if you've had a shitty week, here's the fantastic news you needed:
solar is SO efficient now that nothing else really comes close. Solar farms like this- under which other countries plant crops that thrive in the controlled bright shade- are the easy future.
this makes me sleep okay at night 😌

Solar + storage is now $104 per MWh in Las Vegas or similar regions for nearly 100% clean firm power. There is no way new nuclear can compete with this. Even new gas plants will struggle and that is assuming access to cheap gas over the life-cycle of the plant, which is kind of a crazy gamble TBH.
Batteries are so cheap now, solar power doesn’t sleep
Batteries are now cheap enough to make 24/7 solar power affordable, unlocking round-the-clock clean energy in the world’s sunniest cities.

Artists are worth their weight in gold. If I had no soul I could have ground against the AI mill for *months* and not gotten something as spectacular & unique as @ambisweetiepie.bsky.social's Magica Riot cover.
You're paying for an artist's time, skill, and *creativity.* AI will never give you that
