As AI demand continues to grow, so does the public scrutiny of the data centres that provide it. With more data centres being built to meet that demand, running these facilities efficiently has never been more important. Communities are also increasingly asking what impact this infrastructure will have on local resources, while misinformation and conflicting claims around the topic can make it difficult to separate fact from fiction.This week on Technology Now, Andrew DesRochers, Principal Technologist for Sustainable Transformation at HPE, joins the show to discuss: The importance that geography has on the efficiency of data centresHow cooling techniques are evolving to meet AI demandsWhy it's necessary for IT companies to foster a transparent relationship with the publicWhat the next generation of data centres might look like

 Nuclear power was meant to disappear in much of Europe, but Germany, Belgium and Italy are changing their minds.  Rising energy demand, climate concerns and artificial intelligence are making old reactors and new designs attractive again.  Germany's Chancellor admits closing nuclear plants was a serious strategic mistake Belgium cancels its nuclear shutdown law and plans longer reactor use Italy approves plans to return to nuclear power after decades of bans Energy security and climate needs make nuclear support grow across political groups Wind and solar need nuclear's steady electricity when weather conditions change AI data centres increase electricity demand and face long waits for grid connections Technology companies fund reactors, including Microsoft restarting a Three Mile Island reactor High construction costs delay projects, while governments support financing and smaller reactors Finland prepares deep underground nuclear waste storage, designed to last 100,000 years Fusion investment grows, promising low-carbon power without a possible reactor meltdown Full interactive transcript, subtitles and key vocabulary available on the website: https://www.leonardoenglish.com/podcasts/nuclear-comeback ---You might like:

As AI-driven electricity demand climbs, can nuclear power move beyond paper reactors to real-world deployment? In this episode of Power Plays, Dr. Jeffrey King of Tennessee Tech explains the push and pull of nuclear power's comeback, from AI-driven demand and SMRs to fuel constraints, waste policy and public trust.

