"Trump and the governors of several US Northeastern states agreed to push for an emergency wholesale electricity auction that would compel technology companies to effectively fund new power plants"
Me thinks that has already been remedied, or there is a trial plan in place. This guy spends fifteen minutes explaining how the residential market will cover it without raising rates too much.
In the bit of transcript below the AI translated FERC as Fork beyond that you get the jist. Can you say rolling blackout?
Thanks Red. That makes sense for current elite level valuations of electric users. It does sound good that data-centers build their own power plants.
One of the last things the US controls is the internet data centers. Oil, grains and the high seas are important, of course, but this is not to be lost geostrategically.
It helps control the people of the world, as well as the US citizens.
The Chinese have spent the last couple of decades turning out power plants like they were fast food burgers. They have a base load ability that the west has left to decay. Running digital everything won't be possible on our just enough policy here in the west. Expansion of the use of electricity is just not possible and now the resources to make up the difference are in scarce supply. That horse don't run, it's dead. The only option I see is already working its way through the population. It can be seen working at the undertakers.
Thanks Red, but you have extended a trend line to the extreme, where I don't think it will likely apply. Things will change for the worse in terms of grid stability, and China's power and also weakness is its central-imperial will, carried out at all levels. Failure modes are therefore big, like the whole 20th century.
I don't think we will run digital everything after Carrington Events or nuclear EMP strikes, which are available to even North Korea as options against the US/West.
I am still interested in what the actual message to NATO was of the Oreshnik strike on what was likely a Soviet era aircraft maintenance center with deep underground facilities, rumored to house NATO experts, maybe 200 or 300. NATO does seem to be considering talking to Russia suddenly.
The actual message is obscured from us...
I actually like the fact that electric power goes out in Yoakum about 10 times per year, usually for a few minutes, but sometimes longer...
I get the EMP or CME issue. I'm unsure if they'd use the EMP option, MAD, but who knows for sure? The CME is only a matter of time, like living on a fault line. Kind of funny how a trend line of a decade or so now looks extreme to some, me included, but you have to think a little further out just the same. TPTB have a way of extending things a long way past anything that looks reasonable. Looking at the remaining non renewable resources left it would seem we'll be out of things like copper and silver by the mid 30's and maybe even diesel. Or at least the surplus amount for use in the domestic sector. Meaningful growth is over and has been for the last two plus decades. Our financial economy doesn't have anything in the toolbox to deal with a steady state economy let alone a shrinking one. We get regular power outages here as well, due mainly to storm damage so folks have become accustomed to occasional outages. Recurring short term outages will be dealt with easily but should longer term ones, like a week plus, will be harder to accommodate.
Hello my friend.
I ask everyone to repost… cross post… and make this Anti War song No.1
A simple message… NO I WON’T GIVE YOU MY SONS
It simply says No I wont give you mysons or daughters for a war that should never be.
The following song by Reinhard Mey is probably the most powerful anti War song of all the time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q-Ga3myTP4
No to war.
Help to make this song No.1
And send a message.
Not for me… for you
For everyone.

It can be done...It has been done before.
DING Dong the Witch is Dead reached No.1 in the UK as part of a musical anti-tribute to Margaret Thatcher.
It is sung with great conviction, Fritz. "No, my sons I give not..."
I knew you would appreciate it.
Yes it is... it really is a great song.

It wasn't a very popular
2:02
bedtime story for for kids on Christmas
2:05
Eve. Here's what FK told PJM. And that's
2:09
the grid operator for 13 states and 67
2:12
million people in case you're not one of
2:14
those. FK told PJM to create three new
2:18
categories of electrical service.
2:21
Category one firm contract demand
2:24
transmission service. That's
2:26
bureaucratic speak for your power
2:28
doesn't get interrupted ever. Grid
2:31
crashes, everyone else goes dark, you
2:34
stay on. That's for data centers with
2:36
their own colllocated generation.
2:40
Category two, non-firm contract demand
2:43
transmission service. Lower priority
2:46
power will be interrupted when things
2:48
get intense. Still important, just not
2:51
macro harder important because what is
2:55
category three, interim non-firm
2:57
transmission service, temporary access
3:00
until they build the infrastructure to
3:02
serve you and I properly. Translation,
3:06
we'll get to you eventually. Maybe if
3:08
there's any power left.
3:11
Now, Fork didn't explicitly say AI gets
3:15
tier one, hospitals get tier 2, your
3:18
house gets whatever's left. That would
3:20
be, you know, too honest. What they said
3:23
is
3:24
if you're a data center with your own
3:26
power generation, you can buy yourself
3:28
out of the public grid entirely.
3:31
Everyone else, well, we're on the grid
3:33
that gets curtailed when demand exceeds
3:36
supply.
3:38
curtailed.

Poeple and systems stay partly adapted to that.

All agreed, Red.
A CME on a par with the 1859 Carrington Event would finish off industrial civilisation :(
