Join us on this weeks Energy Espresso “Short Take” to learn about recent developments with major tech leaders reembracing natural gas based power generation. Renewable energy is no longer in vogue and people are scrambling to get electrons. Recent growth numbers in the power generation market are driving demand in data centers, AI, and industrial markets shift towards electrification. Previous goals to transition into renewables have yielded unreliable results and shortfall in generation capacity. Natural Gas is the solution, not a bridge, for fueling power that moves the world. Clean, reliable and domestically produced. In this clip, Dave Bosco shares a recent development where a major tech founder suggests to abandon 2030 climate goals, rely on natural gas and leave the problem-solving to AI.

⭐️News shaping the industry⭐️: David Friedberg, a venture capitalist and co-host of the "All In" podcast, said on an episode last Friday, "More electricity means more automation means more AI means more things are being done... in factories, are being done by machines, ... The regulatory structure prohibits our ability to actually expand electricity production capacity." What are your thoughts on the rise of tech, energy demand, and how offshore renewable power can help? https://lnkd.in/gj4jBBwD

'Catastrophic failures start happening with around the 100 m rotor [diameter] mark.' I am thrilled to share insights from the latest WindEurope monthly podcast, offering a comprehensive overview of discussions from #BladesUSA2024 earlier this year. As quoted above by one of the speakers in the podcast, due to the speed of development, challenges get bigger and bigger. This podcast sheds light on crucial issues surrounding blade health and underscores the importance of continuous monitoring. The comparison to gearbox monitoring from two decades ago is particularly compelling, and today, it's hard to imagine a wind turbine without it. Or perhaps you've already read the latest edition of the PES Wind magazine, where an article highlights a significant trend: 'The cost of unplanned maintenance on wind farms has been growing and currently sits around 65% of total O&M budget...' What is your opinion: WILL #BLADEHEALTHMONITORING FOLLOW A SIMILAR TRAJECTORY, BECOMING WIDESPREAD IN THE FUTURE? Let's connect to delve deeper into this fascinating topic.
