Send me a messageCoal produces 4,000–8,000x more waste per MWh than wind.But you can't take a photo of CO₂, so we ignore it.In this episode, I'm joined by climate futurist and long-term decarbonisation modeller Michael Barnard. We cut through headlines to examine where the energy transition is actually heading - from electrification and maritime shipping to mass timber, industrial relocation, and grid efficiency. The stakes? Whether we build a cheaper, cleaner energy system, or cling to fossil-era assumptions.You'll hear why electrifying everything could cut primary energy demand by up to half.We dig into how 40% of global shipping may simply disappear as fossil fuel trade declines.And you might be shocked to learn why solar panels and wind turbines create thousands of times less waste per MWh than coal, yet attract far more outrage.We also explore how cheap renewables are reshaping industrial geography, why Spain's sunshine could outcompete former gas hubs, and how making electricity cheaper than fossil fuels changes everything.Interestingly, Seville's iconic wooden “Setas” isn't just architecture, it's proof that mass timber can replace steel and concrete at scale, locking carbon into buildings instead of the atmosphere.This is climate tech grounded in physics, economics, and human behaviour, not hype.

The Interchange
Is hyperscaler demand finally giving CCS its moment?

Carbon capture and storage has long been framed as a clean technology that's forever five years away. Bridget van Dorsten speaks with Tim Vail, CEO of ION Clean Energy, to explore why a surge in AI data-centre demand is reshaping the market for decarbonised gas – and how viable a solution it really is.Tim argues we've entered a buyer-led era for carbon capture, driven by hyperscalers like Amazon, Google and Microsoft who need 24/7 power fast - but are still committed to climate and decarbonization goals. That creates a new question for the energy transition: can natural gas + CCS deliver competitive renewable energy-level carbon intensity, while supporting grid resilience and scaling quickly enough for near-term energy projects?A big part of the conversation is about measurement and credibility. Tim explains how “carbon intensity” has to be assessed across the full value chain - from wellhead to electrons - including methane leakage. The rise of methane monitoring (ground, aircraft and satellite) and verification systems are helping utilities and buyers prove emissions performance, which is increasingly essential for energy finance, green finance, and corporate reporting. How does it work? Plus, Tim and Bridget debate the economics. Hyperscalers don't buy “dollars per ton of CO₂ captured” - they buy power. Tim breaks down what CCS can add on a $/MWh basis, how incentives like the US 45Q tax credit can influence the cost, and why execution (getting projects financed and to final investment decision) is now the real bottleneck. Along the way, Bridget and Tim place CCS in the broader clean firm competition set, including nuclear, hydrogen, geothermal, and solar energy plus batteries, and what this means for future energy predictions and energy policy.The big question: is CCS at last moving from concept to commercial scale - not because the chemistry suddenly changed, but because demand, verification, and project finance finally might be aligning? About Interchange RechargedInterchange Recharged is the Wood Mackenzie podcast exploring the technologies, markets and energy policy decisions shaping the future of energy - from clean tech and clean technology to infrastructure, grid resilience, and the financing models behind the next wave of decarbonisation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For the first time, batteries and solar powered California around the clock, with batteries running as the number one morning electricity source at nearly 6,000 megawatts. Tim Montague and John Weaver break down this milestone and a packed week of clean energy news, from a Supreme Court ruling striking down global tariffs to a Republican push to reinstate the 30% solar ITC. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSCalifornia achieved 24/7 solar and battery power for the first time. Batteries discharged through the night and morning, charged on near-free midday solar, then discharged again in the evening. (PV Magazine)Republican House member Brian Fitzpatrick voted against the "One Big Bill" over the removal of solar and wind tax credits and now pushes to reinstate the ITC. (E&E News)The Supreme Court ruled Trump's global tariffs illegal. John clarifies this removes the 10-20% blanket tariffs on goods like copper, steel, and aluminum. Solar module tariffs, battery tariffs from China (40-60%), and Southeast Asian tariffs remain in place. Indonesia's solar imports surged from 6 megawatts to 2.5 gigawatts of modules in under two years. Petitioners in the AD/CVD investigation now cite "critical circumstances." Expect new tariff action targeting Indonesian modules. (Solar Power World)Hithium completed the world's first open-door fire safety test on a 6.25 MWh battery energy storage system. Even with doors open and safety systems disabled, adjacent battery units were undamaged. (ESS News)Tim reports the number of battery companies at Intersolar roughly doubled year over year, now outnumbering solar module companies.With the ITC phase-out approaching, electricity prices climbing, and battery deployments accelerating, the stories covered here directly affect procurement decisions, financial modeling, and market strategy in 2026.

