Who is paying for the AI roll-out ? -YOU !

Yea yea yea…

One more topic we are all tired of… AI

Like it or not, it’s coming. It’s largest form that you may not be aware of is consumer tracking and profiling.

Yea, like it or not. And I will not dive into those implications as many of you either won’t understand or conceive that it has implications for you.

But all this computing power able to derive instant decisions from a vast database of information all require one thing. And keep in mind just how many competing factions there are in this field….

They need POWER. Yea electricity, and lots of it.

Problem is, not only do we not have the projected plans for projected increase of it,
we are shooting ourselves in the foot by taking away incentives for solar and wind to produce CHEAP POWER. And you are not building out anything to replace that with.
But even that was not enough to support the demand from AI super computers. And many of them.

So the future production needs are growing faster than plans for new power and at the same time, eliminating some of those planned expansions.

Well that means you will be faced with rapid (fast track) new power plant construction, which will cost 40% more than you currently pay. And you will have to give a tax incentive to get there.

There is no way around this current trajectory, especially if you remove the tax incentives for solar power. But is nearly the same without removal. Just a higher level of increased pricing even faster.

You should feel like you are getting a double whammy… cause you are. You just are not seeing it yet.

Wait till you see that in electric prices.

But, it’s on you if you do nothing. You will suffer for it.

I project you will start to see it in as short as 2 years, with a peak perhaps in 4 years or more. Without any regulation to this, the sky is the limit.

I am 100% solar at 2 addresses and the 3rd address is happening in a few months, but minimal now. That will be a savings in just connection fees of nearly $70 month to have it turned off, not to mention the over 2000 KWH at $0.17 per kwh of usage for 3 addresses.
That price may surely double in the heart of this.

Leaving the rest of you more to pay for the NEW AI power upgrades.
I am not alone in cutting that cord.

You are paying for AI in multiple ways since you sit on your hands and only complain after the fact. A bit to late.

When demand outstrips production, pricing always goes up. But you may be faced with blackouts as well. That is when you likely react.

Good luck with that. Fun Fun Fun.

 

Did I forget to mention the Cyber coin data centers that are already a problem ? They have to locate where large available generation capacity is and where high bandwidth data cables are.

AI centers are nothing different.

US oil production is 203,000 bpd down from the all-time high reached during the week of December 6, 2024

47 doing his magic I guess.

Has he been lying ?
Or is it much more complicated than he can imagine ?

Talk is cheap. And we have a lot of that.

Were you buying what was FREE and plentiful ?

If you want $40 bl oil, you will have to do away with labor laws, immigration laws and perhaps US oil co’s.

Perhaps just seize the oil co’s and hire Mexicans to work the oil fields without OSHA.

 

Even Russia or Saudi Arabia can’t do it for that.

WTI @ 73 bl (up about $1 per day) and they are all waiting to see his new gulf war.

Measles for Weasels ? Do you have Brain Worms ?

Just an example of where this crap comes from.

No Kings ?

So, tis the day of thousands of peaceful protests.
We all hope they ALL remain peaceful.
Some will get unruly. Either from provocation or a few bad actors.

The real story hear is that 47 on his ‘birthday’ is having a military parade costing taxpayers 100 million dollars at the same time is cutting help for those less fortunate.

What a contrast. You just can not justify even thinking this is OK.

Did we buy a incorrect vision what what a democracy actually is ?

I guess that is up to you and your actions. But I have always been under the assumption this was everything that democracy stood against. Am I that wrong ?

A slow evolution of Putler’s laws ? It starts and ends with you ! Will you be proud of what you allow to happen to yourself ?

Ukraine Update

From the use of glide bombs and other aviation weapons by Ukraine behind the lines and in Russia proper,
Russia will need to move important assets far behind the lines.

It’s not clear how they got the intel on location of some of these warehouses that never had much visible action, but likely they know when a satellite is overhead, but I doubt they are considering the Japanese SAR system they are now using. You will have to look that one up for yourself.

But we can guess the location of many of these may be by direct personal intel if no other means can be pinpointed. Due to the number of them with exact precision, this is really doubtful.

But they are loosing so many key materials very quickly, despite that, a lack of any announcements from either side. And these have an immediate impact on any Russian summer offensive.

The tide seems to be turning quite quickly as Russia runs out of assets and UA gets to use home grown weapons and those that the west have donated together in coordinated methods of their own.

While Ukraine may not be able to withstand a year of war like this, Russia can not take 6 months of it. And the EU is going to further sanction Russia no matter what the US does.

 

This is not a linear escalation. The more they defeat Russia behind the line, the faster the pace will be as they are less able to do anything about it.

So, Crimea is in the crosshairs soon.

Strange Friction – Trump – Newsome and Kingship ?

Strange friction…
Think there is anything to the fact that Newsome’s ex is now engaged to Don Jr ? She is now a paid host on Fox.

Nobody really has a quip against reducing illegal immigrants in theory.
But 47’s methods and tactics are clearly designed to take more power using a popular issue to get the job done.
For immigration is the only issue he has any popular support.

At the same time, he is trying to embody everything he has created hate for in the democratic party in one man who does not represent the party at all.
He may be the embodiment of the far left of the party.
There is a reason he could not pass the POTUS test some time ago.

So while he sits there and waits for some opportunity to invoke the insurrection act and take total control of the government, eliminating future elections becomes one step away and many of you are not standing up for things in your own interest. Blind Tribal Pride ?

Silence is promotion in this case. You can disagree with one of many issues when your future counts on it.

You get what you deserve. Not always what you want. Even if you think otherwise.
