This episode pulls back the curtain on the most powerful breakthroughs from our recent Effortless Sales workshop in Glasgow—and trust us, photographers walked out seeing their work (and their clients) in a completely new way.Steve, Ronan, and Jonathan break down the jaw-dropping moments that helped photographers realize why clients aren't buying the photos they think matter…and what actually makes clients fall deeply in love with their images. From the emotional “why” behind every purchase to the overlooked details that turn a simple photo into a must-have piece of art, this conversation reveals the shifts that lead to consistent high-value sales without ever pushing or persuading.If you've ever wondered why some images resonate instantly—and others fall flat—this episode is your roadmap to photographing for clients, not for judges, peers, or your own artistic ego. And it might just be the mindset reset your business has been missing.Key HighlightsThe #1 workshop moment that blew everyone's mind: why clients don't fall in love with photos… they fall in love with what those photos mean.The “describe the photo” exercise that revealed why most photographers unknowingly present images clients can't emotionally connect with.Why clients reject a photo at first glance—but then choose it as their favorite once it's emotionally interpreted.The shocking truth about variety: photographers think it's outfit and backdrop changes… clients think it's emotional storytelling and meaning.How photographing for clients (not awards, judges, or the industry) unlocks effortless, pressure-free sales.Real examples from the workshop showing how most photographers accidentally create shoots with only 2–3 sellable images—without realizing it.The difference between a “photographer's photographer” and a Difference Maker—and why one of them will be wiped out by AI.Why understanding a client's deeper “why” and their unspoken emotional desires leads to consistent 4- and 5-figure orders.The moment attendees realized how much they needed to unlearn—and how quickly their sales potential expanded once they did.How photographing the subtle, meaningful elements (a squeeze, a glance, a gesture) can turn a simple portrait into a priceless memory worth thousands.Join the Difference Maker Revolution!Take the first step toward creating a photography business that makes a difference.

We confront the collision between AI's soaring compute needs and a grid unready for 50% peak expansions, then map a practical path to build clean, firm power fast without losing sight of affordability. Dan shares candid insights on markets, permitting, contracts, and how 3Degrees tackles Scope 3 at scale.• AI demand growth outpacing efficiency gains• Wartime mobilization mindset for energy buildout• All-the-above strategy across renewables, storage, and firm power• Price pressures from supply constraints and who pays• Additionality and siting clean power abroad• Permitting and transmission reform progress and limits• Financial governance: minimum revenue commitments and PPA design• Demand response and 24/7 carbon matching incentives• Scope 3 decarbonisation and supplier aggregations• Virtual power plants and flexible load orchestration• Leadership, governance, and resilience in volatile marketsPower isn't a footnote to the AI boom—it's the bottleneck. We sit down with 3Degrees co-founder and chairman Dan Kalafatas to untangle the thorniest question in tech and climate: how do we deliver massive new capacity, keep prices in check, and still cut emissions on an hourly, 24/7 basis? Dan makes the case for a wartime mobilization mindset and an all-of-the-above strategy, pairing solar and wind with storage and firm clean power like recommissioned nuclear and geothermal, while acknowledging the near-term role of natural gas. He explains why utilities are demanding minimum revenue commitments from hyperscalers, how demand response can unlock tens of gigawatts in the hours that matter most, and why temporal matching in carbon accounting will push buyers toward real around-the-clock decarbonization.We dig into additionality as Big Tech sites data centers in places with hydro and other low-carbon resources. What actually drives new clean energy build instead of reshuffling existing electrons? Dan shares pragmatic contract levers—from accelerated repayment clauses to renewable-only PPAs—that reduce stranded-asset risk and steer capital toward projects that cut emissions when the grid is dirtiest. He also unpacks the friction slowing progress: interconnection queues, permitting delays, water constraints, and a public already feeling price pressure before the big build even begins.On the enterprise side, we explore how 3Degrees approaches Scope 3 decarbonization and the rise of virtual power plants, where orchestration beats brute force. Thousands of suppliers, different load shapes, and new 24/7 reporting expectations create a data problem tailor-made for AI—if governance and audit trails come first. Expect candid takes on “green hushing,” the role of states when federal leadership zigzags, and why empathetic leadership belongs at the center of market design and execution.Dan Kalafatas: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dankalafatas/Dan Kalafatas is the Chairman and Co-Founder of 3Degrees, a leading global decarbonization solutions provider that has spent nearly two decades building the scalable systems necessary for businesses to tackle the existential threat of climate change.  Dan is also a proud alumnus of Dartmouth College and the Stanford Graduate School of Business.Website: https://www.position2.com/podcast/Rajiv Parikh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajivparikh/Sandeep Parikh: https://www.instagram.com/sandeepparikh/Email us with any feedback for the show: sparkofages.podcast@position2.com