CDP chiede discontinuità puntando su Marcello Sala, ma Euronext intende procedere con la conferma. * Eurobond e "Safe Asset": La Commissione UE ha presentato un report sostenendo che per rafforzare l'Euro servano più "safe asset" comuni (Eurobond) per competere con il dollaro.EnergiaTestate: Corriere della Sera / la Repubblica / La Stampa * Decreto Bollette: Provvedimento da 2,5-3 miliardi di euro atteso in CdM. Prevede un contributo straordinario di 90€ (forse fino a 100€) per 4,5 milioni di utenti con bonus sociale (ISEE fino a 15.000€). * Meccanismo ETS: Il governo mira a "sterilizzare" i costi ETS (circa 30€/MWh su un prezzo di 120€) per abbassare i prezzi alle imprese, ma serve il via libera di Bruxelles. * Conflitto con le Regioni: La Lombardia protesta perché il decreto rischierebbe di far saltare l'accordo regionale per energia idroelettrica a prezzi scontati per le imprese energivore.Industria e TrasportiTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / La Stampa / la Repubblica * Ferrovie dello Stato: Investimenti record per 18,5 miliardi di euro nel 2025 (di cui 11,5 sulla rete).

Si stima un incasso di 13 miliardi di € in dieci anni.Banche e CreditoTestate: Il Messaggero, La Stampa * Liquidità BCE: Mossa dell'Eurotower per rafforzare l'Euro fornendo liquidità a tutte le banche centrali per fronteggiare la volatilità dei mercati. * Extra-profitti: Il vice-premier Salvini torna a proporre l'uso di una parte degli utili bancari (stimati in 28 miliardi di € nel 2025) per ridurre le bollette di luce e gas.Energia e GeopoliticaTestate: Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica, Il Messaggero * Decreto Energia: Atteso in CdM mercoledì 18 febbraio. Previsto un bonus una tantum di 90 € per le fasce fragili (stanziamento di 315 milioni di €). * Nodo ETS: Il Governo punta a sterilizzare l'impatto dei costi della CO2 (ETS) sul prezzo dell'energia, con un potenziale risparmio fino a 30 €/MWh, ma la misura rischia il veto di Bruxelles. * Relazioni USA-UE: La Premier Meloni conferma la partecipazione dell'Italia come osservatore al Board per Gaza alla Casa Bianca. Restano tensioni sulla cultura "MAGA" e sui possibili dazi americani.Sport Business & MediaTestate: Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica * Caos RAI Sport: Auro Bulbarelli sostituirà il direttore Paolo Petrecca per la telecronaca della cerimonia di chiusura delle Olimpiadi (22 febbraio) dopo le gaffe dell'inaugurazione. * Gestione Rai: Faro del CdA sulle spese di RaiSport, con collaborazioni esterne salite da 1,7 a 2,3 milioni di € nel 2025.Lavoro, Formazione e SanitàTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore, La Stampa * Riforma Istituti Tecnici: Al via da settembre 2026 i nuovi moduli basati sul PNRR, con focus su economia e tecnologia-ambiente. Coinvolgeranno oltre 835.000 studenti. * Liste d'Attesa Sanità: Lanciata la Piattaforma Nazionale di monitoraggio. Emerse criticità estreme: fino a 800 giorni per alcuni esami. In Italia circa 6 milioni di persone hanno rinunciato a curarsi per i tempi lunghi.Executive Takeaway (Insight C-Suite) * Resilienza Italiana: L'Italia guida la crescita reale del G7 post-inflazione (+7,5% potere d'acquisto pro capite dal 2022), unico Paese con surplus primario, ma la crescita è legata all'aumento record dell'occupazione piuttosto che alla produttività di sistema. * Rischio Regolatorio Energetico: Il tentativo di modificare unilateralmente il meccanismo ETS per abbassare i prezzi elettrici (-30 €/MWh) crea instabilità per gli investitori "green" (85 miliardi previsti nel triennio) e apre un conflitto normativo con la Commissione UE. * Referendum Giustizia (22-23 marzo): La separazione delle carriere è percepita dal mercato come un fattore di velocizzazione della giustizia, ma l'incertezza sull'esito (testa a testa nei sondaggi) e la forte opposizione dell'ANM segnalano un possibile stallo delle riforme istituzionali. * Autonomia Strategica UE: La transizione verso l'autonomia produttiva (es. semiconduttori e lanci spaziali) è ritenuta urgente per mitigare la volatilità geopolitica, ma comporta costi operativi elevati nel breve periodo che potrebbero erodere la competitività delle manifatture. * Digitalizzazione Fiscale: L'Agenzia delle Entrate punta sull'interoperabilità di 200 banche dati e IA per superare il record di recupero evasione, offrendo alle imprese "stabilità per due anni" tramite il concordato biennale.

