Study: Energy-hungry data centres and air con wiping out climate gains made by renewables

Despite all the industry PR, just one more significant #nuclear accident / incident and it all becomes a very expensive stranded asset.

American culture from 1776 on was Black, was Indigenous, was Spanish, was Jewish, was Quaker, was a whole lot of different things which then often got together and made splendidly non-European things, and most of our music has an African mother.
We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.
There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.
Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

Trump's insatiable appetite for coal, oil, and gas is an active national security threat, example #335:
Russian attacks on coal and gas power plants have left Ukraine shivering during a brutal winter.
To cope, Ukraine is adding solar and wind power. While a single missile can cripple a coal plant, dozens may be needed to take out a wind farm.

How Ukraine Is Turning to Renewables to Keep Heat and Lights On
Russia continues to bomb Ukraine’s fossil-fueled power plants, leaving much of the nation shivering during a brutal winter. But Ukraine’s new emphasis on developing decentralized power — from solar panels to wind turbines — is advancing an unexpected green energy transition.

Another miserable year for nuclear power as renewables surge
Despite the hype from the nuclear industry and its boosters, the latest status report shows that its renaissance remains a mirage, and reactor numbers are falling.

Industrial heat is one of the hardest parts of the energy transition.
This sand battery is now delivering fossil-free heat for industry, storing renewable electricity as high-temperature heat and releasing it when needed. Simple idea, big impact.
