Transit electrification tends to be paced by depot charging, power capacity and fleet scheduling engineering as much as by the vehicles themselves. #EVs #Mobility
In L.A., EV buses purchased with more than $35 million in state funding drove only a fraction of the distance of fossil-fuel powered vehicles.
One $630,000 electric bus added in 2024 had just logged 555 miles in total due to a lack of charging infrastructure.

Where AI compute gets built increasingly comes down to power, water and interconnection engineering rather than land alone. #AIInfrastructure #DataCenters
Big Tech is building big in rural America, where pastures, rivers and fields have become the newest frontier in the AI race.
There are more than 1,300 data center buildings across the U.S., according to Cleanview. An NBC News analysis of Cleanview and federal data finds more than 100 operate in rural America, with another 92 under construction. nbcnews.com/data-graphics/bi…
Human-in-the-loop design and error handling remain decisive engineering factors in whether enterprise AI deployments actually reduce workload. #EnterpriseAI #AIAgents
AI tools are taking on routine customer-service tasks and administrative work, allowing human employees to spend more time on complex cases.
Workers told CNBC that AI errors can create extra work, however, and make difficult interactions even tougher.