In un solo anno, 429 aziende italiane sono passate sotto controllo estero. * Settore Automotive: Il fondo per il comparto (2022-2030) da 8,7 miliardi di euro è stato drasticamente tagliato, lasciando in cassa solo 1,6 miliardi a fine 2024. I primi 315 operatori della componentistica hanno perso il 15% del fatturato in due anni. * Incentivi e PNRR: Il piano Transizione 5.0 da 6,3 miliardi ha subito una riduzione dei fondi a 2,75 miliardi a novembre 2025. Risultano prenotati o completati progetti per 4,76 miliardi, ma la certezza sulle coperture si avrà solo dopo il 28 febbraio. * ZES Unica: Stanziati 4 miliardi di euro per favorire lo sviluppo dalle Marche in giù.Banche e CreditoTestate: Corriere della Sera / Repubblica Affari&Finanza * Prestiti alle imprese: Il volume dei prestiti in Italia tra dicembre 2011 e dicembre 2024 è sceso del 31% (641 miliardi di euro), contro il +70% della Francia (1.491 miliardi) e il +53% della Germania (1.391 miliardi). * Politica Monetaria e Cambi: L'euro ha raggiunto un picco di 1,20 sul dollaro a fine gennaio. L'inflazione nell'Eurozona è scesa all'1,7% a gennaio, portando la BCE a proiezioni inferiori al 2% per i prossimi tre anni.Fisco e NormativaTestate: Il Giornale / Il Sole 24 Ore * Recupero Evasione: Record di recupero previsto per il 2025 a circa 35 miliardi di euro, dopo i 33,4 miliardi del 2024. * Sorveglianza Fiscale: Nel 2026 partiranno 2,4 milioni di "lettere di compliance" ai contribuenti. * Titoli di Stato e ISEE: L'esclusione dei titoli di Stato dal calcolo amplia la platea dei beneficiari dell'ISEE.Energia e GeopoliticaTestate: Corriere della Sera / Il Messaggero * Costi Energetici: In Italia l'energia costa il 30% in più rispetto alla media europea. Il sovraccosto del gas pesa 2-3 euro in più al MWh rispetto alla borsa di Amsterdam. * Giappone: La premier Sanae Takaichi ha ottenuto una maggioranza record (almeno 316 seggi su 465). Propone una sospensione dell'IVA sui beni alimentari per due anni, con una riduzione del gettito di 5.000 miliardi di yen annui. * Francia: La spesa pubblica salirà di 38 miliardi di euro nel 2026 (0,9% del PIL).

