Published 14 June 2026This week, we dive back into the ratings discussion. This time we talk to an expert, Australian Sailing's Ratings Manager, Chris Zonca. We wanted to ask all the key questions any yacht owner should ask. In reality we only scratched the surface. Regardless, it was a very interesting discussion. Plus there was plenty of fun to be had.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining a historic first for American energy exports as federal regulators have approved construction of a five-billion-dollar floating platform to produce liquefied natural gas for export in U.S. waters. The controversial project, led by Delfin Midstream of Houston, will be located forty miles off the coast of Louisiana and is expected to begin production in 2030, with Samsung Heavy Industries constructing the platforms and MOL of Japan also connected to the venture. Meanwhile, the e-commerce giant's full entry into the less-than-truckload market is sparking fierce debate over whether Amazon can truly disrupt the LTL space with its asset-light model of roughly thirty terminals. While the announcement sent shares of publicly traded LTL carriers modestly lower, analysts are largely skeptical, noting that Amazon's offering is more akin to what brokers provide and will likely compete primarily with the economy three-to-four-day sub-segment rather than premium service lanes. Finally, we cover a potential lifeline for the embattled van trailer builder as the Commerce Department imposed preliminary countervailing duties on Chinese and Mexican trailer imports ranging from eighty-two to one hundred twenty-nine percent on Chinese products. The decision, which came as S&P Global Ratings downgraded Wabash to B-, will require importers to immediately begin posting cash deposits at the preliminary rates, providing relief to domestic manufacturers facing intense foreign competition.

As you may have heard in last week's episode, the Culture Gabfest is hanging up its microphones after 18 years of cultural commentary. But before our final episode, we've still got much to discuss!On this special guest-packed show, Steve, Dana, and Nadira Goffe have the power! That is the power to get into it with VSFOP Jamelle Bouie about Masters of the Universe, the latest attempt by Mattel to launch their own cinematic universe. They assess the state of IP-driven superhero movies and whether this newest entry—starring Nicholas Galitzine, as the buff, loin cloth-wearing He-Man, and Jared Leto, as the slightly lascivious Skeletor—is more than brand management.Next, they turn to the wild, surreal revenge thriller Is God Is, written and directed by Aleshea Harris based on her stageplay. They talk about how this tale of twin sisters seeking vengeance fits into the growing pantheon of Black horror as well as the ancient canon of revenge tragedies.Finally, and for the final time, it's time to talk about Taylor Swift. In the wake of her newest release, the song “I Knew It, I Knew You” for the Toy Story 5 soundtrack, the gang assembles one more time to take up the long-simmering Tay debate. Jody Rosen and Julia jump on the call/enter the Thunderdome for this, of course. In a bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, the panel pours one out for the recently shuttered Hampshire College and reflects on the changing landscape of the liberal arts.EndorsementsDana: The interactive, Jazz-playing, transit-obsessed, single purpose website Train Jazz. (Hat tip once more to Rusty Foster's Today in Tabs.)Nadira: The Black Film Archive which showcases Black films made from 1898 to 1999 currently streaming. Also, the year 2016 in music. Jody: For some Gabfest replacement therapy, watching academic lectures on YouTube such as the lectures of art historian John Walsh at Yale Art Galleries—including ones on Vincent Van Gogh and Dutch masters— and cultural historian Eric Lott on Racial Masquerade in America and Philippe Petit's legendary tightrope walk between the Twin Towers. Julia: Patrick Radden Keefe's new book London Falling and the song "Come Tomorrow" by Patti Scialfa.Steve: Following up on last week's endorsement, Steve can confirm that Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee is, in fact, good. Also recommended: Offshore by Penelope Fitzgerald. --Email us your thoughts at culturefest@slate.com. Podcast production by Benjamin Frisch.

