How many of you ignorant commentators made fun of my electricity generation shortage.. due to AEs?

[healthmyths]

As many times I've posted discussion about how almost every person in favor of EVs was truly ignorant of this simple fact!
Electricity consumption in the United States was about 4 trillion kilowatthours (kWh) in 2022.

Use of electricity - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

How and how much electricity is used by major types of end uses in homes, commercial buildings, and manufacturing facilities.

www.eia.gov

I had many people accuse me of mathematical ignorance !
So you folks READ what these experts are pointing out as to electricity shortages DUE NOT to EVs (even though EVs will add to the shortages) but the following and please you dummies READ the link that I've provided to substantiate the comments...something most of you dummy critics of me DON"T DO!

Data centers powering artificial intelligence could use more electricity than entire cities
KEY POINTS

• Data center campuses power artificial intelligence and cloud computing
• The campuses could grow so large that finding enough power and suitable land to accommodate them becomes increasingly difficult.
• Renewable energy alone won’t be sufficient anytime soon to meet their power needs.
• Natural gas will have to play a role, which will slow progress toward meeting carbon dioxide emissions targets.

The power needs of artificial intelligence and cloud computing are growing so large that individual data center campuses could soon use more electricity than some cities, and even entire U.S. states, according to companies developing the facilities.
The facilities could increasingly demand a gigawatt or more of power — one billion watts — or about twice the residential electricity consumption of the Pittsburgh area last year.

NOW for all you dummies that HAVEN'T even considered AI usage but want to as Biden made this dumb ass statement
"I guarantee We Are Going To Get Rid of Fossil Fuels” said on September 06, 2019, 5:49 PM


Electricity consumption was 4 trillion kilowatthours (kWh) in 2022. !
Considering the above dumb ass comment that Biden guaranteed that 60% of the Fossil fuel electricity power plants would be rid of?
That will mean Biden's guarantee will also remove 60% of the 4 trillion kWh or 2,400,000,000,000 kWh!
Add that to the shortages that AI farms like the attached reality photo of a AI computer center... Folks the last thing we need to do is to
"rid fossil fuels" as Biden guaranteed!

Haven't you heard? Instead of getting rid of fossil fuels, we decided to get rid of Joe Biden instead.

Problem solved.

Most "environmentalists" know fuck-all about the environment, and even less about energy.

Their opinions are worthless.

In great news, Trump is reviving the Keystone Pipeline! Oil pipeline BITCHES suck it you Dem morons!

LMAO, take a look at the electricity consumed by crypto currency mining operations. Everything else pales in comparison to the juice they use. We have one in NE WA Pend Oreille County and it is the top electric consumer in the county by far.

Come on man, EV toxic heavy metals and chemicals are great for the environment. Plus who doesn't like open pit mines and mountains of waste and wiping out the environment to build liberal cities full of filth.

lol......... Ive been in the trenches of 'housing' now for decades, oversaw some of the largest jobs (6000 amp) in my area

there is no 'effin way on God's green earth that electricity is going to save anything other that the coffers of green machine predators

Perhaps in the future most of our electric epoch will be lost in the fog of history.

You're not ignorant of mathematics, you just have no clue when it comes to multiplication, division or percentages.

AEs? Did you mean to say AI?

AI, GIGO.

Those charts showing the increases in "renewables" powering America are crap.

Meaning they are rigged data sets.

We have shut down too many generating plants. We are having an electricity shortage now. We can't energize manufacturing plants. We have ONE new chip fab going in Arizona and the power is coming from Texas. But so does California's power....meaning someone is going to go without.

We either need to retrofit coal burners with scrubbers or build new generating plants of some sort.
One new generating plant already completed in TN can't get fired up due to the lack of any Natural gas....the needed pipeline has been denied access. So it's just going to waste.

The new nuke plant in Georgia can't get fuel either. (Ukraine was their source for fuel) So it sits offline as well.

That's the state of things....
Someone needs to figure it out!

We need to adopt a less energy intensive lifestyle. "Use it up, wear it out, make it do." Slow down, smell the roses.

That's one of the most ridiculous things I've heard here. The USA is the most energy efficient nation on the planet. We use the newest tech everywhere to reduce costs. The USA uses 25% of the worlds energy supplies but contribute over half the world's economy.

We regularly use low energy LED lights and fluorescent lights. Air handlers are lower energy than ever before. No other nation does as we do.

So....try again. We just need electricity generating plants.

What is the United States’ share of world energy consumption?​

In 2022, U.S. total primary energy consumption was about 95 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu), which was equal to about 16% of total world primary energy consumption of about 600 quadrillion Btu. The United States’ percentage share of world population was about 4% in 2022, and the U.S. had the 4th largest per capita primary energy consumption in the world.

but contribute over half the world's economy.

United States remains the largest economy globally with GDP (Nominal) over $25 trillion in 2022. It represents a quarter share of the global economy (25.4%). China follows, with close to $18 trillion, or 17.9% of the world economy. Tuvalu has the world's smallest national economy with a GDP (nominal) of approximately $59 million.

Even if I get the numbers wrong you STILL PROVED ME CORRECT.

Most energy is consumed by industrial and commercial uses. Retail barely scratches the surface....
