TL;DR 21Oct25 ... (1) "Nvidia Targets AI Data Centers And All-Renewable Electricity" ... and Critique

Last update: 9:46:pm Thursday 10/23/25

Welcome to our 21Oct25 TL;DR summaries by ChatGPT of the past week's top story on our "Useful AI News" page ➡  (1) "Nvidia Targets AI Data Centers And All-Renewable Electricity" ... This TL;DR is different. ChatGPT's summary of the article that reported last week's top story is followed by the blog editor's detailed critique of Nvidia's claim that was reported in the article that "we achieved and will maintain 100% renewable electricity for offices and data centers under our operational control." Nvidia's claim that it will maintain 100% renewable electricity is the stuff of grand satires, like Orwell's masterpieces -- Animal Farm and 1984. The primary reason why data centers have such an insatiable need for ever more massive flows of electric power is because Nvidia's chips are so energy-inefficient. By comparison, Apple has recently paid billions of dollars to TSMC to produce chips that have dramatically higher energy-efficiency. How many billions has Nvidia paid anyone to dramatically reduce the energy demands of its gluttonous chips?

What is the PJM Interconnect? How does it work? And why you should care? ... 1-Basics

Last update:  Saturday 3:27am 10/25/25

This note, Part 1 in a three part series, will provide an introduction to the PJM Interconnect that directs the transmission of electric power across thirteen states and the District of Columbia. Part 2 will highlight features of the PJM that provide persistent advantages — lower electricity bills — for households and enterprises in some states, while imposing persistent penalties — higher electricity bills — on households and enterprises in other states. Part 3 will analyze the ironic causes of the persistent penalties, i.e., the negative externalities,  that are being reported by the media with increasing frequency and stridency.
