65,800. Three Yasa axial-flux motors produce 671bhp for a 3.0sec 0-62mph time in the 2.3-tonne saloon, with claimed ranges of 416 and 398 miles, 330kW charging giving 10-80% in 22 minutes, a rear-axle drift mode, and deliveries starting next year.51% OF U.S. CONSUMERS WOULD CONSIDER A CHINA-MADE VEHICLEA Dave Cantin Group market outlook report found 51% of U.S. consumers would consider a China-made vehicle despite Chinese brands not being sold there, with willingness at 77% among under-35s versus 36% among those 55 and older, driven by affordability as average transaction prices sit near $50,000 and monthly payments run far above five-year-ago levels. Chinese brands have taken roughly 10% share in Europe and Mexico in under five years, a pace that took Japanese and Korean makers nearly two decades, and the resulting collapse in established automakers' China business, combined with the EV unwind and tariffs, is already reshaping product and production decisions with direct consequences for U.S. dealers.ELECTRIFIED MODELS FILL JULY'S FASTEST-SELLING USED-CAR TOP 10For the first time since Autotrader UK began tracking the data, no petrol or diesel model appeared in July's 10 fastest-selling used cars, with eight BEVs and two hybrids from MG and Toyota filling the list, led by the hybrid MG ZS at 13 days, the Kia Niro at 15 and the Tesla Model 3 at 17. A year earlier BEVs held only four of the ten places, and July's slowest-selling used models were entirely petrol and diesel, with no BEV among them.TERRA CHARGE PLANS 2,500 NACS POINTS IN JAPANJapan's Terra Charge will begin adding NACS charging from 2028 at commercial sites, major transport routes and hotels, targeting 2,500 points by the end of 2033 and studying a NACS-based AC charger for hotels and apartment blocks, though no specifications or timeline have been disclosed. The move responds partly to Tesla driver demand reported by Nikkei Asia, but with only 1,323 registered NACS points against roughly 68,000 charging points nationally, most on CHAdeMO, and a government goal of 300,000 points by 2030, NACS will add connector variety rather than displace the incumbent standard.DCBEL PLATFORM ADOPTED IN THREE V2X PILOTSDcbel's bidirectional charging platform has been selected for three V2X pilots — California's REDWDS scheme, a PG&E programme and a MassCEC demonstration — offering drivers and fleets equipment funding, lower bills and payments of up to $3,200 per vehicle per year for exporting energy to the grid. The economics depend on vehicle-to-grid export, yet customers have so far opted for vehicle-to-home installations, dcbel had shipped nothing under the programmes at the time of reporting, and most jurisdictions still prohibit grid export altogether.KGM RAISES MUSSO EV AWD TOWING RATINGKGM has lifted the all-wheel-drive Musso EV dual-cab ute's braked towing rating from 1,800kg to 2,300kg, exceeding the 2,000kg rating of Toyota's AWD electric Hilux. The revision undercuts the claim made by former prime minister Scott Morrison during the 2019 Australian election that EVs could not tow a trailer or boat to a camping spot, an argument that became part of the climate culture war, though what any BEV can tow still rests on the rating its manufacturer assigns.PSW WINS ESTONIA FERRY MCS CONTRACTNorway's PSW Power & Automation will equip Estonia's Virtsu–Kuivastu route with a Megawatt Charging System of two charging points at each end, each rated up to 5 MW on a 1,500-volt architecture, to recharge the country's new battery-electric ferry during port stops before its scheduled completion by the end of 2028. The ferry will carry 380 passengers and either 110 cars or eight lorries, making it smaller than the incumbent Piret and Toll, while the charging system will also be open to other compatible vessels, drawing on PSW's Nordic record of more than 250 MW of shore power and over 100 MWh of battery storage.WAYMO SAYS L2 IS INSUFFICIENT FOR L4Waymo has published 10 AI lessons drawn from over 200 million fully autonomous miles, arguing that incrementally improving a Level 2 driver-assistance system is a "false summit" that cannot safely reach Level 4, because neither billions of simulated miles nor millions of supervised miles replicate operating without a human backup. The company, which runs more than 500,000 paid driverless rides a week and targets a million by year-end, uses camera, lidar and radar redundancy and warns against black-box end-to-end networks, in contrast to Tesla's camera-only Tesla Vision, its end-to-end Full Self-Driving versions 14 and 15, and an Austin robotaxi service that has logged 380,000 unsupervised miles.

Subscribe to LMSU's Patreon for some unsolicited advice to the next Victorian Energy Minister! This week our Bonus episode includes Frankie, Luke and Tennant providing some free (unsolicited) advice to whomsoever occupies the hotseat as Victorian Minister for Climate Change and Energy following this year's state election. Run, don't walk, over to www.letmesumup.net and subscribe to our Patreon to hear which hills your intrepid hosts think are are worth dying on. — This week your intrepid hosts have their eyes on Canberra for the entree and main course, and begin with a substantial speech from Climate and Energy Minister Chris Bowen at the National Press Club. Lots to digest in here, but the big ticket was the minister's announcement to expand the Small Scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) to include deemed incentives for 5 years' generation until 2030 of solar PV systems up to 1 MW, up from 100 kW. This idea has been doing the rounds for years and we reckon, it's an idea whose time has well and truly come! Also packed into the speech was some more meat-on-bones for data centre energy requirements in the forthcoming National Standards - but lots more to come on that front! Our main course Summerupperers, this is the kind of episode your intrepid hosts were born for! This week we chow down on some classic LMSU content. That's right, we speak of the government's just-released 2026-27 Safeguard Mechanism Review consultation paper. Adding to our collection of Safeguard-related episodes, we go long on this one! Much anticipated and promised since 2023, this review is looking at how effective the current settings are in delivering the government's 2030 emissions target, and whether adjustments are needed, as well as what the post-2030 settings should be. In the mix: decline rates! Financial support! To ACCU or not to ACCU! Thresholds! Cost of containment! And dare we say it, a little border carbon adjustment, just adjusting carbon at the border? Let's make BoCA a thing, people! One more things Tennant's One More Thing is: Research showing US Permian Basin methane leakage was nearly halved from 2019 to 2023. Effort, and regulation, make a difference! Frankie's One More Thing is: a PSA for some soon-to-be-published research from her day job at Investor Group on Climate Change on proposed reforms to the Safeguard Mechanism! The report will be launched in Canberra early next week, so keep your eyes peeled here. Luke's One More Thing is: a rant about some seriously shortsighted and retrograde comments made by the Federal Opposition, committing to replace the National Construction Code with a basic housing standard based on the 1988 building code, before things like energy efficiency provisions were added. Where to start on this particular head scratcher? Hard to imagine a parliamentarian arguing for higher energy bills for vulnerable households, but these are topsy turvy times we live in. And that's it for now, Summerupperers. There is now a one-stop-shop for all your LMSU needs: head to letmesumup.net to support us on Patreon, procure merch, find back episodes, and leave us a voicemail!

