As boating season fun begins remember to keep safety at the forefront of your mind.

🏊‍♂️ Never swim near boats plugged into shore power or docks with electrical service. Learn how to stay safe from electric shock drowning.

If you are in the water and feel electric current:
🛟Shout to let others know.
🛟Tuck your legs up to make yourself smaller.
🛟Try to go away from anything that could be energized.
🛟Do not head to boat or dock ladders to get out.

If you are on the dock or shore when a swimmer feels electrical current:
🛟Do not jump in.
🛟Throw them a nonconductive flotation device.
🛟Unplug or turn off the source of electricity as quickly as possible.
🛟Call for help and 9-1-1.

Less than a light bulb…💡

Your brain runs on just 12 watts. That’s less than a lightbulb.
From the moment you were born, your brain has powered about 100 billion neurons using the energy of a few grapes. Meanwhile…
A laptop? ~150 watts.
The world’s fastest supercomputer? 21+ million watts.
And when scientists tried to simulate your brain? They needed 2.7 billion watts the output of a nuclear power plant and it still ran slower than real time.
The Blue Brain Project proved something wild: we can barely imitate the human brain with today’s tech even when we throw absurd amounts of power at it.
Even AI has limits. Training models like GPT-3 used about 1.3 gigawatt-hours. Every time you ask ChatGPT something? That takes about 0.34 watt-hours like running your oven for one second. Multiply that by billions of prompts daily, and the electricity demand explodes.
So why is your brain so efficient?
Because evolution didn’t optimize for perfection it optimized for good enough, fast, and cheap.
Your neurons use low-precision signals, adjust power based on task, and rely on the body and senses to share the load.
Intelligence isn’t just in the head. It’s in movement, sensation, memory, and interaction. Your body makes your brain smarter.
As AI evolves, the next breakthroughs might not be about being smarter but being leaner, faster, and radically more energy-efficient.
Because biology is still the undisputed champion of efficiency.

Congratulations to our new electricians! Team ECS is growing.

05/14/2026

The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that between 2024 and 2034, there will be a shortage of roughly 81,000 electricians on average each year in the US, measured in terms of unfilled jobs. The BLS projects the number of employed electricians to grow 9 percent over the next decade, “much faster than the average for all occupations.” One McKinsey study came to a more dire conclusion: Between 2023 and 2030, it estimates that an additional 130,000 trained electricians—as well as 240,000 construction laborers and 150,000 construction supervisors—would be needed in the US.

Did you know that the ‘static electricity’ that arises from the fracturing and friction between your coffee beans during grinding can cause coffee grounds to dissolve into your morning cup of Joe!
Reduce the ‘static electric charge’ by adding a tablespoon of water before grinding.
Your welcome..☕️
