Predicting the Greenest time to use electricity (AU)
Hello all, I built this for fun this year. It may be able to help: - reduce your carbon footprint, - eg. see the best time to charge your EV - eg. hook up a smart heating/cooling system? - learn more about how the renewables transition Currently limited to the Aus National Electricity Market, sorry... Feedback and questions appreciated!

In plain words
This tool shows when electricity is greenest to use on Australia's National Electricity Market by predicting renewable energy availability. Users can check optimal times to charge electric vehicles, schedule smart heating and cooling systems, or learn about the country's renewables transition. It helps reduce carbon footprint by enabling consumers to shift electricity use to periods when the grid relies more heavily on wind and solar power.

From the sources
Greenness is the percentage of electricity that comes from renewables. 100% means all electricity generation for the region (state) is coming from renewable sources; 0% means none. You could use this data to reduce your carbon footprint, learn more about electricity/renewables and - in some cases - reduce energy bills. If you use electricity when Greenness is high, your carbon footprint is lower. This simple-sounding claim is surprisingly complex; read below for details. Nevertheless, here are some ideas that can reduce your footprint: Unfortunately, everyday households can't yet take advantage of this data to lower bills. There are some retailers that offer pass-through pricing for…from greenforecast.au

ChatGPT▲1,643A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…