Per i giudici costituzionali il tetto è fissato a 466.000 euro. L'adeguamento riguarda circa 50 figure apicali. * Trasparenza Salariale: La direttiva UE dovrà essere recepita entro il 7 giugno. Nelle imprese con oltre 250 dipendenti scatterà l'obbligo di rendicontazione annuale dal 2027; differenze salariali superiori al 5% non giustificate faranno scattare valutazioni congiunte. * Attrattività Talenti: L'Italia è ultima in UE per "Blue Card" rilasciate a lavoratori qualificati extra-UE: solo 633 nel 2024, contro le 56.252 della Germania.La difficoltà di reperimento lavoratori nel settore della progettazione app raggiunge il 62,7%.Sport BusinessTestate: Corriere della Sera / Il Giornale * Olimpiadi Milano-Cortina 2026: Polemiche per sabotaggi ferroviari e scontri durante le manifestazioni "No Ice". Executive Takeaway (Punti Chiave per il Management) * Iper-investimento IA: Il 2026 sarà l'anno del raddoppio delle spese in conto capitale per i giganti tech (oltre 660 mld $), ma cresce lo scetticismo del mercato sui ritorni reali e sulla sostenibilità dell'enorme debito accumulato. * Erosione del Made in Italy: La perdita del 3,8% della produzione industriale in tre anni e il passaggio di 429 aziende a mani estere evidenziano una crisi di competitività strutturale, aggravata da costi energetici superiori del 30% rispetto alla media UE. * Instabilità degli Incentivi: Il forte "stop and go" sulle misure (es. Automotive tagliato da 8,7 a 1,6 mld; Transizione 5.0 ridotta del 50%) genera un clima di incertezza che frena la pianificazione industriale a lungo termine. * Nuovi Obblighi ESG/HR: L'imminente recepimento della direttiva sulla trasparenza salariale (giugno 2026) imporrà alle aziende processi di audit rigorosi per eliminare il gap di genere, pena sanzioni e rischi reputazionali. * Shift Geopolitico Asiatico: Il trionfo di Takaichi in Giappone apre a una politica fiscale aggressiva (taglio IVA per 5.000 mld yen) e a un riarmo assertivo che potrebbe ridefinire gli equilibri commerciali e i flussi di capitale verso l'Indo-Pacifico.

Die fossile Welt wird abgelöst – aber nur, wenn wir das Energiesystem wirklich flexibel machen. In dieser Folge von „Energie im Wandel“ spricht Claus Hartmann mit Georg Gallmetzer, Geschäftsführer von Ecostor, über die disruptive Rolle von Großbatteriespeichern: Warum Speicher nicht „nice to have“, sondern das stützende Bein für Wind und Solar sind – und wie sie helfen können, die Energiewende unumkehrbar zu machen. Georg räumt mit Mythen auf: Speicher sind nicht automatisch „unfassbar wirtschaftlich“ – aber sie sind volkswirtschaftliche Effizienzmaschinen. Am Beispiel der Anlage in Bollingstedt (100 MW / 238 MWh) zeigt er, wie Speicher CO₂ verdrängen, Abregelungen reduzieren und Spitzenpreise glätten. Außerdem geht's um die harte Praxis: Leitplanken der Netzbetreiber, Engpass-Management, Viertelstundenhandel (physisch statt „Bitcoin-Farm“-Klischee) – und warum wir bei Netzentgelten endlich echte Preissignale brauchen. Zum Schluss wird's lokal: Akzeptanz vor Ort, faire Beteiligung, Gewerbesteuer – und was Ecostor als Nächstes plant, um Gigawattstunden „ins Feld zu führen“.

If you don't use it or love it, it's okay to let it go. This episode also touches on consumption overload and becoming more mindful of where your time, money, and attention are going. Not every moment needs to be filled with sound or stimulation. Stillness and empty space are necessary for regulation and alignment.

