During Intersolar (The Smart E), Gerard sat down with Dr Chuan Lu, CEO Astronergy and Director of Chint Group to discuss, from the inside the Chinese Solar revolution. 2026 was Dr Lu and Chint 15th participation to that massive European Exhibit that epitomise the growth of renewables. 18 halls the size of a football fields and more than 100,000 visitors.  CHINT is a vertically integrated Chinese energy conglomerate whose solar business is profitable, mid-growth, and margin-focused rather than driven by hyper-scale manufacturing. Its portfolio includes Astronergy (modules), CPS (inverters), CHINT Solar (EPC/IPP), and CHINT ANNENG (residential PV), generating approximately $650–700 million in operating profit and implying a valuation of $12–16 billion. Annual growth of 15–20% trails peers but reflects CHINT's focus on profitability, diversification, and disciplined capital allocation. The result is a stable, globally active, Tier 1-certified solar group that operates more like an integrated industrial compounder than a scale-at-all-costs PV manufacturer.  The modern Chinese solar industry began to take shape around 2006 as a predominantly export-oriented manufacturing sector, driven by demand from Europe and other international markets. As a privately held enterprise, CHINT has operated within a unique ecosystem where entrepreneurial initiative has been complemented by government policy support. A pivotal moment came in 2012 with the introduction of China's Feed-in Tariff (FIT) programme, which stimulated domestic demand and transformed China into the world's largest solar market, creating significant opportunities for companies such as CHINT to expand beyond export manufacturing.  CHINT's development has also been shaped by China's regional economic and cultural differences. Originating in the entrepreneurial, resource-poor southeast of the country, the company embodies a private-sector culture that contrasts sharply with the coal-dependent, state-controlled industrial base of northeast China.  Looking ahead, management recognises the challenges posed by overbuilding and excess manufacturing capacity in the utility-scale solar market. In response, CHINT has diversified aggressively into distributed generation through its residential rooftop solar business, CHINT ANNENG, which has installed more than 60 GW of capacity across over 1.2 million rooftops throughout China, positioning the company to benefit from a broader and more resilient mix of solar market opportunities.  A great thanks to Jonathan Gifford of Climate Copy for organising the recording.

It's the 300th anniversary episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show!  Save time, money, and a state of mind with the 701x autonomous rancher. Plus, opening the border to Mexican cattle and the markets, what could happen. Join me Jeff “Tigger” Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and their crew for this all-new episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show.  Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. 701X Autonomous Rancher The 701x Autonomous Rancher platform is transforming how cattle producers manage their operations by combining powerful herd management software with GPS-enabled smart ear tags and real-time livestock monitoring. Instead of relying on handwritten notes or time-consuming pasture checks, ranchers can monitor animal location, health, breeding activity, calving events, treatments, financial records, and pasture performance from a smartphone, tablet, or computer—even when working offline in a remote country. Solar-powered GPS tags with cellular and satellite connectivity help keep producers connected to their herd regardless of pasture location, while automated alerts and detailed reporting provide the data needed to make faster, more profitable management decisions. Designed for both commercial cow-calf producers and registered seedstock operations, the 701x Autonomous Rancher is helping modern ranches reduce labor, improve efficiency, and put actionable data to work every day.  xTPro - GPS Ear Tag from 701x The xTpro tag gives ranchers the ability to monitor location, breeding, and health insights of their adult animals in their herd - and make faster, more informed management decisions with that data. Developed with feedback directly from ranchers, the xTpro tag features a two-pin design, solar powered battery, as well as cellular and satellite connection - eliminating all questions of durability, manual charging, and the need for expensive base stations for the xTpro tag to work. We also throw in our commercial Herd Management Software for up to 500 animals, free of charge.

