Wind and solar energy are scaling globally faster than any other electricty sources in human history. We are living in the middle of a vital profound technical revolution. www.linkedin.com/posts/gavinm...
Greenpeace estimates that top 1% by wealth are responsible for 40% of all “ownership”-based emissions – that is, emissions produced by businesses & associated with privately owned financial & physical assets – which themselves make up 60% of global carbon output www.theguardian.com/environment/...
We are staying for a few days at Mousehole village and harbour in Cornwall. This was the sunrise this morning from the house which is on the harbour edge- so beautiful.
Good to see transparent Science taking centre stage in Europe’s sustainable development. USA is moving away from this.
Other views of Mousehole village and harbour Cornwall. Mostly crab fisherfolk using the harbour.
The Fengning Pumped Storage Power Station in Hebei province — the world's largest pumped hydro facility, is a 3,600 MW underground powerhouse in the Yanshan mountains, with storage capacity that can stabilise electricity supply of both Beijing & surrounding region. www.linkedin.com/posts/winai-...
That is a very interesting post—thank you. However, in my view, the rate of growth in the electricity market has increased significantly, so that factor ought to be included in the calc. In short: this can easily be done using data from Ember (Energy Institute via Our World in Data)—see the PDF.
The moment AI systems become good enough to build better AI systems it could spark a terrifying process of rapid advance. According to Davidad Dalrymple, this is the moment “humans are just out of the loop entirely”.
When will that happen. “Some time in 2028,”

Solar and batteries are increasingly evolving from alternative energy technologies into core grid infrastructure, including in USA. www.linkedin.com/posts/gavinm...
We are having the hottest May Day since records began in UK peaking at 35degC in London today. We are 2degC hotter than the previous record. But the “Emily Brontë” roses and Abutillon are loving it!
