How is the new datacenter powered again? Clean energy or gas turbines?

Tesla is actually a battery and electric car company that makes environmentally friendly cars and grid storage, and is probably towards the top of the list for companies who have reduced CO2 output in the world.

You're thinking of xai. ;)

There are many things that my brain just can't handle, the size of the universe, more than 3 dimensions and this fact especially.

I will argue on your behalf that your brain can handle just one more dimension than the 3 you are likely referring to. :)

Most people are pretty bad at accounting for the effects of time.

Is this a Gödel Completeness thing?

No thank you, we will happily continue with our investment in wind, solar and battery storage.

Only the countries that have not yet transitioned to clean energy

And countries that import goods. If you supply chain needs diesel, you're going to be paying more.

In Germany we have had a great influx of electric trucks in the last year

That's basically all countries

That's all of them.

Maybe this war will change that?

I think this war has resulted in some speed increases in some changes, e.g. ev adoption, electric trucks. Still lots to do

Unless you're ready to give up on a lot of convenience this is just not happening.

Hmm, I think for me personally the only thing I'd need to change is the heating in my apartment and I'm already planning to invest in a heat pump.

For you personally, I'm guessing your lifestyle depends very heavily on everyone in the apartments and buildings around you, and the grocery stores that supply you, and the roads that they move goods over, and the materials they manufacture in order to distribute power and water and collect sewage....so unless all of them have transitioned, I think you're overestimating your resilience to the loss of fossil fuels.

I'd wager 90% of things you own and do wouldn't exist without fossil fuels, including your heat pump and your apartment

Instead of a sarcastic swipe, you could try making an actual argument and tell me how I would personally be affected.

Most clothes, food, medicine, every bit of plastic you own, the tools used to make your heat pump, the rebar in your apartment walls, etc. none of this exists without fossil fuel, or at least not at this price/scale

You are not wrong, but there is no reason to assume that things can't change. A heat pump irrespective of the material it's made of will be better than a gas heater over its life.

Well let's start with goods and services being more expensive?

"clean" - only at the point of use! (I'm using the traditional definition of "clean", as in, "not making a mess").

That's included in the number, buddy. Read the report.

Funny that the video in the blog post still needs X. I will see myself out....

No need to announce