El viento solar puede sonar como una brisa inofensiva, pero en realidad puede ser bastante peligroso para la Tierra. Cuando el sol emite estas partículas de alta energía, pueden alterar el campo magnético de nuestro planeta. Esto podría provocar interrupciones importantes en nuestras redes eléctricas y sistemas de comunicación. Además, en casos extremos, podría incluso poner en riesgo a los astronautas y a los vuelos de gran altitud. Así que sí, esos vientos solares son más que una simple curiosidad espacial—¡podrían provocar serios trastornos! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Program description: Darers & Doers showcases groundbreaking innovations from China and features company founders and CEOs who are turning cool, bold ideas into reality. Produced by Caixin Global. Episode intro: Solar is one of China's most crowded renewable-energy sectors, if not the most. But a new generation of entrepreneurs is looking beyond manufacturing and capacity, finding new ways to turn solar into an investable and profitable business. In this episode of Darers & Doers, Li Wenxuan, founder, chairman and CEO of PCG Power Technology, explains how he has built a business around making distributed solar work for commercial and industrial users — helping factories and industrial parks cut energy costs, improve efficiency and secure a more reliable supply of green power. PCG Power turned a profit just two years after its founding. It has since grown into one of China's largest distributed-energy companies, operating 2 gigawatts of grid connected capacity and serving hundreds of customers. The company has also attracted backing from Singapore's state-owned investor Temasek and Saudi's Aramco, and has partnered with the U.K.'s Octopus Energy on power trading. Speaking with host Kelsey Cheng, Li explains how China's vast industrial power market has created a unique testing ground for new energy business models, and how PCG Power plans to take that experience overseas. He also addresses concerns about overcapacity and dumping in China's renewable-energy industry, and how technologies such as storage, virtual power plants and artificial intelligence can help address shortfalls of renewable generation.

S05E155 · Friday 31 July 2026 · Astronomy Daily with Anna & Avery. Four stories and a both-hemispheres skywatch. Australian English. ① Asteroid (44) Nysa — the first three-lobed world, and its hidden moon ●        trilobate body — three lobes joined by two narrow necks; a candidate “first” of its kind. ●        A new ~1 km moon, S/2026 (44) 1, was found orbiting ≥170 km out — spotted using high-contrast imaging borrowed from exoplanet work, and confirmed moving across two observing runs. ●        The moon lets astronomers weigh Nysa (mass → density), which should help decide between a genuine contact-trinary and a single, deeply indented body. ●        Nysa is a bright, main-belt E-type (enstatite-rich) asteroid, ~75 km across, known since 1857. ●        Source: Lowell Observatory / University of Arizona press release, 29 Jul 2026; study “Unmasking (44) Nysa: Evidence for a Trilobate Structure” (Minker et al.). Coverage: Space.com, Gizmodo, 29–30 Jul 2026. ② Mapping Alien Continents — a NASA concept to image an exoplanet's surface ●        NASA's 2026 NIAC round funds 18 early-stage “visionary” concepts (~$175k each, 9 months). These are seed studies, not missions. ●        Paul Stankus (Brookhaven) proposes “Mapping Alien Continents”: resolve the surface of an Earth-like exoplanet — continents, oceans — in visible light. ●        Method: a novel “dynamic hierarchical nulling” interferometer to suppress starlight at 10¹⁰-to-1 contrast, then combine beams from two spacecraft ~100 km apart (optical VLBI-style imaging). ●        Source: NASA “2026 Innovative Technology Concepts” release and NIAC selections (posted 21 Jul; consolidated release ~29 Jul 2026); Universe Today feature, 30 Jul 2026. ③ Solar-storm watch — CMEs inbound, minor-storm and aurora potential ●        Two faint coronal mass ejections, plus coronal-hole solar wind, are set to give Earth glancing blows; forecasters flag possible G1 (minor) geomagnetic storms and auroras over the coming days. ●        G1 means little grid impact but aurora visible at somewhat lower latitudes than usual — see the skywatch for where to look, both hemispheres. ●        Source: NOAA SWPC (WSA-ENLIL model); EarthSky / The Sun Today, 30 Jul 2026. ④ ESCAPADE's family portrait of Earth and the Moon ●        NASA's twin Mars orbiters (“Blue” and “Gold,” built by Rocket Lab) imaged Earth and the Moon as thin crescents in visible and thermal-infrared light from a loiter orbit near Sun–Earth L2. ●        In infrared, Earth's night side glows with its own heat; the Moon's shadowed half is far colder — a calibration check before Mars. ●        ESCAPADE's science goal (arrival Sept 2027): measure how the solar wind strips Mars's unshielded atmosphere — the payoff of today's solar-wind thread. ●        Source: NASA (Goddard) image feature, ~25 Jul 2026 (images captured 3 Jul); NAU / phys.org; Universe Today, 29 Jul 2026. Skywatch — both hemispheres ●        Bright waning-gibbous Moon (post-Buck-Moon, 29 Jul) washes out faint targets. ●        Southern Delta Aquariids + Alpha Capricornids just past peak (SH-favoured; Moon-hampered). Perseids build to a near-moonless peak on the night of 12–13 Aug — prime for North America, low in the north for the SH. ●        12 Aug total solar eclipse: totality across Greenland / Iceland / Spain; partial for parts of northern North America and Europe. ISO 12312-2 eye protection required for any partial phase. ●        Pre-dawn planets low in the east (Sydney and North American framing). Aurora watch for high latitudes both hemispheres if the storms land. ●        Diary: a spent Falcon 9 upper stage (2025-010D) is predicted to hit the Moon near Einstein Crater on 5 Aug 2026, ~06:35 UTC (~2:34 a.m. ET). North America best-timed; telescope needed, Moon ~56% lit, target the limb dust plume. From Sydney the Moon is down at impact — rely on LRO after-images. Callback to E125/E147.

