$130 billion in #datacenter projects blocked by #protests so far this year
Winning fight against #AIDatacenters gives people a “taste of political power.”
Ashley Belanger – Jun 12, 2026
It’s clear that communities now have an effective playbook to block data center construction. This week, researchers flagged the first quarter of 2026 as producing the 'most blocked and delayed data center projects on record,' NBC News reported.
"#DataCenterWatch, a project from AI intelligence firm 10a Labs that tracks data center fights around the US, reported that protestors 'blocked or delayed at least 75 projects nationwide worth about $130 billion from January through March,' NBC News reported.
"That’s 'the most in a three-month period since the group began tracking in 2023,' and it shouldn’t be parsed as 'a cyclical spike,' the researchers said. Instead, there’s been a 'structural shift,' as 'communities have internalized an opposition playbook, legislative sessions introduced formal regulatory uncertainty, and the number of active opposition groups more than doubled to 833 across 49 states,' researchers said.
"The political momentum behind data center protests is expected to influence the upcoming midterm elections, with both parties increasingly sympathizing with resistance as opposition intensifies."

🎨💻 Oh, *CSS Studio* - because who needs efficiency when you can design by hand and leave the heavy lifting to your trusty digital minion? 🤖 Apparently, the future of web design is a hamster wheel powered by humans, with AI playing the role of nonchalant observer. 🙄

This is pretty humorous. I'm thinking a recumbent trike would have been a bit easier in some ways.

I'm a triple #Gemini who is #AuDHD and a bulldog for research on subjects of interest (or even other folks' interest). Come to me for #DoomGPT - #HumanPowered , #HumanIntelligence and allegedly good summaries. Am I better than #AI? You decide! 🤖 ⁉️ 🔎 🧐

@Asbestos If you want, I'll summarize:
"Handwriting activates certain parts of the brain which aids in memory and retention -- possibly by placing the person handwriting back into the original setting."

@autistics
So, quite a few of my teachers in college pointed out that I have a talent for taking complex concepts and summarizing them. Does that mean I'm an #NI (#NaturalIntelligence)? Lol! And it doesn't take a #NuclearPlant to power my brain! -

So, a friend of mine who lived #OffGrid in #Vermont had one of these set up. Definitely make sure you have secure connections and test everything (more than once)!
How to Build a #BicycleGenerator
By saullopez52
"The intention of this project is to build a straight forward #HumanPowered generator from a used bicycle and to use it to power light bulbs, blenders, cell phones, laptops, and other small appliances. This project will help one develop engineering skills while learning about a clean way of generating electricity.
"The project was created as part of Infrastructure Academy's environmental technology curriculum for high school students, so it is intended to be both achievable and affordable.
"Before continuing with the actual bicycle generator, one should understand how it works, and the components that make it up."

Photos from recent delivery runs.
To the greatest extent possible I do my work by human power, but there are limits to how much I can control.
This morning I made a delivery to someone who lives in a village in Drenthe so that delivery was made 100% by human power as I rode there and back in my velomobile.
Parts ordered by people who live thousands of km away are a different story. I can then only control the first few km. So I go as far by bike as I can and then those parcels continue their journeys by commercial shipping companies.
All shipping companies make green claims these days, and they make rather more grand claims than I do. But none of those claims amount to anything close to traveling by human power alone.

This has been an incredible series. So much mountain goodness and a rad approach to skiing.
Might need to binge watch them all again one day. Or better yet, go ski mountains.

Even parts of bikes are pretty...
A long overdue drivetrain refresh, coming ahead of a long overdue end to car-based work for now 🙌.
Cue up the next few thousand km of fun and hoping the cars are nice today 😊

Are there rapid prototyping devices for #HumanPowered #LowTech machines with gearing and stuff?
Someone (Hi Leo & Grace) asked about how I made my keychain. I just sewed it from pre-printed ribbon, but the thought sent me down a rabbit hole learning about different methods that can be used to make a ribbon or strap from thread/string.
Now I'm probably going to try some really simple band #weaving when I find the time (lol), and then explore to what extent it can be automated without building anything large or expensive. I'm thinking shuttle guides in the heddle and a crank to tap the shuttle back and forth, or something like that. For making pride ribbons, plain weave would be plenty for most of the flags.

Today's second utility ride was a 12 km round trip to the recycling centre with a heavy trailer loaded with the remains of a useless decorative plant. We now have a bit more space in our front garden for the far more useful apple tree to expand into.
Three speed hub gears are a fabulous invention for utility cycling.

Coucou les Mammouths ! Dans notre démarche de "changer de vie", nous faisons pas mal de recherches et tests sur l'électricité en autonomie. Je recherche des infos/guides sur la génération électrique depuis un vélo. Nous ne cherchons pas à alimenter une maison complète ! Juste les tel, les laptop et des lampes 5v.
Pour info, j'ai environs 30Kg de réserve énergétique autour des abdos. 😄
Merci pour vos retours, boost, etc !
