Trevor Noah is cool and all, but there are so many things wrong with this video: 😐

ENGIE cancels two gas plants in Texas (1.4 GW), citing supply chain constraints. ~10% of Texas Energy Fund capacity gone. Add Howard Energy's 325 MW withdrawal in January. Shows how challenging gas builds are - even with state support. #ERCOT
An 855-megawatt project, nearly 10% of the total capacity in the Texas Energy Fund, just withdrew, citing the impossibility of meeting statutory deadlines. It takes a long time to build gas plants. Solar, batteries, & demand side resources can be deployed quickly. #txlege
We're in an energy emergency. The quickest power plants to build and begin generating are solar, batteries, and wind. If you need more power in <5 yrs, these technologies are critical. #energytwitter
expecting 45-50 GW of renewables in 2025, if the current pace of renewable build and attrition of planned projects holds.
And total renewable capacity could overtake gas by as soon as 2027!!
@AlecStapp It might break the predatory model of these IT firms, but will also harm many genuine companies who are not in IT or Tech.
Minimum salary requirements overlook industry pay differences—tech, for example, often pays the highest.
A big question looms over generative AI: what really is its impact on the environment? I spent months investigating a single campus of Microsoft data centers in the Arizona desert - designated in part for OpenAI - in an attempt to find out. Thread. https://t.co/tY3jFyxCfy
@CarsRuinedCity@pushtheneedle I fell in love with Houston in spite of the current urban design. Can only dream how lovely it would be with such "developed" accessibility
