Around 90% of renewables cheaper than fossil fuels worldwide, IRENA says
The twin sister of #DigitalSovereignty is #EnergySovereignty through #renewables and a more decentralised grid ;)
"Renewables are not only cost-competitive vis-a-vis fossil fuels but are advantageous by limiting dependence on international fuel markets and improving energy security. The business case for renewables is now stronger than ever."

I wish I could be so optimistic, with certain American countries, like the #US and #Brazil seemingly abandoning environmental policies with disregard to the future.
Despite the abrupt shift in federal energy policy, the tech sector continues to push solar power for AI data centers

When Albo said that Australia wanted to get into exporting renewables by developing the green steel industry I didn’t realise that China had been doing something similar for some time.

Near doubling in completed wind, solar and battery projects in the last financial year brought #renewables in Australia to a new record high, following a surge of completions in the latest quarter.

"The First Nations Seasonal Metrics vastly outperformed many of today’s leading forecasting models. Compared to an already strong baseline model, the First Nations data were 14.6 percent more accurate while reducing the error rate by 26.2 percent—less than half the error rate of existing forecasting programs."
More evidence showing that other forms of knowledge generation beyond Western science have value. So much potential for human progress is lost through a focus on one kind of science and one language (English).

Since 2016, three state-level projects have brought reliable power to 140 million in India, laying out more than 4,300 km of power lines and rolling out smart meters and digitised billing.
What's even more impressive is that this has happened even as India has reached its target of 50% clean power capacity way ahead of schedule: half of the country's 438 GW of installed electricity capacity now comes from renewables, hydro and nuclear, fulfilling its 2030 Paris pledge five years early. #India #energy #climate #renewables #hydro #nuclear #environment
