Ecocharger + 1,512 DL Saturday at 03:21 AM I guess this is what the future would look like with an EV fleet, a man-made self-inflicted disaster. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Fire-at-Huge-California-Battery-Storage-Plant-Forces-Evacuations.html "A fire at the Vistra battery storage plant in California, one of the largest in the world, has prompted evacuations for hundreds of people, and part of a highway was closed early on Friday. The plant contains tens of thousands of lithium batteries, which could be difficult to put out once they catch fire." "“There’s no way to sugar coat it. This is a disaster, is what it is,” Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church told KSBW-TV." Brave new world. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

President Trump will reverse the foolish and monumentally wasteful attempt by Biden & Co. to eliminate CO2 from energy supplies, a policy which served absolutely no useful purpose and devastated the U.S. national budget. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Trump-Prepares-to-Sign-Slew-of-Energy-Executive-Orders.html "President-elect Donald Trump is preparing to sign a host of executive orders related to energy in the first hours after his inauguration. Bloomberg reported that Trump plans to declare a national energy emergency right after he’s sworn in as part of his plan to boost oil and gas production." "The planned changes include...canceling the federal land and offshore oil and gas drilling bans that President Biden signed while he was in office." "As for the emergency that Trump is reportedly preparing to declare...with such a declaration a president can “unlock special powers over the transportation of crude and use authorities to direct shifts in how electricity is generated and transmitted.” "Trump said on the campaign trail. “We need double the energy that we already have, and it’s going to end up being more than that.”" "Another direction of Trump’s energy policies is cutting off funding for transition technologies, including EV subsidies...The president-elect has also threatened to ban offshore wind on his first day in office. Trump has called wind power “an economic and environmental disaster.”" Let Freedom Reign. Edited yesterday at 08:58 AM by Ecocharger 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey we love to see the Oil price crash.....best solution out their to crater oil production in the US....overproduction and it will not change consumption one bit.

Briefly: The main self improvise AI was suspected to have depression. A phd doctor was invited to examine it owing to recent topic she shared. Remuneration was irresistible. There, she was introduced to the latest technology like virtual reality, self evolves AI etc. she also experienced courageous act amidst AI riot and later romance. In this book, energy required by the facility was built by the owner himself. Therefore, AI, data centers, mining, crypto mining, are not government venture but private. The companies owners should supply their own energy demanded by their venture. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortunately, a lot of it is already privately funded (Facebook, Google) and have net zero carbon goals. They do not want Trump's promised fossil energy. Unfortunately, the government will say falling behind on AI tech is a national security concern and will throw money at it. Historically, government manipulation of the private sector was considered a bad thing. Not anymore. The private sector owns the government.
