I cannot help but notice Grammarly trying to turn this into a sort of 'paid partnerships' thing feels exactly like when X turned its child abuse generating chatbot into a paid premium child abuse generating chatbot and presented that as if it fixed the problem
Haha. Mer nærliggende i så fall å sende det ned i en oljebrønn som skal forlates. Men så er det det at det må monitoreres, og gjerne være tilgjengelig om en senere trenger det (les : våpen)
You'd be hard pressed to find a worse climate villain when it comes to data centres than Elon Musk.

By my own calculations, Musk's carbon bomb slop factories are undoing nearly half to all of the emissions cuts from Tesla products ketanjoshi.co/2026/03/02/m...
Sant nok. Ikke det at deres løsning var så billig (eller optimal)
Slutter man med å drive med atomkraft vil man, som Norge viser, også til uendelig tid være nødt til å håndtere avfallet.
Viser seg at vi også med oljeutvinning er nødt til å i nærmest uendelig tid er tvunget til å håndtere konsekvensene fra både klimaendringer og stengte brønner.
Vi vet bedre.
De har løst det for finsk avfall. Tar ikke imot andres
For nytt kanskje

Germany - a country which has steadfastly stuck with fossil fuelled cars despite the high availability and low cost of EVs - now has to dip into its 'strategic reserves' of oil to deal with the 2nd fossil fuel crisis

Norge har 17 tonn med høyradioaktivt avfall. Det er fullt kaos rundt hvordan dette skal trygt lagres for fremtiden.
Kanskje vi skal begynne å bruke de omkring 50 milliardene dette vil koste, før vi snakker om nye reaktorer.
En av kjernekraftens mange skyggesider.
Merk at dette er mini-reaktorer.

At mennesker ofte vil velge minste motstands vei og be en genAI-Dunning-Kruger-på-LSD-bot å gjøre arbeidsoppgavene sine, bør ikke overraske noen.
Dette kommer ikke til å slutte før de får de virkelige kostnadene av bruk.
We're governed by morons: "…as President Trump weighed whether to launch military attacks on Iran, Chris Wright, the energy secretary, told an interviewer he was not concerned that the looming war might disrupt oil supplies in the Middle East and wreak havoc in energy markets."
To restore democracy and create a fairer, safer, greener world, we need massive taxes on the ultra-rich. As in the 1940s. People get confused about this. The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.
How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
Using genAI is a huge glaring sign the person lacks intrinsic motivation and can't understand it.
The whole idea of pursuing something for its own sake, experiencing the experience of improving at it, tolerating frustration because the difficulty is enjoyable, etc, they don't get.

Increasing energy dependence on a volatile, globally traded commodity delivers neither energy security nor affordability. Hope that helps. 🫡
Det vil komme en tid tenker jeg, hvor strøm ikke lenger tenkes automatisk på som en (stort sett) billig og «uendelig» tjeneste. Vi produserer omtrent 30000kwh med strøm per person per år i detta landet. Burde i utgangspunktet være plenty.
Well played av de som ønsker at ting er som de er, eller higer etter luftspeilingen som heter kjernekraft (og som alle, om man tenker seg litt om, aldri vil gi den minste mening i Norge).
Overlappende interessesfærer av etstykktilhøyrefolk, fossil kapital og rent ut populisme har gjort Motvind.
It's the beginning of history - and an era where we'll see thorough tests of the assumptions of the AI bubble as a result of the war in Iran and the economic and social chaos to follow.
It's time to stop using the past as a guide to what happens next.

Confusion about oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz 18:20 THE WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST The US Navy has reportedly escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz, according to US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, writes AFP. The purpose was "to ensure that oil continues to flow to global markets," Wright said, Reuters reports. US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the Navy would escort ships in the Strait of Hormuz when the time is right. Iran's Revolutionary Guard denies that an oil tanker was escorted by the US Navy, writes Reuters. Shortly after Wright made the statement, Wright reportedly removed them. Oil prices plunged 13 percent after US President Donald Trump warned that the war in Iran is "very much over, basically," Reuters and BBC reported . After Wright published his remarks, oil prices rose again. Iran claims to have closed the strait and has threatened to set fire to any ships that attempt to pass through. TEE UES. Wem

I see this as about as meaningful a signal of reality as share prices or Kalshi / Polymarket bets on mass death and suffering. I guess it's an accurate reflection of the feelings of credulous, rich and greedy people?
A 10-Point Plan to Cut Oil Use 1. Reduce speed limits on highways by at least 10km/h 2. Work from home up to three days a week where possible 3. Car-free Sundays in large cities 4. Make public transport cheaper; incentivise micro-mobility, walking and cycling 5. Alternate private car use in large cities 6. Urge car sharing and practices that decrease fuel use 7. Promote efficient use of freight trucks and goods delivery 8. Prefer high-speed and night trains to planes where possible 9. Avoid business travel when alternatives exist. 10. Avoid business travel when alternatives exist
Maybe it is time to revisit the 10-Point Plan to Cut Oil Use?
This could reduce global oil demand by 2.7 million barrels a day in 4 months.

One hazard of highlighting the role of fossil fuel dependency causing crises is plenty of right-wing / pro-fossil groups actually admit and emphasise this, and conclude "See, the problem here is simply that we need more fossil fuels to end the crisis" and 8,000 very serious columnists nod along
I went on NPR this weekend to talk about Trump's suggestion that tech companies build their own power plants to power AI data centers. I had just published a 12,000 word report on the topic, so it was hard to distill everything into a 4 minute segment. The "bring your own capacity" (BYOC) idea that Trump mentioned in his State of the Union speech isn't a new one. It's been discussed at virtually every utility commission over the last year. In the broadest terms, BYOC is good policy. The US hasn't been expanding its power grid for the last 10-20 years because electricity demand has been flat. Now data centers are changing the equation triggering huge demand increases. The question is who should pay for the new transmission lines and power generation capacity. Virtually everyone—including many tech companies—agree data centers should foot the bill, not everyday utility bill payers. But electricity policy is complex. There's a federal regulator (FERC), 50 different state regulators, and grid operators that span multiple states. One version of this policy that's become popular is to force data centers off the grid entirely. The idea is tempting, if anything for its simplicity. But it would have some negative consequences. Consider OpenAI's Stargate project in New Mexico. The 2 GW data center will run on its own "microgrid" powered by inefficient gas turbines. That means it will be powered by 100% fossil fuels, which results in far more pollution than a power grid, which can make use of nuclear, hydro, solar, wind, etc. This Stargate project will emit 14 million tons of CO2 per year, according to permit documents we found at Cleanview for our latest report. To put that number in perspective: New Mexico has spent 20 years decarbonizing its economy and in that time has cut emissions by 14 million tons. So in this case "build your own power plant" means wiping out 20 years of climate progress—in a location with more land and solar potential than nearly anywh…
Hhhoollly moly. 14 MTCO2-e for OpenAI's fossil-fuelled Stargate data centre
As @michael-thomas.bsky.social says: "wiping out 20 years of climate progress—in a location with more land and solar potential than nearly anywhere on Earth"

historical oil demand vs secnarios
On the second fossil fuel crisis of this decade (and likely to be worse than the last, fair to say), a few small thoughts
First: global oil demand would be so much lower without climate delay, fossil corruption, oversized SUVs, western overconsumption. Everyone who pushed these holds responsibility
a picture of a huge, low, heavy cloud of black oil over Tehran
This is the cloud of oil currently hovering over Tehran, released when the US bombed the city's oil depots. A stew of particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals & volatile organic compounds is raining down into the city right now. 1/2