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria dell'11 Agosto 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Energia, geopolitica e materie primeTestate: Repubblica / Corriere della Sera / Il Foglio / Il Riformista / AvvenireLo Stretto di Hormuz torna a essere il principale premio geopolitico incorporato nei prezzi energetici. Il negoziato tra Iran, Oman e Stati Uniti non riesce ancora a normalizzare la situazione e il Brent risale sopra gli 86 dollari al barile, mentre il gas europeo TTF registra un aumento del 5,7%, portandosi a circa 58,8 euro per MWh.Attraverso Hormuz transita normalmente circa un quinto del petrolio mondiale. La riserva strategica americana è inoltre scesa a 298,7 milioni di barili, il livello più basso dal 1983, riducendo il margine di Washington per compensare un nuovo shock attraverso il rilascio delle scorte.Il traffico nello Stretto risulta inferiore di circa il 95% rispetto ai livelli precedenti al conflitto. Il Brent aveva raggiunto circa 120 dollari in marzo, con un aumento del 65%, prima di ridiscendere nell'area 82-83 dollari.La crisi pesa anche sui produttori del Golfo. Adnoc Gas registra un utile trimestrale di 665 milioni di dollari, meno della metà rispetto all'anno precedente, mentre Saudi Aramco chiude con circa 32,7 miliardi di dollari di utile, in calo del 4%.Sul fronte russo-ucraino, gli attacchi contro raffinerie e infrastrutture energetiche russe mantengono un secondo premio di rischio sui mercati. Il messaggio per imprese e investitori è chiaro: un petrolio strutturalmente sostenuto dall'incertezza geopolitica favorisce il settore energetico, ma aumenta contemporaneamente trasporti, inflazione importata e volatilità.Transizione energetica, rinnovabili e nuovo nucleareTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / MF / Gazzetta del MezzogiornoParte operativamente il FerX, uno dei passaggi più rilevanti della giornata per gli investimenti energetici italiani. Le procedure riguardano complessivamente 27,15 GW di nuova capacità rinnovabile con potenza superiore a 1 MW.Le domande per la qualificazione preliminare possono essere presentate dal 25 agosto, mentre per partecipare alla prima asta la richiesta dovrà essere presentata entro il 30 settembre. Gli impianti fino a 1 MW potranno invece accedere direttamente agli incentivi.Il meccanismo introduce requisiti finanziari e industriali più stringenti e prevede criteri che limitano la dipendenza da componentistica proveniente da Paesi terzi. L'obiettivo è quindi non soltanto aumentare la capacità rinnovabile, ma anche favorire una filiera industriale europea.Sul fronte dell'idrogeno vengono indicati 400 milioni di euro di sostegno e un contingente incentivabile fino a 200.000 tonnellate annue di capacità produttiva.Leonardo amplia intanto la propria presenza nel nucleare americano. Leonardo DRS realizzerà un polo produttivo di oltre 13.000 metri quadrati in Connecticut, operativo dall'inizio del 2027, e dispone di commesse potenziali superiori a 3 miliardi di dollari per il programma dei sottomarini nucleari Columbia.I risultati trimestrali rafforzano il quadro: ricavi a 913 milioni di dollari, +10%, Ebitda rettificato +33%, utile netto da 59 a 86 milioni e backlog record di 5,1 miliardi di dollari. Difesa, energia e nucleare stanno quindi convergendo in una filiera industriale ad alto valore aggiunto.Intelligenza artificiale, robotica e nuova industriaTestate: MF / La StampaI robot umanoidi entrano nella fase finanziaria della loro crescita. La cinese Unitree Robotics prepara la quotazione allo Star Market di Shanghai con l'obiettivo di raccogliere fino a 6,1 miliardi di yuan, circa 1 miliardo di dollari.La valutazione complessiva attesa è vicina a 9 miliardi di dollari. Nel 2025 Unitree ha registrato oltre 1,7 miliardi di yuan di ricavi, mentre nel primo trimestre del 2026 il fatturato è cresciuto del 68%.Nel primo semestre 2026 le spedizioni mondiali di robot umanoidi avrebbero raggiunto circa 19.100 unità, oltre tre volte quelle dello stesso periodo dell'anno precedente.In Italia il mercato della robotica umanoide viene stimato intorno a 3,5 miliardi di euro, trasformando quello che fino a pochi mesi fa era soprattutto un tema tecnologico in un vero nuovo segmento industriale e finanziario.Meta spinge intanto verso un'AI più aperta e meno concentrata, attraverso modelli open source e un possibile fondo da 1 miliardo di dollari per sostenere comunità e iniziative collegate all'intelligenza artificiale aperta.Il messaggio di fondo è che AI, robotica, semiconduttori, sensoristica, software ed energia stanno diventando parti della stessa filiera industriale. Per gli investitori il tema è quindi molto più ampio del singolo “titolo AI”.Imprese, fisco e regolamentazioneTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / MF / Il Giornale / Italia OggiLa nuova disciplina fiscale sulle auto aziendali rischia di aumentare il carico anche sui veicoli elettrici. Dopo cinque anni di utilizzo è prevista una maggiorazione del 50% della tassazione, senza distinzione tra motorizzazioni.Secondo Aniasa potrebbero essere interessate circa 12.000 vetture, delle quali circa il 60% elettriche. La misura potrebbe incentivare una sostituzione più frequente delle flotte, con un aumento dei costi per le imprese ma anche una maggiore disponibilità di elettriche usate sul mercato secondario.Sul fronte dei carburanti, tra marzo e luglio la Guardia di Finanza ha rilevato 2.279 violazioni su 3.428 interventi, pari al 66,5%. Complessivamente sono stati effettuati circa 4.800 controlli e sequestrate circa 20.000 tonnellate di prodotti energetici.Il rafforzamento dei controlli rappresenta un elemento positivo per gli operatori regolari, soprattutto in una fase di prezzi elevati nella quale le frodi fiscali possono trasformarsi in una forma significativa di concorrenza sleale.UniCredit perde invece in appello nel contenzioso fiscale relativo alle quote della Banca d'Italia, con una richiesta di rimborso di circa 399,6 milioni di euro. Un caso analogo riguarda Generali per circa 75,55 milioni.Dal 2027 sono inoltre previsti 30 milioni di euro all'anno per la digitalizzazione della giustizia, destinati a sistemi informatici, sicurezza, manutenzione e assistenza. Una misura limitata in valore assoluto, ma potenzialmente importante per ridurre tempi e costi amministrativi.Lavoro, welfare, sanità e demografiaTestate: Repubblica / Italia Oggi / Il Fatto QuotidianoLa natalità italiana resta strettamente collegata a lavoro, casa e disponibilità di servizi. L'età media al primo figlio ha ormai superato i 32 anni, mentre la fecondità è scesa intorno a 1,14 figli per donna, contro oltre 1,6 in Francia.L'analisi sposta quindi l'attenzione dagli incentivi una tantum verso infrastrutture permanenti: asili, abitazioni accessibili, continuità occupazionale e congedi.Dal punto di vista economico, meno nascite significano in prospettiva meno forza lavoro e un rapporto più elevato tra pensionati e occupati. Politiche su asili, servizi, mobilità e abitazioni possono invece aumentare contemporaneamente natalità e partecipazione femminile al mercato del lavoro.Nasce inoltre una grande copertura sanitaria per oltre 1,2 milioni di lavoratori della scuola, attraverso un contratto da circa 320 milioni di euro affidato a UniSalute, Intesa Sanpaolo Protezione e Poste Assicura.La copertura prevede, tra le altre prestazioni, rimborsi per maternità e fino a 500 euro mensili in caso di non autosufficienza permanente. Il welfare contrattuale continua quindi a spostare una quota crescente della protezione sociale verso coperture collettive integrative.Sulle liste d'attesa sanitarie emergono invece criticità. Nel Lazio, nel primo semestre 2026, il rispetto dei tempi sarebbe fermo al 78,5% per le prime visite e all'84,6% per gli esami diagnostici, contro una soglia normativa superiore al 90%.Clima, acqua, agricoltura e infrastruttureTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Avvenire / Gazzetta del MezzogiornoLa siccità nel bacino del Po assume una dimensione economica rilevante. La portata del fiume è scesa a circa un terzo della norma e 101 Comuni di Piemonte e Lombardia risultano in stato d'emergenza.In diverse stazioni del Po le riduzioni della portata si avvicinano al 70% rispetto alle medie storiche. Nell'area del Delta l'intrusione salina risale inoltre per circa 25 chilometri, con conseguenze sull'irrigazione.Anche i principali laghi del Nord mostrano livelli molto bassi: Maggiore al 6%, Como al 7%, Iseo al 13% e Idro al 5%, mentre il Garda si mantiene più resiliente intorno al 47%.La crisi rappresenta un rischio per agricoltura, allevamento, industria e produzione alimentare, ma allo stesso tempo apre un nuovo ciclo potenziale di investimenti in reti idriche, accumulo, irrigazione di precisione e riuso dell'acqua.Sul fronte della qualità delle acque, il 34% dei 391 campionamenti realizzati da Goletta Verde risulta oltre i limiti di legge.

