Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory comes up
Frontier Forum: Future-proofing data center power infrastructure
- ▶ 1:12 Stephen Lacey Michael Stadler was running microgrid R&D for the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, modeling different microgrid configurations from combined heat and power to renewables.
The potential for flexible data centers
- ▶ 28:47 Tyler Norris So, so actually, like, Lawrence Berkeley Lab and their recent data center energy usage report in December that was congression mandated, 2 times in the scene
A skeptic’s take on AI electricity load growth
- ▶ 4:40 Shayle Kann He worked at Lawrence Berkeley National Labs for a long time, and then at Stanford before founding his own firm, Kumi Analytics, which focuses, amongst other things, on this exact question of AI and data center-driven electricity load…
- ▶ 6:51 John Koomey I was a staff scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab at that time, and I had done work on computing electricity before that in the early to mid-nineties, so people came to me and said, well, you know, do these numbers make any sense?
- ▶ 16:24 John Koomey And, uh, some are better at explaining what those assumptions are, like the, the LBNL report to Congress that came out in December of 24.
- ▶ 43:10 John Koomey There's all these stories, you know, I worked at Lawrence Berkeley Lab for many years, and there's a story of, ah, Steve Chu used to be the lab director there, and, ah, the supercomputer guy said to him, hey, we want to build this…
- ▶ 49:11 John Koomey So it's probably more, but the, so, uh, I don't remember in gigawatts, but the, the U the U S number from the, the report to Congress that just came out from LBL, uh, was something like on the order of two percent of the electricity in 20,… 2 times in the scene
The news quiz episode!
- ▶ 11:11 Stephen Lacey According to the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, there are 12,000 wind, solar, and battery projects sitting in the U.S. interconnection queue.
The Big Switch: Are Batteries the New Oil?
- ▶ 17:55 Dan Steingart And in fact, they blew up so much that I wasn't allowed to work on them at Lawrence Berkeley Lab, and my project had to change.
Fixing interconnection
- ▶ 9:31 Tyler Norris And at the same time, we've seen, and this has been documented by Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, the time required to interconnect has approximately doubled from around 15 years ago.
Mailbag episode! Biotech, layoffs, battery recycling and more
- ▶ 29:34 Shayle Kann There's actually just a study, I think, um, maybe last week or a couple weeks ago that came out, uh, from, I think, Lawrence Berkeley National Labs that, uh, that found that permitting, I'm sorry, interconnection costs in PJM, which is the…
Ammonia: the beer of decarbonization
- ▶ 36:04 Julio Friedmann Who, like, wrote that chapter at Lawrence Berkeley Lab.