Co to jest klauzula zawodowa w ubezpieczeniu na życie?Kupujesz ubezpieczenie na życie... i myślisz że jesteś chroniony.Ale czy Twój zawód jest objęty ochroną?To pytanie jest kluczowe... szczególnie jeśli pracujesz w zawodzie wysokiego ryzyka.Czym jest klauzula zawodowa?To zapis w umowie ubezpieczenia na życie... który modyfikuje zakres ochrony lub wysokość składki... w zależności od wykonywanego zawodu.W praktyce oznacza to jedno.Marynarz... nurek przemysłowy... monter turbin wiatrowych... płaci wyższą składkę niż pracownik biurowy... przy tej samej sumie ubezpieczenia.Bo towarzystwo wycenia ryzyko proporcjonalnie do rzeczywistego zagrożenia zawodowego.Klauzula zawodowa może działać na dwa sposoby.Pierwszy... dopłata do składki za wykonywanie zawodu wysokiego ryzyka.Drugi... i to jest najczęstsza pułapka... wyłączenie ochrony dla zdarzeń bezpośrednio związanych z pracą zawodową.Co to oznacza w praktyce?Podpisujesz umowę... płacisz składkę... i myślisz że jesteś chroniony.A gdy coś się dzieje podczas wykonywania obowiązków zawodowych... okazuje się że właśnie to zdarzenie jest wyłączone z zakresu polisy.Dlatego przed podpisaniem umowy... zadaj doradcy jedno pytanie.Czy zdarzenie które przydarzy mi się podczas wykonywania moich obowiązków zawodowych... jest objęte ochroną... czy wyłączone z zakresu polisy?Odpowiedź na to pytanie decyduje o tym... czy ubezpieczenie realnie chroni Twój zawód... czy jedynie stwarza pozory ochrony.Link do szczegółów znajdziesz w opisie tego odcinka.Dowiedz się więcejO mnie - nazywam się Marcin Kowalik – Pomagam dobrać i zawrzeć ubezpieczenie od utraty dochodu, ubezpieczenie na życie czy polisy emerytalne na ubezpieczeniapoludzku.pl.

Most contractors think offshoring is about saving money. It's actually about creating leverage.John Wilson and Jack Carr break down how offshore teams helped them scale faster, build better systems, and free up key leaders to focus on growth. They share exactly which roles to offshore, what to keep in-house, and the leadership lessons they've learned after managing dozens of remote team members across recruiting, dispatch, accounting, marketing, and customer service.What you'll learn:→ Which roles should be offshored first (and which shouldn't)→ The judgment vs. process framework for hiring decisions→ How offshore teams force better systems and accountability→ Why SOPs matter more than geography→ How to structure dispatch, CSR, recruiting, and accounting teams————————————————

Following my recent pieces on Namibia, several readers got in touch asking pretty much the same question: Fine. But how do you actually invest there?Frontier markets are notoriously difficult to access. Interesting companies are privately owned, illiquid, unlisted or buried on obscure exchanges your broker has never heard of, or they carry their own small company risk that does not reflect the broader themes of the country.To try and answer the question properly, I spoke to economist Rowland Brown, founder of Cirrus Capital, the country's largest stockbroker, to discuss the best ways to invest in Namibia and where he sees the biggest opportunities.The full interview follows, but here are 7 things that stood out to me.1. Namibia's growth could accelerate dramaticallyNamibia has averaged around 4.5% annual growth since independence in 1990. But Brown thinks the next decade could look very different. The reason is oil.Offshore discoveries by majors such as Shell plc and TotalEnergies could transform the country's fiscal position. Brown estimates that production of 450,000 barrels per day by 2030 could increase government revenues by roughly 60%, which is quite frankly an astonishing number.Namibia today has a population of roughly 3 million people. It is rich in uranium, diamonds, copper, gold and fisheries. Add large-scale oil production and the country starts to look strategically very important.2. The banks are surprisingly attractiveOne thing I had not appreciated before speaking to Brown was how profitable Namibian banks are. According to him, the major listed banks are producing returns on equity of roughly 20-30%, while trading on earnings multiples of only four to five times.The problem is that these banks are listed only on the Namibian Stock Exchange, meaning overseas investors generally need a local broker to access them.The main players include Standard Bank Namibia, First National Bank Namibia and Capricorn GroupBrown is particularly positive on Standard Bank Namibia because of its positioning for both the uranium and oil industries. Chinese involvement in Namibian uranium mining has also strengthened relationships and financing channels there.3. But there is also a way to buy Namibian government debtThis was another thing I did not know. There is an exchange traded Namibian government bond index called STXNAM, tradable in Johannesburg.Namibian government debt currently yields around 12%, while inflation is around 3%, according to Brown.That obviously comes with frontier-market risk, but Namibia's debt position is arguably stronger than many developed countries. Roughly 80% of the debt is domestically owned, largely by pension funds and banks.Unlike other countries I could mention, Namibia has not yet completely financialised itself into oblivion. Ahem.If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I use and recommend is The Pure Gold Company. