Field notes · Fleet Charging
Fleet Charging
Depots, last-mile hubs, transit yards, school districts. Megawatt charging on sites the grid feeds in kilowatts.

The Inconvenient Truth About "Carbon-Free" Transportation
Fleet emissions depend on the vehicle, electricity supply and fuel pathway. Compare the full lifecycle.

School Districts Ordered Electric Buses. Then the Power Bill Came.
Thousands of electric buses on order. Nobody budgeted for the grid upgrade.

Europe Is Buying EVs Faster Than It Can Charge Them
More electric fleets need charging capacity. Utility connection plans vary by site.

Every Fleet Operator I've Met Has the Same Problem
The trucks are ordered. The chargers are budgeted. The depot can't get power.

Field notes · Edge Compute
Edge Compute
Inference and 5G at street level. The compute moved to the edge. The power didn't.
Jun 19, 2026 · Rony Baum
The Machine Intelligence Infrastructure Gap
Edge data centers and EV fleets both need power the utility model can't deliver in time.
Apr 27, 2026 · Matias Kopinsky
5G Promised the Future. It Forgot to Budget for Power.
5G and AI inference push compute to locations that were never wired for it.

AI's Biggest Bottleneck Isn't Chips. It's Power.
Hyperscale training will get its power. Edge inference won't, and that's where AI meets the user.

Edge Data Centers Have a Power Problem Nobody's Solving
Everyone asks where to put the compute. Almost nobody asks where the power comes from.

Field notes · Ports & Maritime
Ports & Maritime
Shore-power requirements, berth electrification and the capacity to support them.
Apr 3, 2026 · Rony Baum
Electrifying Port Cranes Sounds Great. Until You Do the Math on Power.
Each crane needs 1-2 MW. A busy terminal runs 6-12 cranes. The grid can't carry it.

Shore Power Rules Are Moving Faster Than Port Infrastructure.
Shore-power requirements are expanding. Ports need site-specific capacity and compliance plans.

Field notes · Commercial & Industrial
Commercial & Industrial
Hospitals, plants, buildings, job sites. The panel is full and the utility says wait.

Behind the Meter vs. In Front of the Meter: What It Means When Your Site Needs More Power
Two sides of one small device decide which rules, queues and permits apply to new power.

Hospitals Can't Afford to Lose Power. Their Backup Plans Are Outdated.
Lives depend on 100% uptime. Most backup is aging diesel tested once a month.
May 29, 2026 · Matias Kopinsky
Construction Runs on Diesel. That's About to Change.
Low-emission zones are closing in on one of the last all-diesel industries.
May 19, 2026 · Rony Baum
Europe's Grid Is Full. Its Electrification Targets Are Not.
Germany has 720 GW pending. Italy has 340 GW queued. The grid was built for another era.

Your Building Needs More Power Than the Grid Can Give It
The electrical panel is maxed out and the utility quote says years.

Field notes · Oil & Gas
Oil & Gas
Frac crews burn diesel a few hundred feet from wells that flare gas. Fuel and load, feet apart.

The Stranded-Gas Opportunity at the Wellsite
151 billion cubic meters of associated gas flared globally in a year. That's fuel, not waste.

The Frac Fleet's Dirty Secret: $240K a Year in Diesel Nobody Talks About
175 U.S. frac fleets, each burning 5.5 million gallons of diesel a year.
