·38 min·2 clips

Will says the company values gas fields as gigawatts, not gas reserves.

1. Marathon Money Podcast focuses on New Era Energy and Digital’s pivot from New Era Helium toward data-center power in West Texas. 2. Kenny hosts the conversation, and Will Gray appears as CEO and chairman of New Era Energy and Digital, which matters because he is the person steering the pivot. 3. The episode asks whether a Permian Basin energy company can become a power-and-real-estate platform for AI data centers. 4. Will says the company filed a late press release telling shareholders it is NASDAQ compliant after a rough de-SPAC period. 5. He says the firm now treats its gas field as "gigawatts" instead of gas reserves. 6. Will argues that selling electrons is more profitable than selling gas molecules. 7. He cites Applied Digital and Fermi as examples of the type of businesses the company wants to emulate. 8. He says the site-selection process depends on fiber corridors, water, easements, and air permitting, not just nearby gas lines. 9. Will says the West Texas site is 1.8 miles from I-20 and on the same fiber corridor as Abilene and Stargate. 10. He says the company can use desal from existing oil-production water and design closed-loop cooling systems. 11. Will says an attainment-zone site can qualify for a minor source air permit in 10 to 90 days, while a source air permit can take almost two years. 12. He says Texas SB6 now requires grid-connected data centers to have behind-the-meter backup. 13. Will says hyperscalers need 99.999% uptime and that each minute of downtime can cost about $1 million. 14. He says the company owns 235 acres outright and has another 203 acres under a secured option. 15. Will says the combined 438 acres could support two powered islands and still stay under minor source air permitting. 16. He says the first project is a joint venture with Thunderhead and Texas Critical Data Centers, while Sharon AI is the data-center partner in the 50-50 JV. 17. The tone is technical and sales-oriented, with long explanations about fiber, gas pipelines, and ERCOT. 18. The format is an interview between Kenny and Will, with Kenny pressing on milestones, tenant timing, and investor relevance. 19. Best for investors tracking AI infrastructure, Texas energy, and data-center power. 20. Skip if you want a light, nontechnical market chat.

As heard by us

A de-SPAC pivot story built around behind-the-meter data centers.

New Era Energy and Digital reads as a de-SPAC pivot story with an operating angle. The company is repositioning around behind-the-meter data centers rather than its original helium business, and the NASDAQ compliance update sets the stage for that shift.
