How can data centers and IT infrastructure help *balance* the grid while reducing carbon emissions and costs? We have some ideas.
IT service providers can enjoy lower cost and lower carbon operations by having more details on how, when and where to operate their data centres, says Julien Lavalley from Electricity Maps

Unbelievable oil companies are allowed to get away with this, especially while getting huge $ in govt subsidies
More than 2 million oil and gas wells sit unplugged in the U.S., many leaking contaminants into waterways, farmland and neighborhoods.
Time and time again, oil companies have walked away — leaving taxpayers to pay for cleanup. Here’s how.

Oil executive Tom Ragsdale walked away from his old wells, making the pollution left behind the state of New Mexico’s problem. His tactics, however, are ubiquitous in the industry.

While a dunkelflaute is rare, the data shows how quickly renewables bounce back. Here's how the German grid transformed:
Wind: 66.82% of demand
Carbon: 592→227 g/kWh
Price: €936→€13.96/MWh
Exports: 11.36GW
Hydro Storage: 2.78GW

A major dunkelflaute hit Europe at 5pm yesterday: wind & solar generation dropped while energy prices hit €936/MWh in Denmark/Germany. A reminder of the need for load shifting, diverse energy sources and storage solutions for the winter months.

Car tyres shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment – urgent action is needed
Tiny flakes of plastic, generated by the wear and tear of normal driving, eventually accumulate in the soil, in rivers and lakes, and even in our food.