In this episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, Benoy Thanjan joins Peter Pongracz of Soliverse for a wide-ranging conversation about how the global solar market is changing. They discuss why early-stage development capital has become more difficult to secure, why investors increasingly prefer later-stage and lower-risk projects, and why solar-plus-storage is becoming the new standard in many markets. Benoy and Peter also examine the growing importance of community relationships, energy independence, repowering, solar-panel recycling, and innovation as the United States and Europe compete with China's scale and long-term energy strategy. A central theme throughout the episode is that solar technology itself is relatively simple, but developing, financing, interconnecting, and delivering projects has become increasingly complex.

Georgia is the second-largest data center market in the country, and its grid is straining under load growth no one predicted five years ago. Michael Chanin, CEO of Cherry Street Energy, joins Tim to break down how behind-the-meter solar and storage are stepping in, why utilities need private capital to keep rates in check, and what a multi-gigawatt data center outside Savannah means for the region. Tim sits down with Michael Chanin, CEO of Cherry Street Energy, a vertically integrated power company based in Georgia that develops, owns, and operates behind-the-meter solar and storage for commercial and industrial customers across the Southeast.Georgia repealed its ban on third-party solar ownership in 2015, opening the door for "Solar Energy Procurement Agreements" (Georgia's version of a PPA). Since then, Cherry Street has built a customer base that includes Delta Air Lines, Porsche Cars North America, Gulfstream, and the City of Atlanta, offering no-cost, no-upfront-investment solar that cuts customers' energy bills and carbon footprint.Chanin and Tim dig into what is driving unprecedented load growth in Georgia: the state is now the second-largest data center market in the US after Virginia, and OpenAI recently announced its "Project Camellia" data center campus near Savannah in Effingham County, a $20 billion, 3.2-gigawatt (3,200 MW) project built in partnership with Georgia Power. On the recording, Chanin describes the project as a joint Anthropic/OpenAI announcement and cites 4,000 megawatts of capacity; public reporting on this specific project ties it to OpenAI at roughly 3,200 MW, so that detail is worth a quick check with Chanin or Cherry Street before publishing. Other topics covered:How Cherry Street's economics pencil out: average customer electricity cost of 10-12 cents/kWh, build costs under $1.50/watt, and how real-time pricing has made solar competitive even against historically cheap fossil generationCherry Street's solar-plus-storage pilot with Georgia Power and the emerging value stack for behind-the-meter batteries (capacity payments, energy payments, demand management)Georgia's Public Service Commission, including Chair Jason Shaw and newly elected Democratic commissioners Alicia Johnson and Peter HubbardCherry Street's vertically integrated delivery model: in-house engineers, general contractors, and site supervisors that take a project from signed contract to energized system in under 100 daysCherry Street Energy shows what happens when a state removes one legal barrier and lets the market do the rest. Georgia's 2015 shift on third-party ownership opened the door. Rising load growth from data centers and electrification is now forcing utilities, regulators, and private developers to work together on a scale nobody planned for a few years ago. Chanin's take is clear: solar and storage are not a side story in Georgia's power future. They are becoming part of how the state keeps the lights on and the bills manageable. Listen to the full conversation for the details on Cherry Street's build process, its storage pilot with Georgia Power, and what EPCs and developers should know before entering the Southeast market.

Think Oregon is all about Pinot Noir? Think again. In this episode I'm joined by Samantha Cole-Johnson, Senior US Editor at JancisRobinson.com and the Master of Wine student who achieved the highest mark in the world in Stage One of the notoriously challenging MW programme, to uncover the side of Oregon that most people never discover. From cross-border wine regions that ignore state lines to savoury Syrah grown on basalt cobblestones, richer styles of Pinot Gris and a brand-new sparkling wine movement, this episode will completely change the way you think about Oregon. Along the way, we also discuss what the future of wine might look like - and why the biggest challenge facing the wine industry may have nothing to do with wine itself. You'll discover why the Rocks District produces some of America's most distinctive Syrah, why Oregon's Pinot Gris deserves far more attention, how Method Oregon is putting the state's sparkling wines on the map, and the producers and wine regions that should be firmly on your travel wishlist. So, if you're ready to look beyond Pinot Noir, pour yourself a glass, sit back, and enjoy this episode. Shownotes 03:05 – Learning how to communicate wine — how Samantha's experience in cellars, formal study and wine journalism shaped the way she tastes, writes and speaks about wine today. 05:54 – Do state lines matter in wine? — why geographical boundaries rarely determine wine style, but can have important legal and commercial consequences for producers. 06:53 – Understanding the Columbia Gorge — how rainfall and temperature change dramatically from west to east across this cross-border Oregon and Washington AVA. 08:36 – Visiting the Columbia Gorge — why Portland makes an ideal starting point for exploring its wineries, cycling trails, breweries and famous windsurfing. 09:26 – Inside the Rocks District — what makes this tiny Oregon AVA's basalt cobblestones and distinctive soils unlike almost anywhere else in the United States. 10:40 – The unmistakable Rocks District flavour — how low acidity, heat and saline soils can create Syrah with savoury, ferrous, rosemary and cured-meat characters. 11:22 – Why Grenache is thriving — the grape varieties performing particularly well in the Rocks District's hot, dry and intensely sunny conditions. 13:41 – The problem with Rocks District labelling — why many wines grown inside the AVA must legally be labelled as Walla Walla when they are made across the border in Washington. For a deeper dive into Washington State wine, listen to Episode 271 with Chris Stone and Avril Mooney from the Washington State Wine Commission. 15:37 – Cayuse Vineyards and Christophe Baron — why one of the Rocks District's most celebrated producers chooses not to place the AVA name on his labels. 17:49 – Christophe Baron and Cayuse — why one of the Rocks District's pioneering winemakers chooses not to feature the AVA name on his labels. 18:44 – How to identify wines from the Rocks — why a Walla Walla label does not guarantee Rocks District fruit and what wine lovers should investigate before buying. Producer to look out for who trained with Christophe Baron - Matt Reynvaan of Reynvaan Family Vineyards 20:40 – Oregon beyond the Willamette Valley — exploring the smaller wine regions and cross-border AVAs that exist beyond the state's best-known centre of production. 21:25 – Why small producers rarely reach export markets — how direct-to-consumer sales in cities such as Seattle and Boise can leave little incentive for wineries to export. 23:23 – Oregon's artisanal wine culture — how the state developed around small-scale wineries, hands-on farming and producers working with limited resources. 25:32 – Is Oregon wine becoming more commercial? — how new investment, vineyard management companies and larger businesses are changing the region's traditional identity. 27:23 – Why American wine can be expensive — the impact of land prices, debt, staffing, healthcare, investors and corporate structures on the final cost of a bottle. 30:29 – Looking beyond the romance of winemaking — the economic reality behind owning vineyards, employing staff and running a sustainable family wine business. 31:18 – The authentic small-winery experience — why visiting working producers may involve muddy cellars, vineyard trucks and less glamour, but far greater access to the people behind the wine. 34:53 – Small wineries versus large production — why Oregon still has far more small producers, even as a growing proportion of its wine is made by larger companies. 35:49 – Oregon beyond Pinot Noir — discovering Tempranillo, Bordeaux varieties, Gamay, Chardonnay and the diversity emerging across the state. 38:46 – Pinot Gris or Pinot Grigio? — why Oregon producers use both names and how the label can indicate whether a wine is inspired by Alsace or northern Italy. 39:41 – The classic Oregon Pinot Gris style — fresh, mineral and fruit-driven wines from producers such as King Estate and Sokol Blosser. 40:09 – A richer side of Oregon Pinot Gris — Ridgecrest, The Eyrie and Antiquum Farm demonstrate how old vines, skin contact and oak can create more textured, age-worthy wines. 42:25 – Comparing Alsace and northern Italy — the differences between richer, more powerful Alsace Pinot Gris and the fresher, leaner styles commonly associated with Italian Pinot Grigio. 43:46 – What matters most for Oregon Pinot Gris — why old vines, warmer vineyard sites and individual producers may be more important than any particular AVA. 44:38 – Introducing Method Oregon — the new initiative establishing rules for traditional-method sparkling wine made entirely from sustainably grown Oregon fruit. 46:08 – How Oregon sparkling wine is made — the specialist services helping still-wine producers manage secondary fermentation, riddling and disgorgement. 47:55 – Oregon's leading sparkling wine producers — the history of Argyle and Soter, and the new vineyards being planted specifically for traditional-method sparkling wine. 49:44 – Developments shaping the future of wine — lower-alcohol fermentation, de-alcoholised wine, growing demand for white and sparkling styles and greater interest in environmental certification. 51:00 – Is declining socialisation hurting wine? — Samantha's theory that remote working, screen time and fewer shared meals may be more important than generational drinking trends. 52:23 – Wine as a social experience — why encouraging people to gather, connect and spend longer around the table could be essential to the future of the wine industry. 54:04 – Barbecue wine recommendations — Samantha recommends Bedrock Wine Co. for outstanding Zinfandel, alongside lighter chillable reds for relaxed outdoor gatherings. 55:23 – Pairing wine with hand-holding — why Samantha chooses a lower-alcohol Txakoli rosé for an experience that has nothing to do with food.

