Marketing hype bullshit.

These guys are acting as though this is some new concept, whilst they've just rebranded it in a shiny silver package. Aero derived gas turbines like the RR RB211 are everywhere, already packaged like this, powering oil rigs and pipelines everywhere - I worked on them years ago.

Looking forward to coal companies jumping on the bandwagon if they haven't already - "Introducing CoalGen 3.0 - our new cloud connected, AI powering, next gen coal power station."

Every passing day it feels more and more like we're living in some Wall-E like, capitalist dystopia where everything has just lost all purpose and capitalism has just gone into runaway mode, having fine tuned everything for maximum profit, instead of us producing things we and the planet actually need.