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Setting up Linux Mint with Custom LVM and Luks Linux Mint with Custom LVM on LUKS Overview The current Linux Mint installer doesn't support custom partitions when setting up a new machine with LUKS encryption using LVM. I prefer having a separate partition for my home directory and a backup partition for Timeshift, so that reinstalling or fixing issues won't overwrite my home directory. I found several approaches to achieve this. One method involves setting up partitions first and then using the installer to select them, but this requires extensive post-installation configuration to get boot working with the encrypted drive. I discovered this blog which explains how to repartition your drive after installation. Combined with my guide on setting up hibernation, I created this documentation to help remember how to install a fresh copy of Linux Mint with LVM and LUKS. Tested on: Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon Partition Layout For this guide, I'm working with a 1TB drive that will be split into the following logical volumes: Root - 100GB (system files and applications) Swap - 32GB (for hibernation support) Home - 700GB (user files and documents) Backup - 100GB (Timeshift snapshots) Unallocated - ~68GB (reserved for future expansion) This setup ensures that system snapshots and user data remain separate, making system recovery much easier. Installation Guide Step 1: Initial Linux Mint Installation Start the Linux Mint installation process as normal: Boot from your Linux Mint installation media Follow the installation wizard (language, keyboard layout, etc.) When you reach the Installation type screen: Select "Erase disk and install Linux Mint" Click "Advanced features" Enable both options: ✓ Use LVM with the new Linux Mint installation ✓ Encrypt the new Linux Mint installation for security Click Continue Enter a strong encryption password when prompted Complete the rest of the installation (timezone, user account, etc.) When installation finishes, do NOT click "Restart Now" - we'll repartition first Important: Do NOT reboot after installation completes. We need to repartition before the first boot. Step 2: Access Root Terminal After installation finishes, open a terminal and switch to root: sudo -i This gives you administrative privileges needed for disk operations. Step 3: Check Current Disk Layout View your current partition structure: lsblk -f This displays your filesystem layout. You should see your encrypted volume group (typically vgmint) with a large root partition consuming most of the space. Step 4: Resize Root Partition Shrink the root partition from its default size (nearly full disk) to 100GB: lvresize -L 100G --resizefs vgmint/root What this does: -L 100G sets the logical volume size to exactly 100GB --resizefs automatically resizes the filesystem to match This frees up ~900GB for our other partitions Step 5: Resize Swap Partition The default swap is usually small (a few GB). We need to increase it to 32GB for hibernation: lvresize --verbose -L +32G /dev/mapper/vgmint-swap_1 What this does: -L +32G adds 32GB to the current swap size --verbose shows detailed progress information This ensures enough swap space for RAM contents during hibernation Note: For hibernation to work, swap should be at least equal to your RAM size. Adjust accordingly. Step 6: Create Home Partition Create a new logical volume for your home directory: lvcreate -L 700G vgmint -n home What this does: -L 700G creates a 700GB logical volume vgmint is the volume group name -n home names the new volume "home" Step 7: Create Backup Partition Create a logical volume for Timeshift backups: lvcreate -L 100G vgmint -n backup What this does: Creates a dedicated 100GB space for system snapshots Keeps backups separate from user data Prevents backups from filling up your home partition Step 8: Format New Partitions Format both new partitions with the ext4 filesystem: mkfs.ext4 /dev/vgmint/backup mkfs.ext4 /dev/vgmint/home What this does: Creates ext4 filesystems on both logical volumes ext4 is the standard Linux filesystem with good performance and reliability Step 9: Mount Partitions Create mount points and mount your partitions: mkdir /mnt/{root,home} mount /dev/vgmint/root /mnt/root/ mount /dev/vgmint/home /mnt/home/ What this does: Creates temporary directories to access the filesystems Mounts root and home so we can configure them Step 10: Move Home Directory Contents Move the existing home directory contents from the root partition to the new home partition: mv /mnt/root/home/* /mnt/home/ What this does: Transfers all user files and directories from the old location to the new home partition Preserves your user account settings and any files created during installation Without this step, your home directory would be empty on first boot Step 11: Update fstab Add the home partition to the system's fstab file so it mounts automatically at boot: echo "/dev/mapper/vgmint-home /home ext4 defaults 0 2" >> /mnt/root/etc/fstab What this does: Appends a mount entry to /etc/fstab Ensures /home partition mounts automatically at startup The 0 2 values enable filesystem checks during boot Step 12: Clean Up and Prepare for Reboot Unmount the partitions and deactivate the volume group: umount /mnt/root umount /mnt/home swapoff -a lvchange -an vgmint What this does: Safely unmounts all mounted filesystems Turns off swap Deactivates the volume group to prevent conflicts Ensures everything is properly closed before reboot Step 13: Reboot Now you can safely reboot into your new system: reboot Enter your LUKS encryption password at boot, then log in normally. Verification After rebooting, verify your partition setup: lsblk -f df -h You should see: Root (/) mounted with ~100GB Home (/home) mounted with ~700GB Swap available with 32GB Backup partition ready for Timeshift configuration Setting Up Timeshift To complete your backup solution: Install Timeshift (if not already installed): sudo apt install timeshift Launch Timeshift and select RSYNC mode Choose the backup partition as your snapshot location Configure your backup schedule (daily, weekly, monthly) Create your first snapshot Additional Resources Original blog post on LVM rearrangement Setting up hibernation on Linux Mint Conclusion This setup gives you the best of both worlds: the security of full-disk encryption with LUKS, and the flexibility of custom LVM partitions. Your home directory and system backups are now isolated, making system recovery and upgrades much safer and more manageable. Automating Your Linux Mint Setup After a Fresh Install Automating Your Linux Mint Setup After a Fresh Install Setting up a fresh Linux Mint installation can be time-consuming, especially when you want to replicate your perfect development environment. This guide will show you how to automate the entire process using Ansible and configuration backups, so you can go from a fresh install to a fully configured system in minutes. Why Automate Your Setup? Whether you're setting up a new machine, recovering from a system failure, or just want to maintain consistency across multiple computers, automation offers several key benefits: Time Savings: What normally takes hours can be done in minutes Consistency: Identical setup across all your machines Documentation: Your setup becomes self-documenting Recovery: Quick recovery from system failures Reproducibility: Never forget to install that one crucial tool again Discovering Your Installed Applications Before creating your automation setup, you need to identify which applications you've manually installed since the initial OS installation.