In dieser spontanen Folge haben wir Dr. Michael Müller-Wünsch (MüWü), den Technologie-Vorstand der Marke Otto, bei uns zu Gast. Während viele Unternehmen beim Thema Künstliche Intelligenz noch in strategischen Grundsatzdiskussionen feststecken oder aus Unsicherheit abwarten, plädiert MüWü für einen pragmatischen Ansatz: Willkommen im #Makerland. Es geht darum, aus der reinen Beobachterrolle herauszutreten und den technologischen Wandel wieder aktiv und mutig zu gestalten.Wir sprechen in dieser Folge darüber, warum klassische Zehnjahrespläne in der aktuellen KI-Dynamik völlig obsolet sind. MüWü erklärt, wie sich stattdessen mit fokussierten 90-Tage-Sprints echte Use Cases validieren lassen als risikoarme Entscheidungen, die jederzeit korrigiert werden können. Ein weiteres zentrales Thema unserer Diskussion ist die digitale Souveränität. Mit dem treffenden Bild des „digitalen Suezkanals“ beleuchten wir die Gefahr von einseitigen Abhängigkeiten und plötzlichen Service-Ausfällen durch große US-Anbieter. Wir diskutieren, warum ein zeitgemäßes Risikomanagement heute zwingend lokale Infrastrukturen, europäische Optionen und Multi-Cloud-Strategien erfordert.Darüber hinaus werfen wir einen kritischen Blick auf unseren alltäglichen Umgang mit Informationen. In einer Zeit, in der global jede Sekunde 60.000 Fotos entstehen, ersticken wir zunehmend an unreflektiertem Datenmüll. Wir beleuchten, wie smarte, lokale KI-Agenten künftig beim digitalen Aufräumen helfen müssen und warum in einer Ära immer perfekterer Deepfakes die nachweisbare „Echtheit“ von Informationen zur wertvollsten Währung für Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft wird. Eine Episode über technologische Eigenständigkeit, den Aufbau echter KI-Datenkompetenz und den Mut, einfach mal zu machen.

The specialized support provided through the Filon initiative comes amid broader efforts by the Governments of Québec and Canada to improve the efficiency, clarity and predictability of regulatory processes for major projects through a dedicated team of mining specialists, the specialized support facilitates communication between project proponents and the government ministries and agencies responsible for issuing permits and authorizations, while maintaining Québec's rigorous environmental review framework. Wrapping up we discussed the ongoing 40,000 meter drill program that has been focused on near-mine resource growth, high-grade target definition, and regional exploration across its 435 km² land package. Drilling is progressing on a combination of mine-plan optimization targets and previously identified regional opportunities.

