Palazzi: AI emissions reduction benefits will far outweigh data center power demands
“So I generally think that we should proceed with the technology innovations that we're seeing. And in fact, we may not really have the full control over not doing so. And that the advances that we will get in emission reduction and energy consumption reduction…”
Palazzi: LLMs could soon replace traditional time-series forecasting algorithms
“It's quite possible that in the not too distant future, you might actually do forecasting by asking an LLM, can you predict the next few weeks of data? Whereas to date, you would use very different algorithms for that.”
Palazzi: California IOUs should share smart meter data with Sunrun and SunPower
