Canary inbox: Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) is nearing completion off of Virginia Beach. That's 2.6 GW--the biggest offshore wind project in the country-- in the Southeast, projected to be online in the next 6 months. we likely have the tax credit sunset to thank for it!

Another shoe yet to drop: Data center load could really change the reliability dynamics for our systems, and AFAIK the big utilities (Southern/Duke) in the Southeast haven't re-run their reliability analyses with their shiny AI loads

I can't stop thinking about the total suffering of g_zans facilitated by the US state, the representative of our collective will. In the last few week's I've heard people ask 'what you'd do if you lived under X or Y atrocious regime.' Not sure if that question's hypothetical.

Climate change really is a "facts don't care about your feelings" situation. No matter what the gov websites say, climate/atmosphere dynamics are going to keep doing their thing, capital still needs to understand risk, and reinsurers still work to stay solvent.

my back-of-napkin has been one household uses 1,000 kWh a month, which is like 1.5 kW average demand. So 1 MW = 666 households! 1 GW = 666,000 households! That's Southeast, pre-EV. EIA has all the data you'd want on this.
Anyone have a reliable website/resource to convert wattage to easily understandable terms, eg 1 GW = x households a year?
