- sanderjd 5mo agoBut we have figured out how to create electricity without destroying the planet. It's true that we need to actually do that, and that we are to a large degree not doing so at the moment. But that's a problem we already needed to solve. It does make it more important to solve that problem, but it also improves the incentives to solving it (electricity is more valuable now).

- pj_mukh 5mo ago"largest user of electricity" Compared to what? More than all heavy industry? All residential usage for a given sector? Seems like a tall ask requiring some modeling.
- trumpdong 5mo agoYep they think they'll use more than all heavy industry, which they also think they'll make obsolete. The plans are for something like, a DC in every city that each uses as much electricity as the whole state currently does. Yes it's completely insane.
