To reduce Nunavut’s dependency on diesel fuel, researchers are trying to use the territory’s gusty weather to develop a wind turbine specifically to generate power for Arctic buildings. “I think it is a really viable [energy] option,” said Jill Hass, an engineer and clean energy manager with Polar Knowledge Canada, the...
> Nvidia's Blackwell cluster, which will come with eight GPUs, pulls down 15kW of power. That's 15,000 watts of power. Divided by eight, that's 1,875 watts per GPU.
What? A house consumes 400W/hour most of the time. Blackwell consumes 37.5 times MORE than a house!
Put another way: you can either power Blackwell for 1 hour, or your house for… 1.5 DAY.
Indigenous peoples have been steadily warning about the impacts of renewable energy development on their lands and communities, but some see a way to harness this trend for the positive.
Experts say Indigenous communities can play a leading role in the clean energy transition through partnerships that allow them to produce and benefit from renewable energy projects.
"As the market and its regulators navigate the turbulence of an #energy system transitioning from fossil fuels to #renewables, experts warn surges [in the spot price] are likely to become more common. The ageing #coal-fired power station fleet is becoming less reliable, and with the development of large-scale renewables and storage lagging, the potential gap between demand and supply is getting larger."
A rare moment when a video title is not clickbait. Great report from DW Planet A on energy system inefficiencies. I've wonder whether talking more about efficiency and waste to climate skeptics might bring them on board with green policies. Personally, I don't care how we do it, as long as we get to the same end result of a more sustainable world.
Ahh, the great Labour bullshit about what it can do for Scotland begins. Only Labour can bring these jobs to Scotland. Of course, for as long as is important, Scotland has been an energy exporter. These jobs are not to provide power for Scotland per se, but London.
Frankly, Scotland could nationalise it's energy market, give free energy to its citizens, and still probably profit on exports to the South.
@HornedLivestock Look at it as a threat ‘While we take your energy, enable fuel poverty in the least able, coldest parts of Scotland as is our right, don't forget we can take much more away as well’.
"While belief in #ClimateChange has waned a bit nationally, 90% of Floridians still believe it’s real, according to a recent survey by #Florida Atlantic University.
Most Floridians — nearly 70% — want both the state and federal governments to do more to address climate change, the study found."
A Republican pollster asked #Florida voters about energy. The results surprised him
"Floridians of both political parties are overwhelmingly concerned about the #cost of #energy in the state and Florida’s heavy reliance on natural gas as a source of electricity, according to a poll by a Republican strategy firm. It also found that environmental issues will factor into voters’ decisions in the 2024 election.
