Great podcast by besties (@theallinpod ) interesting to hear @sama discuss efficiency improvements in AI algorithms and how adaptation and hardware improvements may reduce the power supply bottlenecks. Exactly the point @JohnArnoldFndtn recently made on the hype about demand.

"Forest Fires Are Getting Worse" having to check @AIRNow is becoming common place for those in the north of the US and Canada, this @WorldResources article has a good summary of the worrying trends

Nuclear has to play a part in the future energy mix, practical experience of new plant construction and operations will be key.
Today is a historical day! We’ve declared that Plant Vogtle Unit 3 has entered commercial operation and is now serving customers and the State of Georgia. The new unit represents a long-term investment in the state’s clean energy future and will provide reliable, emissions-free

Love this quote @dharmesh anyone buying SaaS needs to see a workable demo, slides are easy to build software is not.
Lots of SaaS companies are talking about A.I. Some even have slick marketing-generated videos. Here's my take:. Software you can use beats marketing materials you can peruse.

Many records will tumble… #EnergyTransition in full swing. 3 years in a row of new records for interconnection applications in @MISO_energy.
Today in queue news: MISO received almost exactly twice as many interconnections requests year over year. I figured mostly wind, but no!. Solar: 84 GW.Solar + Storage: 34 GW.Storage: 32 GW.Wind: 14 GW

Reminder c.50bn tonnes if CO2e (equivalent) are emitted per annum, about 15bn is not CO2…. Progress is needed on all fronts. #climate.
This is a huge, huge climate win that got very little hype.

Another great piece of research form @JesseJenkins punchline is without significant transmission buildout emissions go up as renewables can not get on the grid while load is increasing due to electrification.

Always fascinated with vertical farming. 30 foot towers, no pesticide, granted higher energy use but surely with exploding global population and increasing food requirements this approach will see exponential growth.
The farming technology company Plenty is gearing up to build its biggest indoor complex yet. The $300 million facility will grow multiple crops, including strawberries, leafy greens and tomatoes. How will it work? 🧵

Great use of distributed #Energystorage Not all grids will be able to draw from households without further investment in grid upgrades.
Utility Rocky Mountain Power is actively controlling thousands of batteries in customers’ homes, on a daily basis, and paying them directly for helping the grid through its Wattsmart program