Thanks for having me, guys. Well, we’ve been looking forward to this for several weeks now because. We’re trying to learn some of the ins and outs of turbine supply agreements, FSAs, because everybody’s talking about them now. Uh, and there’s a lot of assets being exchanged. A lot of turbine farms up for sale. A lot of acquisitions on the other side, on the investment side coming in and. As engineers, we don’t deal a lot with TSAs. It’s just not something that we typically see until, unless there’s a huge problem and then we sort of get involved a little bit. I wanna understand, first off, and you have a a ton of experience doing this, that’s why we [00:01:00] love having you. What are some of the fundamentals of turbine supply agreements? Like what? What is their function? How do they operate? Because I think a lot of engineers and technicians don’t understand the basic fundamentals of these TSAs. Dan Fesenmeyer: The TSA is a turbine supply agreement and it’s for the purchase and delivery of the wind turbines for your wind farm. Um, typically they are negotiated maybe over a 12 ish month period and typically they’re signed at least 12 months before you need, or you want your deliveries for the wind turbines. Joel Saxum: We talk with people all over the world. Um, you know, GE Americas is different than GE in Spain and GE in Australia and Nordics here, and everybody’s a little bit different. Um, but what we, we regularly see, and this is always an odd thing to me, is you talked about like negotiating. It starts 12 months ahead of time stuff, but we see that [00:02:00] the agreements a lot of times are very boilerplate. They’re very much like we’re trying to structure this in a certain way, and at the end of the day, well, as from an operator standpoint, from the the person buying them, we would like this and we would like this and we would like this, but at the end of the day, they don’t really seem to get that much negotiation in ’em. It’s kind of like, this is what the agreement you’re gonna take and this is how we sell them. That’s it. Is, is that your experience? I mean, you’re at GE for a long time, one of the leading OEMs, but is that what you’re seeing now or is there a little bit more flexibility or kind of what’s your take on that? Dan Fesenmeyer: I think generally it depends, and of course the, the OEMs in the, and I’ll focus more on the us, they’ll start with their standard template and it’s up to the purchaser, uh, to develop what they want as their wishlist and start negotiations and do their, let’s say, markup. So, uh, and then there’s a bit of leverage involved. If you’re buying two units, it’s hard to get a lot of interest. [00:03:00] If you’re buying 200 units, then you have a lot more leverage, uh, to negotiate terms and conditions in those agreements. I was with GE for 12 years on the sales and commercial side and now doing advisory services for four years. Uh, some of these negotiations can go for a long time and can get very, very red. Others can go pretty quick. It really depends on what your priorities are. How hard you want to push for what you need. Allen Hall: So how much detail goes into a TSA then are, are they getting very prescriptive, the operators coming with a, a list of things they would like to see? Or is it more negotiating on the price side and the delivery time and the specifics of the turbine? Dan Fesenmeyer: Generally speaking, you start kind of with the proposal stage and. First thing I always tell people is, let’s understand what you have in your proposal. Let’s understand, you know, what are the delivery [00:04:00] rates and times and does that fit with your project? Does the price work with respect to your PPA, what does it say about tariffs? That’s a huge one right now. Where is the risk going to land? What’s in, what’s out? Um. Is the price firm or is there indexation, whether it’s tied to commodities or different currencies. So in my view, there’s some pre-negotiations or at least really understanding what the offer is before you start getting into red lines and, and generally it’s good to sit down with the purchasing team and then ultimately with the OEM and walk through that proposal. Make sure you have everything you need. Make sure you understand what’s included, what’s not. Scope of supply is also a big one. Um, less in less in terms of the turbine itself, but more about the options, like does it have the control features you need for Ercot, for example. Uh, does it have leading [00:05:00]edge protection on your blades? Does it have low noise trailing edge? Do we even need lo low noise trailing edges? Uh, you know, those Joel Saxum: sorts Dan Fesenmeyer: of things. Joel Saxum: Do you see the more of the red lining in the commercial phase or like the technical phase? Because, and why I ask this question is when we talk, ’cause we’re regularly in the o and m world, right? Talking with engineers and asset managers, how do you manage your assets? And they really complain a lot that a lot of their input in that, that feedback loop from operations doesn’t make it to the developers when they’re signing TSAs. Um, so that’s a big complaint of theirs. And so my question is like, kind of like. All right. Are there wishes being heard or is it more general on the technical side and more focused on the commercial Dan Fesenmeyer: side? Where do you see that it comes down to making sure that your negotiation team has all the different voices and constituents at the table? Uh, my approach and our, our team’s approach is you have the legal piece, a technical piece, and we’re in between. We’re [00:06:00] the commercial piece. So when you’re talking TSAs, we’re talking price delivery terms. Determination, warranty, you know, kind of the, the big ticket items, liquidated damages, contract caps, all those big ticket commercial items. When you move over to the operations agreement, which generally gets negotiated at the same time or immediately after, I recommend doing them at the same time because you have more leverage and you wanna make sure terms go from TSA. They look the same in the. Services agreement. And that’s where it’s really important to have your operations people involved. Right? And, and we all learn by mistakes. So people that have operated assets for a long time, they always have their list of five or 10 things that they want in their o and m agreement. And, um, from a process standpoint, before we get into red lines, we usually do kind of a high [00:07:00] level walkthrough of here’s what we think is important. Um. For the TSA and for the SMA or the operations and maintenance agreement, let’s get on the same page as a team on what’s important, what’s our priority, and what do we want to see as the outcome. Allen Hall: And the weird thing right now is the tariffs in the United States that they are a hundred percent, 200%, then they’re 10%. They are bouncing. Like a pinball or a pong ping pong ball at the moment. How are you writing in adjustments for tariffs right now? Because some of the components may enter the country when there’s a tariff or the park the same park enter a week later and not be under that tariff. How does that even get written into a contract right now? Dan Fesenmeyer: Well, that’s a fluid, it’s a fluid environment with terrorists obviously, and. It seems, and I’ll speak mostly from the two large OEMs in the US market. Um, [00:08:00] basically what you’re seeing is you have a proposal and tariffs, it includes a tariff adder based on tariffs as in as they were in effect in August. And each one may have a