From David Suzuki

We need real solutions for affordability, energy security and responding to the threats from the United States.

Canada’s electricity demands are set to triple in the coming decades. We have an opportunity to build shovel-ready, made-in-Canada projects by upgrading Canada’s power grid with renewable power, not fossil fuels.

Did you know Canada’s provincial electricity grids are more connected to the United States than with each other?

California Set To Become First US State To Manage Power Outages With AI 🔌

Peak irony: the state powering Silicon Valley's AI revolution just discovered they can automate reading 300+ outage reports instead of doing it manually. Sometimes the most obvious solutions hide in plain sight ⚡

Breaking: AI chatbots are such energy vampires they're making electricity bills surge 20%+ 🧛‍♂️⚡ America's power grid is crying 'we need every megawatt we can get' while data centers chomp through enough power for 40 million homes by 2030.

My recently acquired battery energy backup pack just saved all the food in our Fridge/Freezer during an extended blackout. Can’t live comfortably without one in these days of uncertainty, infrastructure stress, and system failures. Especially when it’s freaking HOT 🔥. So I ordered two more add’l battery packs to enhance the one we already have. Bought the first one with a portable solar power generator which can re-charge it in a few hours of sun. We’ll use that to charge the new ones as well. In an ideal, people-first world, battery backup on a neighborhood scale would be automatically provided by local and regional governments. That would make sense financially over the long run, and save lives right away and in perpetuity. I’m not holding my breath, tho… #energy #PowerOutage #PowerGrid #EnergyGrid #battery

My round up of all the new-to-me #BoardGames I played in the last couple of months.

I liked #RiverValleyGlassworks the best, nice mix of pretty with strategy but nothing heavy. And decided that #Flip7 was a load of over-marketed nonsense, there are much better small card games out there and I played some of those too.

The other highlight is that I finally played #PowerGrid and found that time has treated it pretty well really.

Energy and AI Observatory
The IEA’s Energy and AI Observatory provides up-to-date data and analysis on the growing links between the energy sector and artificial intelligence (AI). The new and fast-moving field of AI requires a new approach to gathering data and information, and the Observatory aims to provide regularly updated data and a comprehensive view of the implications of AI on energy demand (energy for AI) and of AI applications for efficiency, innovation, resilience and competitiveness in the energy sector (AI for energy). This first-of-a-kind platform is developed and maintained by the IEA, with valuable contributions of data and insights from the IEA’s energy industry and tech sector partners, and complements the IEA's Special Report on Energy and AI.

Spain's Government Blames Huge Blackout On Grid Regulator and Private Firms - companies were literally paid to control voltage but decided "nah, we're good" when tensions ran high. Two months of investigation to discover paid professionals... didn't do their job! 🔌⚡
