Inside Climate News: Texas’ Risk of Summer Blackouts Reduced Thanks to Solar and Batteries insideclimatenews.org/news/2806202...

It may sound weird, but that's why I want buildings to be made mainly of clay, straw and wood, renewable materials. (Calm down, most buildings are already built, especially in the wrong places.)

Those stating that AI is doing good for the world: it's single-handedly derailing any headway we've made towards renewable energy and leading us faster into a catastrophe. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
