Hi Zach, good to see Cleantechnica posting here. Keep it up.
I reserve judgment on 47 helping the climate in any way. If electricity demand drops the crypto bros will use it to suck up more electricity for Bitcoin. Which actually would increase supply for Bitcoin and crater the price. I’m good with that.
one problem... The idiot will legislate to keep the most polluting plants open and shut down the renewables... economics be damned... environment too...
I agree that electricity demand will not be dropping without some kind of very significant economic downturn. Instead all the newer forecasts seem to be projecting a large uptick in electricity demand due to AI and data center demand over the next 7 years.

Seems doubtful, as the electricity demand for AI & data centres alone would easily take up the slack.
