Good story from @_LatitudeMedia on the @tylerhnorris @Duke report. My comments: Data center demand flexibility isn't just a cute strategy on the margins alongside a massive grid and power plant buildout; flexibility "could be the whole ballgame"

A new study by @tylerhnorris found a way to power the AI boom without building a bunch of new gas plants. The results “buy us time” to figure out what Deepseek means and for nuclear to catch up to growing demand needs. Sign up for my newsletter via the link in my bio (lmao) to get this story.

Top climate implications of US tariffs: ▶️Canada's C-tax dead (undermines case for C-taxes around the world) ▶️Trade barriers rise around the world. Terrible for keeping clean energy affordable in EMs ▶️US fossil prices rise; small effect on US & certainly global emissions

In seriousness, getting timely AI updates is an important reason to be on X. The market waiting to melt down until today was surprising given that chatter on this site started like last Wednesday
