From electrical contractors to HVAC engineers, people far from Silicon Valley are quietly asking the same question: Is AI a bubble? Speaking with @TheStalwart and @TracyAlloway on Odd Lots, @jasminewsun explains how local communities weigh the massive economic tradeoffs of multi-year data center projects when they aren't even sure if the technology—or its funding—is here to stay.

Cybercab Electrical Architecture: — 48 volt low voltage architecture — 100% of controllers designed by Tesla in house — Cross car wiring eliminated completely. Local controllers connected with ethernet allow parts to run short wires to the local controller rather than across the car to the computer — Custom Tesla microprocessor for power electronics: one chip at half the cost doing the job of four — Fleet data has been used to optimally size the battery pack for the vehicle

Had the opportunity to visit the Dayton Electrical JATC this morning with @NECAnet, IBEW Local 82, DOE’s @AlexFitzDC, and @TravisLRicketts. Local 82 has added 270 electricians since 2022. Up 32%, the largest membership in over 20 years! The sky’s the limit!

BREAKING: National Rail has reported an electrical supply failure, which is causing "major disruption" in Greater Manchester and the North West. Sky's @BarnabyPap has the latest. Click here for live updates:

U.S missiles hit an electrical substation connected to Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant, knocking out external power to the facility without directly striking the reactor itself. Tehran says the plant was not damaged and only temporary local power outages were reported. If that's accurate, the reactor would have automatically switched to backup diesel generators designed for exactly this kind of scenario. The immediate risk isn't a nuclear disaster, it's what happens if the backup systems are later damaged or unable to keep the plant cooled.