different date. And this is fairly recent, right? So as of August, here’s what the dates, you know, here’s a tariff table with the different countries and the amounts. Here’s what it translates into a dollar amount. And it’ll also say, well, what we’re going to do is when, uh, these units ship, or they’re delivered X works, that’s when we come back and say, here’s what the tariffs are now. And that difference is on the developer or the purchaser typically. Allen Hall: So at the end of the day. The OEM is not going to eat all the tariffs. They’re gonna pass that on. It’s just basically a price increase at the end. So the, are the, are the buyers of turbines then [00:09:00] really conscious of where components are coming from to try to minimize those tariffs? Dan Fesenmeyer: That’s Allen Hall: difficult. Dan Fesenmeyer: I mean, I would say that’s the starting point of the negotiation. Um, I’ve seen things go different ways depending on, you know, if an off, if a developer can pass through their tariffs to the, on their PPA. They can handle more. If they can’t, then they may come back and say, you know what, we can only handle this much tariff risk or amount in our, in our PPA. The rest we need to figure out a way to share between the OEM or maybe and the developer. Uh, so let’s not assume, you know, not one, one size doesn’t fit all. Joel Saxum: The scary thing there is it sound, it sounds like you’re, like, as a developer when you’re signing a TSA, you’re almost signing a pro forma invoice. Right. That that could, that could go up 25% depending on the, the mood on, in Capitol Hill that day, which is, it’s a scary thought and I, I would think in my mind, hard to really get to [00:10:00] FID with that hanging over your head. Dan Fesenmeyer: Yeah. It it’s a tough situation right now for sure. Yeah. And, and we haven’t really seen what section 2 32, which is another round of potential tariffs out there, and I think that’s what. At least in the last month or two. People are comfortable with what tariffs are currently, but there’s this risk of section 2 32, uh, and who’s going to take that risk Allen Hall: moving forward? Because the 2 32 risk is, is not set in stone as when it will apply yet or if it even Dan Fesenmeyer: will happen and the amount, right. So three ifs, three big ifs there, Alan. Allen Hall: Yeah. And I, maybe that’s designed on purpose to be that way because it does seem. A little bit of chaos in the system will slow down wind and solar development. That’s one way you do. We just have a, a tariff. It’s sort of a tariff that just hangs out there forever. And you, are there ways to avoid that? Is it just getting the contract in [00:11:00] place ahead of time that you can avoid like the 2 32 thing or is it just luck of the draw right now? It’s always Dan Fesenmeyer: up to the situation and what your project delivery. Is looking at what your PPA, what can go in, what can go out. Um, it’s tough to avoid because the OEMs certainly don’t want to take that risk. And, uh, and I don’t blame them. Uh, and separately you were asking about, well, gee, do you start worrying about where your components are sourced from? Of course you are. However, you’re going to see that in the price and in the tariff table. Uh, typically. I would say from that may impact your, your, uh, sort of which, which OEM or which manufacturer you go with, depending on where their supply chain is. Although frankly, a lot of components come from China. Plain and simple, Allen Hall: right? Dan Fesenmeyer: Same place. If you are [00:12:00] subject to these tariffs, then you want to be more on a, you know, what I would say a fleet wide basis. So, uh, meaning. Blades can come from two places. We don’t want to have, you know, an OEM select place number one because it’s subject to tariff and we have to pay for it. You want it more on a fleet basis, so you’re not, so the OEM’s not necessarily picking and choosing who gets covered or who has to pay for a tariff or not. Joel Saxum: And I wonder that, going back to your first statement there, like if you have the power, the leverage, if you can influence that, right? Like. Immediately. My mind goes to, of course, like one of the big operators that has like 10, 12, 15,000 turbines and deals exclusively with ge. They probably have a lot of, they might have the, the stroke to be able to say, no, we want our components to come from here. We want our blades to come from TPI Mexico, or whatever it may be, because we don’t want to make sure they’re coming from overseas. And, and, and if that happens in, in [00:13:00] the, let’s take like the market as a whole, the macro environment. If you’re not that big player. You kind of get the shaft, like you, you would get the leftovers basically. Dan Fesenmeyer: You could, and that makes for a very interesting discussion when you’re negotiating the contract and, and figuring out something that could work for both. It also gets tricky with, you know, there could be maybe three different gearbox suppliers, right? And some of those. So this is when things really get, you know, peeling back an onion level. It’s difficult and I’ll be nice to the OEMs. It’s very tough for them to say, oh, we’re only a source these gearbox, because they avoid the tariffs. Right? That’s why I get more to this fleet cost basis, which I think is a fair way for both sides to, to handle the the issue. Allen Hall: What’s a turbine backlog right now? If I sign a TSA today, what’s the earliest I would see a turbine? Delivered. Dan Fesenmeyer: You know, I, I really don’t know the answer to that. I would say [00:14:00] generally speaking, it would be 12 months is generally the response you would get. Uh, in terms of if I sign today, we get delivery in 12 months, Allen Hall: anywhere less than two years, I think is a really short turnaround period. Because if you’re going for a, uh, gas turbine, you know, something that GE or Siemens would provide, Mitsubishi would provide. You’re talking about. Five or six years out before we ever see that turbine on site. But wind turbines are a year, maybe two years out. That seems like a no brainer for a lot of operators. Dan Fesenmeyer: I would say a year to two is safe. Um, my experience has been things, things really get serious 12 months out. It’s hard to get something quicker. Um, that suppliers would like to sign something two years in advance, but somewhere in between the 12 months and 24 months is generally what you can expect. Now, I haven’t seen and been close to a lot of recent turbine supply [00:15:00]deals and, and with delivery, so I, I, I can’t quote me on any of this. And obviously different safe harbor, PTC, windows are going to be more and more important. 20 eights preferred over 29. 29 will be preferred over 30. Um, and how quick can you act and how quick can you get in line? Allen Hall: Yeah, it’s gonna make a big difference. There’s gonna be a rush to the end. Wouldn’t you think? There’s must be operators putting in orders just because of the end of the IRA bill to try to get some production tax credits or any tax credits out of it. Dan Fesenmeyer: Absolutely. And you know. June of 2028 is a hell of a lot better than fall of 2028 if you want a COD in 2 28. Right. And then you just work backwards from there. Yeah. And that’s, that’s, we’ve seen that in the past as well, uh, with, with the different PTC cliffs that we’ve [00:16:00] seen. Allen Hall: Let’s talk service agreements for a moment when after you have a TSA signed and. The next thing on the list usually is a service agreement, and there are some OEMs that are really hard pushing their service agreements. 