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe. More here.4. Uranium remains one of the biggest long-term themesNamibia is already the world's third-largest uranium producer - a lot of that uranium is at the margin. China has a role to play in this. Chinese investors came into Namibian uranium aggressively after Fukushima , when uranium prices were deeply depressed and western capital had largely disappeared.With uranium prices having recovered, those investments are working. We discussed various companies operating in Namibia including Paladin and Deep Yellow, the problem is that many of them are multi-jurisdictional, so you don't get the pure country play. ASX-listed Bannerman Energy (ASX:BMN) is the closest to being a near-pure Namibia uranium play.5. Oil exposure is harder than you thinkAs with uranium, the oil frustration is that the obvious opportunities are often buried inside giant conglomerates.Brown mentioned Sintana Energy (SEI.V), Hosken Consolidated Investments (HCI), which holds a near-50% stake in London-based, privately owned Impact Oil & Gas, which owns significant exploration rights in the Venus discovery offshore Namibia, and Reconnaissance Energy Africa (RECO.V). ReconAfrica is a speculative onshore exploration story and Brown was careful to stress that it remains high risk.6. Copper may ultimately become the biggest storyOne company we discussed at length was Koryx Copper (KRY.V), which is now a development story rather than a speculative discovery punt.The project benefits from simple geology and open-pit potential, good access to roads and ports, nearby power and water infrastructure and significant associated goldBrown repeatedly emphasised on management quality, and I actually met the boss too while I was out there - Heye Dawn - an impressive man. Junior mining is littered with “lifestyle companies”. This is not one of those situations, though it remains speculative mining investment and is vulnerable to falling copper prices, being quite low grade. But I am quite bullish about copper, as you know.7. The currency question is fascinatingNamibia's currency is pegged to the South African rand. The rand is not exactly the Swiss franc.But Brown made an interesting point: without the peg, Namibia's currency would probably be wildly volatile because of the country's dependence on commodity exports. So the peg may actually make Namibia more investable, not less.Longer term, if oil revenues become large enough, Namibia could gain greater flexibility, perhaps moving towards some form of trade-weighted currency basket more heavily linked to the US dollar.That is speculative for now, albeit interesting.Anyway, enough from me.The full interview with Rowland Brown follows. For those who want to go deeper into the weeds on Namibia, uranium, copper, oil, banks and frontier-market investing, I recommend you listen. Brown knows his onions. And you can contact Rowland via Cirrus Capital.One thing becomes very clear very quickly. Namibia may still be a small frontier market, but it no longer feels peripheral.Thank you for being a subscriber to The Flying Frisby.Until next time,Dominic This is a public episode.

In this episode of InSights, Brad Bialy sits down with Greg Fischer to unpack why most offshore hiring fails before it even begins and how the best staffing firms use global talent to remove bottlenecks, increase trust, and scale without burning out their team. About the Guest Greg Fischer is the founder of Well Oiled Machine and former CEO of AMI Network, where he scaled the business to $4.2M in gross profit with nearly half the team based outside the U.S. After spending 18 months failing to make offshore hiring work, Greg developed a repeatable framework for building integrated global teams across recruiting, sourcing, operations, and sales. Today, he helps staffing firms avoid the costly mistakes most agencies repeat when trying to scale with international talent. Key Takeaways Clarity scales faster than hustle. Cheap labor becomes expensive leadership. Trust creates performance. Bottlenecks don't disappear — they relocate. Great teams aren't divided by geography.

Hello and welcome to Episode 325 of The People Powered Business Podcast.Are you stuck doing everything yourself because handing work over feels harder than just getting it done? Maybe you've thought about hiring a virtual assistant before, but the whole process feels confusing, risky, or like one more thing to manage when you're already flat out putting out fires in your business.This week I'm sharing a conversation from The Australian Small Business Show, where I joined Kristy Smith from Virtual Elves to talk about what business owners really need to know about working with offshore virtual assistants. I wanted to bring this conversation to you because I keep seeing small business owners hit capacity, but assume their only option is hiring locally into a permanent role. The reality is there are far more flexible ways to get support in your business, if you approach it strategically.We unpack how the role of a “VA” has changed over the years and why businesses now have access to highly skilled global talent across administration, bookkeeping, customer service, marketing, SEO, and more. We also talk honestly about the mistakes many business owners make when hiring offshore support, including expecting one person to magically do every job in the business. One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that success with virtual assistants has far less to