SunCable to supply solar and storage to data centers by 2028
SunCable has confirmed its large-scale renewable and energy storage project in Australia’s Northern Territory could be operational before 2030, following a “pragmatic” reprioritization of initial plans.

From Clean Energy Review
In Edmonton’s Blatchford neighbourhood, a new “virtual power plant” is flipping the script on how communities use energy. Twenty (but soon-to-be 100) townhomes, each equipped with rooftop solar panels and energy storage, are not just powering themselves—they can feed the grid, manage peak demand, and even provide emergency backup when the lights go out. It’s a glimpse of what clean households could look like across Canada.

«an ineffectual "open source revolution" that maintains the status quo of our modern day hellscape by facilitating an upwards transfer of wealth and power, amassed by the hyperscalers who are now entering their final, fascistic form. Open source "won" by aiding and abetting the already dominant owner-class.»
Quite a long read, but the core issue of where FLOSS is failing feels about right to me.

Exact BPS double-kinks in generalized $ϕ^4$, $ϕ^6$ and sine-Gordon models
We consider a $(1+1)$-dimensional theory with a single real scalar field $ϕ$ whose kinematics is modified by a generalizing function $f(ϕ)$. After briefly reviewing its Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) structure, we focus on a particular $f(ϕ)$ to obtain analytic BPS double-kink solutions in three different models governed by the $ϕ^4$, $ϕ^6$, and sine-Gordon superpotentials. In all cases, the resulting double-kinks approach the boundaries by following an exponential decay, with the ge…

Analysis of bio-nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet with slip boundaries
A viscous, incompressible, micropolar bio-nanofluid flowing across a stretching sheet in three dimensions while being driven to convect several slip boundaries in the presence of a magnetic field was studied. With the assistance of the relevant transformations, a mathematical model is presented. The finite difference method numerically solves the converted non-linear ordinary differential equations. A comprehensive assessment was conducted to examine the impact of governing parameters on dimens…

Big news for the energy transition!
And a nice little 'told you so' moment for yours truly :)
In the first half of this year, renewables produced more electricity globally than coal, for the first time.
And 2025 is the date I predicted for this to happen, back in 2016, in a blog post for Ecofys! The score was 23%-40% at the time, with most of the renewables share still coming from hydro, and the prediction was less than obvious.
