A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Actually it is the political blockades in the south, preventing sufficient transfer capacity from the north to the south where most of that energy is used This leads to renewable producers in the north having to throttle, while fossil producers in the south get paid extra for "fixing" gaps in the supply. And that "service" to the network is paid handsomely and paid by everyone in the grid.

This is deliberate sabotage by corrupt politicians and the fossil energy lobby.