do with where someone is located, and far more to do with your systems, communication, leadership, and expectations. If you've ever wondered whether offshore support could help you buy back time, reduce overwhelm, and stop being the bottleneck in your business, this conversation will give you practical insights to help you decide what could work for you.In this episode we cover:How offshore virtual assistants can support growing small businessesWhy expecting one VA to “do everything” usually creates problemsThe types of specialised skills now available through global talentWhy systems, processes, and clear briefs matter more than locationThe legal and risk considerations business owners need to understand when hiring internationallyLinks & Resources:Join People Powered HR:https://www.peoplepoweredbusiness.com.au/pphrDM me on Instagram @kristy.lee.billettConnect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristyleebillett/Email me at hello@peoplepoweredbusiness.com.auBook a 15-minute clarity call:https://calendly.com/kristyleebillett/chatWhat this episode coversHiring support in a small business does not always mean bringing on a local employee straight away. Offshore virtual assistants can provide specialised support across administration, bookkeeping, customer service, marketing, and operations, helping business owners free up time and focus on higher value work.This episode explores how to successfully work with offshore team members, what realistic expectations look like, and why strong systems and communication are essential if you want outsourcing to actually reduce stress instead of creating more work.Key insight from this episodeThe success of an offshore virtual assistant arrangement is rarely determined by where the person lives. The businesses that get the best results are the ones with clear systems, defined responsibilities, realistic expectations, and strong leadership. Outsourcing without structure simply shifts the chaos to someone else.What you'll take awayUnderstand the different types of work that can realistically be outsourced to virtual assistantsLearn why hiring multiple specialists is often more effective than relying on one generalistIdentify the systems and processes you need before bringing on offshore supportRecognise the common mistakes business owners make when outsourcing work internationallyGain a clearer understanding of the legal and operational considerations involved in offshore hiring

Austin and I talked about what entrepreneurship actually looks like when you start from nothing. I shared how my first business began by simply trading my time for money and why learning sales is the foundation of building any company. We discussed the early hustle behind Storage Squad, including chalk marketing on college campuses and hiring great people in unexpected places, along with the moment founders need to start delegating so they can focus on growth. We also got into leadership, decision making, and why removing low performers is critical to building strong teams, along with how global hiring has become one of the biggest advantages across the companies I run today.

Wind and solar resources are providing more clean, low-cost electricity to the grid than ever before, but the intermittent nature of renewable generation requires careful planning. In the latest episode of the Power Trends podcast, NYISO Director of Grid Transition Udayan Nair breaks down what the latest data reveals about wind and solar performance, and what it means for reliability in New York as electricity demand continues to grow.Notably, the electric grid has seen remarkable growth in behind-the-meter solar capacity in recent years, surpassing the solar goal in the state's Climate Leadership Community Protection Act (CLCPA).“We had a goal in CLCPA to reach 6000 megawatts by 2025,” Nair said. “We were at over 6,800 megawatts of capacity last year and it's grown by about 1,000 megawatts per year since 2020. That's a remarkable success in terms of the capacity that has been added to the grid.”Front-of-the-meter solar, which refers to grid-connected solar installments that participate in the NYISO's energy markets, has also seen increased capacity in recent years. While no new wind installments were added in 2025, existing units performed better than usual due to stronger wind patterns, Nair said. Nair discussed factors that contribute to renewable performance, including seasonal weather, demand patterns, and curtailments. He explained why solar and wind must be paired with transmission, storage, and flexible resources to keep the grid reliable, particularly during summer heat waves and winter cold snaps. The latest renewables data showcases the growing contribution of renewables in the current fuel mix and underscores the need for an all-of-the-above approach to development as New York's electric system continues to evolve.

Most sailors obsess over boat gear and weather routing — but Andy Schell argues the single most important factor in a successful offshore passage is something almost nobody talks about: your mental state. Drawing on marathon training philosophy, solo circumnavigation stories, and his own mid-Atlantic spiritual awakening, this seminar reframes ocean sailing as an emotional journey with predictable stages — and teaches you how to navigate each one. This episode was originally recorded as a live seminar back in 2014, before 59º North was even a thing.

