No, “mobile generators” are not constantly powered at one location.
Typically they are unused in storage and brought to location without power. It could be a warehouse with sensitive equipment (freezers etc), a hospital in need of extra power etc.
This is clearly a case of abuse and people should go to jail for wrecking the planet.
I work in the energy sector and I’ve done routine maintenance on backup generators, including work on the diesel engines.
- charcircuit 4mo ago>No, “mobile generators” are not constantly powered at one location. xAI temporarily has these generators at the location. It's not meant to be constantly be there.
- Gud 4mo agoAnd how long is “temporary”? They are normally used during power outages or during construction(days, not weeks).
- charcircuit 4mo agoThat is knowledge internal to xAI.
- Gud 4mo agoSo you’re only guessing it’s temporary then.
