The energy sector has a long tradition of standards. IEC standards are crucial, but implementing them in an open source project can be challenging. I'll present about this September 11 on #LFEnergySummit in Aachen, Germany https://lfenergysummiteu2025.sched.com/event/26J0P #OpenSource #OpenStandards #IEC #Energy

Figures like this one from Carbon Brief are what make me optimistic that our society is ALREADY on the path to being much greener.
This is the distribution of the fossil/non-fossil fuel mix for electricity for every half hour in a year in Britain, and it's absolutely clear that a HUGE shift away from fossil fuels is taking place.
Yes, there's lots more to do, but we are already making great progress. We just need more of the same.

China hit its 2030 renewables target in...2024.
To paraphrase The Economist, Solar PV = sun + sand + human imagination, and all 3 are infinite. This is a revolution, and it's beautiful to watch.

In drought conditions, helpful commenters chime in that coal or nuclear should be used to back up unreliable renewables like hydro.
Except for one wee detail, wonderful.

#Trump expressed his disdain for #WindPower during a meeting with his Cabinet recently, calling it an expensive form of #energy that “smart” countries
don’t use.
His comments contained false & misleading information about the use of wind power in the #UnitedStates & around the world, & came on the heels of an #ExecutiveOrder he signed Monday that would end subsidies around “#green” energy.

Solarpower has won, not because it is alternative or woke, but because of economy. And it will keep winning with still improving panels, becoming thinner and easy to use everywhere, battery technology is also still improving.

4 #radioactive #wasp nests have been discovered at a #SouthCarolina #nuclear facility, according to federal ofcls.
The first nest, which was found by workers at the Savannah River Site early last month, was recently disclosed in a report from the Dept of #Energy, which owns the site. The facility, near Aiken, SC, produced material for nuclear weapons throughout the Cold War.
3 additional nests have since been discovered at the site.
