According to Reuters, the Trump administration is set to enhance energy supply with executive actions to boost AI growth, aiming to outpace China. This includes easing connections for new power-generating projects and making federal land available for necessary data centers. With AI's electricity demand expected to surge, the plan focuses on streamlining processes and establishing "AI Action Day" on July 23. For more on this initiative, read the full article here: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/27/trump-plans-executive-orders-to-power-ai-growth-in-race-with-china.html.

My round up of all the new-to-me #BoardGames I played in the last couple of months.
I liked #RiverValleyGlassworks the best, nice mix of pretty with strategy but nothing heavy. And decided that #Flip7 was a load of over-marketed nonsense, there are much better small card games out there and I played some of those too.
The other highlight is that I finally played #PowerGrid and found that time has treated it pretty well really.

When <any event> happens, there are those who immediately start working "How can we blame renewables for this?" More long-term productive to go "What can we learn from this?" The #powerGrid needs more resilience. #energySecurity
The IEA’s Energy and AI Observatory provides up-to-date data and analysis on the growing links between the energy sector and artificial intelligence (AI). The new and fast-moving field of AI requires a new approach to gathering data and information, and the Observatory aims to provide regularly updated data and a comprehensive view of the implications of AI on energy demand (energy for AI) and of AI applications for efficiency, innovation, resilience and competitiveness in the energy sector (AI for energy). This first-of-a-kind platform is developed and maintained by the IEA, with valuable contributions of data and insights from the IEA’s energy industry and tech sector partners, and complements the IEA's Special Report on Energy and AI.#AI #GenAI #GenerativeAI #LLM #power #PowerGrid #electricity #climate

Spain's Government Blames Huge Blackout On Grid Regulator and Private Firms - companies were literally paid to control voltage but decided "nah, we're good" when tensions ran high. Two months of investigation to discover paid professionals... didn't do their job! 🔌⚡
Miscalculation by Spanish #PowerGrid operator REE led to massive #blackout, report finds
"Spain's #power grid operator REE miscalculated its power capacity needs on the day that a surge in voltage caused a massive blackout across the Iberian peninsula in April, a government #investigation has concluded."

Miscalculation by Spanish power grid operator REE contributed to blackout

Ah, the defective Moss Landing batteries are Tesla, that explains a LOT.
Okay, I really want to know about the opinions that #Fediverse and anyone else who finds this has on #NuclearEnergy.
Tell me what you think about it, I’m curious to see what replies I get!
In my opinion, I think it’s a great source because it’s reliable, secure, and a staple of current #Energy!
Please #Boost this post so it gets to more people, thanks!

10 #Surprising #Truths About the #PowerGrid You Were Never Told

When I say outage I mean, down for 1 second then back up. At least once it browned out then came back.
I have my core network gear and one wifi AP on a UPS that can provide me about 90 minutes of uptime. Long enough for me to fire up the generator. That one had its batteries replaced with LiFePo4 batts and is proving its worth. I just had to buy a second UPS because I can't be working in the middle of the day and have this happen during a meeting or other critical work.
The fact that this is becoming a regular occurrence makes me wonder what's going on with the grid. It is very possible this is isolated to my area but if others in #ercot controlled #texas has a similar experience, I'm very curious.
Post 3: The Power Grid Reality Check
⚡ Virginia datacenters (25% of US capacity) nearly triggered cascading blackouts in July 2024
60 facilities consuming 1,500 MW disconnected simultaneously
ONE equipment failure almost took down the regional grid
US datacenter power demand: 4% → 9% of national grid by 2030
Ireland: Already at 21%, heading to 32% by 2026

April's #BGStats #BoardGames 25 plays of 22 games. I finally got round to playing #PowerGrid - it was interesting, would certainly play again. The #Tablescope app for scoring #Cascadia quickly was probably my fave discovery of the month though!
