Planning with Grok the AI of XAll the artificial intelligence is useless if there is a clueless person at the other end: Grok is able to present pages and pages of incorrect calculations as wisdom.For my newsletters and projects it is necessary to have and acquire a lot of knowledge. How does that work? A large company or organization has many of its own departments and can hire external consultants. That's where the problem begins. But what do you do if you have to figure everything out yourself? In 2021, I was faced with the problem of "How do I communicate with my ventilation system?". I had a list of commands, but what do I have to enter on the notebook so that this command is transmitted to the ventilation system via the USB to RS485 adapter? Finally, someone on an industrial automation forum answered my question. The next day I went to Roller Deinlein, where my ventilation system was located, entered the commands and it worked.
After the visit to Banská Bystrica, it became clear: if a prototype is to be installed from November 2025, there is no time to develop full-surface wall heating with water. Therefore, the switch was made to air, as reported in the newsletter of March 2. In Ubakus, you can easily define a heating level and enter a temperature for the heating level. You don't need to worry too much about this with water. But heat transfer from air to surfaces is a completely different problem. So how do you calculate the required air temperature? Especially after I heard about experiments in the early 90s where the air temperature in the system was almost 10° higher than the interior temperature. After a fruitless search for the calculation of water-to-air heat exchangers, I asked Grok. A scenario could be developed where the air temperature in the heating system was really that high. Unfortunately, Grok had forgotten everything on Saturday and I had to describe the whole scenario again. Why the tests at -50° C at all? A shareholder of GEMINI next Generation AG has a large property in Prince George. It can get down to -50° C there. A few years ago I thought that was 1950 and looked at weather data from January: 2 weeks not a single hour warmer than -25° C and it went down to -44° C. Incidentally, Prince George is at the same latitude as Hamburg and gives a drastic impression of what Europe would look like without the Gulf Stream. Incidentally, all this artificial intelligence is of no use if there is a clueless person at the other end: Grok is able to present pages and pages of incorrect calculations as the last word in wisdom.
There were no dramatic differences in the calculations for heating and cooling. However, the price of the respective heating system was not calculated. For example, a standard method of construction is a concrete ceiling with impact sound insulation on top and screed on top. If you take this for granted, then you only calculate the additional costs for laying the pipes for underfloor heating. In theory, underfloor heating is also suitable for cooling in summer, but a cold floor is perceived as unpleasant. When asking in a forum, there were even reports of cramps. In the north, the system competes against underfloor heating and in the south against cheap, unhealthy draught air conditioning systems with enormous power consumption. The air conditioning frontier is moving north due to climate change. The design philosophy is simple: whether in Prince George at -50° C or in Death Valley at 50° C, the system should be cheap and offer the best comfort.
CORP has been in existence since 1996. CORP stands for Competence Center for Urban Planning and Regional Development. There is a CORP conference every year, otherwise 2025 would not be the 30th conference. This year's CORP conference is in Graz from April 14 to 16. Here is the program of the conference. On page 5 in the middle column below you can find my presentation. This is on Monday, April 14 from 16:00 to 17:30 in Auditorium 4. Since there are 4 talks in this column, I think my talk will be at 17:00. Energy Optimised Settlements — Enabler for Necessary Civilization Targets Is the title of my contribution.
If the old Bundestag, which has been voted out of office, really does pass this constitutional amendment, then the major political discussion on optimizing the costs of the energy transition must start immediately. Without dramatic cost optimization, this amendment to the Basic Law would be the end of Germany as an industrial location. My presentation at the CORP conference could also be interpreted as "How to save Germany as an industrial location". If politicians are seriously interested in the well-being of citizens, then my concepts for a cost-optimized, functional energy transition can no longer be ignored.
Net zero emissions means reducing greenhouse gas emissions to a level that nature can supposedly absorb for a long time. For the rich, this means Maintain poverty, cause poverty, so that enough emission rights remain for the rich. See the architect and her opinion that Africans don't need roads.
Planetary cleanup back to 350 ppm CO2 means about 47,000 TWh of electricity to filter 1 ppm CO2 from the atmosphere and recycle it into carbon and oxygen. Who can afford that? Only a rich human race, 10 billion people in prosperity can do it. One million km² of energy-optimized settlement areas alone should contribute 150,000 TWh for the necessary electricity for world-wide prosperity and planetary restoration.
It's not about whether the shares will be worth 10 times or 100 times more in 20 years' time or whether they will only be worth a few cents. It's about the future of us all. Will there be a big showdown between eco-fascism and yesterday's fossils, or will it be possible to overcome the deep divisions in society and inspire supporters of both sides to work towards a great new goal? Global prosperity and planetary restoration instead of saving, restricting, renouncing and climate catastrophe or peak oil and a little more climate catastrophe. Both sides must be convinced that they have no solution that is even remotely viable. On the one hand, it must be shown that net-zero emissions are a completely inadequate target and that the goal must instead be a planetary clean-up back to 350 ppm CO2. The other side must be shown that solar power enables a higher standard of living than fossil energy. It's about survival! The social situation in 2025 compared to 2005, extrapolated to 2045, makes for a horror world! If we are successful and your shares are worth 100 times more, this is just an addition to all the other achievements. One new shareholder said, "Me with my very modest investment", but €4,000 times €1,000 is also €4 million for all investments up to the opening of the settlement in Unken as a starting point for global expansion. There is a reward program for recommending the share to others. Two of the new shareholders have become shareholders through this reward program. Here are the details.
The situation has changed fundamentally since this company visited Slovakia. Necessary investment volume reduced by around 90%. Time to marketable product shortened by around one year. The 90% reduction in investment volume also means that each shareholder has significantly more shares. |
