AI Energy Teams & Solar Developers - PPAs & Grid Strategy

Why Solar + AI is the defining energy story of this decade Here's a number that should stop you mid-scroll: training a single large AI model can consume as much electricity as 5 average American cars produce in CO2 over their entire lifetimes. Meanwhile, solar just became the cheapest source of electricity in human history-cheaper than coal, gas, and nuclear, in most of the world. These two facts are not unrelated. They are, in fact, the central tension of the next decade of energy. The demand shock nobody planned for When hyperscalers like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon built their 2020–2025 capacity plans, ChatGPT didn't exist. A standard Google search uses roughly 0.3 watt-hours of electricity. A ChatGPT query uses nearly 10 times that. Multiply that across billions of daily interactions, and you begin to understand why data center electricity demand in the US is projected to double by 2030 after being essentially flat for a decade. Virginia alone - home to the world's largest concentration of data centers - is staring down a power demand growth curve that its grid was simply never designed to handle. Dominion Energy, the state's primary utility, has had to tear up its forecasts multiple times in the last two years. Why solar is the only answer that scales fast enough New nuclear takes 15 years and billions in overruns. Natural gas locks in decades of emissions and volatile fuel costs. Wind is constrained by geography. Solar, by contrast, can go from signed contract to generating electricity in 18–24 months at utility scale and the cost has dropped 90% in the last 15 years. This is why Amazon signed agreements for over 100GW of renewable energy. Why Microsoft struck the largest single clean energy deal in history. Why Google has been running on matched renewable energy since 2017. These aren't PR moves. They're infrastructure decisions driven by hard economics: a data center locked into expensive grid power is a data center that loses on operating cost to every competitor who isn't. What this means for the industry The companies that will define the next era of both AI and clean energy aren't just the ones building the best models or the most efficient panels. They're the ones solving the hardest problem at the intersection: how do you deliver reliable, round-the-clock power to a facility that never sleeps, using a source that only generates during daylight? Battery storage, grid interconnection strategy, power purchase agreement structuring, behind-the-meter generation - these are now core competencies for any serious AI infrastructure operator. And for solar developers, the hyper-scaler customer is transforming the economics of the entire industry. Over the next several weeks, I'll be digging into each piece of this puzzle- from how utility-scale solar actually works, to why some solar companies are thriving while others are going bankrupt, to what skills and roles will matter most in this converging industry. To start the conversation: Do you think AI companies are doing enough to address their energy footprint, or is the "we buy renewable credits" approach just greenwashing? Would love to hear from people working in either industry.

Medical & Science Journalists - Embargoed Long COVID - ISLC-PAIS

As a medical and science journalist with Long COVID, I’ve been searching for an organisation I can volunteer with to report on #LongCOVID and #MECFS science literally for YEARS and I finally found one! 🥳 I’m thrilled to be working as a #scicom and #media engagement volunteer with Rob Wüst and Michael Chapman to support the first ISLC-PAIS Conference in Amsterdam, which kicks off towards the end of August. I’ll be reaching out to medical and #sciencejournalists who have an interest in this area to share some of the (embargoed) breaking science news stories from the conference, and I’ll be connecting with Long COVID patient advocates who are doing important communications work within the communities they support. (Let me know how I can best support you! [email redacted]) I won’t have capacity to cover all the fascinating science that is being presented (see the program here: www.islc-pais.org/program) but there will be recordings available on demand after the conference (at a cost but complimentary for some specialist reporters on request). Here are some of the sessions I’m most keen on hearing: - Why is policy still failing Long COVID & PAIS patients in many countries? (David Kelly, David Putrino & Narita Saija) - Long COVID in Children: Defining Disease Through Clinical Observation and Biomarkers (Lael Yonker) - Long-term recovery throughout 5 years after COVID-19 in both hospitalised and non-hospitalised individuals (Karolina Stjernström) - Mechanism First: How PAIS Trials Must Evolve(Michael Peluso) Patient-centred treatment of Long COVID in the absence of (inter)national guidelines. (Binita Kane) - Exploring the impact of Long Covid and support received in comparison with other chronic conditions using GP Patient Survey Data (England) 2023 (Mirembe Woodrow) - Long COVID-associated diagnoses among children and adolescents – an analysis of nationwide ambulatory claims data in Germany (Julia Nübel) - The Neurobiology of sleep in Long COVID (David Joffe) I can only volunteer in this role because I’m now on so many effective medications for Long COVID, #POTS and #dysautonomia. So, for the first time in 5 years, I can tolerate doing a bit more additional work. (Yes, I might be going a bit overboard with that newfound freedom… woo hoo #science!) I made a promise to myself that if I got a bit better, I would dedicate part of my time to Long COVID advocacy, particularly to help children who are dealing with severe Long COVID and are currently being overlooked by governments worldwide - more to come on that too as I’ve got a feature brewing with The Sick Times! https://lnkd.in/gMbY_6ER

Does your sleep data make you feel more anxious, or more conscious of your sleep? Have you taken your sleep data to a doctor because you've been so worried about it? Have you found yourself becoming fixated, or even obsessed, with your sleep data? This is for a feature article on the BBC News website, and a potential video for social media - so please do let me know if you're also willing to appear on camera. Please be assured that this will be sensitively reported, with nuance and care.

Business Owners - Honest Tales of Failure, Sacrifice & Impact

Looking for business owners with a story to tell. I'm not looking for polished success stories. I'm looking for the moments that almost broke you. I'm looking for business owners who are willing to have an honest, uncensored conversation about entrepreneurship—the failures, the sleepless nights, the financial pressure, the mistakes, the sacrifices, and the impact building a business has had on their lives and their families. Whether you've: - Built a business from$0 to six figures - Scaled toseven or eight figures - Hit a wall and couldn't grow - Closed a business - Lost everything and started over - Successfully exited one or more businesses ...I want to hear your story. We are not going to pretend that everything was easy. I want to talk about: - The failures nobody sees. - The decisions you regret. - The moments you wanted to quit. - The effect entrepreneurship had on your marriage, your kids, your friendships, and your mental health. - What you would do differently if you could start over. - And what success actually looks like today. Because the truth is... Entrepreneurship changes you. Sometimes it builds you. Sometimes it breaks you. Most of the time, it does both. My goal is simple: create conversations that remind business owners they aren't alone. Selected guests may also be featured in my upcoming book,The Visibility Blueprint, which explores the stories, lessons, and moments that shape entrepreneurs long before the world notices their success. If you're willing to have a real conversation—not just share your highlights—I'd love to hear from you. Comment below, refer someone or send me a DM.