Allen Hall 2025: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. I’m your host, Allen Hall, and I’m here with Rosemary Barnes, who’s been busy in Australia up in Sydney at a energy conference. Rosemary, what happened this past week? Rosemary Barnes: Oh, yeah. I’ve been up in Sydney for the Smart Energy Conference and Exhibition. It’s a big… I don’t know if it’s the biggest. I think they get about 12,000 people or something through the doors. So yeah, it’s, it’s one of the big, maybe the biggest, um, energy conference in Australia. It’s really focused on distributed energy households. So in the past, it was, like, nearly all solar, um, like rooftop solar. There used to be lots of installers that were there and, yeah, there’s heaps of solar [00:01:00] panels around in the exhibition hall. And over the last few years it’s been a mix of batteries and solar, and then now this year it was basically 99% batteries, 1% EV chargers, and almost not a solar panel to be seen. I didn’t actually spend that much time in the exhibition this year. I mostly was, um, attending sessions. Andrew Forrest from Fortescue headlined, and that was really good. I haven’t seen him speak live before. Y- you know, he, he told about all the, like, good plans that Fortescue’s doing to get to real zero by 2030. So he’s on a real rampage at the moment to try and get rid of the diesel rebate that we pay at the moment. We pay diesel users a, a, yeah, a fuel, fuel rebate. It was just cool to hear about y- you know, all of Fortescue’s plans, why they’ve got this big green grid that they’re building out in the Pilbara. Um, I really liked when he said, you know, it’s not, it’s not magic, it’s, um, it’s just, what did he say? Like, maths, physics, engineering, and [00:02:00]economics, and a bit of courageous leadership. That’s what you need to make a green, a green electricity grid. So I really like that the, you know, engineering was mentioned, was mentioned there. I did actually get the chance to ask him a question, too. Wanted to know, um, you know, like, Fortescue is, is really one of the most interesting things about the company is that they are using brand-new technologies or even not quite there yet technologies. I asked, uh, Andrew Forrest, I asked him, you know, like, how you make these bold, bold decisions, does it ever, you know, worry you that it’s not gonna work out? And I was assuming he would say, “It doesn’t worry me,” um, because, you know, he has that kind of brash, confident personality. So I, you know, my follow-up was, what, what steps do you take so that you aren’t worried by it? And he said it does worry him, and he s- stays awake every night worrying, worrying about if these technologies aren’t going to work. And that, uh, basically they try and have a really, really solid plan B that isn’t a [00:03:00] brand-new technology. So, um, you can, you know, infer from that, that if the– I mean, first of all, he said, “We don’t invest in the technology until they have demons- demonstrated with a good prototype that it’s likely to work.” Um, but I guess that, you know, assuming that they’ve ran into problems in the rollout of all of these Naberebo towers, that, um, they have a backup of some conventional towers. Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, the, the Fortescue people, when we talked to them about, pfoof, probably six months ago, maybe a little bit longer, we were helping to build a farm out in Western Australia. It was a small team, much smaller than anything you would see in the US, and it does sort of align with the Australian approach to it, is that you don’t need a massive team of people to do these projects. You just need to know what you’re doing, and that was really remarkable. So e- I’m not surprised that Fortescue is continuing on in, in different aspects. It does seem like they’re pretty bold about their engineering approach and taking on massive projects that otherwise wouldn’t be [00:04:00] done and- Rosemary Barnes: It, it’s also really cool to hear, uh, Andrew Forrest or anyone from Fortescue talk because they’re talking about things that they’ve done. You know, like we have so much when you’re at these, uh, events and, you know, everyone’s doing these inspiring talks, it’s always about, “Oh, this is the possibility for the future.” But Fortescue has actually, has actually done it. Yeah, there was a lot of, like, actual progress discussed at this conference. It wasn’t, “This is what we could do if we all joined hands and sang Kumbaya.” It wasn’t like that, you know? It’s like, this is what’s happening when the engineering is there, the economics are there, and the government isn’t standing in the way. Um, y- you know, you can make a lot of, a lot of progress. And you know what? Like now we’ve got so much distributed energy in Australia. It’s the rooftop solar that we’ve been building for, you know, 20 years by now. Um, and it’s the, the batteries especially. Like it is a- starting to have a noticeable impact on electricity prices, and co- coal and gas are both reducing in the grid. I think the last quarter of gas use in Australia was the lowest it’s [00:05:00] been since 1999. Like, um, yeah, so it’s, yeah, it’s, it, it’s dropping, you know? And so I think that that’s a really unique story for Australia is that households can actually really change the dial. Speaker 2: Well, can I ask you about that? Because the data center issue is popping up again in the United States, and one of the things about data centers is they feel like you, you’re gonna need a good amount of batteries to support if the grid hops on or turns off, that they wanna be able to support this data center, so having a buffer and batteries would make a lot of sense. However, there’s not a lot of battery storage in the US at the minute versus a place like Australia where there’s a lot of it. Doesn’t it make a lot of sense to start putting data centers in Australia? I still don’t understand Why that hasn’t been done? Because electricity prices