Demand for digital services has exploded — and with it, the rapid expansion of data centres providing the compute power behind everything from streaming and cloud storage to AI. But this growth could have serious climate consequences.In this episode, James and Daisy explore the rise of data centres. What exactly are they? Why are they becoming so central to our lives? And how can we guide their future growth to align with our climate goals?SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: Cleaning Up (2025) – An on-location podcast episode where Michael Liebreich visits Sines, Portugal, where Start Campus is building a data centre, set to be Europe's largest. Carbon Brief (2025) – Five charts on data centre energy use and emissions. Brookings (2025) – Analysis on the future of data centres. OTHER ADVOCATES AND RESOURCES:Green Mountain – SVG-Rennesøy is a Norwegian Tier III mountain hall data centre built inside a former high security NATO ammunition storage facility and cooled by fjord seawater.The Guardian (2025) – Google plans to put AI data centres into space, with the first trial equipment sent into orbit in early 2027. Solar panels powering these data centres could be up to eight times more productive than those on Earth. Terrestrial Energy – A developer of Generation IV nuclear plants using proprietary Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) technology.NESO – The National Energy System Operator for Great Britain, responsible for electricity system planning amid rising demand.BBC (2023) – The waste heat from a washing-machine-sized data centre is being used to heat a public swimming pool in Devon.Bloomberg (2025) – Finland and Sweden are pairing data centres with district heating systems.WEF (2020) – Microsoft's ‘Project Natick' tested a shipping-container-sized underwater data centre off the coast of Orkney, Scotland, finding it was eight times more reliable than land-based equivalents.Kraken – An all-in-one, smart operating system automating much of the energy supply chain, supporting efficiency and flexibility as energy systems decarbonise.SOME FACTS:MIT News (2025) – The first data centre was built at the University of Pennsylvania in 1945 to support the ENIAC, the first general-purpose digital computer. IEA (2023) – Since 2010, the number of internet users worldwide has more than doubled, while internet traffic has increased 25-fold. Data centres and data transmission networks each account for 1-1.5% of global electricity use and around 1% of energy-related GHG emissions. UK Parliament (2025) – Data centres consume around 2.5% of the UK's electricity, with demand expected to quadruple by 2030.GOV.UK (2024) – Data centres are designated as Critical National Infrastructure, alongside energy and water systems.BBC (2025) – There are an estimated 500 data centres operating across the UK.McKinsey (2025) – By 2030, $6.7 trillion in global investment in data centres will be needed to meet demand for compute power, of which 70% will come from AI workloads. Demand for AI-ready data centre capacity is expected to grow by 33% per year between 2023 and 2030. By 2030, up to 65% of AI workloads in Europe and the United States will be hosted on hyperscalers' infrastructure.Ofgem (2006) – One megawatt-hour (MWh) equals 1,000 kilowatt hours – roughly enough to power around 2,000 homes for one hour.MIT Sloan School of Management (2025) – When the full cost of delivering AI to customers is included, data centres could account for up to 21% of global energy demand by 2030.WEF – Power use in data centres is typically split between IT equipment (40–50%), cooling systems (30–40%), and auxiliary systems such as lighting and security (10–30%).NY Times (2025) – Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Meta spent more than $360 billion in capital expenditures over 12 months.CSO (2023) – Data centres already account for over 20% of Ireland's total electricity consumption.IEA (2024) – Nearly one-third of Ireland's electricity demand is expected to come from data centres by 2026.WEF (2025) – Climate hazards such as extreme heat and drought could add $81 billion per year in costs to data centres globally by 2035.The Guardian (2025) – More than 230 environmental groups have called for a national moratorium on new US data centres, citing rising electricity bills and worsening climate impacts.CNBC (2025) – Google, Oracle and Microsoft estimate AI hardware lifespans of up to six years, but sceptics such as short seller Michael Burry argue that they may be significantly shorter. Thank you for listening!

