With the end of Trump era, comes the end of AI/data center grift. Which was a scheme to create wealth for few, and illusion of prosperity for many (via stock market). And to give cover to otherwise reckless policies of wars, inflation, pollution and corruption.

7 months ago, AOC and I introduced an AI data center moratorium. Last night, 43 of 44 communities voted for one locally. Americans don’t want Big Tech oligarchs wrecking the environment, gutting jobs and threatening humanity’s future. NATIONAL DATA CENTER MORATORIUM NOW

Top of the Democratic agenda on day 1 needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence.

It’s an example. A metaphor. Sometimes you take a job, not because you like it , or it pays enough. You take the fucking shitty job because it pays more than not having a job. You learn everything you can while working that job, in hope of maybe being promoted or preparing for your next job. Or you sit on your ass. Collect unemployment as long as you can and do whatever. We all make choices. Some people are willing to grind. Some are not. Just the way it is.

McDonald’s was never intended to be an adult full time job. It’s for high school and younger people and is considered a supplemental income type job, not a career. Get a brain.

Isn't it impossible? With all due respect to the folks at RFF, how can they justify any of this?

I've uncovered why LADWP water rates are skyrocketing. LADWP's supplier said water conservation was too successful, leading water use/revenue to collapse— justifying a 40% rate hike. They asked us to save water, so we did. But we saved too much, so they're spiking our rates.

I could definitely see that being a path forward - the DC contracts with another load with a lower VOLL to curtail on their behalf. So, at what price are you willing to sell your resource adequacy to Meta for 100 hours/year?

If you live inside the white line, your power grid is on an emergency alert today. That's this October heat, plus a lot of power plants down for fall maintenance. You don't have to do anything.

Ooooof. Short report from Morpheus research on $FRVO Fervo Energy released last week looks brutal. Deep technical breakdown, interviews with ex-employees. Very thorough. Haven’t read the full report (long read), so won’t lazily share it. But it’s google-able if interested.

One funny thing about the environmentalist groups who don’t like permitting reform is that, well, of course you don’t like it. You’re the people who abuse NEPA and cause the problems the bill is trying to solve. Drunk drivers don’t like bills cracking down on drunk driving either

The Senator isn't kidding about BAAJA fixing inter-agency issues! If agencies fail to act on interagency dispute resolutions, the head of the agency is banned from traveling more than 25 miles (for business) The more I read BAAJA the better it gets! teapawt.org/SenWhitehouse/status/2…

And it does nothing. Absolutely nothing. Just restates current law. And that's the point. If it actually constrained data center construction, the AI industry would oppose it and Trump would kill it.
