My hatred of neoliberalism will never be pure because I love the postindustrial coffee shop aesthetic too much

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

The paperclippification of the energy industry. Every joule in service of making more capable models.

@Dan_Canoeth @ShanuMathew93 And 30% storage! And almost 30% for nuclear

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

This is the way. The models are extraordinary search engines. And they can do other things very well. But I never take seriously the actual text output.

China’s large-scale data centers have joined electricity spot trading as virtual power plants for the first time, marking a shift in how computing demand interacts with the grid, a report in an official media said https://t.co/d7sFVqUlne

[Alec Stapp @AlecStapp]

In Texas yesterday, solar provided >50% of the power to the grid for much of the day.

If solar is such a bad energy source, why is Texas investing so much in it?

They have the most competitive electricity marketplace in the country, and solar is winning more and more.

Little Free Library in Petworth is just three issues of Foreign Policy. DC is not a real town

Data centers “can” lower rates but that doesn’t mean they do lower rates

[Derrick Flakoll @dflakoll]

@MattZeitlin The explanation is probably the NDP (which both pushes for reforms and provides a useful left-wing foil), which is probably in turn a regionalism story. Quebec regionalism may also explain division of voters further right and left who might otherwise unite against the liberals.

Belgium plans to nationalize all the country's nuclear power reactors, and says that plans to decommission the plants are now "halted with immediate effect."