So as an homage to them, I have this recent article titled 3 AI Infrastructure Stocks That Could Double by 2027 from finance.yahoo.com. It's by Will Healy at fool.com. Here's a bit of what he says in his article. "1. Nvidia (NVDA) trades at a P/E ratio of 31, which is actually less than the S&P 500 average of 32. This has occurred as Nvidia's revenue grew by 85% yearly in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 (ended April 26). When also considering the 211% profit increase for the same period, the earnings multiple would arguably appear low even if Nvidia's stock price were to double. 2. CoreWeave (CRWV) As one of the leading neocloud companies, CoreWeave has drawn increased attention. Amid the potential for massive stock gains, huge losses and rapidly rising debt levels have soured some investors on this company… CoreWeave has Nvidia as an investor and a partner. That gives the company capital and access to Nvidia's latest technology, giving CoreWeave a competitive advantage. 3. Meta Platforms (META) Facebook parent Meta Platforms is in the process of transitioning into more of an AI-oriented enterprise. The company pledged to spend between $125 billion and $145 billion in capital expenditures (capex), most of which will probably go to building more AI infrastructure… Indeed, the 26% forecasted revenue increase for 2026 is a slowdown from Q1. Nonetheless, that would put downward pressure on an already low P/E ratio if the stock price stayed the same. Moreover, if Meta's AI inspired more confidence, its current valuation indicates the stock price could double without making Meta an expensive stock." End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Top Wind Energy Stocks to Add to Your Portfolio for Solid Long-Term Returns -- from Zacks.com Lastly, I have this article covering a sector that most of you are concerned with. It's titled Top Wind Energy Stocks to Add to Your Portfolio for Solid Long-Term Returns -- from Zacks.com. It's by Avisekh Bhattacharjee. Here are some quotes from his article. "(Note that this is) an updated edition of the May 28, 2026 article. 1. NextEra Energy (NEE - Free Report) is a public utility holding company engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electric energy.

Isobel McMahon messaged on Patreon: "I appreciate this clear statement on AI." Jordan Reeder sent a photo: "Hi, just wanted to show what I was doing while enjoying the awesome music on the podcast… one of these days I'd love to submit some of my music. Maybe after I chop my way through this pile of firewood! Alex Meyers emailed from Toronto: "Politically neutral Irish music does not exist. Hi Marc, I started listening to the podcast seven years ago as I took my newborn son for long walks with wireless speakers perched on his stroller so he could listen too. Now with two boys we frequently listen while we have breakfast. In a recent episode you responded to yet another listener who told you to stick to music and leave the politics alone. I am always impressed by how resolute you are in the face of these cynics, you never try to soften the message of peace, compassion, and inclusion. Also, I've always found it hilariously ironic that someone would say "leave out the politics" about IRISH music, 1/3 of all Irish songs are about oppression and kicking out the British. Have these people never listened to The Wolfe Tones or The Cranberries? Speaking of which, I highly recommend you check out the Irish rap group Kneecap. They perform in Irish/Gaeilge and English and deserve massive credit for popularizing Gaeilge. They are firmly on the side of the oppressed from Ireland to Palestine and their latest album is "Fenian", which should tell you something about their politics. Keep up the great work!"  

