Close to 1 full goddamn gigawatt of gas (open-cycle, so the most inefficient kind) for the "Project Jupiter" site in New Mexico.

This whole article is a stunning illustration of how data centres are incentivising new fossil infrastructure:

Project Jupiter Reflects New Reality of Permian Development Energy Transfer, Kinder Morgan, Natural Gas, Permian, San Juan, The Daley Note Posted by: East Daley Analytics A massive data center planned by OpenAI and Oracle in southern New Mexico shows the new dynamic influencing pipeline investments in the Permian Basin. The two technology companies are partnering in Project Jupiter, a four-building data center campus located in Santa Teresa, NM. The facility in Doña Ana County will be developed and operated by BorderPlex Digital Assets and Stack Infrastructure, which plan to construct an onsite natural gas–powered microgrid capable of supplying 700–900 MW of generation directly to the campus. The companies intend to invest more than $165B over 30 years, making Project Jupiter one of the largest private technology investments proposed in the Southwest. In the Data Center Demand Tracker, East Daley Analytics expects the full campus to be in service by October 2029 and to consume 110–140 MMcf/d of gas once fully operational. Kinder Morgan’s (KMI) El Paso Natural Gas (EPNG) system could benefit from this new demand. EPNG’s South Mainline runs through Doña Ana County and transports Permian gas across southern New Mexico (see basin and regional pipeline map from Energy Data Studio). However, East Daley’s West Coast Supply & Demand model shows the South Mainline is fully utilized seasonally. A second option is Energy Transfer’s (ET) new Desert Southwest expansion on Transwestern Pipeline, which is expected to add at least 1.5 Bcf/d of takeaway capacity from the Permian toward Arizona and Southern California. ET has been light on details for its latest pipeline, including the planned route. But in a project update on its website, ET lists Doña Ana County as a delivery point for Desert Southwest. Assuming the new pipeline traverses southern New Mexico, it could provide additional volumes to the county and support Project Jupiter’s demand. ET plans to start Desert Southw…

What makes the AI bubble so unusual is that it's a bubble of snake oil that nobody wants - except the people making money off it, the people who think they can make money off it, and the people who've swallowed the snake oil kool-aid.

This is particularly stunning because the sheer number of times we demonstrated Bjorn Lomborg was just flat-out lying grew so large that it almost became literally pointless to keep doing it, because he just ignores it and keeps on going
Post See new posts Conversation Steven Pinker @sapinker Bjorn Lomborg, an early survivor of 21st century cancel culture, has long raised vital questions. Rather than disputing his logic or conclusions (which he would be the first to admit could be wrong), academics & activists tried to demonize & silence him, a trend that grew. @Marian_L_Tupy recounts the history. https://quillette.com/2025/11/20/a-vindication-of-bjorn-lomborg/ From quillette.com 7:47 PM · Nov 22, 2025 · 136.7K Views

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Here at the department of WAR we’re focused on LETHALITY and the WARRIOR ETHOS which is why we’re ignoring a conventional attack on a NATO member so we can drone strike boats in the Caribbean.

Dzisiaj na katowickim rynku miało miejsce zgromadzenie przeciwko imigracji. Migracja to nie straszak. Migracja to wyzwanie, które wymaga rozsądnej polityki, a nie histerii i rasistowskich haseł.

Wczorajszy tekst z okazji 7. rocznicy zamachu terrorystycznego w Charlotesville. Niestety obawiam się że zeitgeist i social media tak działają, że ataków z użyciem samochodów jeszcze trochę zobaczymy w przyszłości.

9 lipca w Łodzi odbył się marsz przeciwko imigracji, organizowany przez RN i MW. Jesteśmy zszokowani, że władze Łodzi pozwoliły na szerzenie nienawiści i rasizmu i wydały nawet żadnego komunikatu, który sprzeciwiłby się skandalicznym przekazom tego wydarzenia.
