  Data Centers, Energy & the Future of Rural Texas with Commissioner Wayne Christian

  Aug 13, 20261h 2m

  Texas Railroad Commissioner Wayne Christian joins Kirk Offel for a wide-ranging conversation about the infrastructure required to support America’s accelerating demand for artificial intelligence.They explore Texas’ energy advantage, grid reliability, natural gas generation, the potential reuse of produced water for data center cooling, and the role data centers could play in rebuilding rural communities. Commissioner Christian shares examples of how major infrastructure investments can generate property-tax revenue, create local career paths, and allow families to remain in the towns they call home.Kirk and Commissioner Christian also discuss community opposition, responsible site selection, industry communication failures, workforce development, and why developers must speak directly with the people affected by these projects—not simply arrive with polished presentations.At the center of the conversation is a critical question: Can Texas create a model for data center growth that strengthens the grid, protects communities, expands opportunity, and helps secure America’s position in the global AI race?

  Rewiring the Data Center: Drew Baglino on Power, Scale, and the AI Boom

  Aug 6, 20261h 20m

  In this episode of Data Center Revolution, Kirk Offel sits down with Drew Baglino, founder and CEO of Heron Power and an 18-year Tesla engineering veteran, to examine the power architecture behind the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure.Drawing on his experience with power electronics, the Tesla Supercharger network, energy storage, and Megapack, Drew explores whether the industry’s greatest constraint is electricity generation—or the equipment required to move, convert, store, and reliably deliver that electricity.Kirk and Drew break down why 800-volt DC is gaining momentum, how increasing GPU density is changing rack-level power requirements, and how a simplified, modular architecture could remove traditional transformers, switchgear, distribution equipment, and standalone UPS systems. They also discuss safety, redundancy, liquid cooling, water use, capital costs, commissioning timelines, and Heron Power’s path from engineering prototypes to commercial deployment.

  Data Centers vs. Public Perception | DC Blox CTO Jeff Wabik on Nashville, AI & Community Trust

  Jul 27, 20261h 30m

  Data centers have become a convenient scapegoat for rising power costs and decades of underinvestment in America’s energy infrastructure. But are they creating the problem—or exposing a problem that was already there? In this episode of Nine Nines, Mike Sarraille and Kirk Offel examine the White House’s voluntary ratepayer-protection pledge, growing community opposition, New York’s reported one-year moratorium on large data center projects, and xAI’s use of behind-the-meter natural-gas generation. They also explore the role nuclear power and small modular reactors could play in America’s energy future, the impact of regulation on the AI race with China, and the planned nationwide anti-data-center protests bringing opposition from across the political spectrum.
