I asked Google NotebookLM to create an infographic for my career journey, I think I like it. What do you think?

This (1) is vital, long ignored, truth telling that is great to see from any candidate for public office; (2) is expert; (3) outlines the creative destruction we must see in all energy markets; and (4) embeds within it ‘utility collapse’ risk almost no one is pricing now.

This is a brilliant essay from Janet Kang, who leads Just Horizons Alliance, where I am a proud board member: “The AI Safety Crisis Isn't a Surprise...We Just Act Like It Is. And why the next wave of AI harms will be invisible”

Why does Ireland fund the arts and artists? Impressive effort at defining, and quantifying, the returns on this investment:

I feel seen. This was me, a few years ago. Of course, only at my personal scale so no one cared about my letter but me. But, I do feel seen 😉

Impact weight all risk analysis. Act on that analysis or get crushed by everything you are ignoring and by those doing your job better than you are.

“The shift to renewables represents an agricultural revolution for energy…Much as granaries and refrigeration transformed food markets, storage will turn electricity from perishable to persistent, unlocking a new era of energy abundance.”

“monetising the ecosystem services: the economic benefits that humanity gets free of charge from nature. For the Amazon these fall into three categories: the storage of billions of tonnes of carbon; the regulation of vast flows of water; and acting as a reservoir of biodiversity”

This is America now. Those who support and enable the Trump cult own all of this and will for the rest of their lives, and beyond.

The nation will one day recover from all of this insatiable ignorance and venal corruption. But, those complicit in it will never be forgiven.

165,000 people in nyc today showing what democracy looks like, how vital it is to fight for it, and how angry we are at the Trump Cult and all of its suporters and enablers. This anger is both inspiring and frightening. Channeling it into positive change is everything now.

Inspiration can be hard to come by these days. I’m grateful for the inspiration I was able to experience at a fireside chat I was invited to give last week as a Senior Fellow @nyusps.bsky.social Center for Global Affairs. They put me to work on some great topics.

Q: are you serving the planet or are you making money?

A: yes

Every other answer is wrong.

None of this $1.1T utility spend is designed to meet energy demand by taking current woeful grid utilization rates higher. Why? Because utilities are NOT planning on investing $1.1T, they are planning on spending it for guaranteed returns paid for by massive rate hikes regardless of performance.

This is who America has decided to be now.

Donald Trump is an insatiably ignorant, violently corrupt, and insanely awful human being. He always has been. His supporters and enablers own this, all of it, and will for the rest of their days and beyond.

Fight back.

The AI energy frenzy is causing us to miss a vital opportunity: hyperscalers are uniquely profitable customers, with negligible electricity costs/ROI, who would gladly turn data centers into grid assets vs liabilities for speed to power.
