Abundant Energy

In this episode of Abundant Energy, host Todd Thomas welcomes Elena Skorupan and Sabrina Mejia from Yates Construction to examine how embodied carbon, low-carbon building materials and sustainable construction practices are changing the way major infrastructure projects are planned and delivered.

The conversation focuses on moving sustainability beyond corporate commitments and into measurable decisions on construction sites.

In this episode of Abundant Energy, host Todd Thomas welcomes Stephanie Pierucci, founder of Pierucci Publishing, bestselling author and marketing strategist, to explore how entrepreneurs can turn nonfiction books into powerful business assets that build authority, attract investors and generate long-term revenue.

Drawing from their collaboration on Todd’s latest book, Starving for Innovation, Stephanie explains why successful business book publishing begins with a clear commercial strategy, compelling storytelling and a deep understanding of the target audience.

In this episode of Abundant Energy, host Todd Thomas welcomes Alejandro Codón, a strategic management and business transformation leader, for a discussion on how companies can adopt artificial intelligence, improve operational efficiency and scale without sacrificing profitability.

Rather than investing in AI simply to keep up with competitors, Alejandro explains why organizations must evaluate implementation costs, return on investment (ROI), business processes and measurable performance before deploying automation or agentic AI.

In this episode of Abundant Energy, host Todd Thomas speaks with Jean-Louis Kindler, CEO of Clean Energy Enterprises and Ways2H, about how difficult waste streams can become a source of renewable hydrogen, clean distributed energy and long-term carbon reduction.

The conversation explores how municipal solid waste, plastics, biomass and other organic refuse can be transformed from a disposal problem into valuable clean energy feedstock. Jean-Louis explains how Ways2H uses a non-incineration thermal chemical process to break down waste at high temperatures, produce hydrogen and capture CO2 for sequestration or beneficial reuse.

In this episode of Abundant Energy, host Todd Thomas welcomes back Sara Sloman, presenter, strategic advisor to the EV industry and fleet strategy consultant, for a practical conversation on the next phase of electric mobility: fleet electrification, heavy-duty trucks and the real-world charging experience.

Sara returns as the show’s first recurring guest, bringing new insight from earning her HGV license and preparing to drive an all-electric 44-ton truck in the UK EV Rally.

In this episode of Abundant Energy, host Todd Thomas speaks with Alana Spencer, co-founder and managing partner of Alma Environmental Partners, about how climate resilience, ESG strategy and sustainable infrastructure are becoming essential to long-term business performance in the AI era.

As artificial intelligence accelerates energy demand and infrastructure growth, this conversation explores why organizations must design buildings, communities and systems that can adapt to climate pressures while creating measurable economic, environmental and social value.

In this episode of Abundant Energy, host Todd Thomas speaks with Matthew Wheeler, General Manager of WoodChuck.ai, about how construction waste, wood waste and overlooked material streams can become a powerful source of renewable energy, cost savings and measurable sustainability.

The conversation explores how millions of tons of recoverable wood, cardboard, plastic and metal still end up in landfills, even though much of that material holds economic and environmental value.

In this episode of Abundant Energy, host Todd Thomas speaks with Stephanie Pierucci and Angela Costa about why breakthrough ideas in clean energy, AI infrastructure, sustainability and circular systems need more than innovation they need clear, human storytelling.

The conversation explores how companies, founders and mission-driven leaders can communicate complex topics like renewable energy, waste diversion, carbon-negative infrastructure, data centers, public trust and community impact in a way people can understand, believe and repeat.

In this episode of Abundant Energy, host Todd Thomas speaks with Randy Ai about the invisible energy, water and infrastructure costs behind the rapid growth of artificial intelligence. As AI tools, large language models and hyperscale data centers become part of everyday life, the conversation explores what most users never see: the electricity, cooling systems, water usage and physical infrastructure required to power every prompt, model and cloud-based service.

In this episode of Abundant Energy, host Todd Thomas speaks with Nicholas Bagatelos, President of Net Zero Envelope, about how high-performance building envelopes, advanced glass and smarter facade design can reduce energy demand in the AI era. As hyperscale data centers and always-on computing put new pressure on the grid, the conversation highlights why walls, windows, insulation and construction materials are critical to building a more efficient energy future.