Nature is a very broad term, and as we often discuss on this show, everything is connected. Geology impacts soil, which dictates what plants can grow. But if we pull back even further, the ultimate engine driving our planet's systems is the Sun. So when I think of Nature's Archive—and that big concept of "Nature"—I love bringing these grand, foundational subjects into our scope.Today is one such instance. Our guest is Dr. Ryan French, a solar astrophysicist and author who specializes in studying solar flares. Solar activity affects life on Earth in surprising ways—from creating spectacular auroras (the northern and southern lights) to disrupting GPS systems and power grids. And most fascinating for naturalists: these solar storms can even disrupt bird navigation and alter the foraging habits of bees.Dr. French walks us through why solar flares occur, an even more impactful phenomenon called a coronal mass ejection, why these events follow an 11-year cycle, the current state of space weather forecasting, and how you can see and photograph beautiful auroral displays yourself.Dr. French has an extremely fun and informative social media presence, so be sure to check out ryanjfrench.com for resources and links.This was a super fun discussion—one I've wanted to have pretty much since I started Nature's Archive.FULL SHOW NOTESLinksCompilation from Solar Flares and Eruptions from Dr. French's YouTube Channelryanjfrench.comCheck our Ryan's Books, including Space Hazards and The Little Book of EclipsesNOAA's Space Weather Site, including predictions and real-time observationsSupport Us On Patreon!Buy our Merch!Music: Spellbound by Brian Holtz MusicLicense (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseArtist site: https://brianholtzmusic.com Discover the Jumpstart Nature Podcast - entertaining and immersive, it's the nature fix we all need.Check past Nature's Archive episodes for amazing guests like Doug Tallamy, Elaine Ingham, and Rae Wynn-Grant, covering topics from bird migration to fungi to frogs and bats!

urple Political Breakdown, hosted by Radell Lewis. Political Solutions Without Political Bias. The Supreme Court struck down this administration's tariffs. So it found a different law and taxed 99.4 percent of everything America imports anyway. A federal judge blocked the order rewriting how you get a mail ballot. So it went to the Supreme Court, and the Postal Service started building the portal regardless. OpenAI sealed two AI models in a sandbox to test whether they could hack. The models picked the lock and hacked a real company on the way out. Nobody in this episode broke a rule. Everybody found a way around one. That is the thread. This week we launch a new opening segment, What Has Trump Said This Week, going straight to the tape on the fourth term comments and the Netanyahu remarks. NUANCED NEWS: The tariff sequence nobody is explaining. Three different legal authorities in six months producing nearly the same outcome, each time a court closed a door. Section 301 after Section 122 after the Supreme Court struck the original Liberation Day tariffs. Then the same authority aimed at the European Union one day later over the Google antitrust fine, and a lawsuit filed by Friday afternoon. Plus the mail ballot executive order reaching the Supreme Court with a response due August 3, two federal appeals courts splitting on ripeness in the same week, and the postal portal getting built anyway. Plus the OpenAI containment breach, including the detail almost nobody reported: when OpenAI tried to defend against its own attacking agent, another American lab's safety guardrails made its model useless, so the defense ran on an open source Chinese model. RESEARCH ON A DIME: Jay Clayton, confirmed Director of National Intelligence 51 to 47, and the surveillance law nobody will vote on. Section 702 of FISA has been dead since June 12. It is not being debated on its merits. It is collateral. And on July 10, the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law without a presidential signature for the same reason. Same bill. Two hostages. Then Michigan's Senate primary, the 36 million dollars in outside spending, and the 16.8 million from a group that does not have to say who funds it until after you vote. BREAKDOWN IN THE PUBLIC: Is it actually harder now, or does it just feel that way? New Pew data on how young adults see homeownership, education, savings, and jobs, the Minneapolis Fed's argument that we may be measuring American homeownership 12 points wrong, and an honest steel-man of the case that the whole gerontocracy frame is a misdirection. GOOD NEWS: States are revoking data center tax breaks after residents connected their power bills to the building down the road. Solar hit a quarter of all EU electricity for the first time. And a Stanford Medicine trial has kids with multiple food allergies eating full servings safely.

Solar installers are warning of a looming worker shortage, if low-cost loans or subsidies are brought in without any support or training for the wider electrical industry. Many political parties have announced policies boost rooftop solar uptake ahead of this year's election. Some installers have seen demand treble this year already and say the industry is already near capacity. Climate Change correspondent Kate Newton reports.