are cheaper, the land is available, the infrastructure’s there. It’s going [00:06:00] to be, you would think, easier to build in Australia than it would be in the United States. What’s the dilemma there? Rosemary Barnes: I think certainly there are plenty of plans to build big data centers in Australia. Um, and now I’m gonna go, like, move a little bit outside my expertise, but I think that one of the issues is that at the moment, a lot of the data centers need to be quite close to where the work is happening. So I mean, you’re always gonna need data centers close to any big city where people are, are using the internet. Um, but aside from that, you know, like, the tech sector in the US is much bigger, so the people actually developing, um, you know, training, um, uh, yeah, training AI models, um, are more likely to be sitting in the US and, you know, need a large amount… Not all of their compute needs to happen nearby, but a fair chunk of it. And so I think that that is one reason why so far that’s where it is. Um, but it also doesn’t mean… I mean, there’s [00:07:00] plenty of smart, um smart computer types in Australia as well as the US, so you could start to see more companies moving, um, moving to where electricity is cheap. I think that– And grid connections are fast. Speaker 2: The one thing you notice about using any of the AI platforms today is, like, there’s a built-in delay. Unlike when you’re on Amazon or any other s- active site, when you click, you want something to happen immediately. With AI, they, they build in a little wait process, which means you can have a data center anywhere, because you’re not expecting an instantaneous response from it. That means, in a sense, they’re setting it up to be a global industry. There is more of a delay now than there was a month ago. And I assume that has to do with usage, and they’re trying to manage all the data usage, right? So electricity is one of the limitations in the United States. That’s evident right now. The amount of data centers is a problem, so they’re trying to spread out the usage, and they are definitely… At least Anthropic is slowing it down. [00:08:00] I’d imagine all the other ones are doing the same thing. So it does open up the world to cheaper electricity. Rosemary Barnes: There’s heaps of really interesting work happening in trying to get, um, AI and data centers to be better grid citizens, not probably primarily out of the goodness of their heart, but because of two things. One, grid connections are really slow, and so there’s a strong incentive that you can save, in some places, years off your development time if you can just bring in enough batteries, enough smart tech to make sure that you’re never going to, um, you know, add to peak, peak load in the grid, then you can- You know, change how things go. It’s also a matter of, like, social license as well, because at the moment it’s probably not too bad. People don’t realize too much. But if people’s electricity prices start going up because, you know, grid had to be built out because of da- data centers, they’re gonna start getting pissed as soon as they realize what that is. So I think [00:09:00] that, um, you know, these big companies, what do they call them? Hyperscalers. I think that they’re aware that that is gonna come and that that is a really strong incentive to do the right thing before they are made to do the right thing. Because, you know, like, if people got really upset then, um, you could easily have the rug pulled out from underneath a project that you thought was all set to go ahead, you know, could very easily be delayed indefinitely. I mean, we’ve definitely seen in the US that- Speaker 2: Right. In 30 states in the US have already put prohibitions or limitations on data centers. That means there’s only 20 states left. Alaska is probably not a prime choice, Hawaii is not either, so you even have fewer. It does seem odd that when these limitations pop up that the discussion doesn’t move to other countries. Australia being an easy one, because electricity there is practically free. It seems like a smart move, but they haven’t made it yet. Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, I mean, it’s not, it’s not [00:10:00] practically free in Australia yet, but I think that the, um, horizon, um, like the, you know, the outlook is it’s, it’s getting cheap. We… And we are finally seeing wholesale prices actually start to come down. But there’s this really awkward middle period though, you know, like, because, um, at the moment we’ve still got all of the… nearly all of the coal generation there, nearly all of the gas generation is there, and you need to have it there until you build out the other stuff. But it’s like prices drop and drop and drop when you’ve got this oversupply problem. But you’re gonna have the oversupply problem until you’ve got enough to start turning off, you know, gigawatt, two gigawatt, um, thermal generators. So it is a really weird middle, um, mid- mid-transition, I think is the term for it. You need planning. You know, you need… You actually do need… At some point you need a plan, and you need to execute it and expect that, like, every step you take is not gonna be better. Y- you know, like [00:11:00] some steps you’re gonna take that are gonna make it, um, economically worse for the short term. But, you know, like, if you’ve got a mountain range in between you and your destination, then yeah, like it’s, it’s really hard going for a while. But you’ve gotta climb that mountain if you wanna get to the other side and, um, you, and you, you can’t do that without a plan. Speaker 2: Well, what other place on the planet has or will have shortly unused gigawatts of old generation? I don’t think I know of one. It, it’s gonna be Australia So th-those gigawatt plants that were thermal plants that won’t be needed ’cause the price of electricity is so low, it does seem like a smart person would put a data center right next door to it. Rosemary Barnes: No, but we