The timing points to 2029-2030, matching the expiry of VW's production deal with Ford, and talks with Ford about the next generation's underpinnings are still ongoing.MG GO! PREVIEWS SMALL EV FOR 2027MG has unveiled the GO! concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a roughly four-metre B-segment electric hatchback designed at SAIC's U.K. studio that borrows MGB GT grille lines and vertical taillamp elements, with production due in 2027 and possibly badged MG 2. MG admits the show car is a "dressed up" version that will lose its bulging fenders, oversized wheels, tow hooks and diffuser, and while technical details are unconfirmed, industry coverage points to MG's front-drive E3/Urban architecture with modest LFP batteries to rival the Renault 5 E-Tech and Mini Cooper Electric.TESLA OPENS FIRST PUBLIC SEMI MEGACHARGERTesla has opened its first public Megacharger station for Semi fleets in Bloomington, California, about an hour east of Los Angeles, with six stalls each capable of up to 1.2 MW and access for all Tesla Semi commercial fleet customers. The launch was confirmed by Tesla Charging on X and marked with a ribbon-cutting attended by trucking, fleet and charging figures, with the San Bernardino County site chosen for its position on the freight corridor linking the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to Southern California's warehouse network.USED EVS OUTPACE PETROL CARS IN BRITAINSteep fuel prices have driven a surge in British used-EV demand, with Autotrader's July fastest-selling ranking filled entirely by electrified models for the first time — eight of them fully electric, double last year's tally — led by the MG ZS at 13 days against a 24-day average for used EVs and 30 days across all fuel types. Average used-EV prices rose 1.6% year-on-year to £24,662 ($33,225), the first increase since December 2022, and Autotrader's Marc Palmer says that unlike past Middle East-driven spikes tied to events such as the US-Israeli war on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz closure, this demand has been sustained while the ten slowest sellers were all petrol or diesel.LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS LEAD GERMAN EV SUBSIDY APPROVALSHandelsblatt reports that 48% of approvals under Germany's new EV subsidy scheme have gone to households with taxable income up to €45,000 ($51,300), according to data from a parliamentary inquiry by Left Party lawmaker Jorrit Bosch, with lower-income buyers eligible for up to €6,000 ($6,840) on new BEVs, range-extenders and select plug-in hybrids depending on vehicle type, income and family size. The programme launched in January to replace the flat-rate scheme scrapped abruptly in late 2023, and environment ministry figures show foreign manufacturers took most of the support, with only two of the 14 most-subsidised brands being German as Germany's EV fleet passed 2.2 million by early April 2026.SUBARU CUTS 2027 SOLTERRA PRICE IN CANADASubaru Canada has cut the 2027 Solterra's starting MSRP to $47,995, $4,500 below the 2026 model and just under the country's $50,000 EVAP threshold, which restores its eligibility for the federal rebate worth up to $5,000. Subaru quotes an effective starting figure of $46,727 with delivery, dealer fees and the rebate included, against $55,285 for the current 2026 car, with the updated model due at Canadian dealerships later this year.CANADA CLEARS 6,531 CHINA-MADE EV IMPORTSCanada had imported 6,531 China-made EVs by July 14, leaving roughly 75% of the 24,500-vehicle first-half quota unused, with arrivals starting in May and building through June and July but falling well short of the allowance. Ottawa will keep the current quota open through August before adding a further 24,500 vehicles plus any unused first-half volume for September through February 2027; Global Affairs Canada does not break the figures down by brand, but Shanghai-built Tesla Model 3s are presumed to dominate, Lotus has accounted for nearly two dozen and Polestar is expected to resume Polestar 2 imports in August.DONGFENG MOVES INTO CANADIAN EV MARKETDongfeng plans to enter Canada's EV market under the low-tariff quota created by Mark Carney's deal with China earlier this year, showing the Vigo and Nammi Box 01 to buyers at an Old Port event in Montreal this week while it completes regulatory certification. North World Industry will handle distribution, and the company is starting with consumer awareness before sales, aiming to launch its first two models next year.KIA PITCHES SMALL EV VAN FOR CANADIAN FLEETSKia Canada has pitched the PV5 as a compact electric cargo van for small businesses and urban fleets, offering about 160 cubic feet of cargo volume and targeting tradespeople, last-mile delivery firms and telecom operators that do not need a full-size vehicle. The real test may be size rather than range or price, given GM pulled its Ontario-built BrightDrop vans — offering 400 or 600 cubic feet — from the market last fall after weak sales, while Kia calls the smaller PV5 an answer to an "unmet need".GEELY SETS E2 PRICE BELOW €20,000 IN ITALYGeely will launch the E2 small electric hatchback in Italy in October at a promotional €19,900, undercutting the Citroen e-C3 at €20,490 and sitting just above the BYD Dolphin Surf at €19,790; the same car is sold as the EX2 in the U.K. and the Xingyuan in China, where it was last year's best-selling model with 160,800 wholesale deliveries in the first five months of this year. In Europe's small-EV class the Renault 5 E-Tech leads with 36,575 sales, up 35%, ahead of the e-C3 on 17,859 (down 11%), the Dolphin Surf on 15,072 and the Peugeot e-208 on 10,546, up 23%.HOYMILES LAUNCHES UL 3700 BALCONY SOLAR INVERTERHoymiles has launched the HiFlow Pro, which it says is the first US microinverter certified under UL 3700, the new safety standard for plug-in balcony solar, a model already popular in Europe — especially Germany — that lets homeowners and renters run portable panels through a standard outlet instead of a rooftop install. Eight states had signed plug-in solar bills into law as of July 2026 — Utah, Maine, Virginia, Maryland, Colorado, Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire — with New York's awaiting the governor's signature as of July 16 and nearly 30 states having introduced legislation, while safeguards must prevent the reversed power flow from feeding the grid during outages; a single 360W unit produces up to 721.08 kWh a year and up to four can run in parallel across separate outlets.RUSSIAN FUEL SHORTAGES PUSH DRIVERS TO EVSUkrainian strikes on energy targets have tightened Russian fuel supplies, bringing hours-long queues and rising gasoline and diesel prices that are pushing some motorists towards electric cars, including engineer Oksana Yasinskaya, 36, who told Automotive News the queues settled her decision to buy an EV and that she values not wasting hours on what she called a humiliating wait, with some drivers queuing late at night. Autostat says EV and plug-in hybrid sales accelerated in June as shortages worsened and expects the tiny market to grow if the crisis drags on, though it still leans on used cars rather than fresh showroom demand.

What if your home could cut electricity bills by 60%, survive weeks without the grid, and earn money while you sleep?Lunar Energy is building an integrated home energy system combining solar, batteries, load controls, and AI-powered software. Its GridShare platform already manages 650+ MW across 150,000 homes, including third-party hardware.Founder and CEO Kunal Girotra previously led Tesla Energy from 2015 to 2020, helping bring Powerwall into residential energy storage. He has since raised more than $230 million to build Lunar.Here's what we discussed:How to turn homes into distributed power plants — Why combining batteries, solar, controllable loads, and virtual power plants can lower bills, provide backup power, and create new grid revenue for homeowners.Why software matters more than battery hardware — How Lunar uses device-agnostic software to manage its own products and third-party equipment across 150,000 homes and 650+ MW of capacity.How AI can cut electricity costs by another 10–15% — Why localized, real-time optimization against changing import and export prices outperforms basic solar-plus-storage self-consumption.Why leasing is becoming the default for home batteries — How zero-down financing, tax-credit changes, and immediate monthly savings have pushed roughly 80% of Lunar customers toward leases.How to raise $230M for a climate hardware company — Why proving product-market fit, securing Sunrun as both an investor and distribution partner, and demonstrating resilience under adversity mattered more than ambitious promises.--1️⃣ Join our confidential CEO community.Private CEO group for VC/PE-backed climate tech founders navigating capital, strategy, and scale.

VOV1 - Với nhiều năm hoạt động trên biển, Tập đoàn Công nghiệp - Năng lượng Quốc gia Việt Nam (Petrovietnam) được đánh giá có lợi thế ở nhiều lĩnh vực như khảo sát, thiết kế, chế tạo kết cấu, lắp đặt, vận hành và bảo dưỡng các công trình ngoài khơi.Điện gió ngoài khơi đang bước vào giai đoạn phát triển mới, khi trọng tâm chính sách chuyển từ khuyến khích đầu tư sang lựa chọn những nhà đầu tư thực sự có năng lực. Nghị định số 272/2026/NĐ-CP của Chính phủ được kỳ vọng sẽ thiết lập "bộ lọc" cần thiết, bảo đảm khai thác hiệu quả tài nguyên biển, đồng thời tạo nền tảng cho sự hình thành ngành công nghiệp điện gió ngoài khơi hiện đại và bền vững. Theo Quy hoạch điện VIII điều chỉnh, điện gió ngoài khơi được xác định là một trong những trụ cột của quá trình chuyển dịch năng lượng, góp phần bảo đảm an ninh năng lượng quốc gia và hiện thực hóa mục tiêu phát thải ròng bằng "0" vào năm 2050. Việt Nam đặt mục tiêu phát triển khoảng 17.000 MW điện gió ngoài khơi vào năm 2035. Không chỉ tạo nguồn điện sạch, lĩnh vực này còn mở ra dư địa phát triển cho các ngành công nghiệp hỗ trợ như cơ khí chế tạo, đóng tàu, logistics, dịch vụ cảng biển; thúc đẩy kinh tế biển, tạo việc làm cho người dân ven biển và góp phần bảo vệ chủ quyền biển đảo của Tổ quốc.Tuy nhiên, khác với điện mặt trời hay điện gió trên bờ, điện gió ngoài khơi là lĩnh vực có quy mô đầu tư rất lớn, yêu cầu công nghệ hiện đại, thời gian chuẩn bị kéo dài và mức độ rủi ro cao. Chính vì vậy, lựa chọn đúng nhà đầu tư ngay từ đầu được xem là điều kiện tiên quyết để bảo đảm khai thác hiệu quả tài nguyên biển.Nếu thiếu cơ chế sàng lọc phù hợp, nguy cơ xuất hiện các dự án chậm tiến độ, kém hiệu quả hoặc doanh nghiệp đăng ký chỉ nhằm "giữ chỗ" sẽ ảnh hưởng trực tiếp đến quá trình phát triển của ngành cũng như việc thực hiện các mục tiêu trong Quy hoạch điện VIII điều chỉnh.Trong bối cảnh đó, việc Chính phủ ban hành Nghị định số 272/2026/NĐ-CP đánh dấu bước chuyển quan trọng trong tư duy quản lý, từ khuyến khích đầu tư sang lựa chọn những nhà đầu tư thực sự có năng lực tài chính, công nghệ và kinh nghiệm để triển khai các dự án điện gió ngoài khơi quy mô lớn.Theo quy định, tổ chức đề nghị được giao khu vực biển để khảo sát phải có vốn chủ sở hữu tối thiểu tương ứng 1 tỷ đồng cho mỗi MW công suất đăng ký khảo sát; trường hợp đăng ký nhiều dự án, yêu cầu về vốn được tính trên tổng quy mô công suất. Quy định này cho thấy cơ chế quản lý không còn dừng ở việc xem xét hồ sơ đăng ký mà chuyển sang đánh giá năng lực thực chất của nhà đầu tư ngay từ giai đoạn khảo sát.Việc sàng lọc nhà đầu tư ngay từ đầu là yêu cầu tất yếu đối với điện gió ngoài khơi.

