💸 How AI Data Centers Are Sending Your Power Bill Soaring

｢ Bloomberg analyzed this data in relation to data center locations, from DC Byte, and found that electricity now costs as much as 267% more for a single month than it did five years ago in areas located near significant data center activity ｣

“The UK’s national security is under severe threat from the climate crisis and the looming collapse of vital natural ecosystems, with food shortages and economic disaster potentially just years away, a powerful report by the UK’s intelligence chiefs is due to warn”

So naturally, its launch has been delayed and it seems likely it will be buried, never to see the light of day

A massive heat wave in the northern Pacific is causing record-breaking warm fall weather in Canada. Experts say the warm ocean is pushing the jet stream north, pulling warmer southern air into the country. Scientists link the increased frequency and intensity of these marine heat waves to climate change, and they expect a warmer-than-usual fall to continue.

My #fediforum #lcf2025 crossover is going to be chaotic for me but ultimately so cool. My first workshop session is the Climate Misinformation Fishbowl and Workshop.

It occurs to me that we need to grab on to the #Fediwall client and pretty it up (marketing wise, not necessarily UX) and start letting orgs and agencies open a view (“the fishbowl”) into their own curated fediverse.

I’m setting up a #climate and #sustainability focused wall to show off this next hour.

In a historic shift, renewables as well as nuclear overtook coal as the world's top electricity source in early 2025. Solar power drove this transition, meeting 83% of global demand growth and enabling developing nations like China and India to actually reduce fossil fuel use.

While developing countries lead the clean energy charge, developed nations like the US and EU are increasing reliance on coal and gas.

🌞 Solar leads EU electricity generation as renewables hit 54%

｢ Some countries are already nearly 100% renewable. Denmark led with an impressive 94.7% share of renewables in net electricity generated, followed by Latvia (93.4%), Austria (91.8%), Croatia (89.5%), and Portugal (85.6%). At the other end of the spectrum, Slovakia (19.9%), Malta (21.2%), and the Czech Republic (22.1%) lagged behind ｣

@jwildeboer shares the good news that EU greenhouse gas emissions are -37% below 1990 levels.

Then gets a thread full of Eeyores responding that it must be due to delocalisation of industry to China or something.

No man, it ain’t, and it can’t possibly be. It’s mostly the shift from coal power to renewables and nuclear, as well as some energy efficiency, for instance in buildings.