wanna turn ’em off. I Speaker 2: don’t think you’re gonna be able to, Rosemary. I’m just saying, the world needs, uh, AI and it’s coming. Rosemary Barnes: We’ll see. I think that, um, you know, I did get quite energized by the event, the, um, SSE event that I was at this week because it’s like there are a few things that [00:12:00] Australia, um, you know, really has, like, an opportunity to be world leaders in. And when you get to be the leader, then it means that the technologies that you invent to solve the problems that, you know, the early adopters have, you have the headstart on that. And, you know, as other countries follow in your footsteps, you have the opportunity to lead, lead those technologies. Speaker 2: As wind energy professionals, staying informed is crucial, and let’s face it, difficult. That’s why “The Uptime Podcast” recommends PES Wind Magazine. PES Wind offers a diverse range of in-depth articles and expert insights that dive into the most pressing issues facing our energy future. Whether you’re an industry veteran or new to wind, PES Wind has the high-quality content you need. Don’t miss out. Visit peswind.com today. So if you want to build an offshore wind farm in Europe right now, you had better be ready to pay. A new analysis from Rystad Energy shows that the turbine selling prices have jumped between 40% and 45% [00:13:00] since 2020. And here’s the thing, manufacturing costs only went up about 20% to 25% over the same period. The difference is pure pricing power. And with GE Vernova out of the new offshore order book and only Siemens Gamesa and Vestas left to supply Western markets, developers are facing a seller’s market in the most critical of components. Nacelles and blades are where the bottleneck hits hardest, and there is no quick fix in sight. So Rosemary, Siemens Gamesa and Vestas are leveraging the, the lack of com- competition, particularly from China at the moment, to gather market share and to raise prices, which I think everybody would agree if you’re on the engineering side of wind turbines, the prices needed to come up because there’s some work that needs to be done, and the engineering side has been pretty thin. To make these turbines more resilient, [00:14:00] you’re gonna need more engineering, it can be a little bit more on the manufacturing side. That takes money So prices had to come up Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, I mean, I, I, I agree. It’s definitely n- not the case that everyone would agree. Anybody who has a spreadsheet and they’re trying to get the number, number right so that they can develop a new project is gonna say that it’s a bad thing, and it will also probably slow down development a little bit. Although, I guess if there was a supply constraint, then that was already a natural, um, handbrake, so maybe there’s no difference. But I do think that, um, you know, and I’ve said it a lot of times, like, you know, wind power reduced, it had a really steep cost reduction curve through the 20-teens, and I think that it was just artificial. You know, like it was driven by competition rather than true cost reductions in the technology. I think we undershot the price level that it needed to go for, and there just wasn’t enough money to do proper engineering, and, you know, w- we see that. Y- you know, you and I work in O&M, and we deal ev- every day with, with things where it’s like how did, [00:15:00] uh, how, how did they think that this technology was ready when they went and sold thousands of turbines with it? And I know that the answer is not that, um, engineers were lazy or stupid or just didn’t s- see the problems coming up. It was just too, too fast a pace of technology, um, rollout, like new technologies combined with just relentless focus on, on cost. You know, like all of my projects, it’s just like you just have to reduce cost and reduce it and reduce it and reduce it and, you know, to the point where you’re making changes that you don’t have time to fully check. Um, and, you know, then you have quality problems in the field. Speaker 2: What’s the effect of an Indian manufacturing company in Europe on the offshore marketplace? If like an Adani or one of the other, Suzlon, one of the, one of the big manufacturers in India decides to make offshore wind turbines at scale, [00:16:00] wouldn’t that dramatically shift the marketplace in Europe? Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, I guess if you’ve got a new player, it’s always gonna shift things a bit. I don’t think it matters specifically that it’s Indian. Um, but a new player is gonna wanna be making sales and probably, you know, setting their price at the point that, that they need to, to, um, get those sales, maybe not initially worried so much about profits. If we were talking about Chinese manufacturers in Europe, and we have in the past, if we’re talking about that, then I think that that is a bit more relevant which, which country it is because China, you know, has just like essentially infinite money to put behind it and can keep on going long enough. You know, like they don’t need to make a, a profit every single year or every single five-year period even. They can think longer term. I, I, as far as I know, India is not quite the same as that, so I would expect it to be a bit more short-lived, but that’s always the risk that, you know, someone comes in and [00:17:00] undercuts, um, undercuts for long enough that it- causes the local local, uh, manufacturers to not be able to compete and shut down Speaker 2: Well, just knowing some of the operators that were doing offshore wind projects and their desire to bring in a alternative to keep prices to the level that they could accept, with Mingyang being shut out at the minute, they’re gonna have to look somewhere else. So I think the only place they can find an alternative lower price competitor is gonna be India. Although the turbines aren’t at scale yet, I, I think you’ll see somebody make noise about it in the next six