How can AI work for Alzheimers, but not other degenerative diseases? It's a silly prize, with a silly amount of money. But good red meat for journalists.
This. We all know that tying the prize to an "AI" condition makes the prize no matter how much, meaningless.
You know how to tell when a Trump is lying?.... Oh you already know the punch line.
"I, on the other hand, worked in the electric utility industry"
That says it all right there. I'm through talking to an industry shill.
If only you were old enough to know how the real world works, you would realize the the world rarely concerns itself with your HP-12C of which you seem strangely proud. There is no way PG&E would continue a program where they are not making ever increasing profits. They're history with solar instillations proves that and like that example, home owners will be left feeling a bit screwed. I get that you are trying to justify (at least to yourself) your purchase, don't expect the rest of us to follow suit.
PG&E pays a large premium for that power, do you know nothing at all about the subject? See others on this thread who participate in these programs.
"The Tesla and PG&E ELRP will compensate you $2.00 for every additional kWh that your Powerwall delivers during an event beyond typical behavior. As of 2024, there will be a minimum of seven events each year. Typically, customers can earn up to $20 per Powerwall per event. If the California grid has a significant number of emergencies, however, there could be as many as 60 hours of events. This can result in customers earning between $200 and $600 per Powerwall, depending on the number of emergency events during the summer. Other factors, including your Powerwall’s energy capacity and charge behavior, play a role into your total compensation."
Hardly a large premium for a 5-10k instillation. At the stated rate it should only take ~50 years for ROI. Sign me up!
Speaking of Louis, I haven't seen anything from him in months. Hope he's ok and hasn't been shit upon by the powers-that-be.
You might want to check your feed, he's posting 4 or 5 times a week here lately.
In an attempt to be isolated from outages, Individual households will spend large amounts of money installing solar and batteries, but the utilities will take over those household batteries whenever they want to supply power to stupid AI datacenters.
Exactly! When PG&E pays for the batteries and installs them at their cost, then they can have access to them.
Just men having a continent size contest. Tell them the size doesn't matter. We all want to believe it after all.
AI and datacentres.
Really does not seem like a good use to me.
The timing for this seems poor as California is currently overflowing with solar energy. At least the storage capacity will help shift some of that from (currently) useless to useful. Maybe they're hoping to build a few AI centers with it? I wasn't able to dig up any plans for that with a casual search, though. As it stands, I don't think they'll be able to recoup the costs of the project within the lifetime of the equipment unless the price of energy suddenly skyrockets.
My first thoughts as well. What are we going to do with all that extra power? As it is now, PG&E (or rather it's customers) are paying other states to take it away. If we are going to continue with this mess, what we really need is just storage and not production.

The mere fact that Trump is pro-crypto makes it prima facie a scam.
I was not even aware that they had branded TVs. Why would anyone want one?
I predict Apple will honor the deal exactly the way Trump does.
Well said.
A handful of mean-spirited boomers and a ton of mean-spirited Gen x did sure but voter suppression is the only reason their a guy one
The Gen xers are dumb. I mean real dumb. I mean the boomers I get they're going to be dead soon and most of them are already retired. Classic I got mine fuck you Boomer behavior.
And I get that the older Gen x that did all this have the same I got mine fuck you attitude. But they don't got theirs. They still have jobs and they don't have solid retirements lined up. Never mind the fact that they're 401ks are about to get looted by the same private equity ghouls that stole everybody's pensions.
This is the fuck around part in about 5 or 6 years to find out hits during Trump's third term. That's when they all lose their houses. I've said it before but about half the people reading this are going to be homeless by then.
I'm sure they'll blame trans girls playing field hockey and Hunter biden's laptop but that won't get them their houses back.
Ummmm, go fuck yourself.
Dreams are free, but you get soaked on the connect time.
