Don't you just love it when reality, actual science and math get in the way of these grandiose fantasies/psyops? Is reality all just "an inconvenient truth"??? lol (Sorry couldn't resist! Picture good old Al talking climate crap...)

On a tangential street/alley....The emergence of AI, unless it is HEAVILY (and probably impossiblly) trained to filter out HUGE swaths of information....AI has the power to see right through all the obscure, clandestine fog the [DS] has used over the years to hide what's really going on from us.

I'd imagine with the right prompts, an astute individual could query AI to come up with a clearer, sharper picture of what's really going on, what games and psyops invisible to us are and have been running on us, and probably a whole realm of information difficult for us to see (due to our conditioning) - and disinformation, misinformation etc - in ways we may not have considered before.

There are a number of races with AI emergence...but personally, I'm keeping an eye on us using the technology to cut through the bs and form a clear picture of our past, present and future - sans all the bs we've been conditioned to accept (making it 2nd nature...and blinding us without us even knowing).

The U.S. is not just a player in the world’s data center industry – we are the dominant force within the global landscape, and it isn’t close. As of March 2024, almost 5,400 data centers exist across fifty-one states in the U.S. The next closest is Germany, which has about one-tenth as many. The number of data centers in the U.S. is nearly 12 times more than in China, a clear testament to the scale and significance of the data center industry in the U.S. and our commitment to remain economically competitive on the global stage over the next century.

It is also critical to highlight that, as the chart above illustrates, most of the U.S. AI activity is at the exploratory level (U.S. AI Exploration rate is 43% v. Deployment rate of 25%), meaning the industry in the U.S. remains in its relative infancy, especially because, as previously mentioned, we have substantially more data centers than any other country in the world. McKinsey also notes that “2023 was the year the world discovered genAI…2024 is the year organizations truly began using, and deriving value, from this new technology.”

Data centers operated by Amazon, Microsoft, and Google reign supreme, collectively accounting for over half of all such centers. In the past year, Amazon and Google have been at the forefront, opening the most new data centers in the United States. Even though they are third, Microsoft boasts a network that “connects more than 60 data center regions, 200 data centers, 190 points of presence, and over 175,000 miles of terrestrial and subsea fiber worldwide, which connects to the rest of the internet at strategic global edge points of presence10.” One hundred and seventy-five thousand miles of fiber sounds like a lot – and it is. The circumference of the Earth at the equator is just a smidge under 25,000 miles – so the third-place data center network represents enough fiber to wrap around the Earth’s equator seven times…

To put the forecasted demand into context, consider this: A recent MIT study found that a single data center consumes electricity equivalent to 50,000 homes. Estimates indicate that Microsoft, Amazon, and Google operate about 600 data centers in the U.S. today…

Arguments exist that by 2030, 80% of renewable power sources will fulfill electricity demand. For reference, the U.S. generated roughly 240 billion kilowatt hours of solar and 425 billion kilowatt hours of wind, totaling 665 billion kilowatt hours in 2023. Assuming a 50/50 split between wind and solar, that scenario implies that, to satisfy the U.S. electricity demand that adequately facilitates AI competitiveness, wind and solar will have to generate approximately 3.4 trillion kilowatt hours of electricity each. That is more than a ten-fold increase over the next five years. The EIA highlights that the U.S. planned utility-scale electric-generating capacity addition in 2023 included 29 million kilowatts of solar (54% of the total) and 6 million kilowatts of wind (11% of the total), which pales in comparison to the estimated amount required.

It just doesn’t get much more clear; renewables cannot begin to supply the energy needed for AI data centers.

We need a different energy source besides electricity if we want to feed artificial intelligence.

This just means energy for AI but not for minions.

Ultimately, the only way to satisfy both sides is to drill for and burn more oil. FAST!
