JUST IN - Europe's largest "carbon capture facility," officially opens in the Netherlands, aiming to cut emissions by capturing and liquefying CO2, then transporting it to Norway, to store it 1.6 miles beneath the ​seabed.

If you are considering the global talent visa application, you should accept this help he is offering. He helped me review my application in 2022. He might not remember but thank you again.

[Slimfit @iSlimfit]

This is true! And I am saying this as someone who got the visa 5 years ago.

It’s not as easy as it used to be anymore as the bar is now significantly higher but trust me, you are capable of doing it if you work in Tech, Art, or Academia.

The next billion dollar company isn't in Silicon Valley...

It's in the Norwegian Fjords.

And it's quietly building energy grids to power the 2030s.

I've been watching it for 90 days - here's how early investors can make an absolute fortune:

Portugal shut down their last remaining coal fired power plant and is fostering a renewable energy revolution. They could be completely renewable by 2040 if not sooner. It can be done.

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

🚨 Do you understand what happened in the last 24 hours?

> Zuckerberg killed the Metaverse after burning $80 billion on cartoon avatars nobody used

> Sam Altman took $13 billion from Microsoft then sold OpenAI's cloud to Amazon for $50 billion.. Microsoft just found out they funded their own competition

> Anthropic made an AI that takes orders from your phone and does your work while you sleep..

> X dropped a dislike button AND a mute-entire-countries button in the same week..

> YouTube asking you to flag AI slop is just Google getting 2 billion people to train their next model for free

> 93% of US jobs can now be partly done by AI.. Same week companies started giving the weakest raises since 2008

> Apple started rejecting vibe-coded apps from the App Store

> xAI is paying Wall Street bankers $100/hour to teach Grok how to replace Wall Street bankers.. They're taking the money..

> A mystery AI model appeared on benchmarks beating everything.. Developers think DeepSeek is quietly testing their next weapon

> Bloomberg asked "Is the AI bubble about to burst" the same day Nvidia said the chip market will hit $1 trillion.. One of them is dead wrong..

> The UK government backed down on AI copyright after artists revolted.. First government to flinch

> The Fed said rate hikes are back on the table and blamed AI data centers for making inflation worse

And it's only Wednesday. See you tomorrow. It'll be worse.

Something remarkable just happened in Pakistan.
In only 8 months, citizens built the equivalent of half the country’s national electric grid, without waiting for government or utilities.

How?
☀️ Cheap solar panels
☀️ TikTok tutorials showing how to install them
☀️ Farmers leading the way, swapping diesel pumps for solar

The results:
✅ Diesel sales dropped 35% in one year
✅ Families slashed costs and gained energy independence
✅ National demand on the grid actually declined because of so much distributed generation

This isn’t just about Pakistan. It’s a glimpse of how fast the world can shift when technology gets cheap enough and people take energy into their own hands.

These are the kinds of numbers that change the world.

NEWS: Talen Energy announced a new 1,920 MW PPA with Amazon at Susquehanna, expanding from 960 MW total capacity in the original agreement (existing including 300 MW BTM and FERC rejected expansion to 480 MW). AWS aims for full delivery by 2032 through 2042. AMZN will keep 300 MW BTM in the interim and move to FTM after grid connection is established to reduce regulatory hurdles and transmission costs. Seems to imply low $80s-MWh relative to the ramp provided in the deck & 95% utilization This aligns with recent headline on Amazon's $20bn PA datacenter plans.
