"Last week Trump🚨directed by EO that even the renewable projects the Senate salvaged in the budget law wouldn't get tax credits. 95.7% of all new electric cap this year has been #solar & #wind. Many of those projects won't pencil now.

Call it the Blackout Law.

Side agreements with the HFC will make most clean-energy projects unviable & leave the US with not enough power to meet demand."

Democracy dies in darkness (literally).

Current power outages in the US. Looks like the grid is holding up right now in the midwest/east coast, despite the record loads.

…The #US #aluminum industry is too small to replace imports from #Canada without massive expansion & investment.

Century Aluminum, a US aluminum maker, said last year that it would build the first new #AluminumSmelter in the United States in half a century, doubling domestic production. But the United States would remain dependent on imports for most of its aluminum.

The #Aluminium Assn of #Canada said in a statement on Tues that the expanded #tariff “makes Canadian exports to the US economically unviable” & that “the industry may be forced to diversify #trade toward the #EuropeanUnion.”

#Electricity accounts for about 40% of the cost of smelting aluminum, & the trade group estimated that replacing Canadian aluminum w/ #US production would require the expansion of US power generation equivalent to 4 Hoover Dams.

Our home has #gas and #electricity and I have been tracking our usage of both for over a decade. The plan has always been to #transition away from gas and go full electric for a few reasons, however it hasn't been until 2025 that the equivalent electricity for gas usage has actually been cheaper than using gas.

Then suddenly it is announced that electricity #prices will rise by up to 10% from July 2025. This will make it cheaper to continue using gas than it will to move over to electricity (excluding the health benefits of removing gas).

Forgive the conspiracy theorist perspective but that seems way to big of a coincidence to have not been purposeful. Especially when you consider 'power' companies often produce both electricity and gas.

And it certainly isn't the right way to go about making the energy transition equitable.

"AI’s energy use already reps as much as 20% of global data-center power demand, & that demand, the research states, could double by the end of this year, comprising nearly 1/2 of all total data-center electricity consumption worldwide, excl the electricity used for BTC mining. Acc to his research, worldwide AI energy demand: now set to surpass demand from MTC mining by the end of this yr."

Unsustainable, much of #AI is wasteful & #bitcoin is💯waste.

WaPo: Much of U.S. at heightened risk for summer power outages, regulator warns

A large swath of the United States is facing a heightened risk of blackouts this summer, a perennial danger as electricity use soars and extreme weather tests the nation’s aging power grid, according to the regulatory authority that monitors the electricity system. (paywall)

OPB: "Liberal Oregon and Washington Vowed to Pioneer Green Energy. Almost Every Other State Is Beating Them. "

"...Unique Barrier: The Bonneville Power Administration, whose approval is needed for most wind and solar work in the Northwest, has barely approved any big applications made since 2015.
Missing Investment: Lawmakers were told of the need for better transmission, which Bonneville would have to finance, when they passed new mandates for green energy. They forged ahead anyway...."
