I think all the grid managers are concerned about impending shortages and that will be aggravated by AI but they have not got a message and pictures to take to the people.

I am surprised that they have not done the kind of sketch that I have done for Australia, of course it is simpler here because coal was the overwhelmingly dominant providers before the unreliables turned up and we have no access to other grids.

You can see how a tipping point occurs when we ran coal down to the present position.
