Screenshot of a Substack post by Dr Sam Illingworth: Training GPT-4 consumed roughly 150 million litres of water. Microsoft's carbon emissions have risen 23% since 2020, driven almost entirely by AI infrastructure. We are using the most energy-intensive technology ever created to summarise emails and write LinkedIn posts. Every prompt has an environmental cost. Who is asking whether the output was worth it?

UK tries to break gas link with voluntary long-term fixed price contracts for all renewables UK solar plants without fixed-price contracts will be offered voluntary long-term fixed-price agreements under a new “Wholesale Contracts for Difference” regime from 2026. The policy seeks to reduce e...

Big shift in the UK energy market⚡

Renewables could soon opt into long-term fixed-price contracts, cutting exposure to volatile gas-driven prices 💸📉

At the same time, higher taxes on excess profits aim to protect consumers during price spikes, building towards a fairer energy future 🔄🌍

If you go back and watch a movie like All the Presidents's Men, it will really hit you how massively our country has changed in my lifetime. It was unthinkable for any of today's headlines to ever even exist back then.

A lot of you think it's always been this bad, but it hasn't. It really hasn't.

Who else agrees Biden was—without a doubt—a better president than Trump could ever be? #VoteYesVirginia

Wow missed this.

Solar is delivering the equivalent of 27 nuclear plants during the day. Pumped hydro stores ~3 nuclear plants worth. Batteries already stepping in.

This isn’t a generation problem anymore. It’s storage scale.

Energy scarcity → energy timing. #BESS #Solar

Germany just activated its largest ever solar installation — one farm, 1.5 million homes, zero carbon. The #CottbusSolarPark covers 3,500 hectares and produces 2.1 tw-hours annually, replacing two coal plants that operated on this same land until 2022. #SolarPower #ActOnClimate #Renewables

Not to sound naive, but isn't this the "balls and strikes" guy? Roberts sounds much more interested in not being disruptive of corporate profits rather than settling legal questions.

Also, has US jurisprudence since '09 been determined by a grudge b/c Roberts messed up the oath? Please tell me no

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

Kudos to @nytimes.com for their reporting on origins of the shadow docket.

Besides SCOTUS ignoring env consequences of gutting CPP (noted in the article), the memoes reveal how protective Roberts is of the interests of corporations. 1/2

#FuckAi

"Why so many people use happily a flawed code, why do they give away their autonomy freely to Ai?"

Because we are lazy.
Using our brain is tiresom.
Mastering a skill is hard and time-consuming.

We want fun without the hassle.
And many people don't care about the costs and consequences.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

All true. And all worthy of high praise, on top of being a decent and coherent human being.

Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it.

For all the predictably dismissive coverage of the anti-Trump protests it is telling that there has been almost zero attempts to organize a pro-Trump response at any similar scale.

Where's our Ellsberg? No one has this on a thumb drive somewhere?

What's even worse is that it took her until 2020 to withdraw.
