The photo shoot with PennEnvironment went great, and they posted a bunch of pictures (and nice words about me and the new book!). So if you're curious, you can see some sneak peek pictures from the making of our video promoting solar energy!

Looks like Google is next to clamor for nuclear power in the "AI" energy consumptions arms race. This, since it bears repeating, is to power a technology that *everyone hates*, both because it's shit and because Google has used it to (among other things) technologically enable the Israeli genocide on Palestinians.

(And because this always also bears repeating, "AI tools" consume the amount of energy they consume precisely because they are not actually artificial intelligences.)
