📢 EGEC forecasts resurgence in deployment of geothermal energy solutions across Europe 📈

The 2024 edition of the EGEC Geothermal Market Report points to a significant increase in geothermal deployment starting in 2025.

Key highlights:
🔶 3 new geothermal power plants commissioned in 2024
🔶 10 new district heating & cooling systems launched
🔶 500+ GeoDHC projects in development
🔶 Drop in heat pump sales, but policy changes may reverse the trend
🔶 Record number of exploration campaigns and sharp rise in drilling expected in 2025

Everyone says Europe can't compete with America in tech.

But Mistral's 'Le Chat' just proved them wrong:

• 13x faster than ChatGPT
• 100% open-source
• Completely free (vs $20/month)

The European AI breakthrough Silicon Valley didn't see coming 🧵:

@DaveKeating Good new on the EU's 68th Birthday!🎂

[Dave Keating @DaveKeating]

Europeans' belief in the importance of the EU has surged to record levels, according to a survey released yesterday.

74% now say their country benefits from being in 🇪🇺 - up from 50% in 2010. And the biggest reason is about security, *not* the economy.

I think we are heading somewhere where engineers no longer need to code. And heading fast. Much faster than I would ever think
