Big Tech companies say AI will help solve climate change. Environmental groups call that 'greenwashing' AI giants including Google and Microsoft have sometimes touted climate benefits that aren't backed up by academic evidence, a new report says.

Canton trustees impose 12‑month moratorium on new data centers as officials study local impacts The Canton Township Board of Trustees adopted a 12‑month moratorium (Resolution 2026‑11) on new data center, data processing and computer center uses, directing staff and the Planning Commission to study potential impacts on water, utilities, noise and the local economy before drafting new regulations.

Canton Township has imposed a 12-month moratorium on new data centers, raising alarms over their impact on vital community resources like water and energy.

Staff recommends indefinite deferral of proposed Joliet Technology Center after heavy public opposition After extended public comment raising water, energy, noise and environmental‑justice concerns, staff recommended—and the Planning Commission voted to—defer indefinitely the annexation (a‑4‑25) and companion PUD (PUD‑8‑25) for the proposed Joliet Technology Center data‑center development to allow more analysis and a robust annexation agreement.

The Planning Commission has indefinitely deferred the controversial Joliet Technology Center project after overwhelming public outcry over its potential impact on water, energy, and health.

Ohio Lawmakers Consider Bill Granting Utilities Greater Authority to Manage Energy Usage Ohio lawmakers are considering a bill that would give energy providers more authority to manage customer energy usage through a voluntary demand response program, aiming to reduce costs for both individuals and small businesses while bolstering the state's electrical grid stability during peak periods of high demand. The proposed program would allow utilities to temporarily adjust energy consumption by modifying thermostats and water heaters, but customers would still have the option to override these changes, with compensation potentially offered in the form of annual payments or per-event fees.

3️⃣ Texans burn more fuel than almost anyone: 460 MMBtu per person—over twice as much as Californians or Floridians. Our demand isn’t just growing—it’s oversized. #energyusage

PJM Interconnection Issues Rare Warning Over Potential Power Shortfalls This Summer PJM Interconnection, the organization managing the electric grid across 13 states including Pennsylvania, is issuing a rare warning: under exceptionally challenging conditions, it may face difficulties ensuring adequate power supply this summer. This marks the first time PJM has publicly suggested potential shortfalls in its ability to meet demand in extreme circumstances, potentially requiring consumers to voluntarily reduce their energy usage. While PJM anticipates sufficient capacity to handle typical peak demand, projected at 154,000 megawatts (enough to power roughly 123.2 million homes), a worst-case scenario involving a record-breaking peak load exceeding 166,000 megawatts could strain resources. In such a situation, PJM would activate demand response programs, incentivizing participating consumers to lower their electricity consumption. PJM currently has 179,200 megawatts of generation capacity available, bolstered by a further 7,900 megawatts from contracted demand response capabilities. The previous peak load record was set in 2006 at 165,563 megawatts, with recent summers reaching 152,700 megawatts in 2022 and 147,000 megawatts in 2023. The Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission has released reports highlighting the preparedness of utilities and PJM for summer electricity demands, noting upgrades, emergency plans, and regional collaboration. However, NOAA's forecast of a hotter, wetter summer, coupled with the potential for an active hurricane season, presents significant challenges that could escalate demand and increase the risk of disruptions, as exemplified by the recent storm affecting southwestern Pennsylvania.

Then we're starting to get quotes for solar and batteries - so hopefully going into next winter we will have these installed and we can really start seeing the benefits of having the trifecta - ASHP, EV and, PV and solar.

Not sure when @home-assistant.io added untracked consumption to the energy graph but it's been a nice challenge trying to identify everything.
So far I have identified about half of the unknown base load but there is still more to find!
