Also today…Texas Supreme Court dismissed thousands of cases brought against the electricity industry that cost lives and ruined homes…because the companies didn’t intend to hurt people or cause death, so they can't be accountable. #Texas #ERCOT

Data center demand could drive a 79% increase in ERCOT power prices by 2027.

AI + cloud growth is accelerating energy demand fast.

Energy is no longer just a cost, it’s a strategy.

Data center demand spike could drive 79% ERCOT price hike in 2027: EIA

In a high-demand scenario, data centers could drive 2025-2027 annual load growth 15% higher in Texas and 4.7% higher in PJM Interconnection, the Energy Information Administration said.

Grid and Market Conditions

Texas declares emergency before the freeze. Data centers & AI demand + fragile grid = recipe for disaster. If the gas lines freeze again, your AI revolution goes dark. Meanwhile, insurance rates skyrocket. Infrastructure is the real bottleneck, not code.

Deep Press Analysis — April 5, 2026

Daily global press synthesis: Artemis II moon launch, Trump's Cabinet shake-up, UK Net Zero debate, China's A.I. evolution, and shifting global supply chains.

As Texans prepare for yet another severe weather event, a lot of us may do well to notice the scope of our concern. Are we thinking only about ourselves and our household? Do our neighbors have our back? Do we have theirs? What could we be doing differently - less anxiously, more efficiently, more resiliently - if we were able to move more collectively? What obstacles are keeping us from defaulting to this approach?

🌘 德州南部地熱突破,預示 ERCOT 新時代來臨
➤ 德州南部地熱創新,為 ERCOT 繪製儲能新藍圖
https://www.powermag.com/geothermal-breakthrough-in-south-texas-signals-new-era-for-ercot/
德州聖米格爾電力合作社 (San Miguel Electric Cooperative) 在短短 12 個月內,與 Sage Geosystems 合作建成了全球首座壓力式地熱系統,為德州電網可靠性委員會 (ERCOT) 提供了長期且可調度的儲能方案,以應對不斷變化的發電來源和數據中心日益增長的需求。此創新技術利用地下裂縫儲存能量,為德州偏遠地區的電力供應轉型注入新動力。
+ 這真是太棒了!能在這麼短的時間內完成這樣的前瞻性項目,證明瞭創新的力量。期待看到它為德州電網帶來穩定性。
+ 地熱能的潛力一直被低估,這個項目是一個很好的範例。希望這種技術能夠在全球範圍內推廣,幫助我們實現能源轉型。

Geothermal Breakthrough in South Texas Signals New Era for ERCOT

In just 12 months, Sage Geosystems and San Miguel Electric Cooperative built the world’s first pressure geothermal system. It is now poised to deliver long-duration, dispatchable storage for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) as variable generation and data center demand surge.