Moderuje Štěpán Sedláček.Minulá vláda stanovila odklon od spalování uhlí na rok 2033. Ale potvrzují se odhady řady analytiků, kteří tvrdili, že k tomu může dojí významně dřív mimo jiné pod tlakem rostoucí ceny emisních povolenek a rychlého rozvoje obnovitelných zdrojů. Při aktuální ceně povolenky, která přesahuje 90 €/MWh, je levnější vyrábět energii v plynových elektrárnách. České uhelné zdroje tak přijdou na řadu, jen když jaderné elektrárny a OZE nepokryjí spotřebu a po většinu roku by bylo levnější elektřinu do Česka dovážet než ji získávat ze spalování hnědého uhlí. CNa sklonku loňského roku oznámila firma Sev.en Pavla Tykače plán ukončit hnědouhelných elektráren Chvaletice, Počerady a teplárny Kladno, jejichž provoz se přestává vyplácet. Nová analýza organizace Fakta o klimatu ukazuje, že vypnutí uvedených elektráren by nemělo v Česku ohrozit dodávky elektřiny a na její ceně se podepsat jen minimálně. To vyplynulo na základě modelování české a evropské energetické soustavy. Podle zakladatele a vedoucího Fakt o klimatu Ondřáše Přibyly tak ekonomicky nedává smysl chod Tykačových elektráren dotovat.

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

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 fifth episode of our Innovation in Infrastructure podcast mini-series we are delighted to welcome Eric Grégoire, the CEO of Igneo portfolio company Scandlines. Scandlines already owns the world's largest fleet of hybrid ferries which operate between Germany and Denmark. The company is about to take the next big step on its green journey with the upcoming launch of a zero direct emissions-freight ferry on its Puttgarden-Rodby route. When the 147m ferry enters operations its 10 MWh battery will be chargeable within 12 minutes between each one-hour crossing.   This episode explores not only the company's innovation in the operations of zero direct emissions and electrification of vessels but also describes the culture of innovation being created by the Scandlines Academy and other innovations in energy consumption. We thank Simon Montague from the Global Infrastructure Investor Association (GIIA) for his continued support in hosting this series.********************** Important informationThis material is for general information purposes only.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1090: Toyota leads with heart in Texas, Redwood supercharges old EV batteries for AI, and deepfake fraud hits a chilling milestone. Show Notes with links:Following catastrophic flooding, Toyota is stepping up big for its home state, pledging over $600,000 in aid to support the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund and various on-the-ground recovery efforts.TMNA is joining forces with Toyota Financial Services, Gulf States Toyota, Southeast Toyota, and dealers nationwide.On top of the $600K, TMNA will match contributions up to $10,000 for eligible Toyota and Lexus dealers donating to flood relief charities and will double all U.S. team member contributions directed to disaster relief.Relief includes financial assistance, donation drives, and payment relief for impacted customers.“When disasters like this occur, it's important to help our neighbors and communities in their time of need,” said TMNA CEO Ted Ogawa.Redwood Materials, led by former Tesla co-founder JB Straubel, is giving EV batteries a second life—this time fueling the AI revolution with renewable power.In the Nevada desert, Redwood built a 12 MW/63 MWh microgrid from 792 repurposed EV battery packs from automakers like Toyota, GM, and VW, which is enough to power 4,000 homes continuously for about 5 hours.The system powers an AI data center using only a 33-acre solar array—no grid connection, no permits, no backup generators.With AI data centers projected to consume 12% of U.S. electricity by 2028, second-life batteries are gaining traction as scalable, fast-to-deploy storage.Redwood expects to deliver over 5 GWh of repurposed storage capacity in the next 12 months.“You can deploy this very fast,” said Straubel. “We'll absolutely see much larger deployments of this.”(Since they are powering an ai data center…speaking of ai)A new wave of AI voice cloning fraud has hit an alarming milestone: impersonating a U.S. Secretary of State.

