    The KJ Show Episode 129: The False Promises of Electrification
    May 21 2025
    Electrification sounds like a good idea. Everything is powered using carbon-free sources, such as wind, solar, and hydro. But electrification isn't practical for everyone or every jurisdiction. In fact, some governments are rethinking their electrification policy as they weigh the costs against the benefits.

    On today's show, Jeff Ihnen, President of MichaelsEnergy, will join our discussion on electrification. As an engineer who has worked in the energy industry for nearly 30 years, Jeff brings a unique perspective regarding the challenges facing the industry, especially the push for electrification.

    Please tune into The KJ Show and join our host, Dr. Katherine Johnson, for this lively discussion. You can also share your thoughts by calling 866-451-1451 or sending your comments to kjohnson@johnsonconsults.com.

  • The KJ Show #127 - AI’s Insatiable Appetite

    The KJ Show #127 - AI’s Insatiable Appetite
    Apr 25 2025
    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a true disruptor- changing how we work and interact. But it is also a major energy user.

    The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that global data centers will use around 415 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity in 2024, or roughly 1.5% of global power usage. This figure is expected to more than double to 945 TWh by 2030 and could reach as high as 1,720 TWh by 2035- which is roughly the equivalent of the electric usage in Japan.

    Dr Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the IEA, explains that this explosive growth requires more electricity, which "has major consequences for the global energy sector. There is no AI without energy – specifically electricity."

    But how will the aging global electric grid meet these new demands? On today's show, our
    host Dr. Katherine Johnson will discuss the implications that AI has on energy usage and sustainability.

    Join the KJ Show at 11 a.m. Eastern Wednesday (https://boldbravetv.com/11am-the-kj-show/). Share your thoughts by calling 866-451-1451 or sending your comments to kjohnson@johnsonconsults.com.
