Isnt there a scenario in which the AI/datacenter bubble burst (a big if of course) and these gas plants facilitate faster decarbonization, as they strengthen the grid, enable faster non-intermittant build-out and possible trigger faster coal shut-downs?

Probably not, but i do think we should look a little beyond the CO2/MWh for gas fired power.

University AI programs sitting next to sustainability programs getting a little uncomfortable.

With silly AI created memes, will they? 🤔

About as likely as Trump is to balance the budget and payoff the national debt

yup :(

May be a little off topic but I am a bit confused. Republicans promise lower gas prices by getting more supply into the market but this would drive down barrel price and wouldn’t that hurt the oil companies?

But keep on using the AI filters, folks!