months on the operations side. Rosemary Barnes: I think the European manufacturer is a probably better place to just scale up. Speaker 2: Well, let’s talk about GE Vernova for a minute, because the legal fight over America’s first large off-scale wind farm just got more complicated because Vineyard Wind reached commercial operations on April 24th, about a week or [00:18:00] two ago, and activated its purchase power agreement. Well, uh, now GE Vernova is using those very milestones against Vineyard Wind in court. GE Vernova filed an emergency motion arguing that the activation of those contracts undermines Vineyard Wind’s claims of irreparable harm. But Vineyard Wind’s attorney says the project is generating at less than half of its 806 megawatts capacity, and GE Vernova’s work is still needed to get it there. The next court hearing is set for this week. This little battle continues, and it’s– Although it seems fairly quiet, you don’t hear a lot of news reports about it in, uh, particularly the mainstream press, not too much about it, it– this has huge ramifications because as we talked about offshore wind over in Europe, if, if GE is truly getting out, and particularly if they’re in a fight with one of their largest purchasers of turbines, it’s gonna [00:19:00] disincentivize Europeans from even considering GE. In my opinion, I don’t know how you would think that GE would be one of the options. Although you would like to have three competitors bidding on every project in Europe, I think GE’s taken itself out of the marketplace because of this, this lawsuit. Rosemary Barnes: Mm. You know what it reminds me of? It, um, it reminds me of the Justin Baldoni versus Blake Lively lawsuit that’s ongoing at the moment, where it’s just, like, mutually assured destruction. Speaker 2: But at least they settled, Rosemary. They’re, they’re not fighting anymore. Rosemary Barnes: They settled, but they didn’t settle all aspects of it. Speaker 2: The only reason I know about that is because you keep mentioning it. So when I see it pop up, I would normally just let it go. But I figured Rosemary’s focused on this, I should probably at least dabble in it briefly. That wraps up another episode of the Uptime Wind Energy podcast.

Gerard and Laurent welcome Tinne Van der Straeten, CEO of WindEurope—the leading voice of the wind industry in Europe, representing more than 600 members across the entire value chain. Tinne brings a distinctive perspective to the discussion. As Belgium's Minister for Energy during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, she experienced an energy crisis firsthand. Her background in policymaking offers a different vantage point from that of investors, shaped by the practical realities and trade-offs of government decision-making. The conversation highlights that, despite ongoing challenges, wind energy continues to expand rapidly across Europe, with €45 billion in final investment decisions recorded in 2025. There is now a clear opportunity to repower first-generation onshore turbines, which could double installed capacity and potentially triple electricity generation. Offshore wind also stands out as a major growth area, with the North Sea remaining the central hub, while the Baltic Sea is developing steadily and early signs of momentum are emerging in Spain. At the same time, the discussion points to the persistence of outdated, ideologically driven debates around energy sources—such as gas in Germany or nuclear in France—which increasingly feel disconnected from current realities. Policies like bans on onshore wind in Poland and offshore wind in Sweden illustrate decisions that risk slowing progress. A central theme is the urgent need to electrify demand, particularly through the adoption of electric vehicles, heat pumps, and the expansion of data centers. The conversation concludes by emphasizing that the missing piece is a large, integrated pan-European grid—potentially extending to Canada—combined with battery storage. Such infrastructure would accelerate decarbonization, support economic resilience, and help Europe regain control over its energy future.Sources:GWEC 2026 https://www.gwec.net/reports/globalwindreportWindEurope Wind Energy Statistics and Outlook Report https://windeurope.org/news/europe-invested-45bn-in-new-wind-energy-in-2025-market-tampering-would-put-future-investments-at-acute-risk/ WindEurope energy system cost study: https://windeurope.org/news/a-renewables-based-energy-system-will-save-europe-1-6-trillion/
On this week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report, Butch Thierry checks in with Capt. Richard Rutland, Capt. Branden Collier, and McCoy Outdoor's Chip Duepree for a packed report on a coast that seems ready to bust loose. Capt. Richard Rutland breaks down a strong inshore bite from the north end of Mobile Bay to the barrier islands, with speckled trout, redfish, and flounder showing up around bait, grass, beaches, ledges, rocks, and marsh edges. Capt. Branden Collier reports trout scattered from shallow rock lines in the bay to the barrier islands, big flounder mixed in, redfish and trout on rigs, Spanish mackerel nearshore, and an offshore bite loaded with beeliners, triggerfish, red snapper, red grouper, and other bottom fish. The episode wraps up with Chip Duepree from McCoy Outdoor, one of the show's newest sponsors, talking about McCoy's long history in Mobile and how the shop is staying stocked with the saltwater tackle, fly gear, local lures, and fishing knowledge Gulf Coast anglers need right now.

H.W. Brands examines Lindbergh's 1941 congressional testimony challenging the administration's narrative, arguing that air power actually strengthens hemispheric defense, allowing America to intercept invading armadas 300 miles offshore. Rejecting the "isolationist" label, Lindbergh proposes a robust defense of the Western Hemisphere rather than the Rhine, drawing thousands to rallies while adopting sharper rhetoric branding interventionists as "defeatists."
