Podcasts about power grid

In today's episode, Stig Brodersen is joined by Manish Karira and Ralph Summerford for a bull and bear debate on CATL, the world's largest battery maker. Manish presents the bull case, arguing that a company most listeners have never heard of is becoming the backbone of the global energy infrastructure, powering EVs, stabilizing power grids, and feeding AI data centers. Ralph, a forensic accountant, presents the bear case, digging into price deflation, geopolitical risk, and whether CATL's US licensing model is capital-light growth or a defensive retreat. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: (00:00:00) Intro (00:02:58) Why Manish is bullish on CATL, the world's largest battery maker with 40% global market share and a founder-led culture of relentless R&D. (00:14:43) Why energy storage for AI data centers and the LRS licensing model in the US are two growth engines the market may not have fully priced in. (00:30:59) The bear case for CATL, including price deflation, a temporary margin windfall, the unwinding of its interest-free supplier float, and key-man risk. (00:58:28) How battery swapping and leasing could transform CATL from selling a battery once to owning the asset for its entire lifetime. (01:03:09) How to think about CATL's valuation at 18 times operating profit, its 150+ strategic stakes including DeepSeek, and why the Hong Kong shares trade at a premium to the mainland listing.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the future of California's energy landscape. The state's push for clean energy has led to some surprising consequences, and our guest, Susan Shelley, is here to break it down. From the challenges of relying on solar power to the hidden costs of the state's green energy policies, we're diving into the numbers and exploring the real impact on Californians. California's pursuit of a cleaner, greener future has been a top priority, but the results are mixed. The state's reliance on solar power has led to some impressive milestones, but the reality is that the sun doesn't shine at night, and batteries can't keep up. Meanwhile, the cost of electricity has skyrocketed, with rates increasing by 100% in just 10 years. Our guest, Susan Shelley, is a columnist for the Southern California News Group and a regular voice on the Howard Jarvis Radio Show. She's here to share her expertise and offer a critical perspective on the state's energy policies. One of the key issues is the state's reliance on imported electricity, which can be affected by factors like wildfires and transmission line issues. The cost of this imported electricity is then passed on to ratepayers, making it difficult for people to afford their bills. Susan also discusses the challenges of the state's push for electric vehicles, including the lack of fast chargers and the limitations of solar power. She argues that the state's policies are more about showmanship than practicality, and that the real costs are being borne by Californians. If you're concerned about the future of California's energy landscape, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we explore the challenges and consequences of the state's green energy policies, and hear from our guest, Susan Shelley, about what needs to change.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has reaffirmed government's commitment to unbundling Eskom by backing the creation of an independent transmission system operator, despite resistance from within the utility. The move is intended to create a more competitive electricity market and expand grid capacity, but concerns remain over Eskom's financial sustainability, the loss of transmission assets and the growing burden of municipal debt. Energy analyst Professor Sampson Mamphweli explains what these reforms could mean for South Africa's power sector and electricity consumers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AI infrastructure is expanding faster than the power systems required to support it. A data center can be built in two to three years, while a new power plant or transmission line may take seven to nine years. That gap puts utilities at the center of the next phase of AI growth.Vik Chaudhry, cofounder and CTO of Buzz Solutions, explains how utilities are using visual AI, computer vision, drones, and infrastructure data to find defects, prioritize maintenance, prevent outages, and reduce wildfire risk. He also discusses how AI can help utilities uncover existing grid capacity, forecast unpredictable demand, control operating costs, and preserve knowledge as experienced workers retire.What You'll Take Away• Why electricity, not computing chips, may become the largest constraint on AI growth• How utilities can extract more capacity from existing infrastructure while new power generation is built• Where visual AI helps teams prioritize inspections, repairs, and maintenance spending• How AI can improve load forecasting and transfer knowledge to the next generation of utility workersA Moment Worth Pulling Out“The biggest problem for AI right now is not the chips. It's the electrons.”Key MomentsApproximate timestamps based on the transcript.00:45 How Buzz Solutions uses visual AI to assess power infrastructure03:05 Why utilities began building internal AI teams and governance processes06:45 The energy constraint behind data center and AI expansion08:20 Why data centers can be built much faster than new power infrastructure11:50 Balancing data center demand with affordability for consumers26:35 Using AI for load forecasting and utility workforce knowledge transferFollow The Tech Trek for more conversations about how technical teams are building and operating around AI, data, platforms, product, and engineering.

