Gavin Greasehair would provide more value to California if he sat on a pedal machine hooked up to a generator. The 0.2 watts per hour he’d provide would be worth much more to the state than his miserable, corrupt, and totally inept leadership.

On-site nuclear.

Bill Gates gave up on the Global Warming racket because he’s all in AI—Microsoft Copilot.

Another of Newsom’s monumental failures to govern California properly.

I wonder, if you think real hard, does your appetite go up?

It looks like we are serious about small modular reactor nuclear power-that would be just the ticket, but...the ruling Leftists in California will never allow that. They have their Leftist rat-claws full just trying to get rid of the Diablo Canyon plant, which is stuck in their craw.

They would rather their citizens be in the dark rather than willingly generate nuclear power there.

These AI data centers drawing a lot of power from the grid driving up residential rates will become a big political issue

Data and AI centers should share the grid that Americans depend on. They should be building their own grid, possibly powered with their own nuclear reactors.

Gavin Newsom is an OPERATIVE OF CHINA.

His clearing the streets of drug needles, poop, and homeless encampments just prior to Xi's visit was the telltale sign!

The FBI/DOJ needs to investigate this. Follow the MONEY (and the BLACKMAIL).

On-site nuclear

Small Nuclear Reactors (SMR)

Some people are calling this the Second Nuclear Age. SMRs can power a data center, or a city.

Many brag that it is free of the evil hydrocarbons (fossil fuels for those of you in Rio Linda).

What's hilarious is that one of the MAIN items in atmosphere is water vapor. Nuclear power plants use and emit LOTS OF water vapor.

Well I might have finally found a single reason to support Green energy. If it destroys all the devilish AI crap then that would be a good thing.

"...CA has been phasing out reliable power sources like coal as it pursues a rapid green energy transition.

The author is uninformed, just plain ignorant or a typical hack writer.

California had a peak installed capacity of coal fired generation of 439 MW in 2005. There were 10 generating units at eight power plant locations. This represented about 0.7% of California's total electric generating capacity at the time (66,105 MW overall). None of the units exceeded 50 MW, with the largest plant at 109 MW.

Coal generation in California has always been miniscule.

The author is right that CA is pursuing an insane "green energy" transition.

I can't believe that anybody would build a data center in Santa Clara in the first place, much less without having the necessary power contracts to run it. Something doesn't smell right in this story. Business people are not that stupid. Everybody knows data centers require water for cooling, fiber optic line connections, lots of electricity, and the ability to store diesel fuel to run backup generators.
