By the way, if you aren't using Home Assistant yet, now's a great time to start. You don't have to own the house you're in, you don't have to change any wiring, you don't have to do anything expensive. If you have any inexpensive old computers/laptops laying around, they're perfect for this. /cont'd

We’re entering one of the fastest-growing periods of electricity demand in over a decade. It’s not just data centers — it’s EVs, growing cities, and billions gaining access to power.

RMI’s analysis shows how to meet this growth cleanly and affordably.

RenewableUK EnergyPulse is now tracking over 𝟯,𝟬𝟬𝟬 energy storage projects across the UK – from early-stage developments to fully operational assets 🔋

I have just posted a new blog discussing AI and AI for Oracle Security - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #ukoug #ai #UKOUGDiscover25 #OracleCommunity #JoelKallmanDay #oracle #database #AI

A treemap of the electricity mix on the island of Ireland. There are eight fuel types: battery, pumped storage, biomass, hydro, solar, wind, gas, and waste-to-energy. Larger sources are annotated with the GWh and percentage of total generation that source comprised. Footnote reads: All-island figures. Excludes domestic solar. Source: EirGrid, SEMO

With strong winds and high imports, the island of Ireland saw more renewable generation than fossil fuels in September. Rare, and great when it happens: we estimate CO₂ emissions for the month hit an all-time low.

A screenshot of an X post with a black background and white text, featuring a "Being Liberal" logo in the top right corner. The post lists products launched by Donald Trump, including TrumpRX, Trump Gold Card, Trump Mobile, Trump Coin, and Trump Social/Truth Social. It also mentions upcoming projects: Trump Golf Resort in Qatar, Trump Plaza in Saudi Arabia, and Trump Tower in UAE. Additional claims include Melania having a crypto coin, Jared buying EA, and Trump accepting a $40M jet from Qatar. The post ends with a sarcastic remark about the Bushes and Clintons being the "swamp" and questions about grocery bills, salaries, and the feeling of getting poorer while the president and his family get richer.

And this is just a small sample of the scams and the grift!

A stacked area chart of the renewable electricity generation mix on the island of Ireland. There are seven fuel types: pumped storage, biomass, waste-to-energy, hydro, solar, wind, and gas. The y axis indicates the percentage of demand being met by each source. Footnote reads: All-island figures. Excludes domestic solar. Source: EirGrid, SEMO

It doesn't get much greener on the Irish grid: up to 6pm, renewable generation today has equalled 83.1% of electricity demand. Only a dozen or so prior days have done better. With lower weekend demand, there's a chance we'll see an all-time low for daily carbon emissions.

Trump claimed last week at the UN: “They [China] build them, but they have very few wind farms. So why is it that they build them and they send them all over the world, but they barely use them?”

The answer is: they actually do. China has more wind power than any other country in the world.

BREAKING: In response to today’s EPA proposed action weakening the rules to protect public health and welfare:

Everyone should watch this. I haven't seen anyone else in the U.S. laying this playbook out so clearly.

To the tens of thousands of dull chaps on Twatter who immediately blamed renewables for the Spanish and Portuguese blackout, you are wrong again.

As organic waste such as food scraps and yard clippings decomposes in landfills, it generates methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.

One way to slash emissions is to divert organic waste from landfills with composting programs: bit.ly/43ko06G

This is a screenshot from the remote monitoring of the #ProjectBo PV system at the Government Hospital neonatal unit in Bo, Sierra Leone. See that blue line? That's the batteries. Overnight 14-15th April, a long power cut. Only the minigrid kept the oxygen, heat & lights on!

YouTube video by Octopus Energy Octopus CEO explains zonal energy pricing

Scotland produces so much clean energy, yet Scots pay some of the highest bills globally.

Just yesterday, Britain wasted enough wind to power Scottish homes for 3 DAYS. It cost £7,504,366.

Zonal pricing could give Scotland some of the lowest bills in Europe: youtu.be/8-WUhBtB_CM