If you want to install solar on your house, the current process is too slow and costly according to a report that recommends cutting red tape. The review of the solar installation process by the Ministry of Regulation has just been released. Rewiring Aotearoa's CEO Mike Casey spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

The League Episode #51 – Show Notes In this episode of The League, Clean energy demand continues to accelerate as utilities, data centers, manufacturers, and large commercial customers seek more power. Solar, storage, transmission, and nuclear all have major opportunities, but the next phase of industry growth will depend less on demand and more on execution. In this episode of The League, we discuss the growing importance of permitting, interconnection, community engagement, tax-credit certainty, domestic manufacturing, and access to capital. We also examine the rising cost of grid upgrades in ISO New England, the renewed interest in nuclear development, and the continued evolution of tax equity and transferable tax-credit markets. The companies that can navigate complexity, manage risk, and move projects from development to operation will be best positioned to win.   Host Bio: Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Rene Down down down down downu Energy, solar developer and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups.

Doug offers a speculation built from the Ra Material, Christian mysticism, and process philosophy: that concrescence — Whitehead's “the many become one, and are increased by one” — operates vertically across orders of magnitude, and that the Christ event was a oneing of the solar Logos with the sub-sub-Logoic level, which is us. The argument moves through two logjams. The first came before the veil, when third-density beings remembered they were the Creator and evolution crawled at turtle speed; the veil broke it and made third density the axis on which creation turns. The second is here, now, on Terra — a planet of third-density repeaters enmeshed in the Great BASH, the collective thought form built from our inefficient use of bellicosity, showing up energetically as an orange-ray overlay on a green-ray planet. Doug argues that Yahweh is our solar Logos, learning to parent through Venus, Maldek, and Mars, limited by Ra's teaching that a sub-Logos can only supply catalyst to the first triad of energy centers. Once the heart opens, the teaching runs the other way. What follows is the co-presencing of Logos and messenger in one body, the ankh as the shape of loss and renewal, and forgiveness planted as a seed inside the eye of the Great BASH. Discussion follows on whether a God who cannot participate in green ray is still God. Key References:   •Ra 82.18–82.19 — pre-veil third density; “turtle to the cheetah”; the absence of gusto, élan vital •Ra 41.14 — green-ray pressure producing orange-ray manifestation •Ra 9.7 — Martian transfer; “a careful series of genetical adjustments” •Ra 18.20–18.21 — the Anak; the elite-consciousness failure •Ra 54.17 — the sub-Logos offers catalyst only at the first triad •Ra 65.16 — Logos to Logos, Creator to Creator, not parent to child •Ra 17.11–17.12 — Jesus as a wanderer of no name, highest sub-octave of fourth density •Ra 17.20 — forgiveness as the stoppage of the wheel of karma •Ra 17.22 — “not an entity of itself but… a messenger of the One Creator” •Ra 18.12 — forgiveness of other-self is forgiveness of self •Ra 93.24, 94.26 — the crux ansata; all things offering themselves for transformation •Alfred North Whitehead, Process and Reality — concrescence •Richard Rohr, The Universal Christ — “God loves things by becoming them” •Perichoresis (the Greek fathers); the Chalcedonian formula

¿Sientes que tu vida está cambiando y no entiendes por qué justo ahora? ¿Cómo puede un astrólogo saber lo que estás atravesando en este momento y anticipar lo que se viene en los próximos meses? No es adivinación… Son tres técnicas predictivas. La carta natal explica quién eres y de dónde vienes, pero no dice qué estás viviendo hoy. Eso lo revelan las tres técnicas predictivas de la astrología psicológica moderna: Tránsitos, Revolución Solar y Progresiones Secundarias. Tres relojes distintos que, leídos juntos, muestran qué ciclo está terminando, qué nueva etapa comienza, qué necesita transformarse y por qué la vida te está llevando exactamente por este proceso. En este video te explico cómo funciona cada una y qué mira un/a astrólogo/a formado/a cuando lee tu presente. Porque no todo lo que ocurre es casualidad. Y no todo lo difícil es mala suerte.A veces, estás atravesando un momento evolutivo que necesita ser comprendido.

