You let someone in when you are speaking to someone who doesn't have English as a first language. (Annoying habit of an otherwise delightful colleague.)

But they're using renewables! a) they're not, they're all quietly pivoting to dedicated natural gas plants, built by their oil buddies, b) renewables should be used to power useful shit c) this makes it so that renewables don't displace fossil fuels, they just add to supply for increasing demand

We gotta start referring to data centers by both their mother and father's last names, Spain style. The Microsoft-Chevron data center, the Meta-ExxonMobil data center, and so forth. Absolutely no reason just the tech bros should be taking the heat on this shit

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

The €1bn spent on fossil fuel sinces April would have put 8kw battery & solar on 100,000 homes buying them energy freedom for 20+ years. The €1bn+ that will be spent over the next few months would bring that to 250,000 homes. What we lack is will and vision

Out for a run yesterday. Saw a guy in a car on his phone at a junction. He was still on it as he turned into the main road. His window was down so I called out "Put your phone away!" Got a thumbs up. Success?

I still think there is not a good awareness out there of just how much the AI industry plans to run off fossil fuels. This is a *conservative* estimate that excludes many planned projects. These are weak plans and they can be stopped. au.finance.yahoo.com/news/us-data...

Investing.com -- Data centers in the United States are projected to consume more natural gas than most countries within the next ten years, according to a new outlook from BloombergNEF.

Natural gas consumption for electricity generation at data centers is forecast to increase by 15 billion cubic feet per day in the decade ending in 2035, even when accounting for planned projects that may never be completed. This volume exceeds the current gas consumption of all nations except China, Russia, Iran and the United States, based on data from the US Energy Information Administration. The projection is more than double BloombergNEF's December forecast of 6.9 billion cubic feet per day.

I was going to say what an uninspired list it is that gives an awful indictment of where our priorities are. But actually it's a fitting audience for the rapist in chief and we can save the Sonia O'Sullivans and Brendan Gleesons for someone more worthy.

by the way you will hear talk of public transport needing to be ‘sustainable’ or ‘viable’. this is free-market neoliberalism speaking. public transport should be properly funded and to not do so at a time when we have billions in surpluses is a deliberate ideological choice

A County Sligo #painting now. "Benbulben I" is, as you might guess, the first time I painted the iconic Irish mountain. It's featured in a few more of my paintings since, but I suspect I'm not finished with this corner of the world yet. #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear #Scape

Landscape format in acrylics on canvas. Stand-alone long flatish steep sided mountain of green with its upper slopes being steeper and rocky rendered in warm greys and grey-greens with alternating shadow crevices of darker greys and greens, of which about a dozen snake down into the bright green lower slopes. Across the middle of the brighter stone sheer slopes is a strata of pale orange which is not visible in the shadow fissures. Sky is very pale uniform blue. Lower two-thirds of painting has a narrow orange horizontal band at the base of the mountain and the lower half of the painting is then an alizarin field with orange grasses, including a sizeable clump in the bottom left with long orange and red blades exploding in all directions. Signed in dark blue in the bottom right, Liam.

A reminder, again, that Ireland has *chosen* not to take regulatory action against this abuse factory, whose office sits in Fenian Street in Dublin. I think this failure to act in the face of clear knowledge is an unforgivable act.