25, 30, 35 years. Joel, I think 35 is the longest one I have seen. That’s a long time. Joel Saxum: Mostly in the Nordics though. We’ve seen like see like, uh, there are Vestas in the Nordic countries. We’ve seen some 35 year ones, but that’s, to me, that’s. That’s crazy. That’s, that’s a marriage. 35 years. The crazy thing is, is some of them are with mo models that we know have issues. Right? That’s the one that’s always crazy to me when I watch and, and so then maybe this is a service, maybe this is a com a question is in a service level agreement, like I, I, I know people that are installing specific turbines that we’ve been staring at for five, six years that we know have problems now. They’ve addressed a lot of the problems and different components, bearings and drive, train and [00:17:00] blades and all these different things. Um, but as an, as an operator, you’d think that you have, okay, I have my turbine supply agreement, so there’s some warranty stuff in there that’s protecting me. There is definitely some serial defect clauses that are protecting me. Now I have a service level agreement or a service agreement that we’re signing that should protect me for from some more things. So I’m reducing my risk a little more. I also have insurance and stuff in built into this whole thing. But when, when you start crossing that gap between. These three, four different types of contracts, how do people ensure that when they get to that service level contract, that’s kind of in my mind, the last level of protection from the OEM. How do they make sure they don’t end up in a, uh, a really weird Swiss cheese moment where something fell through the cracks, serial defects, or something like that? You know? Dan Fesenmeyer: Yeah. It, it comes down to, I, I think it’s good to negotiate both at the same time. Um, it sometimes that’s not practical. It’s good. And [00:18:00] part of it is the, the simple, once your TSA is signed, you, you don’t have that leverage over that seller to negotiate terms in the services agreement, right? Because you’ve already signed a t to supply agreement. Uh, the other piece I think is really important is making sure the defect language, for example, and the warranty language in the TSA. Pretty much gets pulled over into the service agreement, so we don’t have different definitions of what a defect is or a failed part, uh, that’s important from an execution standpoint. My view has always been in the TSA, do as much on a warranty claim as you possibly can at that end of the warranty term. The caps and the coverages. And the warranty is much higher than under the services agreement. Services agreement [00:19:00] will end up, you know, warranty or extended warranty brackets, right? ’cause that’s not what it is. It becomes unscheduled maintenance or unplanned maintenance. So you do have that coverage, but then you’re subject to, potentially subject to CAPS or mews, annual or per event. Um. Maybe the standard of a defect is different. Again, that’s why it’s important to keep defect in the TSAs the same as an SMA, and do your warranty claim first. Get as much fixed under the warranty before you get into that service contract. Joel Saxum: So with Windquest, do you go, do you regularly engage at that as farms are coming up to that warranty period? Do you help people with that process as well? As far as end of warranty claims? Contract review and those things before they get into that next phase, you know, at the end of that two year or three years. Dan Fesenmeyer: Yeah. We try to be soup to nuts, meaning we’re there from the proposal to helping [00:20:00] negotiate and close the supply agreement and the services agreement. Then once you move into the services agreement or into the operation period, we can help out with, uh, filing warranty claims. Right. Do we, do you have a serial defect, for example, or. That, that’s usually a big one. Do you have something that gets to that level to at least start that process with an root cause analysis? Um, that’s, that’s obviously big ones, so we help with warranty claims and then if things aren’t getting fixed on time or if you’re in a service agreement and you’re unhappy, we try to step in and help out with, uh, that process as well. Joel Saxum: In taking on those projects, what is your most common component that you deal with for seald? Defects, Dan Fesenmeyer: gearboxes seem to always be a problem. Um, more recently, blade issues, um, main bearing issues. Uh, those are [00:21:00] some of the bigger ones. And then, yeah, and we can be main bearings. Also. Pitch bearings often an issue as well. Joel Saxum: Yeah, no, nothing surprising there. I think if you, if you listen to the podcast at all, you’ve heard us talk about all of those components. Fairly regularly. We’re not, we’re not to lightening the world on firing new information on that one. Allen Hall: Do a lot of operators and developers miss out on that end of warranty period? It does sound like when we talk to them like they know it’s coming, but they haven’t necessarily prepared to have the data and the information ready to go till they can file anything with the OEM it. It’s like they haven’t, they know it’s approaching, right? It’s just, it’s just like, um, you know, tax day is coming, you know, April 15th, you’re gonna write a check for to somebody, but you’re not gonna start thinking about it until April 14th. And that’s the wrong approach. And are you getting more because things are getting tighter? Are you getting more requests to look at that and to help? Operators and developers engage that part of their agreements. I think it’s an Dan Fesenmeyer: [00:22:00] oppor opportunity area for owner operators. I think in the past, a lot of folks have just thought, oh, well, you know, the, the, the service agreement kicks in and it’ll be covered under unscheduled or unplanned maintenance, which is true. But, uh, again, response time might be slower. You might be subject to caps, or in the very least, an overall contract level. Cap or limitation, let’s say. Uh, so I, I do think it’s an opportunity area. And then similarly, when you’re negotiating these upfront to put in language that, well, I don’t wanna say too much, but you wanna make sure, Hey, if I, if I file a claim during warranty and you don’t fix it, that doesn’t count against, let’s say your unplanned cap or unplanned maintenance. Joel Saxum: That’s a good point. I was actually, Alan, this is, I was surprised the other day. You and I were on a call with someone and they had mentioned that they were coming up on end of warranty and they were just kinda like, eh, [00:23:00] we’ve got a service agreement, so like we’re not gonna do anything about it. And I was like, really? Like that day? Like, yeah, that deadline’s passed, or it’s like too close. It wasn’t even passed. It was like, it’s coming up and a month or two. And they’re like, yeah, it’s too close. We’re not gonna do anything about it. We’ll just kind of deal with it as it comes. And I was thinking, man, that’s a weird way to. To manage a, you know, a wind farm that’s worth 300 million bucks. Dan Fesenmeyer: And then the other thing is sometimes, uh, the dates are based on individual turbine CDs. So your farm may have a December 31 COD, but some of the units may have an October, uh, date. Yeah, we heard a weird one the other day that was Joel Saxum: like the entire wind farm warranty period started when the first turbine in the wind farm was COD. And so there was some turbines that had only been