We need a lot more oversight over where these data centers end up. The noise pollution is something I hear about constantly from people who live nearby https://t.co/AAY0Gh3woV
I think most those projects are wishful thinking @acranberg But say they're valid. Europe lacks the ability to turn them into large-scale, reliable supply on the timelines and costs the current crisis & its aftermath demand.

We could just... stop. This is such a waste of resources, land, and nitrogen. Even if we still wanted to use this land for fuel, we should be planting perennial grasses that require no fertilizer or irrigation and can yield...
Landscapes are being littered with noisy data centres running on dirty energy, where no one works, and which enable the technology whose inventors either boast about putting millions of people out of work or threaten to wipe out humankind https://t.co/zBhxGMfAEk @matteo_wong
Robotic solar installation is quickly becoming real. Planted, Maximo and others all deploying automated construction platforms. This Maximo machine just installed 100 MW of solar power https://t.co/M1NSKOSVMT

Why is it so damn hard to do big things in America? Australia has 40% rooftop solar. We have 6%. We can build beautiful homes in a factory for $300k delivered. Local regs block it. The technology isn't the problem. We are. https://t.co/IBSjsr4eDl

AI Data Centers. Wood you look at that. Data centers are typically constructed primarily of steel and concrete—but as the AI data center wave accelerates, Meta and Microsoft are pivoting to build them with mass timber to help reach their...
The real breakthrough we need isn’t fusion. Europe needs to do 4 things at once: - Use less material per unit of prosperity (Negabarrels) - Electrify everything possible - Overbuild cheap energy - Treat supply chains like national security

Energy security, LNG flows, and rising power demand are back at the center of the global conversation — and for good reason. The challenge today is no longer just about having enough energy, but about building systems that are reliable, affordable,...
$3620/kW for a massive new gas power complex. Combined cycle power plants are apparently now are 3.5x more expensive than they were just a few years ago, even when building multiple at one site (with govt backing). Rethink the idea...
As the outbreak of a regional war disrupts global energy markets for the second time in four years, oil & gas importing countries will be motivated to find alternatives; coal, nuclear, renewables and EVs alike, as @bradplumer & Rebecca Elliott...

I completely understand why grid operators want datacenters to operate flexibly. BUT....their use of each MWh is very valuable (well, at least I hope it's valuable someday). So shouldn't we be looking for flexibility from less-valuable uses of electricity...

China's cleantech exports are surging. A couple observations: 1. All of this is from before the US invasion of Iran and current oil price spike. We should expect these numbers to keep growing, especially EVs. 2. US tariffs haven't stopped China's...
Moving Canada to 100% WindWaterSolar for all energy purposes (eliminating fossils+nuclear) requires only 0.19% of Canada's land, much less than used just for oil+gas wells in Alberta+BC alone and much less than the tar sands area. https://t.co/yt6XQ531Fu https://t.co/qST8Lj4LRX https://t.co/lwuOl8LGzW
Yup so many cheaper options to provide power for the 100-300 hours most at risk.

Load growth is your friend. If utilities use modern grid tech to push utilization from ~45% to 70%, more customers don't mean higher rates — they mean lower ones. We have the tools. They've been piloted. Time to deploy them. @EnergyEmpirePod https://t.co/nweWGf0b9o
