It’s what we have been preaching. Data centers should be looked at as grid resources. Emissions permits need to factor this in (hint- they don’t). Additionally, if regulatory bodies would allow it CapEx from data center operators could fund transmissions needs as well as.
@chriscrosby13 Thanks for sharing this. If that’s the case, it would seem like offering ~0.2% annual flexibility to grid operators would be relatively straightforward?

This.
One of the biggest puzzles I’ve run into in the data center world: why is there widespread perception that data centers operate 24/7/365 at near-maximum demand, when their actual utilization appears significantly lower? . I spoke about this yesterday with state energy officials

It’s so good…unsupervised mode needs to come to Dallas.
As I’ve said previously, unsupervised full self-driving Teslas will be carrying passengers in Austin in June and many cities in America by end of year. This will enable passenger cars to increase in utility by roughly half an order of magnitude overnight with a software update.

Question: How would this be any different than “The Church” of Middle Ages prior to the Renaissance? What is heretical versus what is not? Who decides? Controlling the flow of information has been ultimate power throughout the timeline of mankind. We live in very interesting.
Ursula describes free speech as a virus and censorship as its vaccine. Let it be clear that she, along with everyone else advocating for censorship, is the true virus plaguing Europe.