Laurent and Gerard set out to explore one of the biggest ideas emerging alongside the excitement around the SpaceX IPO: datacenters in space. To refuel those satellites emerged the concept of an orbital grid where beams are directed to provide electricity to space crafts, like a gas station in space.  It may sound like science fiction, but it is rapidly becoming a medium-term engineering challenge being tackled by some of the brightest minds of our generation.  One of those pioneers is Andrew Rush, CEO of Star Catcher, a company building what will become the world's first orbital energy grid—a network of satellites capable of wirelessly transmitting power to other spacecraft on demand hundreds of kilometres away.   Andrew is the man for the mission: he previously served on the Technology, Innovation and Engineering Committee of the NASA Advisory Council, helping advise NASA's Administrator, the Office of the Chief Technologist, and its Mission Directorates. Before founding Star Catcher, he successfully built and exited two leading space companies: Redwire and Made-In-Space.  His vision is ambitious: create an "energy-as-a-service" platform for space.  Rather than forcing every satellite to carry increasingly large solar arrays and batteries, spacecraft could draw power from a shared orbital network whenever they need it. If successful, this infrastructure could become as fundamental to the space economy as the electrical grid is on Earth.  Investors are taking notice. Star Catcher has raised approximately $88 million to date, including a recent $65 million Series A led by B Capital, Shield Capital, and Cerberus Ventures. Andrew believes SpaceX's reusable rockets have dramatically reduced the cost of reaching orbit, unleashing an explosion in satellite deployment. The next major bottleneck, however, is no longer launch—it's power. Star Catcher aims to build the energy infrastructure that enables the next generation of space-based industries.  In this conversation, we explore what's real, what's possible, and what's still myth when it comes to energy in space. We also discuss why technologies that once seemed decades away may arrive much sooner than most people expect.   The future of the space economy isn't just about getting to orbit—it's about powering everything that comes next.  Live long and prosper.

China is manufacturing solar panels at a scale that has transformed the economics of the global market. High-efficiency panels leaving China are currently priced at roughly eleven cents per watt. Some domestic Chinese prices are even lower.That sounds extraordinarily cheap. But the panel is only one component of a solar installation.The proper analysis begins with the building's hourly electrical load, not its annual utility bill.Two buildings can consume the same amount of electricity annually and have very different solar economics. A warehouse operating primarily during daylight hours may consume solar power as it is generated. An apartment building may experience its highest common-area loads during the evening, after solar production has declined.Electricity consumed directly inside the building is usually more valuable than electricity exported to the grid. Export compensation can be materially lower than the retail price, depending on the utility tariff.So, is a ten-year break-even compelling?Usually, not by itself.A ten-year payback represents an approximate unlevered return of ten percent before degradation, maintenance, equipment replacement and execution risk. It may still make sense for an owner with a long holding period, a newly replaced roof, strong tax benefits and confidence that the building will remain occupied.A five-year break-even is different. That implies roughly a twenty-percent simple return before considering residual value. For a durable system producing predictable savings, that can be highly attractive.------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Jonathan Dyer emailed: "Hey Marc, Thank you thank you. Lovely programme as always (I'm currently listening … as far as Dál Riata so far… whilst sending the final DDP and artwork off for the album.  So it's really finished.… and trying not to melt in the unseasonably weather that we're really not cut out for. Much love" John Mahony messaged on Patreon: "Mark, thanks and bravo for the stand on AI. It seems it's getting harder and harder to avoid, let alone the impact on the environment and people's jobs in other fields. Let's keep finding ways to support real people making real music! Slainte!" John Sharkey White, II messaged in response to the Plastic Free July PSA: "Hi Mark, I was listening to one of your latest podcasts and, as a physician, thought I could add to your discussion of plastics. I wanted to share some important health information about plastic containers. New research shows that tiny pieces of plastic — called microplastics — may be getting into our bodies more than most people realize. What Are Microplastics? Microplastics are very small plastic pieces, usually smaller than a pencil eraser. They break off from larger plastics over time. Scientists have found these particles in human blood, lungs, liver, and even in unborn babies. This means most people are already being exposed. How Do They Get Into Our Bodies? Plastic food and drink containers are one of the main sources. When plastic containers get scratched, worn out, or heated up, they can release tiny particles into your food or drink. Bottled water and packaged foods are also common sources. Plastics also contain added chemicals — like phthalates and bisphenols — that can leak into what you eat and drink. Why Does It Matter? Scientists are still learning how harmful microplastics really are, but early studies suggest they may cause inflammation, cell damage, and problems with the immune system. Some research also points to possible links with heart disease and reproductive health. Most experts agree that more studies are needed before we fully understand the risks. What Can You Do? The good news is there are simple steps you can take to lower your exposure: Switch to glass, stainless steel, or ceramic containers when you can Never microwave food in plastic — heat causes plastic to release more particles and chemicals Use a reusable stainless - steel water bottle instead of single - use plastic bottles Cut back on bottled water Try to buy food with less plastic packaging Throw away old or scratched plastic containers Dust and vacuum your home regularly — microplastics can float in the air too You probably can't avoid microplastics completely, but these small changes can make a real difference while scientists continue to study the long - term effects."
