"Every grid in the US is utilized at a load factor that's less than 50%," Constellation Energy CEO Joseph Dominguez says. "Half of the grid isn't being utilized. 80% of the time, about 50% of America's power plants don't even run."

🚨 ELON MUSK: "Batteries are going to be a massive thing. The scale of battery demand, I think not that many people appreciate just how gigantic the scale of battery demand is. The sustained power output from the US grid is around 1 TW, but average usage is less than half of it. If you add batteries to the mix, you can run the power plants 24/7 at full capacity. More than doubling the energy output per year of the United States, just with batteries."

AI needs energy fast. Meanwhile, renewable power plants are forced to curtail or shut down when the grid can't handle the amount of power being produced. All that energy - wasted. Soluna has a solution. $SLNH

Professor Jin Yong from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Tsinghua University and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering: “Battery swapping technology is extremely important for China. Every new energy vehicle is essentially a large power bank. With battery swap stations, we can significantly address the issue of building energy storage facilities. When the power grid is under strain, these vehicles can feed electricity back into the grid, helping to form an intelligent power network and playing a key role in grid stability. This will provide strong support for the overall power layout in China.” $NIO

🇮🇷 Former Energy Minister: The length of Iran's power grid is three times greater than the distance from Earth to the Moon, and this is an important defensive advantage Ali Akbar Mehrabian: 💬 When the enemy is unable to act, he resorts to terror and the destruction of infrastructure. 💬 A strike on a single bridge or factory is in fact an admission of defeat on the battlefield. 💬 We have hundreds of power stations and an extremely extensive power grid. 💬 The length of Iran's power grid exceeds one million kilometers, which is more than three times greater than the distance from Earth to the Moon. Such a scale in itself is a serious defensive advantage. 💬 Of course, any destruction is a damage, but this war has been imposed on us, and we have no doubt about the necessity of defense. 💬 At the same time, our opponents have a limited number of vulnerable power stations. 💬 Electricity is the foundation of all infrastructure. If their power system fails, the production, processing, and transmission of any type of energy in the region will stop. The question is, can the global economy withstand such a situation?

A major gas field in the UK could supply over 10% of the UK's energy, but that gas isn't destined for the grid. The plan instead is to extract it on site, burn it in a local power plant, and use that electricity to mine bitcoin. The energy will be consumed at the source, because that route is simpler and more profitable. Taxes, regulation and grid constraints all add friction. The gas could power homes. It isn't. Because burning it on site makes more money. That is a damning indictment of UK energy policy.

🇺🇸 AI IS PUSHING AMERICA’S POWER GRID TO THE BRINK - TRUMP ADMIN SAYS IT’S GO TIME The U.S. power grid - built for a world of lightbulbs and radios - is now being asked to power AI data centers, electrified factories, and a surging high-tech economy. And it’s not ready yet. At the Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit, Trump, his Cabinet, and energy leaders declared the grid crisis urgent. They're calling for a national overhaul as AI threatens to double electricity demand in the coming decades. Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "The grid we have today wasn’t built for the world we’re entering. We need a grid that grows with the economy, not one that holds it back." Source: Fox News

ELON: HERE’S HOW WE’LL DOUBLE U.S. ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION “If you look at the total U.S. power generation capability, it's roughly a terawatt, but the average power usage is less than half a terawatt. That's because there are big differences in power usage between day and night. So, the daily and seasonal variations in power consumption mean that the United States, and really every country, is only producing about half as much electrical energy as it could. Because without batteries, there's no effective way to buffer the energy. So, what batteries actually enable is that even if you don't build any incremental power plants, you could double the energy output of the United States just with batteries. This is a super big deal. And, in fact, I think that's really where most of the incremental energy production in the United States is going to come from, is literally batteries. So, a bigger deal than it may seem.” Source: Elon Musk, Tesla Shareholder Meeting, November 6, 2025

Jensen Huang $NVDA says the AI energy problem is overblown. “The grid runs ~60% of peak. 99% of the time there’s unused power.” The real opportunity isn’t more energy. It’s smarter data centers. $NBIS is already doing it. In the UK, with National Grid, $NVDA, and Emerald AI, they proved they can cut power usage by up to 40% in under a minute—without impacting critical workloads. Data centers are becoming a grid resource, not a liability. The more I study $NBIS, the more bullish I get.

🇮🇷 Strike Iran's power grid, and every Gulf state goes dark in 50-degree heat. Military and political analyst Elijah Magnier spells out the retaliation scenario everyone keeps ignoring. If Israel or the US hits Iranian energy infrastructure, the response wouldn't stay inside Iran's borders: "If the Americans hit the energy and electricity power plants, you can be sure that all of the energy and electricity power plants in all the GCC countries will be completely destroyed." Picture the Gulf's glass towers with no air conditioning at the peak of summer. The Middle East becomes, in Magnier's words, the biggest free sauna on earth. Elijah J. Magnier 🇪🇺
