I don't really understand the numbers involved, but do any data centers reuse the cooling system #water? At a certain point, it has to make more sense to cool and reuse water than to just use more and more from the municipal supply. Depending on where you are, I suppose.

I hate the idea that these stupid #AI tools are contributing to droughts as well as rolling #blackouts just so some jackass doesn't have to write his own term paper.

#DomesticExtremists keep trying to trigger mass #blackouts — and that’s not even the scariest part

#Extremist groups are among those targeting the #electricity network, exposing the reporting gaps between the #state & #federal agencies that oversee its #security.

Vor einem Jahr: Gezielte #Panikmache, vor allem von #Putinfans und politischen Gegnern der #Grünen vor #Blackouts, unbezahlbaren #Heizkosten, #Rationierungen von #Gas und #Strom. "Wir werden alle im Winter frieren!11!!1!". Es gab sogar Gerüchte über #Duschverbote und #Wärmehallen.

Die Realität: Lagebericht #Bundesnetzagentur 10.8.23 (13 Uhr):
- #Gasversorgung im Moment stabil.
- #Gasverbrauch -19,02 % gegenüber 2018-2021.
- Aktueller Speicher-Füllstand: 89,91 %.

"We estimate that the total number of cooling centers in each of the three study cities would likely accommodate less than 1-2% of the urban population in the event of a concurrent heat wave and blackout event. As the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events continues to rise, all cities should be working to enhance electrical grid resilience during heat wave conditions." #heatwave #blackouts #power #Arizona #Phoenix

"Most critical is investments in back-up power generation at regional cooling centers to ensure critical public health protections during blackout conditions and an expansion in the number of cooling centers to accommodate larger populations during compound climate and infrastructure events. " #DisasterPreparedness #blackouts #heatwaves #Arizona #AZwx #cooling

Definitely interesting to read, risks of #heatwaves + #blackouts definitely a huge present day threat. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.2c09588

Wow, interesting study in that LA Times Article: "How Blackouts during Heat Waves Amplify Mortality and Morbidity Risk" "....Our results highlight the need for enhanced electrical grid resilience and support a more spatially expansive use of tree canopy and high albedo roofing materials to lessen heat exposures during compound climate and infrastructure failure events." #heatwaves #blackouts #disasters #prevention #study https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.2c09588

#BBCNews - #Niger #power #blackouts blamed on #coup #sanctions

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-66383119

The power shortages are a result of #Nigeria cutting supplies to its northern neighbour, Niger's electricity company #Nigelec says.

The West #African trading bloc #Ecowas has imposed sanctions on Niger over the coup but has not said if these include #electricity supplies.

Ecowas defence chiefs are meeting in Nigeria to discuss the Niger crisis.

"Heat damage to underground cables"? WTF!!!

Italian city ‘brought to its knees’ by power cuts caused by #heatwave

by Jasper King, Tuesday 25 Jul 2023

"Hundreds of thousands people are facing blackouts and are without electricity in #Sicily during a scorching heatwave.

"Temperatures on the Italian island have soared to 47.6°C, with warnings #Catania has been ‘brought to its knees’ by the power cuts.

"It is believed the power cuts have been caused by heat damage to underground cables.

"Between 200,000 to 300,000 people have been impacted by water pumps stopping but the issue was resolved on Monday morning."

[Paywall] Editorial: #Wind and #solar are saving #ERCOT this summer. When will #Texas leaders embrace them?

"In case you missed it, Pablo Vegas, CEO of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, recently said #renewables have been a lifeline for the power grid as it meets record-breaking demand during long stretches of triple-digit heat. The extra power capacity has reduced mandatory conservation notices and rolling #blackouts."

The boys are getting old enough to be interested in watching live sports. I had checked out of them all together — after being a life-long fan of the Celtics/Patriots/Red Sox — because it was so hard and expensive to watch the games out-of-market after our move to the West Coast. The new goal is to follow the local SF Bay Area teams.
