I wouldn't over-claim re China's emissions reduction.
The reduction is only 1% and still likely to change to an increase.
Moreover, "Many wind and solar power projects have been halted across multiple Chinese regions "after a shift to market pricing. …

The world's data centers already consume three times as much electricity as Dutch national consumption. And this is expected to grow to 8 times within five years.

£13.2bn fund to fix draughty homes and install heat pumps and solar panels.
Nothing else that I can see on reduction of energy demand.
And here is the money being wasted:
'£30bn in investment in nuclear power, about half on the Sizewell C reactor'
Small tidal schemes in the Mersey, Severn and other estuaries would give a better, and safer, approach to "always on" energy supply.

I got myself a portable solar panel, which I can use while camping and at home for charging power banks. I’m very impressed with how well it works, even on a cloudy day! The purpose of the panel is basically to power my power banks so I have green energy to charge my phone, tablet, headphones, USB lights, and electric toothbrush. It’s not much, but every bit helps to keep the bill lower.

It's funny how these old closed down coal power plants are coming back online since PJM won't allow crypto mining onto the electric grid. Solar farms are popping up all over (confused because they could do so much better in other places than where it's cloudier than Seattle), but they aren't allowed to connect because a national company forgot to obtain a permit by some hillbilly township with a population of 3.
Might be a shot in the dark, but is there anyone out there self-hosting Navidrome on a Raspberry Pi (or other device), and powering it using solar power?
