Why electricity, not chips, is the real limit
The surprise of the AI buildout is that the scarcest resource is not chips or money but electricity, and the grid was not built for this. Learn why power became the binding constraint, why connecting a big new load takes years, why data centers are turning to gas and nuclear, and why an unglamorous device, the transformer, quietly gates the whole thing.
The grid: frequency, dispatch, and variability
Why an electrical grid is one giant synchronous machine, what frequency stability and rotational inertia actually mean, how dispatch ordering and ancillary services keep the lights on, and why variable renewable integration is fundamentally an engineering problem at the system level.
