Mu kiganiro cyabereye muri Delta ku isabukuru y’imyaka 55, “Energy's New Frontier: From Inyubako Ugana AI”, Dr. Lovins yavuze ko igishushanyo mbonera cy’ikoranabuhanga atari ikoranabuhanga rishya, ahubwo ari uburyo butandukanye bwo gutekereza. Igishushanyo mbonera cy’ubuhanga gisanzwe gitangirana no kunoza ibice bya buri kimwe mbere yo kubishyira hamwe. Igishushanyo mbonera cy’ikoranabuhanga, ariko, gihindura uru rutonde: gitangirana na sisitemu rusange, kigasobanura intego zifuzwa, hanyuma kigashushanya ibice bya buri kimwe kugira ngo gishyigikire intego. Ni igice cyirengagijwe cyane cy’impinduka z’ingufu enye zirimo guhindura isi vuba kuva ku mikoreshereze idakora neza kugera ku mikoreshereze myiza, ibikomoka kuri peteroli bikajya ku bikomoka ku bimera bishobora kongera gukoreshwa, ibikomoka kuri peteroli bikajya ku mashanyarazi, kandi bigashyirwa hamwe ku mutungo ukwirakwizwa. Ibi ntibikeneye amayobera, ibitangaza, cyangwa ikoranabuhanga rishya, ahubwo bisaba ubwenge bw’abatangira gusa, gutekereza ku buryo bwose, igishushanyo mbonera cyoroshye cyane, no kwitabwaho cyane ku tuntu duto - hanyuma kubishyira mu bikorwa bisaba ipiganwa, dipolomasi, no kwihangana gukomeye.
Dr. Lovins yagaragaje ko inyubako zikoresha kimwe cya kane cy'amashanyarazi ya Amerika n'igice cy'isi. Atuye mu nzu yubatswe na nyirayo idafite sisitemu yo gushyushya, metero 2200 hejuru mu misozi ya Rocky hafi ya Aspen, aho ubushyuhe bwamanukaga bukagera kuri -44˚C. Iyi nzu yafashije abantu benshi bo mu Burayi gushishikariza inyubako ibihumbi amagana zitagira ubushyuhe kandi zisanzwe mu kubaka. Binyuze mu miterere y'inyubako—ituma habaho ubushyuhe, kunoza uburyo bwo guhumeka, no kuvugurura amatara—ikoreshwa ry'ingufu mu nyubako rishobora kugabanuka cyane.
Inganda zikoresha kimwe cya kabiri cy'ingufu zikoreshwa ku isi. Imiyoboro ihujwe n'ibi bikoresho akenshi iba idakozwe neza, bigatuma habaho gutakaza imbaraga zidakenewe. Iyo imiyoboro y'amazi yo mu nganda ikorwa yagutse kandi igororotse kugira ngo ikureho guhindagurika, ntabwo 90% by'amashanyarazi byashoboraga kurokoka gusa, ahubwo n'amapompo manini kandi ahenze yashoboraga kugabanywa, ndetse n'amapompo atari ngombwa ashobora no gukurwaho.
Ibigo by’amakuru bifite ubushobozi bunini bwo kuzigama ingufu. Mu 2003, ubwo ibigo by’amakuru byakoreshaga nibura ingufu zikubye kabiri mu gushyigikira seriveri kurusha kuzikoresha, RMI yahuje impuguke mu nganda zirenga 90 maze ishakisha uburyo bwo kuzigama ~ 89% by’ikoreshwa ry’ingufu risanzwe, bishoboka ko hakoreshejwe ubushobozi buke, kubaka vuba, no gukoresha neza no gukora neza. Kuzigama byabayeho ku nzego nyinshi—imiterere ya sisitemu, porogaramu, gukusanya amakuru, ibikoresho, n’ibindi bikoresho.
Gukoresha ingufu ku isi byikubye hafi inshuro ebyiri kuva mu gihe cya Neolithic kugeza mu 1820, hanyuma byikubye gatatu, ariko ubu bishobora kongera kwikuba kabiri hakoreshejwe uburyo busanzwe, ndetse bikongeraho inshuro eshatu binyuze mu kongeramo "igishushanyo mbonera gihuriweho" - uburyo bwagaragaye bwo kunoza inyubako, imodoka, n'inganda nk'uburyo bwose. Ni ukuvuga ko guhuza ingufu ku isi bishobora gusubirwamo, ku nyungu nini mu bukungu no mu mutekano. Ingero amagana z'ingirakamaro zigaragaza ko ubu buryo bufite akamaro gakomeye mu iterambere no mu kwihangana kwa Tayiwani.
Mu gihe cyo guhindura ingufu, uretse kunoza imikorere myiza y'ingufu binyuze mu gushushanya hamwe, ikoreshwa ry'ingufu zishobora kongera gukoreshwa naryo ni ingenzi mu gushimangira umutekano w'ingufu. Bloomberg (New Energy Finance) yavuze ko ingufu zishobora kongera gukoreshwa mu 2023 ari zo zari amahitamo ahendutse cyane kugira ngo kimwe cya kabiri kugeza kuri bibiri bya gatatu by'amashanyarazi menshi ku isi akwiranye na bitatu bya gatanu by'umusaruro rusange w'isi harimo u Burayi, Ubuhinde, Ubushinwa na Burezili. Nubwo impungenge zikunze kugaragara ku ngufu zishobora kongera gukoreshwa ari uguhindagurika kwazo, guhindagurika ntibigereranywa no kutizerwa. Binyuze mu ikoranabuhanga ryo guteganya igihe, uburyo bwo kubika ingufu, no gucunga uburyo bwo gusubiza ibyo umuntu akeneye, urubuga rukoresha ingufu zishobora kongera gukoreshwa rushobora gukora neza nk'uko bisanzwe—kandi uyu ni wo muriro w'amashanyarazi wizewe kandi usukuye ukenewe mu gihe cya AI.
Urufunguzo rw'impinduka mu ngufu ruri mu gushushanya no gukoresha sisitemu z'ingufu mu buryo bw'ubwenge. Delta yiyemeje kunoza imikorere myiza y'ingufu binyuze mu gutanga ibisubizo by'ingufu n'imicungire y'ubushyuhe kuva ku muyoboro w'amashanyarazi kugera ku mashini zigezweho no gufasha ibigo by'amakuru bya AI kongera imikorere myiza y'ingufu. Byongeye kandi, binyuze muri microgrids, Delta ihuza ingufu zishobora kuvugururwa, utunyangingo twa hydrogen lisansi, n'ububiko bw'ingufu kugira ngo yohereze amasoko y'ingufu mu buryo bw'ubwenge no gukomeza imbaraga zo guhangana n'urusobe rw'amashanyarazi. Umuhango wacu wo kunoza imikorere myiza y'ingufu washyigikiye iterambere ry'ubucuruzi bwacu, bigaragaza filozofiya ya Dr. Lovins y'uko amasosiyete ashobora kugera ku nyungu no ku buryo burambye. Kuva yagera ku gipimo cyo hejuru cy'ibyuka bihumanya ikirere muri 2017, Delta yagiye igabanya imyuka ihumanya ikirere kuva mu 2018 mu gihe inyungu zakomeje kwiyongera, bigaragaza ko ubucuruzi bugenda bugabanuka bitewe n'ibyuka bihumanya ikirere. Dukurikije ibyo Dr. Lovins yibukije ko "tubyare imbuto kandi tugabanye," reka dutere imbere hamwe dufata imitekerereze yo gukuramo kugira ngo tugere ku buryo burambye kandi twubake ejo hazaza heza.
