  1. Do you live in Austin?

    Did you know the Austin City Council is set to vote on allowing Austin Energy to deploy NEW natural gas power plants?

    Do you think that’s a terrible idea?

    Yeah, click here to tell them to vote NO

    The UK’s first deep geothermal plant in Cornwall now generates steady, 24/7 renewable power for roughly 10,000 homes using heat from deep underground and also yields lithium, showing geothermal’s potential in strengthening the UK’s electricity supply.

  3. #Renewables soar globally despite #US #climate pullback
    Trump admin’s reversal of #endangermentfinding was met with dismay by experts; White House argues policy raised energy costs for consumers. Elsewhere in world, green technology is being implemented at pace: Africa’s #solar capacity expanded 17% last year, with 20 nations setting import records, and data this week showed China’s emissions may already be falling thanks in large part to its huge outlay on #cleanpower.

  4. Weekly output: FCC independence, Starlink mobile-broadband ambitions, TAE + TMTG, best WiFi hotspots

    In addition to wrapping up my holiday shopping far later than I expected, this week saw me mostly finish migrating from Evernote to Obsidian after management at the note-taking app I’ve used since 2010 elected to impose a 92 percent rate increase.

    12/18/2025: FCC Scrambles to Edit Website After Chair Refuses to Say Agency Is Independent, PCMag

    Here we have yet another case of the 2025 version of FCC chair Brendan Carr taking a position on a tech-policy issue explicitly rejected by an earlier model year of this man. But this time around, the Trump-loyalist chairman made his heel turn even more obvious by apparently ordering up a hasty edit of the commission’s about-us page.

    12/19/2025: SpaceX Exec Tips ‘Real’ High-Speed Cellular Starlink, With 15K More Satellites, PCMag

    This story started with my attending a space-telecom conference in D.C. two Mondays ago, then I needed to educate myself much more about SpaceX’s ambitions for direct-to-device broadband from a future generation of Starlink satellites.

    12/19/2025: Trump’s Truth Social to Merge With Fusion Startup You’ve Probably Never Heard Of, PCMag

    Will the Trump family still be so enthusiastic about TAE Technologies if their backing somehow helps it finally commercialize fusion power generation and in so doing hammers the last nail into the coffin of the coal-fired power plants so beloved by our scientifically-illiterate president? (Answer: That question is probably irrelevant, because coal is already so uncompetitive that this administration’s fossil-fuel fetishists feel compelled to issue orders to keep obsolete coal plants online on a fake “emergency” basis.)

    12/19/2025: The Best Wi-Fi Hotspot, Wirecutter

    I updated the “What to look forward to” section of this guide–last updated almost a year ago–to note how AT&T has added two newer models to its lineup. One of them looks like an immense improvement over our previous pick from that carrier.

  7. How does the Clean Power Alliance’s credit rating affect you? As a joint-powers authority governed by two counties and 36 municipalities, CPA benefits from a great credit rating by financing clean-energy projects on more favorable terms – ultimately resulting in reduced costs for Thousand Oaks ratepayers.

    When it obtained an A- rating in 2023, the CPA estimated it would save around $20 million/year. It’s done such a good job with energy and fiscal management since then that Standard and Poors just upgraded that rating to A.

    One result of HR1, the federal tax bill enacted this past summer, is that the overall energy supply is likely to become dirtier and more expensive in the medium term, according to CPA CEO Ted Bardacke.

    Given that backdrop, it’s up to municipal governments to do all we can to ensure a ready supply of cleaner and less expensive energy.

  8. Canada's nuclear future is 🔥! With 17,800 MW of new capacity projected by 2050, nuclear energy is key to decarbonizing our grid. Let's build on the success of CANDU and power a cleaner tomorrow. 🌍⚡️

    I think it's all greenwashing and backed by BigOil.

    They'd love to see huge capital sunk into hydrogen infrastructure (as it is with power stations, petro-chemical industry, and transport systems) to lock in future demand for a product of which 99% is produced from fossil methane, and which can only go green once we have a significant excess of renewable electricity. That's something that is not going to happen for a long time if ever thanks to new renewable capacity being mostly incremental, and with so much being sucked up by data centres and AI.
