I'd say that is a very good indicator to limit or even ban the use of #AI for reasons of human survival as a species on this planet. The sooner, the better. 🤷

MPR News · Duluth wastewater plant captures methane to produce heat, powerBy Dan Kraker

The boat's domestic batteries are aging and need a bit of relief once the sun sets. Solar panels don't work by starlight. 🌞

The freezer has a couple of bottles of ice, to keep things chilled overnight, when the fridge dial gets adjusted from 2 to ½. One ice bottle moves to the fridge at night.

About once a week there's a forgotten thawing bottle of ice in the fridge all day instead of refreezing in the freezer.

Sorry, I feel like swearing on Easter.

G*damn Pacific Gas & Electric Co.!

They are running a big waste of money advertising campaign with "happy customers" praising PG&E for lower electricity costs.

A small temporary decrease after years of eye watering rate hikes, and even that is offset by a steeper rise in gas prices.

Obviously, this is totally not a huge for profit utility company teeing off a Trump "I did that, I'm the greatest" PR blurb....

Kenya boosts electricity access from 37% to 79% between 2013 and 2023.

Access has more than doubled in ten years, with urban areas reaching 100% coverage and nine million rural residents gaining connections.

One in five Kenyan households now uses off-grid solar systems, and renewable sources including geothermal, hydro, wind, and solar generate 90% of Kenya's electricity, positioning the nation to achieve universal access by 2030. #Kenya #Africa #electricity #renewables #solar #environment
