Clean energy investment is facing headwinds. Could superannuation help?
By Romy Stephens

Australian super funds manage $4.5 trillion in retirement savings, but directing some of that war chest towards the clean energy transition could be more difficult than it seems.

Batteries charge ahead as data centres fuel gas turbine costs: CSIRO
By Daniel Mercer and Tim Leslie

Falling battery costs and a data centre-fuelled dash for gas have overturned decades of accepted wisdom: gas is no longer the cheapest way to meet peak power demand.

A popular science book for children explaining various sources of energy and how we can harness them from nature.

Some really fantastic full page drawings by Andrei Platonov

Why do airplanes fly?
What makes cars and trains run?
Why is electricity provided to our homes and to factories? Why do people eat? Indeed, why and what for?

In 2017, #MediumBloggers also pumped altcoins that went the way of the dodo.

Be careful with what you put out.

Also govts give permits to energy producers, so look at how the energy is produced.

#HydroEnergy is not entirely evil, also. Would you rather energy just be wasted?

A lot of the antiBitcoinHysteria has hallmarks of antiRussian and antiChina hysteria.

@rosano
These stats are false alarm. No context if even true.

#CambridgeUniversity debunked tropes like this. Also #bitcoin consumption is designed to go down post #BitcoinMaximalism, and changes based on total energy available.

Focus on where the energy is coming from, #renewables like hydro.

Anyone here against #hydroEnergy to secure an entire global finance system to replace the even-more-destructive, #growthObsession fueled by a #fiatCurrency system?

Didn't think so :)