These sources analyze the escalating financial and technical requirements involved in developing cutting-edge artificial intelligence. Research from Epoch AI indicates that frontier model training costs are surging by up to three times annually, with projections suggesting individual runs could exceed one billion dollars by 2027. This economic pressure is driving a strategic shift toward post-training enhancements and algorithmic efficiency, as seen with GPT-5 utilizing less compute than its predecessor to achieve superior results. Simultaneously, hardware advancements like NVIDIA's B200 GPUs are becoming essential; despite higher hourly rates, their increased memory capacity significantly reduces the total cost and time required for large-scale workloads. Ultimately, the data suggests that while innovation in reasoning techniques can temporarily offset expenses, the long-term trend points toward a return to massive infrastructure investment. Consequently, the future of AI development appears increasingly restricted to the world's most well-funded organizations.

TAP INTO THE ANCIENT PRIESTESS POWER GRIDIn this goddess-focused interview on THE SOULFAM PODCAST, host Diana Marcketta connects with The Pythian Priestess (@pythianpriestess) for a remarkable exchange between two high-frequency women devoted to consciousness, healing, and embodied wisdom. Known for opening the door to WITCHTOK on TikTok, the Pythian Priestess shares her journey from age 4, where she recognized her interest in priestesshood, to now where she not only holds and guides the emotional, spiritual journey of others but offers both online and in person instruction through the Pythian Mystery School. (The Priestess is also known for her exploration into the paranormal with Sam and Colby ( ⁨@samandcolby⁩    • A Murder Mystery: Hauntings of SK Mansion ...  ) the dynamic duo whose videos break all the rules of paranormal investigation! Truly a delight in the world of paranormal investigation.)In this history-rich interview that traces priestesshood to BCE, Diana and the Pythian Priestess explore the fantastic life of priestesses from Greece, Rome and Egypt, and where the consciousness community is right now: in a time of rapid awakening, deep information overload, and in a needed return to discernment, integration, and grounded embodiment. The conversation speaks directly to the tension many people feel today — the pull toward spiritual expansion, and the equally important call to stay rooted in the body, in community, and in real inner work. And also touches on the loneliness of awakening and consciousness, which many experience right now. A central thread throughout the interview is the goddess Isis, whose presence is described as a living current of creation, regeneration, and divine feminine power. The Pythian Priestess explains how Isis is present in her life and in many aspects of the PYTHIAN MYSTERY SCHOOL , her devotional practice, and understanding of spiritual sovereignty. Rather than treating Isis as a distant figure, the conversation presents her as an active energetic force that continues to shape consciousness, devotion, and awakening. The Pythian Priestess shares how her mystery school offers a flexible, welcoming path for seekers at all levels, whether they have one hour a month or seven hours a week to dedicate.This is a truly memorable interview — expansive, intimate, and electric — a conversation that honors the sacred work of awakening while celebrating the brilliance of women who are helping lead that shift.Connect with The Pythian Priestess directly through email at admin@pythianmysteryschool.com.

That detail matters because it turns “someday” risk into “this just happened” reality.Then I get into what is driving the surge: data centers and the AI boom. A single facility can pull the electricity of a major city, and Northern Virginia has become the largest data center hub in the world. We talk about how that growth affects regular people through higher bills, tighter capacity margins, and tough choices during peak load events. I also share what NERC is warning about when it says the grid is only “adequate under normal conditions,” and why heat waves are exactly the kind of non-normal event that exposes weak generation, transmission, and demand planning.We also look overseas for a cautionary tale. Europe's record heat shows how demand spikes, lower wind output, solar drop-off at evening peak, and nuclear plant cooling limits can collide to create outages and brutal electricity prices. Finally, I bring it back to practical preparedness: how to use hot weather alerts as a 48-hour checklist, why cooling one room beats trying to run central AC, how generator output drops in high heat, smart fuel storage in summer, and what to know about demand response and smart thermostat control.If you want a clear, common sense plan for staying safe and comfortable when the grid gets tight, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.https://augasonfarms.com?sca_ref=9315862.VpHzogdDNuAugason FarmsSupport the podcast.

As electricity demand grows and becomes harder to predict, power grid planners face a difficult question: how do they build for a future shaped by extreme weather, renewable energy, and the rapid rise of data centers? A new research project is developing tools to help planners identify the most important risks without having to model every possible future. The work could help utilities make better long-term infrastructure decisions while reducing the chances of costly overbuilding or major power outages.

