Two New TV Shows Confront the Defining Forces of Our Time—AI, Energy, and the Future of Civilization

Hosted by Todd Thomas on NOWMEDIA^TV, Abundant Energy and Infinite Future deliver bold insights and real-world solutions at the intersection of technology, infrastructure, and global progress

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NOWMEDIA Television Networks today announced the debut of two original series hosted by tech entrepreneur and bestselling author Todd Thomas: Abundant Energy and Infinite Future—two ambitious shows designed to tackle the most urgent and consequential shifts shaping the global economy.

At a time when artificial intelligence is accelerating human capability while simultaneously straining the world’s energy systems, these series bring clarity, urgency, and solutions to the forefront. Together, they explore how humanity can scale innovation, power the digital era, and build a future defined not by scarcity—but by abundance.

Abundant Energy with Todd Thomas
Exploring the infrastructure challenges behind the AI and electrification era

Abundant Energy with Todd Thomas premieres May 19 at 9 p.m. CT on NOWMEDIA^TV, with new episodes airing every Tuesday at 9 p.m. CT.

The series focuses on the growing collision between rising energy demand and the technologies driving modern life — from AI data centers and electric vehicles to smart infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, and next-generation power systems. Rather than focusing only on climate headlines or theoretical solutions, Abundant Energy examines the real-world infrastructure, operational, and economic challenges required to scale electrification and power the digital economy.

Each episode features conversations with engineers, policymakers, climate scientists, and innovators working across oil and gas, renewables, nuclear, hydro, biomass, and next-generation hybrid systems. The show explores how emerging approaches—from power-positive data centers to waste-to-energy solutions—can create a scalable path forward.

The premiere episode features Sara Sloman, internationally recognized sustainability advocate, EV infrastructure expert, and host of the EV Café podcast. In the episode, Thomas and Sloman explore one of the biggest barriers to mass EV adoption: the charging experience itself. Drawing on Sloman’s expertise in sustainable transport, charging infrastructure, and payment systems, the conversation examines how unreliable chargers, confusing payments, unclear pricing, and poor user experiences continue to undermine consumer confidence.

The episode also explores the industry’s shift toward more seamless “tap and go” charging systems, along with the operational challenges facing fleets and cities as transportation electrifies at scale. Expanding into the future of intelligent energy systems, Thomas and Sloman discuss AI-powered charging optimization, vehicle-to-grid technology, distributed energy systems, and the growing pressure that EV adoption and AI infrastructure are placing on modern electrical grids—positioning EV charging as a critical component of future energy infrastructure.

Abundant Energy is designed for leaders and decision-makers who recognize that powering the future requires bold thinking, cross-sector collaboration, and immediate action.

Infinite Future with Todd Thomas
Examining the technologies, machines, and systems reshaping the next generation of society

Infinite Future with Todd Thomas premieres May 22 at 9 p.m. CT on NOWMEDIA^TV, with new episodes airing every Friday at 9 p.m. CT.

The series explores the emerging technologies redefining transportation, artificial intelligence, robotics, infrastructure, automation, and the relationship between humans and machines.

Designed to move beyond speculation and hype, Infinite Future focuses on the real-world implementation of breakthrough technologies and the people actively building the systems shaping the future. Each episode features in-depth discussions with founders, engineers, futurists, and policymakers who are building the next generation of technologies. The series goes beyond surface-level trends to examine real-world implementation, economic implications, ethical considerations, and long-term sustainability.

The premiere episode features Alex Roy, legendary automotive journalist, endurance driver, autonomous vehicle advocate, and founder of Autonocast. Arriving in the same vehicle used in his autonomous Cannonball Run experiments, Roy gives viewers an inside look at the sensors, AI-assisted driving systems, mapping tools, and real-time software powering modern autonomous vehicles. The conversation explores Roy’s history with endurance driving and autonomous vehicle testing, including his famous 2006 Cannonball Run record drive from New York to Los Angeles, while examining how AI-powered driving systems have evolved from experimental technology into platforms capable of completing thousands of miles with minimal human intervention. Beyond the technology itself, Thomas and Roy discuss how artificial intelligence may reshape transportation, infrastructure, logistics, and the future relationship between humans and machines over the next decade.

Infinite Future is built for builders, operators, and visionaries who see the future as something to be engineered—not predicted.

A New Platform for Innovation, Infrastructure, and Real-World Solutions

Together, Abundant Energy and Infinite Future aim to provide viewers with more than commentary. The programs are designed to explore the operational realities, infrastructure challenges, and practical implementation behind the technologies transforming modern society.

The shows seek to deliver tactical knowledge, compelling insights, and actionable strategies that empower top-tier business owners, thought leaders, innovators, and visionary entrepreneurs to improve and grow their businesses while navigating rapid technological change.