running for a year and a half and they were at the end of warranty already. Someone didn’t do their due diligence on that contract. They should have called Dan Meyer. Dan Fesenmeyer: And thing is, I come back is when you know red lines are full of things that people learned [00:24:00] by something going wrong or by something they missed. And that’s a great example of, oh yeah, we missed that when we signed this contract. Joel Saxum: That’s one of the reasons why Alan and I, a lot, a lot of people we talk to, it’s like consult the SMEs in the space, right? You’re, you may be at tasked with being a do it all person and you may be really good at that, but someone that deals in these contracts every day and has 20 years of experience in it, that’s the person you talk to. Just like you may be able to figure out some things, enlight. Call Allen. The guy’s been doing lightning his whole career as a subject matter expert, or call a, you know, a on our team and the podcast team is the blade expert or like some of the people we have on our network. Like if you’re going to dive into this thing, like just consult, even if it’s a, a small part of a contract, give someone a day to look through your contract real quick just to make sure that you’re not missing anything. ’cause the insights from SMEs are. Priceless. Really. Dan Fesenmeyer: I couldn’t agree more. And that’s kind of how I got the idea of starting Windquest advisors to begin with. [00:25:00] Um, I used to sit across the table with very smart people, but GE would con, you know, we would negotiate a hundred contracts a year. The purchaser made one or two. And again, this isn’t, you know, to beat up the manufacturers, right? They do a good job. They, they really work with their, their customers to. Find solutions that work for both. So this is not a beat up the OEM, uh, from my perspective, but having another set of eyes and experience can help a lot. Allen Hall: I think it’s really important that anybody listening to this podcast understand how much risk they’re taking on and that they do need help, and that’s what Windquest Advisors is all about. And getting ahold of Dan. Dan, how do people get ahold of you? www.win advisors.com. If you need to get it to Dan or reach out to win advisors, check out LinkedIn, go to the website, learn more about it. Give Dan a phone call because I think [00:26:00] you’re missing out probably on millions of dollars of opportunity that probably didn’t even know existed. Uh, so it’s, it’s a good contact and a good resource. And Dan, thank you so much for being on the podcast. We appreciate having you and. We’d like to have you back again. Dan Fesenmeyer: Well, I’d love to come back and talk about, maybe we can talk more about Lightning. That’s a Joel Saxum: couple of episodes. Dan Fesenmeyer: I like watching your podcast. I always find them. Informative and also casual. It’s like you can sit and listen to a discussion and, and pick up a few things, so please continue doing what you’re doing well, thanks Dan. Allen Hall: Thanks Dan.

Treinta y un años después de su erradicación, la peste porcina africana (PPA) ha regresado a España. Un brote detectado en jabalíes en la sierra de Barcelona ha puesto en máxima alerta a uno de los sectores ganaderos más potentes de Europa, el porcino español, que es el primer productor de la UE y el tercero del mundo. Con unas exportaciones que rozan los 9.000 millones de euros anuales, la reaparición de este virus ha suscitado una enorme preocupación económica y sanitaria.El virus de la PPA, que no afecta a los seres humanos, presenta una letalidad de casi el 100% en los cerdos, que mueren en una o dos semanas tras la infección.

Esta semana viene cargada de noticias claves y estratégicas para poder estar a tu lado en el mercado global del cerdo, donde exploraremos la mala noticia para el sector porcino español, la crisis en China y la situación del mercado porcino colombiano.Esta semana Europa volvió a encender las alarmas: España confirmó un caso de Peste Porcina Africana (PPA) en un jabalí en la provincia de Barcelona.Aunque no afecta por ahora a granjas comerciales, el impacto comercial ha sido inmediato y severo, especialmente porque España es el primer exportador de carne de cerdo de la Unión Europea y uno de los actores más relevantes del mundo.A continuación, los puntos más críticos:Se paralizan todos los envíos desde la provincia:carne, despieces, proteína hidrolizada, petfood, etc.Unas 14 plantas exportadoras quedan temporalmente fuera del mercado chino.China representa casi el 40% de las exportaciones españolas.En 2024 compró 540.000 toneladas, valoradas en 1.100 millones de euros.La suspensión implica pérdidas millonarias semanales.Se espera que el acuerdo bilateral de regionalización China–España entre en vigor para permitir exportaciones desde otras provincias no afectadas.El Gobierno español bloqueó 121 certificados veterinarios hacia más de 40 países, entre ellos:Japón, México, Rusia, Canadá, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Filipinas, Perú, Sudáfrica, Tailandia y Venezuela.Japón y México cerraron totalmente sus mercados al porcino español.En contraste, Estados Unidos, Corea del Sur y Reino Unido aceptan la regionalización y permiten envíos desde zonas libres.El costo económico del bloqueo se estimará en las próximas semanas, pero se proyectan pérdidas muy significativas.No existe un bloqueo general, pero sí un cierre inmediato al movimiento de ganado vivo dentro y fuera de la zona afectada (20 km alrededor del hallazgo).Esto afecta a 39 explotaciones. El sistema de vigilancia ha confirmado que ninguna de ellas está infectada. La UE absorbe el 53% de las exportaciones españolas, por lo que estas restricciones pueden provocar un efecto dominó en:LogísticaPrecio internoCapacidad de faena.Este caso en jabalíes no debería sorprendernos:PPA en fauna silvestre es el mayor riesgo sanitario para cualquier país exportador.España es un país con estructura avanzada, alta bioseguridad y un nivel institucional sólido; aun así, el impacto comercial ha sido inmediato. Confío en la eficacia para detener la propagación, España cuenta con recursos y un plan muy desarrollado para este desafio. Es una señal para toda Latinoamérica:La regionalización no es opcional, es indispensable.Debemos acelerar acuerdos bilaterales con Asia y países clave.La gestión de fauna silvestre debe ser prioritaria.Otra señal que vale la pena incorporar esta semana proviene de China, donde el precio del cerdo en pie continúa cayendo, alcanzando su nivel más bajo en cuatro años. Hay que retroceder hasta octubre de 2021 para encontrar un mercado tan deprimido.La caída responde a dos factores que vienen acumulándose desde inicios del año:Sobreproducción persistente, incluso después de los recortes de fin de 2024.Una demanda interna más débil, condicionada por el deterioro económico y demográfico.Frente a este escenario, el gobierno chino reaccionó instruyendo a las principales compañías porcinas a reducir el número de cerdas reproductoras, disminuir los volúmenes de sacrificio y mantener los pesos comerciales en torno a 117 a 120 kg vivo. El hato de cerdas ya cayó por debajo de los 40 millones, muy cerca del objetivo oficial de 39 millones, señal de que la reducción productiva está en marcha. Sin embargo, su efecto en los precios todavía no se materializa.En Colombia, el precio del cerdo en pie ha perdido su tradicional impulso alcista del segundo semestre, estabilizándose en torno a los 8.140 COP/kg hacia fines de noviembre, lejos de los picos alcanzados en años anteriores.

