  • Not deep

    Show has gone downhill in the last year. No depth, just jumping around one topic to the next with different speakers in each episode.

  • Not as good as the original

    Hosts seem unable to spot greenwashing or ask good questions, leaving assertions by CCR, Nat gas, and nuclear advocates unchallenged.

Why biomining might finally work: How Endolith is using microbes and data to unlock more copper from low-grade ore
Q: Tell me about you and your origin story.
Liz Dennett shares how Endolith evolved from a long-standing interest in copper and a pivot from academia to entrepreneurship, culminating in a practical, on-site bioleaching approach that pairs microbial miners with cloud-based data to unlock low-grade ore.
As racks scale, power must change: The AC-to-DC rethink inside AI factories
Q: So let's get started and let's just take a step back because I think a lot of people within the audience, they have heard about the term AI factory, but what does that really is?
An AI factory is infrastructure engineered to produce intelligence at industrial scale, where power delivery, cooling, and computing are tightly integrated to support dense, dynamic AI workloads from grid to rack.
The grid's missing operating system: Why a $100,000 AI controller could defer trillions in hardware and why utilities won't buy it
Q: Walk me through this software controller at a substation. How does it actually work in practice?
Kay explains a $100k, fully installed substation controller that uses flexible operating envelopes and real-time price signals to remotely adjust load and generation, coordinating signals to VPPs and individual assets to defer or avoid traditional hardware upgrades.
