In 2027, the second year of Trump's Middle East War,
we will need to recall how this all got started
So today…
—The worlds largest natural gas deposit was set on fire
—Trump demanded $200 billion more for his batshit war
—Serious talk of U.S. boots on the ground
—Netanyahu went full-bore End Days Expansionist for Evangelical extremists
—Gas over $5/gallon
Sleep well, everyone!

IMHO: the ad is just a little too low-budget amateur to graduate fully from 'massive cringe' (my overriding reaction lol) to socially disruptive 'parody' but OK, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt I guess?
Aside: what i take away from this is that car salespeople of all genders are incapable of not being creepy or cringy-af. lol

In our zero-emission future, biomethane or hydrogen could be the fuel, just like in big gas-fired power plants.

Gebruik de (urgente) borging van de leveringszekerheid van elektriciteit ook voor verminderen netcongestie en weerbaarheid bij conflicten/sabotage, betoogt een viertal energie-experts. Zij roepen op te kijken naar het verspreid opstellen van kleinschalige gasturbines en -motoren.

San Francisco's leaders say we need to act on #climate. So why does #MayorLurie propose gutting San Francisco Environment's climate team? Please tell the SF Supervisors not to do foolhardy cost-cutting - the climate work is URGENT. Here's an explainer and draft letter to send:

San Francisco could nullify its own Climate Action Plan!
The current 2-year City budget proposal mandates such drastic cuts to SF Environment Department (SFE) that 7.8 full-time-equivalent staff positions disappear in July: this is most of its climate program staff, with years of climate action expertise. At extreme risk: Planning, progress & oversight of green-house gas emissions reduction programs Building electrification programs like the Climate Equity Hub - which, partnering with CBOs, provides free electric appliances, education and outr…

When the EIB grants a €20B loan for AI infrastructure while its yearly budget is €100B, that effectively means one-fifth of its annual budget goes to AI infrastructure.
Public transport? Green energy? Social infrastructure? No. Instead, data centres operated by private consortia to potentially sell private services. I hope it will be at least to produce open-source models and software.

Let's consider combining security of supply (ensuring sufficient dispatchable power capacity) with relieving grid congestion and increasing resilience, we argue in @… today.
When we need more dispatchable power - likely by the early 2030s according to grid operator TenneT - it could be placed decentrally in the form of gas t…