Join Elevated GP: theelevatedgp.com Dental Digest Podcast | Episode 189: Mastering Dental Light Curing and Polymerization Host: Dr. Melissa Seibert Guest: Dr. Richard Price (Dentist, PhD, clinical scientist, and professor at Dalhousie University) Episode Overview In this episode, Dr. Melissa Seibert sits down with leading authority Dr. Richard Price to clear up the most common mistakes dental professionals make when light curing . From the truth about warming composites to the physics of energy delivery and the emerging realities of laser curing tech, this episode is a deep dive into evidence-based protocols that directly impact the longevity of your daily restorations . Key Discussion Points 1. Avoid the #1 Light Curing Mistake Follow the Minimums: The most common mistake in clinical practice is not curing for the manufacturer's recommended time . Read the Instructions: Always check instructions for both your specific bonding agent and the composite resin you are using . Minimum vs. Maximum: Remember that the manufacturer-recommended times are the absolute minimum requirements, not the maximums . 2. The Truth About Warming Composite Adaptation, Not Curing: Dr. Price is a major advocate for warming composite because it significantly improves material adaptation, leading to fewer voids and gaps . No Mechanical Upgrades: Warming composite does not actually drive the polymerization reaction further or improve final mechanical properties . Rapid Heat Loss: Because composite is a poor thermal conductor, it loses its heat incredibly fast . By the time a dentist squirts, inserts, and sculpts the material, it has already cooled down to mouth temperature, neutralizing any curing benefits . Pulpal Safety: Studies show that while warming composite itself does not cause pulpal damage, using curing lights that deliver heavy red and infrared light can produce the greatest temperature rises in the pulp . A temperature increase of 5°C to 6°C can lead to pulp necrosis . 3. Managing Deep 6mm Restorations The Bulk Fill Strategy: For a deep gingival floor (e.g., 6mm deep), Dr. Price recommends placing a 4mm layer of bulk fill composite as the first increment . Translucency Trade-offs: Bulk fill materials allow more light to pass through due to higher translucency, though this can sometimes make the restoration look gray in the mouth . The Hybrid Layering Technique: To achieve both an assured deep cure and optimal aesthetics, place a 4mm bulk fill base followed by a 2mm layer of conventional aesthetic composite on top . Shade Variations: Be aware that dentin or darker shades (like A6B) often require twice the curing time (e.g., 20 seconds vs. 10 seconds) and must be placed in thinner increments (e.g., 1.5mm vs. 2mm) compared to enamel and body shades . 4. The Math of Curing: Total Energy Formula Energy Calculation: Total energy is calculated by multiplying the curing light's irradiance by the exposure time ($text{Energy} = text{Irradiance} times text{Time}$) . Joules Matter: If a manufacturer requires 10 Joules per centimeter squared ($text{J/cm}^2$), a standard curing light emitting $1,000 text{ mW/cm}^2$ requires a 10-second cure . High-Intensity Traps: To deliver that same energy in a abbreviated 3-second cure, a light must output at least $3,333 text{ mW/cm}^2$ . Most conventional curing lights max out around $3,000 text{ mW/cm}^2$ . Advanced Technology & Safety Concerns Laser Curing Lights Distance Resistant: Laser curing lights are highly effective over long distances and are relatively unaffected by the physical gap between the tip and the tooth . Pinpoint Limitations: The main downside to current laser technology is the narrow, pinpoint beam profile; it offers high irradiance at the dead center but fails to provide a broad, uniform cure across the edges of a restoration . Extreme Optical Hazard: If a laser light accidentally flashes into an operator's, assistant's, or patient's eyes, it can cause immediate, permanent blindness . Strict eye protection is mandatory . The Blue Light Hazard Photo Retinitis: While it is unproven if dental LED lights directly cause macular degeneration, they are highly documented to cause photo retinitis, which presents as lingering "after-images" or spots in your vision . Sleep Disruption: Exposure to intense blue light is proven to severely disrupt human circadian rhythms and sleep patterns . Protection Necessary: Dentists must actively protect their eyes by using orange shields or specialized protective glasses rather than looking away blindly . Dr. Price's Step-by-Step Clinical Curing Protocol Initial Hover: Start the curing cycle 2 to 3 mm away from the tooth for the first 1 to 2 seconds . This quickly hardens the top layer and protects your sculpted anatomy from being disturbed . Close Contact: Bring the curing light tip in as close as possible, making direct contact with the surface . Finger Stabilization: Use a two-handed technique, utilizing your fingers over the restoration to physically stabilize the curing tip so it cannot drift if the patient moves . Thermal Breaks: High-power lights generate intense heat . If using a powerful light for a mandatory 20-second cure, break it up (e.g., 10 seconds on, a brief pause, then 10 seconds on) to protect the tissue . Cooling Air: Blow a stream of air across the tooth between curing increments to actively mitigate heat buildup . Never use water, as unpolymerized composite is highly hydrophobic . Multi-Angle Curing: Once the matrix band is removed on a Class II restoration, always cure again from both the buccal and lingual aspects to eliminate shadows cast by prep walls or remaining matrices . Overlapping Exposures: Standard light tips should be at least 10mm in diameter . If a restoration is wider than your light tip, perform multiple overlapping exposures to ensure the peripheral margins are fully cured .
VOV1 - Hàng nghìn tài liệu được cho là liên quan đến Nhà máy điện hạt nhân lớn nhất Ấn Độ Kudankulam vừa bị nhóm mã độc tống tiền World Leaks phát tán trên mạng, làm dấy lên lo ngại về an ninh mạng đối với cơ sở hạ tầng trọng yếu của nước này.Theo truyền thông Ấn Độ, nhóm World Leaks đã công bố gần 19.000 tệp dữ liệu với tổng dung lượng khoảng 14,3 GB, nằm trong hơn 858.000 tệp được cho là đánh cắp từ Tập đoàn Reliance - một trong những nhà thầu tham gia xây dựng các tổ máy số 3 và 4 của Nhà máy điện hạt nhân Kudankulam tại bang Tamil Nadu. Dữ liệu bị phát tán được phát hiện xuất hiện trên mạng từ ngày 11/6.Các tệp được cho là bao gồm bản vẽ hệ thống thông gió và làm mát, sơ đồ phòng điều khiển chung, danh sách nhà cung cấp, hồ sơ họp và kiểm tra kỹ thuật, đánh giá thiết bị cùng các hợp đồng bảo hiểm từ năm 2016 đến giữa năm 2025. Tuy nhiên, các tài liệu không liên quan đến hệ thống lõi lò phản ứng do Tập đoàn Rosatom của Nga cung cấp.Tập đoàn Reliance xác nhận đã xảy ra một vụ “xâm nhập dữ liệu một phần” trên máy chủ do trung tâm dữ liệu Yotta vận hành và cho biết đã thông báo vụ việc tới Chính phủ Ấn Độ, song không tiết lộ cụ thể dữ liệu nào bị đánh cắp. Theo trung tâm Yotta, hệ thống đã phát hiện hoạt động đáng ngờ trên máy chủ từ ngày 29/5 và kịp thời ngăn chặn việc thực thi mã độc. Tuy nhiên, đến cuối tháng 6, Reliance mới thông báo rằng các đối tượng bên ngoài tuyên bố đã đánh cắp dữ liệu. Hiện Yotta vẫn chưa thể xác minh các tuyên bố này và đang phối hợp điều tra.Một số nguồn tin cho biết, hiện Tập đoàn Điện hạt nhân Ấn Độ (NPCIL) đã làm việc với Tập đoàn Reliance và Đội ứng cứu khẩn cấp máy tính Ấn Độ (CERT-In) để điều tra nguyên nhân cũng như đánh giá mức độ ảnh hưởng.Nhà máy điện hạt nhân Kudankulam hiện là cơ sở điện hạt nhân lớn nhất trong bảy nhà máy điện hạt nhân của Ấn Độ, với công suất thiết kế 6.000 MW và giữ vai trò then chốt trong kế hoạch mở rộng năng lượng hạt nhân của Chính phủ Ấn Độ. Hai tổ máy số 3 và số 4, do Tập đoàn Reliance tham gia xây dựng, dự kiến đi vào vận hành trong năm 2027 với tổng công suất 2.000 MW.Đây là lần thứ hai Kudankulam liên quan đến một sự cố an ninh mạng. Năm 2019, phần mềm độc hại có liên quan đến một nhóm tin tặc từng được phát hiện trên mạng hành chính của nhà máy, song các hệ thống vận hành và an toàn hạt nhân sau đó được cho là không bị ảnh hưởng./.

