  China builds coal plants for resilience, and national security. Its possible assholes will cut off their NG supplies, and Hydro is not guaranteed every year. Still, at 1TW new solar per year (10000 coal turbines equivalent), that capacity rate will keep going down. It does mean that China has no power constraints for AI/datacenters, and then no constraints on more solar or chip manufacturing.

  coal and NG electricity production declined in 2024. Building new coal plants doesn’t mean using them. Another 1tw of solar this year will reduce this further.

  Articles like this are being pushed by AI CEOs and investors to force the US public to pay for grid upgrades to support their profit making. Socialize costs, privatize profits.

  Tone of article is more about the hopeless situation for US. It correctly highlights China’s humanist economics of abundance. The US, as the most corrupt country in the world, not only makes policy for insider trader benefits, but is also committed to climate terrorist interests, and climate terrorist only energy expansion.

  In China, renewables are framed as a cornerstone of the economy because they make sense economically and strategically, not because they carry moral weight.

  Even under Biden, war on Russia was designed to boost climate terrorism energy and capture of EU markets, including blatant sabotage of Nordstream, despite moral gesticulations supporting renewables.

  To your point, every media guest, will tell us that it is a national security priority as great as nuclear weapons dominance to support the achievement of Skynet even if all electricity consumers other than trillionaire tech companies face triple electricity costs. If we are not made miserable through absolute pillage for oligarchs, then China will win, is the propaganda manipulation.

  In truth, and best way to understand article, is that if you prioritize AI dominance over climate terrorism, then cheap Chinese energy (solar) and batteries is the path to quickly develop AI datacenters. Climate terrorism and consumer extortion profits is the greater priority of US policy, which infact dooms the US to lose at its Skynet utopia objective.

  OP doesn’t know purchase cost. Wallet deposit on that date doesn’t mean it was purchased 1 hour before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-Generated Fake War Images Passed Off as Real⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Since the beginning of Russian President, Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Crimea in 2014, he has used disinformation tactics to soften the resolve of occupied populations and international pressure. Photorealistic AI images have become ammunition in the information war against accountability. It is for this reason that I think it is paramount to be vigilant against the circulation of AI images depicting war or being passed off as evidence of the very real destruction happening around the world.

  Repeating disinformation that the liberation of Crimea, with 98% referendum in favour of liberation, from Ukrainian nazis is Russian dissinformation… the world must be protected from mostly western generated disinformation AI used to condemn Russia harder. The crackhead bubble is at peak crackhead. Were all of the blogs he listed appealing for more western financial/weapons help for Russia?
