"Energy dominance," you say?

As of this year, *China is exporting more clean-energy technology than the US is exporting the dirty stuff*.

The future is green energy & China, not the US, is set to dominate it.

China Is Beating the US in the Battle for Energy Export Dominance

China’s exports of clean energy technology hit a record in August, with $20 billion shipped globally.

Renewables (primarily solar and wind) have grown dramatically over the past five years while other electricity sources have been relatively flat. Renewables are on track to generate more electricity than coal in 2025 (and already have over H1 of the year):

Fornybart er distribuert og naturen trives rundt turbiner, kabler og solceller, sikrer nasjon, infrastruktur, folk og lar industrien kutte utslipp som vi kan begrense oppvarmingen

Sikrare straumforsyning vil koste meir natur

Skal vi sikre straumforsyninga i Noreg, må det takast ned meir skog. Nettselskapa seier det vil føre til tap av natur.

Igjen Sverige. Ikke i Norge, her lar lokale politikere seg kue av løgnene til motvind som skyver naturen foran seg på falske premisser og overmoralistiske naturvernere. I mellontidennbygger Europe ren energi og kutter utslipp.

Not everything sucks! If you need power today, you build solar. Cheap Chinese solar panels should just be embraced. Because they’re a product, not a commodity no real dependencies are created.

Hadde pengene vært bedre brukt på solceller varmepumper isolering vinduer og brukte elbiler, ja uten tvil, det hadde permanent senket behovet for energi, sant dekket d lokalt, men å skylde på noen få rike er litt bortkastet, d er prisen for en flat pris

Nei det gjør ikke det. Folk vil ikke kjøpe 10 nye varmeovner og 50 nye badebasseng. Noen veldig få vil la varmen stå på og ha det litt varmere i boblebadet, men myten om jervens paradoks er fortsatt bare en myte, de fleste av oss har led pærer og smarte ovner som senker varmen når vi legger oss.

Yes but we didn’t start wth a full rooster of models in all segments, we had think, leaf, triplets and tesla. So in that regard it’s not too bad, but Denmark is a joy to watch take off.

A transition to 100% Wind-Water-Solar across all energy sectors in the U.S. requires only 35% of the land used for energy by fossil fuels and biofuels today.

It is current energy that is hogging land. Renewables reduce land use.

Gjør helt vondt i magen å lese det Høie sier her - for han har helt rett. Delegitimeringen av skeive og minoriteters rettigheter begynner med transpersoner. Vi kjenner alle til diktet.

Som helseminister fjernet Bent Høie kravet om sterilisering for å endre juridisk kjønn. Ti år senere frykter han at rettighetskampen er på vei bakover – både i Norge og i Europa.

If you're looking for a good read, check out "Death of the Author" by Nnedi Okorafor @nnedi.bsky.social — it's africanfuturism and contemporary literary fiction all rolled into a compulsively readable story. I devoured it in 3 days, but I think it's going to stay with me for a while.

Cover image of "Death of the Author" by Nnedi Okorafor. It features a red, orange, and cyan Ankara pattern in the background with the head and shoulders of a Black woman with long, braided hair on top of it. The title information is contained within her head. The tagline reads: The future of storytelling is here.
