It marks the first long-term, stable operation of the technology, putting China at the forefront of a global race to harness thorium – considered a safer and more abundant alternative to uranium – for nuclear power.

China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’
Team working on project reportedly achieves milestone by completing fuel reloading while experimental molten salt reactor was running.Stephen Chen (South China Morning Post)
I'm sure this puts me in a minority of one, but I really like seeing wind turbines. I don't think they ruin a view at all.
Look at these little bueties. Those are keeping the lights on.
They're a testament to human ingenuity. We've built a device that turns wind into electricity, and stood it up in the ocean a mile out to sea.
I don't think we appreciate how downright miraculous so much of the infrastructure around us is.
Every time I see wind turbines or a solar farm, it gives me a tiny bit more hope for the future, so I think they're gorgeous.

The results suggest that while the #IEA has accurately anticipated primary and final energy demand growth, it has historically overestimated the growth in #fossil #fuels and #nuclear #electricity generation and severely underestimated the growth in key #renewable #technologies including solar #photovoltaics and #wind #power, the latter occurring across scenarios.

• #WEO #energy scenarios have significantly underestimated #solar PV growth potential.
• Outlook and normative scenarios indicate bias for nuclear and against renewables.
• Power-to-X flexibility options exist in the #GEC model, though their use is limited.
• Increased #transparency of assumptions for key technologies is required.
• Exogenous limitations of key technologies may impede global energy transitions.

Excellent!
A Norwegian court has determined that crypto mining is not "industry", and therefore can be excluded in local zoning plans for industry.
Municipalities in Norway want to exclude them because of the huge energy demands and very few jobs created.
This is a good decision. These data centres are a massive waste of energy and resources.

Staten vant ankesak om reguleringsplan – kryptoutvinning er ikke «industri»
– Dette får åpenbart store konsekvenser langt ut over denne saken, sier kryptoutbyggernes prosessfullmektig, etter at staten onsdag fikk fullt medhold i at kommunen kan nekte etableringen av et kraftkrevende datasenter.Kjetil Kolsrud (Rett24)
We lost the world but we got AI!
Sure, we destroyed our #civilization because of the high #energy consumption and the excessive use of resources for #AI, but for a short time we were able to convert all the photos from our childhood into the Studio #Ghibli #style and were #happy about it.

“Klimaschutz trägt nach Ansicht von Experten des Instituts für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) in Kiel zur Sicherheit in Europa bei.
Der Analyse zufolge spült jeder Euro, den Europa weniger für Öl ausgibt, 13 Cent weniger in die russische Kriegskasse und nimmt so den Druck auf europäische Verteidigungsausgaben.”

A safe nuclear battery that could last a lifetime - American Chemical Society
Rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries typically last hours or days between charging. However, with repeated use, batteries degrade and need to be recharged more frequently.American Chemical Society
Hello Mastodon! I'm a power engineer who is trying out solo game development and on the way to release Power Network Tycoon - a game where you build and manage your own electrical grid with real physics simulation.
If you've ever wondered how power systems actually work (or why they fail), this might be your jam. I built it to be technically accurate while still being fun. To say it's been a challenge is an understatement

The Ukrainian president has made clear that exploiting his country’s precious geographical & #energy resources will be one way to rebuild its economy & cities after the eventual end of the war. But the offer tendered by #Trump’s Treasury Secy #ScottBessent, while being lauded by US officials as a generous ladder to prosperity for #Ukraine, is not really a “deal” at all.

This is looking like a real hackjob.

And then there's that battery "debug" profile. #Battery capacity goes down from 3080mAh to 1539mAh! Half! It says "debug" but I'm pretty sure it's not just "debug", it's the crippled profile.

So there's a bunch of noise going around a sneaky forced Google Pixel 4a update that seems to cripple batteries... and this is quite interesting. Old kernel: ``` Linux version 4.14.Treehouse Mastodon