Stewart Alsop sits down with Antoine Marcel, CEO and cofounder of Flourish, to explore the future of home robotics and what he calls "solarpunk" automation. Antoine discusses why Flourish is building wheeled robots with arms instead of following the humanoid hype, arguing that the expensive legs and teleoperation approach isn't practical for real consumers today. The conversation ranges from the philosophy of robots that disappear when you're home (rather than becoming constant companions) to the bureaucratic nightmares of modern life that robotics might actually solve. Antoine explains how their $3,500 robots can be trained in thirty minutes using just your phone to handle personalized household tasks, and why saving people two hours a day—not just ten minutes—is the threshold for consumer adoption. They also dig into whether Paris will become a solarpunk or cyberpunk city, why Apple represents solarpunk design principles, and how the first 50 Flourish units are about to ship worldwide at flourish-robots.com. Key Insights1. The core innovation behind Flourish is building mobile-based robots with arms but no legs, moving on wheels rather than attempting humanoid locomotion. This design choice stems from practical considerations since even humanoid robots cannot reliably handle stairs, and legs represent approximately twenty thousand dollars of the cost in humanoid platforms. By eliminating legs, the company can focus on delivering functional value to consumers today rather than developing research products. The founder emphasizes that accessibility and usefulness are paramount, rejecting the demonstration-focused approach that dominates the robotics industry where companies raise billions on teleoperated demos that never ship to actual consumers. 2. The founder's background in automation across logistics, software, and sales led him to recognize that the most painful tasks in life occur outside the computer. After automating digital work processes, he realized that returning home after a long workday to clean, cook, and tidy remained exhausting and unaddressed by existing technology. This insight, combined with advances in physical AI over the past three years, drove him to develop the first robot prototype that runs in his own home, constantly testing and iterating based on real-world use cases like navigating doorways and picking up scattered items from floors. 3. The company is building toward a solarpunk vision rather than cyberpunk future, where robots disappear from conscious awareness and operate silently in the background. The founder envisions robots emerging from closets when people leave home, performing cleaning and tidying tasks, then retreating before residents return. This approach contrasts sharply with the prevalent humanoid robot vision featuring teleoperated machines with cameras potentially monitored by remote operators. The goal is reducing technology's presence in daily life to create more time for family, creativity, and meaningful activities rather than introducing intrusive robotic presences into living spaces. 4. Consumer robotics faces fundamental challenges that explain why almost no companies successfully sell to end users despite massive investment in the sector. Industrial robotics offers clearer paths to revenue, while consumer products require extensive market education, safety certifications, and must genuinely change lives rather than provide marginal improvements. The founder argues that saving people ten or thirty minutes daily is insufficient and forgettable, but saving two hours daily creates transformative value that sustains product adoption. This high bar for meaningful impact explains why the consumer robotics market remains largely unaddressed despite technological capabilities. 5. The business model centers on teaching robots specific tasks through a thirty-minute training process using a smartphone, then fine-tuning AI models for those particular workflows. Rather than pursuing general physical AI that can handle any task, Flourish enables users to create custom automations for their specific needs, like retrieving items from the refrigerator or collecting clothes for the washer. This approach acknowledges that general physical AI is not yet ready while still delivering practical value through task-specific learning. The company plans to launch fifty units at thirty-five hundred dollars, shipping worldwide, with rapid sellout expected due to existing demand. 6. The robot extends vertically to reach from floor level to table height, enabling tasks like cleaning surfaces and accessing shelves while maintaining a compact mobile base that can navigate through doorways. Current limitations include lack of waterproofing, preventing dishwashing tasks, and challenges with delicate object manipulation requiring advanced tactile sensing. The founder uses first-generation prototypes in his own home, scheduling the robot to pick up scattered items like socks and trash throughout the day. This real-world testing revealed critical design issues like initial prototypes being too large to pass through standard doorways, problems only discoverable through actual home deployment rather than warehouse testing. 7. The rise of AI-powered robotics fundamentally transforms hardware development by enabling software engineers without traditional robotics expertise to launch robotics companies after just weeks of learning. This democratization stems from downloadable models from well-funded research companies like Physical Intelligence, whose work the founder incorporates into Flourish robots. This represents a shift from the industrial age's capital-intensive factory model to an information age paradigm where substantial capability can be rapidly deployed through software. However, this transformation raises questions about competition intensity, market education for skeptical consumers, and whether the benefits will broadly distribute or concentrate among those with will and intelligence to build while others remain excluded and fearful. Timestamps00:00 Stewart welcomes Antoine Marcel, CEO of Flourish, who explains they're building accessible home robots with wheeled bases and arms rather than expensive humanoid forms for practical domestic use. 05:00 Antoine discusses testing prototypes in his home for picking up clothes and trash, explaining how real-world testing revealed issues like doors being too narrow for early designs. 10:00 The conversation shifts to how AI hype enables useful research, with Antoine noting he uses physical intelligence models in his robots that wouldn't exist without funding bubbles. 15:00 Antoine emphasizes robots must save users two hours daily to matter, explaining why consumer robotics is harder than industrial applications due to certification requirements and market education needs. 20:00 Discussion of solarpunk philosophy versus cyberpunk futures, with Antoine envisioning robots that hide away when not needed, emerging only to clean and organize while families enjoy life. 25:00 They explore how different cities might adopt solarpunk or cyberpunk approaches, comparing bureaucracy as inherently cyberpunk while discussing Argentina's potential as a solarpunk capital. 30:00 Antoine positions Flourish like early Apple, making complex robotics simple and accessible, rejecting teleoperated solutions in favor of onboard AI that learns from users. 35:00 The business model discussion centers on unit economics, with Antoine arguing domestic robots should monetize time saved rather than attention captured like social media platforms. 40:00 Antoine advocates against robot screens and rental models, favoring voice control and ownership so robots learn individual routines and preferences through personalization. 45:00 They discuss robots disappearing from view when unneeded, contrasting home automation with dark factory models, before exploring robot aesthetics and art possibilities. 50:00 Antoine announces Flourish's launch of fifty units at $3,500 that users can train in thirty minutes using phones, teaching specific tasks the AI then fine-tunes for daily execution.

