AI Data Centers will require the US to increase electricity generation by 50 percent in ten years. Failure to do this will result in massive shortages and skyrocketing prices.

PGE is a pathetic joke.

I can’t stand this side of town anyway.

I’ll be moving back to Gilroy end of next year anyway

Still PGE power but, lectric rarely goes down.

I’ll make sure the home has solar, Power Walls by Tesla and for emergency comms a satellite phone

What does an AI data center do, anyway? Run those unhelpful AI customer service bots? Make AI music videos?

I just asked an AI search engine that question. Here’s what I got: “AI data centers are specialized facilities designed to handle the high computational demands of artificial intelligence workloads.”

That wasn’t very helpful. Maybe this AI search engine is just trying to mock me.
