  1. OpEd - #DieselFuel Being Removed From Market

    by raymichael

    "There is another aspect about the impact of #datacenters which isn’t being discussed much. We have heard about the electric and water issues. Now it has come to my attention that data centers require a huge amount of #diesel to be stored on site for their backup diesel generators. There are over 1400 data center sites being built or planned.

    "The backup generators are needed in case of an electric interruption from the grid. Just one facility #QTS in #Utah is going to store 2.6 million gallons of diesel in onsite tanks. Another site in #Delaware is going to take 2.5 million gallons. This is a larger site and smaller sites will take less diesel. However with over 1400 sites the storage of diesel could very well reach over 1 billion gallons of diesel. That is a lot of diesel that is taken from the supply chain.

    "So what are the implications for the diesel supply. As supply shrinks will the price go up? Will there be shortages? And what happens in #hurricane areas where the grid goes down for quite some time. Some of these facilities will consume over 800,000 gallons of diesel a day. At that rate does that area even have that much extra diesel on hand to resupply. Who gets priority? #Citizens and trucking companies? Or data centers?

    "This just adds another element to the data center discussion. Politicians who dont want the data centers favor a more balanced supply of diesel. Politicians who want #datacenters want diesel fuel removed from the market supply. If campaigns in areas where diesel is a concern highlite this point it could alter the campaign narrative around data centers and diesel."

  5. So you've heard about measles in Pennsylvania and you're wondering if you need a booster:

    If you were born before 1957, or know you had measles, you're likely immune.

    If you've had two doses of live-virus measles vaccine (most likely MMR), you're covered.

    If you got the early, pre-1967 vaccine, you might need a booster.

    More details: phillyvoice.com/measles-vaccin

    No outbreak yet in Maryland or Delaware, but they're both close to Lancaster County.