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, Charles Suggs and Emma Whamond are joined by Mike Ratliff, co-founder and CTO of GridVar, to talk about the role software plays in the changing energy infrastructure. With over 30 years of experience in technology, Mike shares the path that took him from the early internet and cloud computing into energy and utility software, along with what he has learned about staying adaptable as the industry continues to shift. Mike explains why building software for the power grid comes with a very different set of constraints than building a typical web application and breaks down some of the challenges utilities are facing, including grid interconnection delays, power quality, increasing energy demand, and the growth of distributed energy resources. We also discuss demand response, microgrids, virtual power plants, battery storage, and how software can help utilities better understand and manage a grid that is becoming more complex. Mike also explains why Elixir and the BEAM are a strong fit for always-on energy systems, how an Erlang MQTT server first led him into the ecosystem, and what it takes to introduce Elixir inside an established organization. The episode closes with a broader look at AI-assisted development, the value of domain expertise, and why technical leaders still need communication, judgment, and a compelling story to move important ideas forward. Key topics discussed in this episode: Mike Ratliff's path from software to energy technology Lessons from three decades of technology industry change The value of generalists in modern software engineering Why good technical judgment remains difficult to replace Building software that interacts with physical infrastructure Why utility technology adoption can move slowly Understanding today's grid interconnection backlog Power quality challenges affecting new grid connections Using simulation to accelerate utility engineering studies Centralized and distributed approaches to grid management How solar energy creates the duck curve Using demand response to balance electricity consumption Edge devices supporting real-time grid coordination Microgrids and resilience in distributed energy systems Cybersecurity considerations for increasingly connected power grids Preparing utility infrastructure for extreme weather events Battery storage and the growth of renewable energy How virtual power plants coordinate distributed resources Why Elixir works well for energy software BEAM reliability for always-on utility infrastructure Discovering Elixir through Erlang and MQTT Building an early virtual power plant with Elixir Making the business case for an Elixir migration Why technical leadership also requires effective storytelling Links Mentioned: GridVAR https://www.gridvar.com/ GridPoint https://www.gridpoint.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Iberian_Peninsula_blackout Demand Response: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_response Virtual Power Plant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_power_plant Microgrid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgrid Volts podcast: https://www.volts.wtf/

For years, electricity prices broadly tracked inflation. New pressures may be changing that. --- Electricity prices have become a major political issue in the United States, with policymakers increasingly focused on rising utility bills and the costs of meeting growing electricity demand. At the same time, renewable energy has often been blamed for driving prices higher. But what does the data actually show? Ryan Hledik of The Brattle Group discusses research conducted with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory on U.S. electricity price trends. The research finds that, nationally, electricity prices have largely tracked inflation, though significant regional differences tell a more complicated story. Hledik explains the factors that really drive electricity prices, the role of renewable energy, natural gas, and infrastructure investment, and why electricity costs vary so dramatically across the country. Hledik also explores whether 2025, when electricity prices rose faster than inflation nationally, marks the beginning of a new era of rising electricity prices, or a temporary departure from a longer-term trend. Ryan Hledik is an alumni policy advisor with the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy and a principal with The Brattle Group.

It's hard to overstate how fast the battery energy storage industry is growing, and the impact that's having on the power sector. In 2025, US utilities and independent developers added 17.75 gigawatts of large-scale battery storage capacity, up 52% from 2024. Multiple forecasts suggest another 100 GW or more of large-scale battery capacity will come online in the US through 2030.   To the extent utilities and power producers can meet the electricity demand projected to surge in coming years, batteries are going to be critical to the solution, supporting data centers, electric vehicles, domestic factories and other sources of increased load.  In this episode, Dan Testa digs into these trends with Noah Roberts, executive director of the Energy Storage Coalition, and Mateo Jaramillo, CEO of Form Energy, a company building and deploying long-duration batteries using innovative iron air technology.

Watch the full podcast! https://chinauncensored.tv/programs/podcast-335 China's military isn't nearly as good as America's military, and China knows that. To give it leverage over the U.S., China has figured out how to control the U.S. power grid so that when China needs it to go down, all it has to do is flip a switch. We are joined by Michael Lucci, the founder of the company State Armor, which helps U.S. states defend against Chinese interference.

In 2021, when Olga Rudenko and other journalists launched the English-language news outlet the Kyiv Independent, they were committed to making a publication that wouldn't face political pressure from an owner. A few months later, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and the Independent began reporting breaking news from the front lines, and conducting investigations of the Ukrainian government. David Remnick talks with Rudenko, the Independent's editor-in-chief, about the challenges of reporting in wartime; President Volodymyr Zelensky's pushback on independent journalism; how Iran and Russia have been providing military aid to one another; and why Ukraine cannot accept the peace deal with Russia that Donald Trump is insisting that it take.
