    Elon and Cook will be announcing some really good things going forward. Apple doesn't need to do nonsensical things like a stupid Apple EV (such a stupid idea) and Tesla/xAI doesn't need to make a phone.

    You're such a r****d. Houston residents aren't going to pay more. If anything, less

    "Residents in Houston will pay less due to Apple using insane amounts of energy" lol braindead moron.

    Houston which has rolling blackouts cuz ERCOT can't handle demand will somehow get cheaper electricity now that Apple is using massive amounts of electricity lol.

    Man you're such a moron that it's honestly hilarious

    Lol yes the administration that's placing massive amounts of tariffs on construction material is totally "removing the bullshit"

    Braindead

    They are all lining up to make a deal.

    After 3 years of fighting, both Zelensky and Putin are begging Trump to make a deal after laughing at the old man with dementia. imagine voting for Biden and/or Harris in 2024. Idiots.

    Who will?

    Can you give a link to a relative example on how it's supposed to play out?

    The way y'all can't talk or share anything without obsessively jerking off and calling each other stupid in various ways is very tiring to read.

    These posts without the whistles is an interesting read, there could be an interesting discussion to be had on the subject. Maybe. If you don't believe so why even engage with each other? Why waste your time to call everybody an idiot a thousand times, I don't get it. (And yes, first time.)

    Regarding power demand in HOUSTON...

    There are some assumptions here that are likely wrong. The facility in Houston is for assembling AI servers. This sounds like an assembly line, which isn't going to consume a massive amount of power like an AI data center. Their data centers are in NC, IA, OR, AZ, and NV. They are currently running on 100% renewable energy (solar and wind), and they have committed to continuing with 100% renewable energy.

    So, there is likely no significant energy impact in Houston.

    Apple currently "buys" renewables from the grid provider whoever they are. Trump is trying to roll back all subsidies for renewables so supply won't be so Elastic.
