The omnibus rerelease/retranslated version of Modiano’s novellas in “Suspended Sentences” is absolutely sublime as an audiobook.

Alberta is Canada’s Coal Country. In the 1980s coal supplied over 80% of Alberta’s energy. In 2015 it was still over half. #energysky

And last week:

Coal-fired power represented more than half of the Canadian province's fuel mix as recently as 2015.

EIA just released US Generation numbers for March and coal supplied 11.85% of the nation's power. This is a new record.

Last year we had 2 months in the 13.X%'s (April + May). And THAT was a record.

For reference, in March '14 coal supplied 41.12% of US Power.

The Vojany coal plant in Slovakia has definitely ended its production today marking the end of CO2-polluting electricity production in the country.

Anyone know to set language preferences for the pinned "Followed Feeds"?

I have my whole account locked to English but my F1 feed is >50% german/turkish/italian/idk, I cant tell/greek/arabic.

I dont doubt they are providing good coverage, but no point on clicking on something I cant read.

Great Formula E race this morning. Very last minute overtake for McLaren to steal the win from Jaguar.

Any other #F1 fans on here watch the São Paulo event?

In 2023 the US Coal Plants generated 153,622 Gigawatt-hours LESS than they did in 2022.

That's the equivalent of the annual consumption of about 1.5 million average US households.

So that's cool.

Did I really see that Mercedes were 1 and 2 in FP2? And Red Bull was SIXTH?????

I feel like I’m being pranked. Don’t get my hopes up that Max will lose you fickle and capricious F1 gods! #F1

So the Red Bull investigation is officially concluded. 100-page report has been submitted to Red Bull’s board in Austria.

They meet tomorrow to discuss it and a decision on Horner’s job should be announced within 48 hours. So pre-Bahrain.

Interesting times. #F1
