Your AI homework this weekend - listen to Gavin McCormick (@wattTime / @ClimateTRACE) on @scaling_laws. ClimateTRACE is reshaping how we measure emissions. Their findings are upending tired assumptions and challenging many mistaken narratives. No spoilers. Give it a listen.

Developing economies are expected to account for the bulk of new energy demand in the coming years. Many of those regions also have the most #polluting power plants, making them the highest-impact places to build new #renewable energy. reuters.com/business/energ…

DYK: A solar plant’s location has everything to do with its #climate impact? WattTime’s Laura Corso will be at @sxsw with @clearloopUS and @Rivian to talk about just how much location matters for #renewables. schedule.sxsw.com/2025/events/PP…

A new report from @McKinsey finds that not only does an emissionality-based approach to RE procurement reduce more #emissions, but it also expands renewables more cost-effectively (i.e. faster) compared to an hourly-matching approach to procurement. mckinsey.com/industries/ele…

Time-shifting that load explicitly to reduce #emissions can be done every day of the year and that can make an even bigger impact on reducing #GHG emissions and other pollution. Learn more here: watttime.org/solutions/load…

If those flexible loads cut their usage at key times it could prevent some fossil fuel plants from being built – great! Classic demand response (DR) tech can do this in just several hours a year, but what will that flexibility be used for in the other 8,700+ hours each year?

A new paper from the @NichInstitute says that if new loads are flexible, US #grids can serve more (up to 100 GW) w/o building new capacity. latitudemedia.com/news/the-us-gr… But how much does this help the #climate?

WattTime’s @camfassett writes all about the emissions risks of #AI and how we can use marginal emissions data to greatly decrease or avoid the climate burden of data centers in our new blog: watttime.org/news-and-insig…

In addition, where we build data centers matters, and using marginal emissions data to decide where to build can reduce the emissions of a new data center by as much as 50%.

If new US data centers are powered just by natural gas, they could add an extra 180Mt of CO2 into the atmosphere annually. We can avert that #climate burden with a few simple strategies. Obviously, it starts with #renewables. But, there’s more to consider, and that is LOCATION.

One slight tweak could help that money flow toward where it will do more good for the world. Learn more in this paper in Carbon Management by @RBallentine: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