Lisa Boothe is joined by Will Hild, executive director of Consumers’ Research, for a deep dive into the growing backlash against data centers and the massive infrastructure buildout powering America’s digital economy and artificial intelligence boom. Hild argues that Big Tech helped create its own political problem by failing to explain how essential data centers are to everyday life—and by ignoring legitimate concerns from the communities where these facilities are being built. He breaks down questions surrounding electricity prices, water consumption, noise, development and the impact on local communities, while explaining why he believes many fears surrounding modern data centers are overstated. Lisa and Will also examine allegations of Chinese influence operations targeting the American debate over AI and energy policy, as well as Hild’s argument that elements of the ESG movement have shifted their focus toward opposing data-center development. They discuss how distrust of Big Tech following years of censorship, deplatforming and corporate political activism has helped fuel resistance to the industry’s latest expansion. Plus, Hild explains the potential upside for communities that welcome data centers, including a larger tax base, infrastructure investment and potentially lower property taxes. He makes the case that America can expand the digital infrastructure needed to compete in the AI era—but that companies must once again recognize that the consumer comes first.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AI data centers are popping up across America, draining massive amounts of electricity and water while communities are being told it's all necessary so we can beat China in the artificial intelligence arms race. I joined The Matt Gaetz Show to break down what's actually true, what's being exaggerated, and why two things can be true at the same time: China has every incentive to influence the debate over American AI development, and Americans have very legitimate reasons to question giant data centers showing up in their communities. We get into skyrocketing power bills, natural resources, centralized technological power, the national security argument for AI, whether “China!” is becoming an excuse to fast-track everything without scrutiny, and Elon Musk's rather convenient solution of eventually putting data centers on the backside of the moon. Because apparently when Big Tech runs out of your electricity and water, space is the next logical victim.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-jeff-dornik-show--4788100/support.Follow The Jeff Dornik Show on Apple Podcasts and leave a 5-star review.

Iran and Oman appear to have reached a tentative agreement over the Strait of Hormuz, but is it a genuine diplomatic breakthrough or simply a pause in a much larger geopolitical conflict? At the same time, Europe is grappling with renewed migration pressures in Ceuta and record-breaking heat that underscores the growing political and economic consequences of climate change. Host Giles Whittell is joined by Adam Cancryn (CNN), Shona Murray (Euronews), and Kim Willsher (The Observer) to connect these stories and explore what they reveal about the shifting global landscape. The panel examines President Trump's approach to Iran, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and the potential impact on global energy markets. They also discuss Europe's response to increasing migration, the political tensions within the European Union, and the ways climate-related disasters are becoming central to policy debates. Together, they explore how international crises increasingly shape domestic politics, influence elections, and test alliances across Europe and the United States. From energy security and border policy to climate resilience and transatlantic relations, this episode provides the context behind the headlines and explains why these interconnected challenges will continue to shape global affairs in the months ahead.

Judy Dempsey, Senior Scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, describes a Europe struggling with record heat, wildfires, and critically low river levels that are hampering nuclear power and agriculture. She argues these patterns reflect a deteriorating climate requiring a global response. The conversation shifts to a massive migration incident where 60,000 young men attempted to enter a Spanish exclave from Morocco. Dempsey explains that this surge is being exploited by far-right parties across Europe, such as the AfD in Germany, who capitalize on voter dissatisfaction. She notes that despite bilateral labor agreements, the political fallout is fueling nationalism. (2)1651 SPAIN

Talks about Nuclear Power

Nearly 19,000 files reportedly connected to India's Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant appeared on a ransomware group's leak site. The files allegedly included engineering drawings, facility layouts, supplier details, inspection records, project correspondence, and equipment photographs.The plant's operator says nuclear safety and security systems were not compromised. That distinction matters, but it does not make the exposed information worthless.Ben interviews Tyler Moffitt about how attackers can collect intelligence withoutpenetrating a reactor, why contractors become attractive targets, and how individually mundane documents can combine into an operational map of critical infrastructure.As featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcasts  Top 50 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts Top 70 Security Hacking PodcastsThis list is the most comprehensive ranking of Cyber Security Podcasts online and we are honoured to feature amongst the best!Follow or subscribe to the show on your preferred podcast platform.Share the show with others in the cybersecurity world.Get in touch via reimaginingcyber@gmail.com

Henry Sokolski examines a proposed deal to provide Saudi Arabia with nuclear power that has sparked intense proliferation concerns. While the Department of Energy initially signaled a "green light," the Trump administration later conditioned the agreement on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords. Sokolski warns that without "Additional Protocol" inspections, the kingdom could use the technology to develop a "bomb option." This follows the Crown Prince's 2018 assertion that Saudi Arabia would seek nuclear weapons if Iran acquired them. (9)