Slovensko nie je len v hlbokom úpadku, my dnes padáme strmhlav do priepasti. Hovorí v Ráno Nahlas šéf NKÚ Ľubomír Andrassy. Tento pád nás bude veľmi bolieť. Nebude však bolieť tých, ktorí tu dlho parazitovali na verejných i EÚ zdrojoch, ale bude to bolieť nás - teda tých, ktorí odtiaľto nemajú kde a ani začo odísť, dodáva predseda Najvyššieho kontrolného úradu.

This week on the PicklePod, Zane and Tice break down one of the wildest weekends of pickleball we've seen all year. The Lakeland Open delivered everything—controversial calls, insane comebacks, breakout stars, near meltdowns, and another dominant run from the tour's heavy hitters. We kick things off with Part 2 of last week's viral Create-a-Player Draft, where Zane and Tice build the ultimate women's pickleball player. 11 categories. No duplicate picks. Maximum trash talk. The community demanded a rematch…and Tice wants revenge. From there, the guys get into all the biggest stories: Lakeland Open Chaos – The now-infamous Roscoe/Hunter match point controversy – Luca Mack's eye-opening semifinal run – Noe's first PPA medal – The 17-point swing that shocked the men's doubles bracket Nationals Recap – Jill Braverman's viral line call – Why a $225K event ran with no replays – PK's first singles title • Global Pickleball Politics – The WPF, GPF, UWPF alphabet soup explained – What a potential merger means for the Olympics – Why governing bodies matter more than people realize Lakers Pickleball Tournament – Yes… the Lakers ran their own pickleball event – Luka Dončić credits pickleball for slimming down – Why NBA players might be the worst body type for dinking • Debate of the Week: If Ben and Anna Leigh were forced to split up in 2026… who wins more mixed titles?

Vodafone Ireland has recently marked the first anniversary of Ireland's inaugural telecom Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), celebrating a major milestone in its sustainability journey. In partnership with Flogas and the Derrynadivva Wind Farm in County Mayo, the long-term PPA has delivered 13.4GWh of renewable electricity in its first year - enough to power over 5.3 billion 5-minute phone calls. Vodafone Ireland became the first telco in the country to directly procure renewable electricity through a PPA in 2024. One year on, it remains the only live telecom PPA in Ireland, continuing to serve as a proof point for how businesses can accelerate Ireland's renewable energy transition This achievement is part of Vodafone Ireland's wider decarbonisation programme as it works towards net-zero operations (Scope 1 & 2) by 2028. Vodafone Ireland is on track to achieve a fully electric fleet by 2027, with all current vehicles hybrid or electric since the end of 2024. In 2025, Vodafone Ireland achieved its goal of sending 100% of network waste for recycling, ensuring responsible processing and recovery of materials. All retail stores have been upgraded to LED lighting, reducing lighting energy usage, and Vodafone Ireland's Trade-In programme has collected more than 60,000 devices since launch in 2022, extending product lifecycles through resale and reducing e-waste. Vodafone Ireland is also taking steps to reduce its operational footprint through plans to relocate its headquarters to a modern, more energy efficient building at 70 St Stephen's Green in Dublin to further reduce its carbon footprint and support the company's ambitious net-zero goals. The agreement with Flogas highlights the potential for cross-sector collaboration in driving Ireland's renewable energy ambitions. Over the past year, Ireland's corporate PPA market has gained significant momentum, with companies across healthcare, manufacturing and retail now signing similar agreements. Speaking on the agreement, Elizabeth Headon, Vodafone Ireland's External Affairs Director, said: "Since 2018, Vodafone Ireland's energy consumption has held level, despite a five-fold increase in data traffic. Through an ongoing focus on network management and innovation, we have been able to decouple energy use from data growth. Signing Ireland's first telecom PPA a year ago was the logical step in Vodafone's contribution to energy transition, and we are proud to champion Irish renewable generation, invest in cleaner operations, and show tangible progress towards achieving net zero." From renewable energy partnerships and electric vehicles to circular device recovery and waste elimination, Vodafone Ireland is demonstrating practical, measurable action towards a low-carbon future. Vodafone Ireland remains on track to achieve net-zero operations (Scope 1 &2) by 2028, contributing to Ireland's wider 2030 renewable energy goals. A spokesperson for Flogas commented on the strategic value of the collaboration: "Our partnership with Vodafone showed that corporate PPAs can deliver tangible progress for both industry and Ireland's renewable energy sector. This agreement provided stability for a wind project and gave confidence to the wider market that large corporates can be an integral part of the energy transition." Pat Brett, Director of Derrynadivva Wind Farm, highlighted the strong local impact of the initiative: "Vodafone's long-term commitment has supported local investment, sustained jobs, and ensured renewable power from County Mayo is contributing directly to Ireland's national grid."

