Our top story, by Candice Bernd: A Texas Observer analysis found since 2021, at least 60 cryptomines have been developed or are under construction in at least 33 counties statewide. Experts worry our grid, and #water supply, can't handle the load. https://www.texasobserver.org/crypto-energy-grid-texas-bitcoin-water/

I'm one of the crazy people in France who don't heat his #home.

Just removes humidity. Can't afford heating, but I have all stuff to stay warm (clothing, etc)
It can go below 10°C

I know the techniques to sleep with -5°C : goose down #blanket, #wool hat, wool gloves, wool socks
And breath strongly at morning when dressing good clothes!

But in Gaza they don't have all this useful things now. It's an emergency to help them

KYIV POST:
Ukraine’s Bombardment of Russia – Not Just Oil Refineries, Warships Any More

Kyiv is messaging it wants blackouts across west and south Russia, and has launched dozens of drone strikes targeting the Russian power grid to start the process.

6 MILLION AMERICANS COULD HAVE A COLD WINTER

"#Carboncapture and storage is an expensive and ineffective technology that risks locking #Canadians into higher costs, stranded assets, and continued dependence on #fossilfuels. Meanwhile, the world is accelerating towards clean #energy and electrification."https://environmentaldefence.ca/2025/11/03/49-groups-urge-pm-mark-carney-to-reject-public-funding-for-pathways-ccs-project/

For me it's even worse, because i not only got that in the 90's, i also grew up in the 70's during the oil crisis. Speed limits were lowered to 55 mph to save gas, fuel efficiency standards were first introduced, President Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed on the White House roof and addressed the nation on TV about saving energy while wearing a sweater so the White House thermostat could be set lower in the winter, and all the schools had stickers on the light switches reminding you to turn the lights off when leaving a classroom empty. Energy conservation was huge when i was growing up. Now it's "go ahead and use enough electricity to power a house for a month so you can make a video of a three eyed cat playing a banjo"

#AI #energy

I am so jealous of #Australia's #RenewableEnergy transition, and am almost obsessively following developments and technology.

But I am still very confused by the concept of negative curtailment. If one has too much available #energy, rather than charging producers for absorbing it, wouldn't it be more useful to have standby ability to produce green hydrogen, or desalination of ocean water? What am I missing?

🚨#Gas companies are mugging us off. They're raking in high profits while our household bills go up, our pubs close down and our high streets hand on by a thread! I've had enough, haven't you? Let's make the UK Government reign in greedy gas for good! 🤬👇 https://act.gp/3JHKh8p

"The danger of #AI is not that it will achieve consciousness and hit the big red button. The end is much less flashy, far more stupid: The resource-intensive advertisement tools of AI will increasingly overtax the grid, leaving us to cook alive in sweltering darkness. The AI hype is part of a larger, false narrative justifying fossil fuel expansion. Let’s not get fooled."

Another new energy storage system rises up to prove that wind and solar deserve a line in the "American Energy Dominance" plan.

The Trump Administration Is Cutting Billions in Clean Energy Investments—But the Savings Are Overstated https://www.byteseu.com/1438991/ #Energy

I remember many people (mostly white folks) telling me that I'm crazy & have no idea what I was talking about - when I told them that while Global North kept ignoring opportunities for shifting to more #SolarPower & more #WindEnergy to move away from #FossilFuels as part of longterm #EnergyProducing plans/infrastructure, China was going to kick global ass with their full investments on wind & solar #AlternativeEnergy. I said that in 1996.

China became the world's leading installer of #photovoltaics in 2013. China surpassed Germany as the world's largest producer of photovoltaic energy in 2015 & became the first country to have over 100 GW of total installed photovoltaic capacity in 2017. As of 2024, Chinese firms are the industry leaders in almost all of the key parts of the solar industry supply chain, including polysilicon, silicon wafers, batteries & photovoltaic modules.

#WindPower remained China's 3rd largest source of #electricity at the end of 2021, accounting for 7.5% of total power generation.
China is forecast to have 1200 GW of combined #wind & #solar capacity by 2030 as part of the government's pledge to increase the share of non-fossil fuels in primary #energy consumption to around 25% by that year.

Both wind & solar energy industries in China have created thousands of sustainable jobs as well. They have boosted the Chinese economy from within.

https://www.europesays.com/2466485/ Trump is reviving large sales of coal from public lands. Will anyone want it? #Energy

@jwildeboer shares the good news that EU greenhouse gas emissions are -37% below 1990 levels.

Then gets a thread full of Eeyores responding that it must be due to delocalisation of industry to China or something.

No man, it ain’t, and it can’t possibly be. It’s mostly the shift from coal power to renewables and nuclear, as well as some energy efficiency, for instance in buildings.
