Title: 19 Lives Lost in Minutes: How One Tragedy Sparked Satellite Tech That Could Save the Next Generation of First Responders

Summary:
In this powerful episode, Andrew speaks with Rod Goossen, founder and CEO of RoGo, about the 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire that killed 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots due to a lack of real-time situational awareness. That tragedy became the catalyst for RoGo’s satellite-powered DropBlock devices, which provide GPS tracking, tactical communications, and hyper-local fire weather data in environments where cell service and radios fall short. From wildland firefighting to hurricanes, earthquakes, and all-hazards response, RoGo is giving first responders and connected workers the life-saving tools they need to stay safe when infrastructure is wiped out.

Energy Trade Show Podcast – CERAWeek 2026 (Part 4)
We’re rolling into Part 4 of our CERAWeek by S&P Global series, where the conversations keep getting deeper, from policy and academia to AI, data centers, and the future of industrial tech

We kick things off with Dr. Monica Gattinger, Professor at the University of Ottawa, who brings a policy and global energy governance lens to CERAWeek. She shares insights on how international collaboration, energy security, and regulatory frameworks are shaping the broader energy transition conversation happening across the conference.

Next, we chat with Nathan Hartwig from Biatech, diving into innovation happening at the intersection of technology and energy systems, and how emerging players are finding opportunities in a rapidly evolving landscape.

We also catch up with Talha Faiz of Candid Technology, who recently made the move from San Francisco to Houston, highlighting the continued shift of energy and tech convergence toward Houston as the epicenter for building real-world energy solutions.

Then, Cyndi Lea of Kraken Engineering sits down with Sam Hodge from World Wide Technology to talk about one of the biggest themes at CERAWeek: data. From industrial environments to hyperscale data centers, they unpack how capturing, structuring, and leveraging data is becoming foundational to AI adoption across energy.

And finally, we wrap with Lance Olmsted from IFS, exploring how industrial AI is moving from buzzword to deployment.

From global policy to boots-on-the-ground AI implementation, Part 4 is all about how energy, data, and technology are converging in real time.

In the lead up to Québec Mining Week, Deirdra speaks with Emmanuelle Toussaint, President and CEO of the Québec Mining Association, who provides an overview of what investors and operators can expect when doing business in the province.

Recorded on the CERAWeek floor in Houston, Emmanuelle discusses Québec’s role in the global mining sector, the province’s strength in critical minerals, and why faster permitting, policy alignment, and early community engagement will be key to unlocking future projects. She also shares how the Québec Mining Association is supporting responsible development across the mining ecosystem, while helping position Québec as a stable, innovative, and competitive jurisdiction for investment.

In this episode of Uneducated Guesses, Kaden talks with Brian Swain from Avathon, a company that develops artificial intelligence applications for industries like energy, manufacturing, and defense. In a twist worthy of a sequel to The Robot Who Loved Energy, the conversation shifts from power grids to a different kind of power—the power to replace, reshape, and create jobs. What starts as a discussion about AI quickly becomes an exploration of how artificial intelligence is already changing the job market, from law firms and medical imaging to software development. Brian explains why AI isn’t simply “taking everyone’s jobs,” but instead changing what kinds of skills and careers will matter in the future. For students trying to figure out where they might fit in a world increasingly influenced by AI, this episode looks at what opportunities might be emerging and why paying attention to the direction technology is heading might be more important than ever.

In this episode recorded live at CERAWeek in Houston, Deirdra sits down with Pat Risner, President of South32’s Hermosa Project, to discuss the transformation of mining in North America.

Pat outlines how the Arizona-based project differs from traditional mining by utilizing a light touch design that requires 90% less water and creates a significantly smaller land footprint than industry standards. As the first mining project to be fast-tracked under the U.S.

Government’s FAST-41 permitting process, Hermosa is positioned to help close a projected 4-million tonne global zinc gap, all while becoming a first-of-its-kind domestic source for battery-grade manganese that will provide generational opportunities for the
local community.