President Trump said on Thursday that a new nuclear energy deal with Saudi Arabia will require the Arab kingdom to normalize relations with Israel. That marked a turn, a day after the administration announced the signing of the agreement without mentioning that precondition. Trump said in an online post that the deal “will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed Trump's condition that Saudi Arabia join the accords that would establish relations with Israel. And tick, tock, goes the end times clock.“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” Daniel 9:27 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the stunning part of this announcement is not simply that Washington and Riyadh have negotiated a civilian nuclear partnership. It is that President Trump has now placed Israel at the hinge of the entire arrangement. The Energy Department announced a decades-long nuclear-cooperation agreement on July 22; Trump then declared that its implementation is “totally subject” to Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords and normalizing relations with Israel. Nuclear power, American technology, Saudi wealth, regional security and peace with Israel are being bound together inside one enormous geopolitical package. Saudi Arabia has always been the crown jewel of Trump's Abraham Accords. Bringing the kingdom into formal relations with Israel would transform the accords from a collection of normalization agreements into the framework for an entirely new Middle Eastern order.Psalm 83 presents Israel surrounded by enemies conspiring against its continued existence. Jeremiah 30:7 points forward to the unparalleled “time of Jacob's trouble.” Daniel 9:27 reveals a covenant that appears to provide order and security before producing betrayal, abomination and desolation. Taken together, these passages paint a sobering picture: Israel's search for peace will ultimately produce an agreement powerful enough to reorganize the region, persuasive enough to gain Israel's confidence and broad enough to include “many.” Trump may not be the man who ultimately confirms Daniel's covenant, but he is absolutely helping construct the diplomatic machinery that the coming man of sin will inherit. The names and circumstances are impossible to ignore: the Abraham Accords, Israel at the center, Saudi Arabia as the decisive partner, multiple nations being gathered, promises of peace and security, and now nuclear technology being used as leverage to seal the deal. Come with us as we take another ‘giant step' on the end times timeline!!

Jake Jurewicz is the Co-founder and CEO of Blue Energy, a nuclear power plant developer. Blue Energy starts with proven, light water reactors and builds everything around them — prefabricating standardized nuclear plants as massive modules in shipyards and fab yards, then barging them to site. It pairs that with a patented gas-to-nuclear approach that energizes the plant on gas turbines first and converts to nuclear later. The goal is to make nuclear cheap enough and fast enough to build that private lenders will finance it, rather than the taxpayers and ratepayers who've carried almost every plant built so far. The company recently announced a collaboration with GE Vernova on a 2.5-gigawatt gas-plus-nuclear project in Texas, built around GE Vernova Hitachi's BWRX-300 reactor, with backing from VXI Capital, At One Ventures, and Engine Ventures. The why now is straightforward: AI data centers are pulling on the grid harder than anything in a generation, firm clean power is scarce, and the cost and speed of building nuclear have been the thing holding it back. Jake's bet is that the fix lives in how you build and finance the plant, rather than in the reactor itself.

A race started by President Trump is leading to the rapid construction of new, experimental nuclear reactors. If they work, they could power data centers for artificial intelligence. But critics worry that the breakneck pace is compromising safety and public trust. NPR correspondent Geoff Brumfiel talks about the potential risks and benefits, and whether this may lead to a new nuclear age.Read more of Geoff's coverage of the U.S.'s new nuclear reactors here.If you like this episode, check out our episode about what happens inside a top-secret U.S. nuclear facility?Interested in more science and tech news?

Ever since the Homestead Act of 1862, the U.S. government has worked to help everyday Americans own a piece of their nation. One important innovation was the 30-year fixed rate mortgage, a uniquely American loan that helped supercharge homeownership in the U.S. after World War II. But not every effort by the government to increase homeownership has paid off. Now as younger homebuyers face an affordability crisis, can the U.S. government keep that American dream alive This episode is part of The Wall Street Journal's USA250: The Story of the World's Greatest Economy, a collection of articles, videos and podcasts aiming to offer a deeper understanding of how America has evolved.

The summer heat is here and so is a heavier load on our country's electrical grid. The U.S. Northeast, Northwest, and areas of Texas and California face an elevated risk of blackouts from extreme weather and overextended power grids. Combine the normal load increase with a sharp rise in expansion of AI data centers, digital infrastructure, and industrial electrification. Proponents of nuclear power say it supplies cleaner and more reliable energy than other sources, especially during extreme weather events. FOX's Tonya J. Powers speaks with John Kotek, Senior Vice President, Policy and Public Affairs, from the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), who says during extreme weather events nuclear can provide clean, reliable power, and explains how 'microreactors' are an important element of a nuclear future.
