Column built an issuer processor from scratch
Today on Volts: Verrus wants to build data centers that use very little water, run quietly, and rely on giant batteries rather than diesel or natgas generators, which can make them grid assets that help reduce power prices. It hasn't overcome local opposition. I talk with the CEO.

Published in 2023
Time is running out for the planet Jai. The artificially intelligent Gods who rule the galaxy have withdrawn their protection from the chaos-ravaged world, just as their most ancient enemy closes in. For Yasira Shien, who has devoted herself to the fragile planet’s nascent rebellion, it’s time to do or die – and the odds are overwhelming.
Enter Dr. Evianna Talirr.
Talirr, the visionary who decimated the planet and began its rebellion, is not a woman to be trusted. But she’s returned with an unsettling prophecy: the only way to save Jai is for Yasira to die.
Yasira knows it can’t be that simple. But as she frantically searches for other options, what she finds will upend everything she knew about the Gods, the galaxy she lives in, and herself.
OSPREYS: ‘I’ll take it with both hands’: Foketi settling fast after Wallaby switch to Swansea
Lalakai Foketi says he is loving life at the Ospreys, and is ready to take his chance when it comes after settling quickly following his summer move from New Zealand’s Chiefs.
The 31-year-old Australia centre was one of a clutch of Wallabies to join the region over the summer, and featured in Friday’s pre-season defeat at Ulster as he builds towards the new season.
“I’m loving it here, and I’ve been talking to Mark Jones from day one. The boys have made me feel very welcome and the environment’s great,” said Foketi.
“Everyone wants to learn and everyone’s competing this early in pre-season. I love it.”
A warm welcome, and warmer weather
Foketi has made the most of a Welsh summer that has surprised even the locals, though he is bracing his family for the change of season to come.
“I went to the beach yesterday on the day off. Whenever the Aussie boys come to see you, they bring the weather with them,” he said.
“The boys have said this is the best summer they’ve ever had, so I’m just lapping it in. I’m waiting for the family to arrive so they can experience it, because if they come straight into winter they’re going to have to keep the jumpers on from Australia. But it’s great for training and for footy.”
The centre singled out two of his new teammates for helping him settle.
“Big Tommy Rogers, Big Morgz, Morgan Morris, all the lads have made me feel very welcome and offered all their help,” he said. “I honestly couldn’t speak highly enough of the lads.”
‘A lot of talent and a lot of competition’
Foketi arrives with genuine pedigree. Born in New Zealand, he came through the Chiefs pathway before a Super Rugby career that took in the Rebels, a spell in France with Bayonne and more than 80 appearances for the Waratahs, and he won the last of his eight Australia caps having made his debut against Wales in Cardiff in 2021.
He knows he joins a centre group already deep in options, and is ready for the fight.
“I’ve come here to compete and to add my game to this team. There’s a lot of talent here and a lot of competition already,” he said.
“So when I get the opportunity, I’ll take it with both hands and give it 110% for the club and for the community.”
The Ospreys open their United Rugby Championship season away to the Hollywoodbets Sharks in Durban on Saturday 26 September.

Ist KI verlässlich? Oder ist KI verlässlicher als mancher Lokaljournalismus?
Ich hab den KN-Artikel durch ein LLM laufen lassen und gebeten, zu prüfen ob und wie weit Positionen der CDU darin übernommen und wie Behauptungen eingeordnet werden. Dazu sollten nur öffentlich zugängliche Quellen genutzt werden.
Das Ergebnis ist eine sachlichere und transparentere Einordnung der politischen Behauptungen in faktische Sachverhalte.
Welchen Mehrwert hat die KN über den eines Megaphons hinaus?