The author gives a cautious but optimistic ‘yes,' particularly highlighting advantages for home defense scenarios while acknowledging practical limitations. The piece discusses benefits like hearing protection for the shooter and reduced disturbance to bystanders or family members, alongside typical drawbacks such as added size, weight, and legal/regulatory requirements. THE TRUTH ABOUT GUNS Can You Shoot 5.56 Through a .22 Suppressor? – The Truth About Guns Can you shoot 5.56 through a .22 suppressor? Usually no. Here's why pressure, heat, and gas volume matter so much. The article addresses whether .556/.223 ammunition can be safely fired through a standard .22LR (rimfire) suppressor. In the general case, it is not safe or recommended. Most dedicated rimfire suppressors are engineered only for the much lower pressures, smaller gas volumes, and reduced heat produced by .22LR, .22WMR, or similar rimfire cartridges.

AI is no longer simply another fast-growing demand segment for the data center industry. It has become the “organizing principle” around which development strategy, infrastructure design and market selection are increasingly structured. On this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, DCF Editor in Chief Matt Vincent speaks with Colby Cox, Managing Director for the Americas at DC Byte, about the forces determining where the next generation of AI infrastructure can actually get built. According to Cox, the market is no longer constrained primarily by demand or access to capital. The decisive constraint is executable power: whether capacity has truly been secured, when it can be energized, and whether the grid or an onsite generation strategy can support the intended phases of development. That gap between announced and deployable capacity is becoming increasingly visible in DC Byte's data. Cox says the firm has recorded a roughly 20% increase in projects remaining in the committed or early-stage categories, with power availability responsible for much of the delay. At the same time, the scale of AI development continues to expand. At the beginning of 2023, DC Byte tracked three committed projects of at least 900 MW. Today, it tracks 17, along with 49 additional projects of that size in early-stage development. Fifteen of those early-stage projects exceed 2 GW, with several approaching 10 GW. Inside the data hall, rack-density assumptions are changing just as quickly. Designs are moving from traditional averages near 6 kW per rack toward serious planning around 100-kW racks, with some AI environments pushing beyond 300 kW. That shift affects nearly every layer of the facility, including electrical distribution, busway, breaker coordination, floor loading, mechanical plant design, piping, commissioning and heat rejection. Liquid cooling is consequently becoming a primary design system rather than a future retrofit. Cox also examines the emerging geography of AI infrastructure. Development is spreading beyond established markets toward locations where power, policy and community support can be aligned. Texas activity is extending beyond Dallas-Fort Worth into markets including Pecos and Abilene, while Louisiana has moved from roughly 9 MW of data center capacity several years ago to a pipeline measured in gigawatts. Indiana, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and outer portions of the Atlanta market are also attracting attention. But power is not the only variable redrawing the map. Local resistance, permitting risk and community trust are now material elements of project underwriting. As Cox puts it, the AI campus map is being redrawn “by power first and politics second.” The conversation concludes with a look at behind-the-meter generation. Although most data center operators would prefer not to become power companies, onsite systems—particularly those built around natural gas—are becoming necessary in some markets as either a bridge to utility service or a longer-term solution. Listen to the full episode for a data-driven examination of power availability, gigawatt-scale development, rack density, emerging markets and the new execution realities shaping the AI data center sector.
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the WTR Small-Cap Spotlight Podcast, Jolienne Halisky, CFO of AIB Data Centers Inc. (NYSE American: AIB), joins host Tim Gerdeman and WTR equity research analyst James Kisner. AIB is a power-first developer of AI and high-performance computing infrastructure. The company locks up executed utility power agreements before it breaks ground, then builds modular, liquid-cooled facilities that tenants lease and fill with their own GPUs. Halisky explains why power, not chips, is the real bottleneck in AI infrastructure, and how securing it first lets customers deploy compute months or years sooner. She covers the recent name change from BlockchAIn Digital Infrastructure, the shift from Bitcoin hosting to AI workloads, and how the build-to-suit model keeps hardware obsolescence off the balance sheet. Halisky also walks through the roughly 40 MW live today, a pipeline approaching 395 MW, the debt-free capital strategy, and the milestones investors should watch.

SMP 290 Key Takeaways 1. Community solar depends on stable markets Noelle explains that Aspen Power is focused on community solar markets with stable and predictable programs. New York and Illinois are especially important because their community solar frameworks give developers more certainty around project economics, awards, timelines, and offtake. 2. Project development is about execution A major theme of the episode is execution. From development milestones to permitting, finance, interconnection, landowner communication, and preconstruction, getting projects across the finish line requires coordination across many different teams. 3. Policy changes are forcing companies to adapt The conversation explores how changes to the investment tax credit, safe harboring, equipment requirements, and broader political uncertainty are forcing solar companies to rethink project design, timelines, and market strategy. 4. Storage is becoming increasingly important Noelle discusses how Aspen Power is evaluating storage opportunities, including solar-plus-storage and standalone storage. As the market changes, more companies are looking at batteries as a way to diversify, strengthen project economics, and maximize existing assets. 5. Leadership means serving your team Noelle shares her approach to management, including the idea that her team does not work for her, but that she works for them. She emphasizes listening, understanding how people learn and operate, and creating a culture where team members can grow and succeed. 6. Women's networks are essential in renewable energy The episode highlights Solar Sisters, a growing community of women in solar and renewable energy. Noelle discusses the importance of peer support, mentorship, and creating spaces where women can share experiences, challenges, wins, and opportunities. 7. Diversity requires intentional action Noelle explains that hiring and leadership require more than good intentions. Companies need to be intentional about broadening candidate pools, creating access, and making sure more people have the opportunity to become “the best person for the job.” Memorable Quotes “People don't work for me. I work for them.” “Learn it once, touch it once, do it once.” “Community solar is great for those of us who are trying to get a bunch of things done at once.” “You can build a great project and have all your permits, but if you don't know where you're selling your energy, there's a big problem.” “Your network is everything, and it's not just who you know, it's who knows you.” “Go get some shit done, or get out of the way.”

