Germany reintroduces electric vehicle purchase incentives to boost EV market, making electric cars more affordable and supporting automotive industry transition #EVmarket #Sustainability

A new report says Generative AI is jeopardizing the energy transition, demanding far more computing power than earlier AI models, and increasingly turning to fossil fuels.To make matters worse, AI companies are burying the data on their true emissions and energy use, especially Big Tech’s three largest players, Google, Amazon and Microsoft.Here’s my latest story on the work of the Green Web Foundation and others to try to hold these hyperscalers to account.https://www.theenergymix.com/dirty-data-centre-edition-big-tech-burning-more-fossil-fuels-than-ever-to-power-ai/#AIdatacentres #AIDataCenters #technology #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #sustainability #AIhyperscalers

@ireneista @OrionKidder @koen_hufkens That's where it starts. "Oh, just a little vanilla", you tell yourself. But you can't stop. You need more. MORE. Eventually vanilla becomes normal. Bland. You need the harder stuff. Before you know it you're adding... cinnamon.

@WTL @TAV It‘s a great read, I forwarded the URL to some people!

The pattern is clear: Rome, Britain, and now Silicon Valley. Empires don't fall because they innovate too slowly, but because they hoard power and smother the local, messy resilience that kept them adaptable. Centralization is the seductive prelude to collapse, not the proof of strength. #History #Tech #Sustainability

@dianea So true.This is the reality people don't want to hear. Even in perfect industrial conditions, you’re only getting a 15% mix before the quality falls off a cliff.We aren't "recycling" plastic into new bottles. We are slowly downcycling it into a gooey, unusable blob until it eventually ends up in the dumpster anyway. It’s a delay tactic, not a solution.

@tokiel to some degree yes. With computers my limit is soldering and with new stuff when focused on laptops, unfortunatelly not. I’m on Mac and I hate how much they closed expandibility. Still lifecycle of their computers is longer than any other PC. but in general I try to repair my appliances. I like brands that allow that, come with clean spec or user friendly mechanics. Haier’s washing machine, Dyson’s vacuums they are already proven to me as example. I wish we came back to simpler tool+device combination to fix our own stuff with a bit o knowledge magic from the internet or AI more these days. Actually the second encouraged me very much to try to fix more myself all around. Not only electronics

Earlier: During the three years after the Inflation Reduction Act passed, #Texas developers invested some $62 billion in clean energy ventures statewide and announced billions more in planned construction. Now, much of that infrastructure is at risk. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-clean-energy-future-political-winds/#sustainability #energy #environment #politics #USpol #Trump #news