Ex Ilva, è scontro governo sindacati

L'ennesimo vertice sull'ex Ilva, tenutosi a Palazzo Chigi sotto il coordinamento del sottosegretario Alfredo Mantovano (nella foto), non ha portato a risultati concreti. I segretari generali di Fim, Fiom e Uilm hanno accusato il ministro Urso di "tradimento" e chiesto l'intervento diretto della presidente del Consiglio. Secondo i sindacati, il governo avrebbe presentato un piano di chiusura, con 6.000 cassintegrati, invece del piano di riconversione atteso. L'esecutivo ha illustrato un piano operativo a "ciclo corto", che riduce a quattro anni il percorso di decarbonizzazione ma prevede l'aumento del numero di dipendenti in cassa integrazione a 5.700 unità, poi 6.000 da gennaio. Urso avrebbe inoltre confermato l'esistenza di una "trattativa riservata" con un nuovo operatore interessato all'ex Ilva, oltre ai fondi Bedrock e Flacks, che avrebbero offerto zero euro per gli asset. Secondo Il Sole 24 Ore, ci sarebbero stati contatti anche con Qatar Steel, che però non ha ancora presentato una manifestazione formale di interesse. I tempi per la cessione di Acciaierie d'Italia si allungano e potrebbe rendersi necessario un nuovo intervento pubblico, forse in legge di bilancio, per garantire la continuità operativa. Intanto, il governo avrebbe chiesto a Eni un supporto tecnico per stabilizzare il costo del gas, elemento cruciale per il futuro impianto di preridotto (Dri) e per la riconversione verde dell'acciaieria. I sindacati restano preoccupati per i tagli e chiedono un coinvolgimento diretto dello Stato nel piano industriale. Ne parliamo con Paolo Bricco, Il Sole 24 OreTir, imprese e associazioni di categoria contro divieto di sorpasso in A1. Salvini avvia un tavolo tecnicoIl ministro dei Trasporti Matteo Salvini ha deciso di istituire un tavolo tecnico con le rappresentanze del settore autotrasporto per discutere il divieto di sorpasso ai mezzi pesanti sull'A1, introdotto da Autostrade per l'Italia dal 3 novembre. La misura, sperimentale per sei mesi, riguarda il tratto tra Incisa-Reggello e Chiusi, lungo circa 90 chilometri, e si applica ai veicoli sopra le 12 tonnellate. Le sanzioni per chi viola il divieto arrivano a 666 euro, con sospensione della patente e decurtazione di punti. Le associazioni di categoria, tra cui FAI, Fiap e Trasportounito, criticano la decisione, definendola un provvedimento unilaterale che penalizza il settore e aggrava le difficoltà operative. Il presidente della FAI, Paolo Uggè, ha chiesto la sospensione immediata delle sanzioni e la convocazione urgente di un tavolo di confronto. Dopo i primi giorni di applicazione del divieto, le imprese segnalano ritardi nelle consegne, code e disagi, con ripercussioni anche sulla E45. Le associazioni temono conseguenze economiche e di sicurezza, ribadendo che la sicurezza stradale non può essere perseguita a scapito della sostenibilità del trasporto. Interviene Paolo Uggè, Presidente Conftrasporto e FAI (Federazione Autotrasportatori Italiani).A2a, in 9 mesi ricavi in crescita ma cala l'utileA2a ha presentato i conti dei primi nove mesi dell'anno e il nuovo piano strategico al 2035, che prevede investimenti complessivi per 23 miliardi di euro, di cui 16 destinati alla transizione energetica e 7 all'economia circolare. Il gruppo punta alla neutralità climatica entro il 2050 e a un'espansione in nuovi mercati europei. Tuttavia, i conti trimestrali hanno deluso i mercati: a fronte di ricavi in crescita del 12% a 10,17 miliardi, il margine operativo lordo è sceso del 4% a 1,73 miliardi, l'utile operativo dell'11% a 956 milioni e l'utile netto del 19% a 581 milioni, soprattutto per la riduzione della produzione idroelettrica (-26%). Il gruppo conferma comunque le stime annuali. A2a ha inoltre costituito A2a Life Ventures, dedicata allo sviluppo di soluzioni digitali e di intelligenza artificiale, e ha siglato un PPA quindicennale con Erg per la fornitura di 2,7 TWh di energia eolica a partire dal 2027. Il 70% degli investimenti effettuati nei primi nove mesi è in linea con la tassonomia europea, rappresentando oltre la metà degli investimenti italiani conformi. Crescono anche la capacità installata delle reti elettriche (+67%) e la vendita di elettricità verde (+43%). Affrontiamo il tema proprio con Renato Mazzoncini, Ad A2a.

Pôdohospodárska platobná agentúra známa ako z Penziónovej kauzy, tak i z kauzy Dobytkár systémovo, opakovane a masívne zlyháva. Kontroly ani audity tam nefungujú, korupčné kauzy pribúdajú.

Do agentúry by mali nabehnúť vyšetrovatelia i prokurátori a mali by začať konať. Povedal nedávno v podcaste Ráno Nahlas predseda Najvyššieho kontrolného úradu Ľubomír Andrassy.Polícia i prokuratúra kauzy spojené s PPA už rieši, no a aktuálne do PPA nabehli aj poslanci. Poslanecký prieskum, ktorý sa týkal preskúmania projektov na vidiecky turizmus - teda tú takzvanú penziónovú kauzu - však dopadol neslávne. Zatiaľ čo Pôdohospodárska platobná agentúra na svojej strane žiadne pochybenia nevidí a minister Takáč je s kontrolou spokojný, opozícia hovorí o nedostatku informácií, formálnej kontrole a alibizme ako PPAčky, tak i samotného ministra pôdohospodárstva.Faktom zostáva, že z vyše 50 skontrolovaných penziónov sa našli pochybenia v deviatich prípadoch, pričom šesť z nich už vyšetrujú aj orgány činné v trestnom konaní.Penzióny, ktoré fakticky nie sú žiadnymi penziónmi, no pritom zjavný luxus na pohľadanie. A to všetko z peňazí EÚ. Deje sa to pritom v agentúre, ktorá je spojená i so známou kauzou Dobytkár. Navyše, PPA je predmetom opakovaných kontrol Najvyššieho kontrolného úradu, ktorý však stále nie je schopný agentúre udeliť certifikát spoľahlivej a dôveryhodnej inštitúcie.Ako je toto vôbec možné a o čom to vypovedá? Akú budúcnosť PPA pri tomto všetkom ešte môže mať, kto stojí v pozadí týchto káuz a prečo ich moc vlastne kryje? No a čo odhalil aktuálny poslanecký prieskum, prečo v ňom opozícia údajne zlyhala a ako sa budú vyvíjať kauzy sporných - a dnes už aj vyšetrovaných - penziónov?V Aktualitách Nahlas na to odpovie bývalá šéfka protikorupčnej sekcie PPA a dnes predsedníčka Pirátov Zuzana Šubová.
