pub test: journalists attributing their political opinions to the public.
social cohesion: police violence against the anti-genocide public.
the public: pays their mortgages.

Something lacking from this coverage is that "usage" probably isn't even - there are probably a very small fraction of users consuming the vast majority of energy, mostly through agents, coding and video production

This isn't "rapid adoption", it's rapid digital bloating and inefficiency.

I missed most of Trevor Phillips this morning. Does anyone know if he pitched this story to Nadim Zahawi?
Also, 15mins in and still nothing about it on the Sky 10am news.

A stacked area chart of the electricity generation mix on the island of Ireland with the following fuel types: battery, biomass, waste-to-energy, hydro, solar, wind, oil, and gas. There is also a black line showing electricity demand. Footnote reads: All-island figures. Excludes rooftop solar. Source: EirGrid, SEMO

Renewable generation and discharging storage equalled 50% of yesterday's electricity demand, with a peak of 69% at 04:45. Fossil fuel generation (mostly gas) equalled 37% of demand. 0% of generation was exported, 12% of demand was met by imports.
