This is an interesting new #OpenAccess paper looking at the intersection of energy, development, neighborhood race and class in #SouthAfrica.
They find that #Solar panel installation is by far more common in wealthy and especially white neighborhoods, and that the drop in #NighttimeLight radiance observed from #VIIRS_DNB is lowest in these neighborhoods.
They suggest that solar adoption may reduce the impact of #LoadShedding (i.e. #RollingBlackouts).
I see a few issues with their methodology, but it's nevertheless so interesting to see all these aspects combined with day and nighttime #RemoteSensing.

#Ireland embraced #DataCenters that the #AI boom needs. Now they’re consuming too much of its energy
By MATT O’BRIEN
December 19, 2024CLONDALKIN, Ireland (AP) — "Dozens of massive data centers humming at the outskirts of #Dublin are consuming more electricity than all of the urban homes in Ireland and starting to wear out the warm welcome that brought them here.
"Now, a country that made itself a computing factory for #Amazon, #Google, #Meta, #Microsoft and #TikTok is wondering whether it was all worth it as tech giants look around the world to build even more data centers to fuel the next wave of #ArtificialIntelligence.
"Fears of #RollingBlackouts led Ireland’s grid operator to halt new data centers near Dublin until 2028. These huge buildings and their powerful computers last year consumed 21% of the nation’s electricity, according to official records. No other country has reported a higher burden to the International Energy Agency.
"Not only that, but Ireland is still heavily reliant on burning #FossilFuels to generate electricity, despite a growing number of wind farms sprouting across the countryside. Further data center expansion threatens Ireland’s goals to sharply cut planet-warming emissions.
"Ireland is a 'microcosm of what many countries could be facing over the next decade, particularly with the growth of AI,' said energy researcher Paul Deane of University College Cork."

" “It cannot be stressed enough that this is an exceptionally dangerous and lethal situation,” wrote the National Weather Service.
Temperatures surpassing 100 to 120 will be a daily occurrence over most of the state, while warm nighttime lows offer minimal relief.
The Weather Service has warned that “numerous heat related fatalities and #RollingBlackouts” are possible."

Ever wonder how much #electricity the #Triton #HPC cluster uses, or how we/you can reduce that, or if power cuts will effect it? A user asked us, so we wrote up a #sustainability statement:
https://scicomp.aalto.fi/about/sustainability/In short:
- The cluster is more efficient than your computer (and idles less)
- Come to us and we can help make your code or workflow more efficient #SciCompGarage
- #RollingBlackouts shouldn't affect Triton - so even more reason to use it
- We do think about this stuff -

This morning had our first (unplanned!) power cut this winter. So many house alarms need reconfiguring to not go off if the power is interrupted. One wave started when the power went down, another when it came back. Ours? Perfectly silent. Not even the tamper alarm went off.
It's been over 2 hours and there's still one alarm, somewhere in the distance, going off. Shouldn't these things have time-outs?
I am dreading planned #RollingBlackouts as our area has midnight-3am as one timeslot. Will I ever have decent sleep at a weekend again?
