The Benefits of Bubbles
We are in an AI Bubble: the big question is if this bubble will worth it for the physical infrastructure and coordinated innovation that result?

I just spoke to WGME CBS/Fox last night about a data center proposed for an old Maine mill. Lewiston's climate and water resources are a better fit than in the southern US, but city managers still overestimate the benefits to local economies—about 20 jobs post-construction, many remote.

Podcast ep 202: "Acting as if" for hoarding disorder
In this episode, I talk about the idea of "acting as if" - taking action before you fully believe you can, and using that to chip away at compulsive hoarding behaviours. I share stories from my own life, including how channelling others’ confidence helped me move through paralysing shyness, and how small steps can help shift thinking around possessions and habits. It’s all about behaving your way to progress, even when your feelings haven’t caught up yet. Listen in to find out more, inclu…

Solar panels and crops growing together? It's called agrivoltaics, and it just got a major boost.
DC-based Okovate acquired startup Fundusol to integrate Stanford & Carnegie Mellon tech that optimizes solar arrays for different crops using genetic algorithms. The goal: make solar farming economically viable for rural communities across the US.

Agrivoltaic Company Okovate Acquires Stanford University & Carnegie Mellon Tech Startup - CleanTechnica
Support CleanTechnica's work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. Agrivoltaics have been the name of the game in the past few years in the solar power industry. On the surface, it seems simple — find farmland that could benefit from co-location with solar power plants, and then plop some ... [continued]

Australia's renewable energy boom is coming—and it could solve a surprising problem.
Over the next decade, we'll build more clean energy infrastructure than the past 30 years combined. But where will thousands of construction workers live in regional towns already facing housing shortages?
A new RE-Alliance report shows worker accommodation can become lasting community assets: refurbished aged-care homes, workforce villages transformed into suburbs.

SwitchedOn podcast: Renewable construction boom can help fix regional housing crisis
RE-Alliance’s national director, Andrew Bray, discusses how the energy transition can deliver important consumer benefits, particularly in housing.