Market dynamics in data center buildouts and dealmaking are complex, but there are some common threads that are spanning the globe. Analysts Soon Chen Kang and Stefanie Williams join host Eric Hanselman to explore their research in the Asia Pacific market. AI demand is a driving force and concerns about power availability can be a headwind, but there are regional nuances that make the markets that comprise the APAC region unique. One treats the market as a cohesive whole at one's peril! Geopolitical concerns have a significant impact on both demand forces and capacity uptake. Access to GPU's to feed AI applications takes on new dimensions in a market where technology embargoes are moving workloads. Neoclouds are a new market provider and driving new builds, as well. The boom days of speculative building have tapered off, in many cases, due to the availability of power, but that doesn't mean activity is slowing. Activity is shifting to find available capacity, but a common challenge in some of these early markets is the lack of transparency on both power deals and the build and financing processes.

CATL unveiled its TENER Sodium energy storage system at Intersolar Europe in Munich, rated for 15,000 cycles to 70 percent state of health at room temperature. CATL frames that as a 25 to 30 year service life, and it takes only 34 modules to stand up a one gigawatt-hour site. That single specification changes how commercial storage professionals price, propose, and finance battery projects. Tim Montague and John Weaver dig into what it means, alongside Illinois growing from about 80 megawatts of solar a decade ago to over 6,000 megawatts today under the new CRGA law, SunBallast ballasted racking and what module stacking tells you about install labor, UK bids for 16 and 18 hour long-duration storage, perovskite modules reaching the residential market, El Niño shifting solar output across the US, and silver falling more than 50 percent from its 2026 peak.Episode HighlightsCATL sodium ion battery, 15,000 cycles: CATL launched its TENER Sodium system at Intersolar Europe in Munich. It is rated for 15,000 cycles to 70 percent state of health at 25 degrees C, which CATL frames as a 25 to 30 year service life, and just 34 modules build a 1 GWh site. (Energy Storage News)Sodium ion safety advantage: CATL claims its sodium cells cut expansion force by roughly 40 percent, generate about 35 percent less gas during thermal runaway, and hold peak surface temperatures far below comparable lithium ion. The fire and thermal-runaway story is a big part of why C&I buyers are paying attention to sodium. (Interesting Engineering)Sodium ion in the fast-response role: John flagged a detail from a CATL hybrid storage proposal where sodium was specified for the faster-response duty and lithium for the slower role. Worth keeping in context. This is one proposal's configuration, not a blanket claim that sodium beats lithium on response everywhere.GM and Peak Energy sodium ion partnership: General Motors is moving into stationary storage with Peak Energy, backed by a strategic investment from GM Ventures. GM will develop the sodium ion cell in its Michigan battery lab and keep exclusive manufacturing rights, while Peak integrates the cell into its passively cooled storage systems. Peak energized the first U.S. grid-scale sodium-ion system, 3.5 MWh, in Watkins, Colorado, in 2025. (Inside Climate News)Illinois energy transition, 80 MW to 6 GW: Tim attended a Nexamp event at the company's Chicago office, where IPA director Brian Granahan reported Illinois has grown from about 80 megawatts of solar a decade ago to over 6,000 megawatts energized today, with roughly 14.5 gigawatts of wind and solar developed under the state RPS (13 GW to date plus about 1.5 GW just approved). The engine is CRGA, the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (SB 25, pronounced "Surge"), which runs its first utility-scale storage procurement in August, the opening tranche toward 3 GW by 2030 via additional 2027 and 2028 rounds. Residential VPP enrollment opens in mid-July, with ComEd and Ameren customers able to put home batteries into a short-term scheduled-dispatch pilot this summer. (PV Magazine)SunBallast racking and install labor: The hosts walk through SunBallast ballasted, no-penetration racking and get into the labor economics of module mounting, including what the way different manufacturers stack modules for shipping tells you about handling time on the job site.UK long-duration storage bids at 16 and 18 hours: Fresh procurement results out of Scotland and England show projects awarded at 16 and 18 hours of duration. John notes it is the first time he has seen bids at that scale and ties it to Scotland's wind-heavy generation profile. (Blue Sky)Trina Solar perovskite module hits residential market: Trina landed its first commercial order for a perovskite-silicon tandem module, going into New Zealand's premium residential market. The record-setting module is 907 watts at 29.2 percent efficiency, certified by TUV SUD. (Perovskite Info)El Niño and solar irradiance shifts: John walks through regional solar output swings across the US and globally. Rajasthan, India, home to some of the world's largest solar plants, is projected to run about 15 percent above its seasonal average this season. (PV Magazine)Silver prices fall more than 50 percent: Silver has dropped from its late-January 2026 record near 121 dollars to the upper 50s, more than half off the peak, on a stronger dollar and a hawkish Fed. It matters for PV because silver paste is a real line item, and World Silver Survey data shows solar's silver demand down about 19 percent. (TheStreet)This episode is essential for commercial solar installers, battery storage developers, community solar professionals, and clean energy policy watchers. The sodium ion story has direct and immediate implications for how professionals structure storage proposals, financial models, and customer conversations. Illinois developers will also want Tim's firsthand account of the CRGA storage procurement and the residential VPP pilot going live this summer.

Utah Clean Energy climate scientist and energy analyst Logan Mitchell joins Molly Wood to explain how a deeply conservative state can still become a proving ground for clean energy—by focusing on affordability, reliability, and coalition-building. They dig into the rapid rise of next‑generation geothermal in Utah (including the DOE's FORGE project and private-sector follow‑on development), why geothermal could deliver clean firm power faster than new gas turbines or nuclear, and why this is one of the rare climate technologies with real bipartisan momentum.In this episode, we cover:Why Utah has become a surprising clean-energy leader (and why “business-friendly” permitting can accelerate deployment)How Utah Clean Energy works in practice: intervening in utility regulatory dockets, stress-testing long-term resource plans, and advocating for an affordable, reliable, clean power mixThe grid value proposition: geothermal as clean firm power that complements wind/solar—especially during “quiet, cold” post-storm stretches when both wind and solar can underperformA plain-English breakdown of key grid terms:Baseload: power that runs steadilyDispatchable: power you can ramp up/down when neededWhy geothermal may become more dispatchable (turn pumps off midday, produce more during high-price evening hours)Why Utah is the current hotspot:Public-private knowledge transfer from DOE's FORGE research site to nearby commercial projectsStreamlined, iterative permitting that reduces uncertainty for first-of-a-kind projectsStrong geothermal resources across Utah and the broader WestThe scale and speed: a first ~100 MW phase expected to come online quickly, with expansion potential that rivals the footprint of major fossil plants—plus transmission constraints as the near-term limiterThe politics: geothermal's appeal across the aisle—jobs, energy security, reliability, and domestic know-how—and why keeping it “above the partisan fray” mattersThe workforce bridge: geothermal as a near 1:1 skills match with oil & gas subsurface expertise—extracting heat instead of hydrocarbonsWhy this matters (big picture):Next‑gen geothermal offers a credible path to fast, scalable, cost-competitive clean firm power—potentially filling the reliability gap that makes high-renewables grids harder to manage, while staying politically durable in places where climate language alone doesn't land.Links:Utah Clean Energy: https://utahcleanenergy.org/Everybody in the Pool: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show: https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/2EsDhwQC2z Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Madelyn O'Farrell talks with Celadyne founder and CEO Gary Ong about how a new membrane material can unlock the full potential of electrochemistry for hydrogen, long-duration energy storage, and critical material separations. Gary shares his journey from PhD researcher to startup founder after big corporates passed on his invention, then explains how Celadyne's membrane dramatically reduces hydrogen crossover, boosting fuel-cell durability and cutting critical materials in electrolyzers. They dive into the grid-capacity crunch facing hyperscalers, why hydrogen plus electrolyzers and fuel cells makes sense at 50–100+ MW scale, and how salt-cavern storage enables multi-day and even week-long clean power from solar. Gary also unpacks the geopolitical race over hydrogen technology between the U.S. and China, the strategic role of hydrogen for defense and fuel logistics, and closes by arguing that the real constraint to building next-generation energy and AI infrastructure in the U.S. is workforce development and the shortage of skilled trades.
