Without any load the turbines will start to accelerate. The protection systems will automatically trip the plant offline before it accelerates out of control and destroys itself.

Demand going down is bad too. The plants will trip offline either way.

No, you literally do turn knobs to control the power level. Hell, at a nuclear plant you literally have to choose every step of every control bank you want to move.

If everyone abandoned their post the power grid would fail in a matter of minutes. Supply and demand have to match every second and without someone adjusting the supply you would pretty quickly get a mismatch large enough to trip off the entire grid.

Probably not with only 76 GPU cores.

Seems like you'd be a lot better off normalizing these graphs.

There is likely no actual difference, but the data is tabulated differently.

Is there a narrative here? Mostly just seems like buying low and selling high.

Also natural gas is used to make fertilizer and prices have skyrocketed due to the sanctions on Russia.

Congrats on getting so many people to actually look at your resume. Usually I get ghosted by 90% of the companies I apply to.

Not gonna lie, I've read a fair bit about this and I still don't understand it or why it's so important. Anyone want to ELI5?

It's honestly still too optimistic. Even making it one hour seems unlikely with no human input.
