But why?

Because that's what the next big "break though" is.  Mag 7 stocks account for 35 percent of the value in the S&P 500.  If AI fails.  Our economy fails.

So humans can do things AI can’t

Regardless of whether or not big corporations use nat gas directly for AI needs, much more gas will be consumed in the years to come (prob starting in ‘25) than now. I like to think the price of gas will be multiples of what it is now. At least that’s what I wanna believe owning gas royalties. 

Spinning down coal plants for less dirty thermal sources is always a good thing. Natgas is a good stepping stone on the way to more sustainable and less harmful power, kind of the methadone of fossil fuels

Do you know coal is at the highest production level it has ever been?

Largely because the natural gas spigot from Russia got turned off, yes. Europe is a cold place, and they need heat sources. You can bet your asses they're not going long on coal and are looking to decarbonize

It doesn’t matter what is happening across the world to these types. It only matters what occurs in their little worlds. 

Literally, lol. Lemme know whenever you work out if natgas pipelines and oil refineries are part of the oil and gas industry.

Anyways, I thought that was an interesting video about new and upcoming gen 4 nuclear neactors, including one being deployed pretty close to home in Seadrift in the late 2020s. Sorry to have ruffled some O&G feathers over the threat to your royalty checks lol

Fascinating podcast about how much power AI uses. I can’t remember all of the specific numbers, but basically 1 Microsoft AI facility uses the same amount of electricity as the city of San Francisco. 

Saw a stat that a ChapGPT query uses 10x the energy of a google search.

Yeah I think they quoted that in the podcast. It’s crazy.

The query itself doesn't, but they're basically amortizing the energy/water usage for creating the LLM that powers chatGPT/Gemini/etc/etc

No, they are stating it's the query itself using that amount.
