Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Men are socialized to hate women. They are told from a small age the worst thing they can do is “cry like a girl, or throw like a girl or act like a girl.” Then they grow up associating women & girls with shame. And that is how this misogyny breeds. It is patriarchal conditioning from the get-go.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

The memorandum of understanding with Alberta might look like surrender. Look closer

For those not familiar with this: Finland is changing their rail gauge to International from Russian. It won't accommodate Russian trains anymore. This is a physical rebuild, and expensive. Finland MEANS IT!

Can add from Sweden that Gripen E is completely new generation, no upgrade from Gripen C. Thats why Sweden switch.
But it is partly made to beat Russia and to function in cold climate + can use Meteor and Taurus missiles.
But not made to support US attacks on foreign countries.

Seems really concerning that the head of the ECE college does not know the scope of ECE’s work.
The person Doug Ford has appointed to the Ontario College of Early Childhood Educators doesn’t know what ECEs do.
You’ll be surprised to learn that Julie O’Driscoll is a Conservative donor and former comms director for MPP Steve Clark, who resigned amid the Greenbelt land swap controversy.

This woman is my hero. I appreciate her and all her efforts to try to help Ontarians. If you're in a riding and that can give the NDP more seats, please vote accordingly. We need to take voting more seriously. I hope in Ontario we are actually learning a lesson. Get out and vote Ontario. #onpoli
Bill 60 is open season on renters.
It gives corporate landlords more power to hike rents, evict tenants, and squeeze families who are already stretched thin, all while Ontario is dead last in home-building.

Cool to see we are partnering with like minded countries to continue to develop our aerospace technology.
The investment in the European Space Agency programs creates new opportunities for our own space sector to thrive and build a competitive base.

I couldn’t disagree more with Mr. Jiavani. I grew up in a busy household with two working parents, school lunches were a stress point. When I was an exchange student in France I was so surprised to see free healthy lunches in the schools. It was amazing, I ate healthier and no one was left out.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.