Mps-Mediobanca, dopo l'ok della Bce l'ops è pronta a partire

Salvo colpi di scena, l'OPS di Mps su Mediobanca potrebbe partire tra l'8 e il 15 luglio e chiudersi entro agosto. Dopo il parere favorevole informale della Vigilanza Bce, si attende il via libera formale per inviare il prospetto informativo alla Consob, che ha 5 giorni lavorativi per autorizzare l'offerta. Mps punta a raggiungere almeno il 66,67% del capitale di Mediobanca per ottenere il pieno controllo. L'operazione si inserisce nella strategia di rilancio di Mps, partita con la cessione del 15% da parte del Tesoro lo scorso novembre a investitori italiani, tra cui Banco Bpm, Anima, e le famiglie Del Vecchio e Caltagirone. Su questa cessione indaga ora la Procura di Milano, ipotizzando il reato di aggiotaggio, mentre la Commissione Europea valuta eventuali aiuti di Stato. Banca Akros, che ha curato il collocamento, ha respinto le accuse, difendendo la correttezza della procedura e negando esclusioni di investitori. Ne parliamo con Alberto Grassani, Il Sole 24 OreDall'escalation in Iran all'annuncio della tregua: la mano invisibile della CinaIn 48 ore, il conflitto tra Iran, Israele e Stati Uniti è passato da un attacco militare a una tregua instabile. USA e Israele hanno colpito i siti nucleari iraniani di Fordow e Natanz, spingendo Teheran a rispondere con missili contro la base americana di Al Udeid. A sorpresa, Trump ha annunciato una tregua mediata dal Qatar, ma con un ruolo chiave, secondo Plateroti, della Cina. Pechino avrebbe favorito l'intesa per tutelare i suoi interessi energetici. Tuttavia, il cessate il fuoco è già stato violato: l'Iran ha lanciato missili su Beersheba, provocando 4 morti civili, e Israele ha risposto bombardando anche il carcere di Evin a Teheran. Le parti si accusano reciprocamente di aver infranto l'accordo. La situazione a Gaza resta drammatica, con 29 civili uccisi, 19 vicino all'ospedale Al-Awda. La crisi ha scosso i mercati energetici: il Brent è sceso del 3%, il TTF europeo è salito a 42,44 euro/MWh. Gli operatori temono un blocco dello Stretto di Hormuz, da cui passa circa un terzo del greggio mondiale e il 20% del GNL. Andiamo dietro la notizia con Alessandro Plateroti, direttore Newsmondo.ANCE: "Tanti problemi strutturali ma sul PNRR siamo più avanti di come sembra"All'assemblea ANCE di Roma si è parlato di ritardi strutturali e del “tempo giusto” per agire. Quattro i temi chiave: rigenerazione urbana, infrastrutture resilienti, rivoluzione digitale e formazione. Allarme sul disagio abitativo: il 66% dei giovani vive ancora con i genitori, 21.000 sono emigrati nel 2023. Le città universitarie offrono pochi alloggi: Roma copre solo il 18% del fabbisogno. La spesa PNRR è al 34%, ma il 60% dei cantieri è attivo o concluso. La riforma ha ridotto i tempi delle gare, ma permangono ritardi di programmazione. Il modello ferroviario è virtuoso (72% rete elettrificata), ma quello stradale è stato compromesso dai tagli ai fondi ANAS. I Comuni hanno raddoppiato gli investimenti pubblici dal 2018. Sul fronte abitativo, ANCE chiede un piano nazionale con almeno 15 miliardi su 10 anni e un'unica cabina di regia. Gli eventi climatici richiedono infrastrutture adeguate: Palermo riceve più pioggia di Londra, il Sud rischia la desertificazione. Le imprese attendono 3 miliardi di ristori dal 2022 per il caro materiali, e i pagamenti pubblici restano in media oltre i 5 mesi. Interviene Federica Brancaccio, presidente ANCE.
