Energy Experiences and Powder Watts with Thomas Clardy

On this episode, we welcome Thomas Clardy from Powder Watts. Powder Watts is a technological solution that helps to manage the energy expenditures associated with heating coils on roofs, which are meant to melt snow and ice to prevent roof damage. But beyond that, this product is part of a broader strategy to help direct wasted energy into powering artificial intelligence. We talk about how regional and national competitiveness is linked to AI, and how energy infrastructure is lagging behind. We explore how to change behaviors through technological interfaces, and framing how outcomes have larger benefits. And we talk about how The Matrix may have been more of a documentary than a Sci-Fi film.
