Great conversation - I appreciated how the game ideas were very student-oriented and feasible. Well done, all.

ChatGPT Energy References Fall 2024 This was made using ChatGPT 4o by Jason Johnston on Nov 16, 2024 (at probably a total energy cost of 0.005 kWh) Here’s the updated and comprehensive reference list, including scholarly papers and ad...

Again, I agree we're not talking enough about this AND have enough research/data about it to make informed decisions. Because of character restrictions, I put the references used in a google doc here. Open to any and all feedback: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

β€œA table titled β€˜Energy Consumption of Everyday Items’ lists the energy usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh) for common activities and devices, organized from highest to lowest:
	β€’	Gallon of Gasoline: 33.7 kWh
	β€’	Running a Gas-Powered Lawn Mower (1 hour): 2.0 kWh
	β€’	Using a Hair Dryer (1 hour): 1.5 kWh
	β€’	Running a Refrigerator (24 hours): 1.2 kWh
	β€’	Watching TV (5 hours): 0.5 kWh

Thanks for this. There are genuine concerns. Most arguments I hear, however, are hyperbolic or "large-scale analogies" (the moon-and-back) that don't compare with our everyday energy use concerns. What I'm attaching is quick research - I made it with ChatGPT 4o and Google so it might be wrong.

β€œthey felt like an insiderβ€œ - absolutely love this phrase. Reminds me of Michelle Miller’s β€œsame side pedagogy” idea that I’ve referenced many times since reading it - thank you

We just used it at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville as part of a "Digital Learning Book Club" with a great response. Four Zoom meetings for four chapters + async discussion. One faculty said, "This is the best PD I've had in a long time." Sparked a lot of questions, conversation, and care.

Amazing. Did you ever listen to Marvel Wastelanders podcast series? Very well done.
