Yes, it’s just some colors. If you can’t handle a picture with some colors, you’ve got a problem.

The environmental movement asked the same thing for subsidized hydrogen production

Power use by the Washington/Oregon data center cluster was almost entirely covered by a local surplus of hydropower until a couple years ago. That might be why it looks different from elsewhere.

If you’re doing a massive load increase, build out emissions-free generation to match. Some mix of wind, solar, batteries, nuclear, and geothermal would do fine. Otherwise, don’t do the big load increase.

Don’t think I was born yet. But I did read The Great Thrist once

The Senate could of course do the right thing and refuse to confirm Kennedy or any of the people in his orbit. Not that I expect the Republicans who will be in the majority to do the right thing.

They do occasionally enforce the signal jamming laws. Do it with any regularity in a way that messes up police radio, and they will work to catch you.

I’m using Firefox with ublock origin and no problems. Maybe Voyager strips out the access token from the URL?

There’s a fairly small list of names it refuses. Almost all names are ok; the author’s is not.

Mostly because really messed up state on your device can keep Javascript from running.

It’s a gift link. You won’t hit the paywall during the next couple weeks unless at least one of the following is true:

• You’ve disabled javascript
• You’re running a browser extension which strips off the access token (you may also see this problem if you’re accessing the post via mastodon instead of lemmy)
• your device desperately needs a reboot

California has a long history of barring registration of vehicles which do not meet its pollution standards. You’d need to not just buy out of states but fraudulently register it as if you resided in another state. Billionaires do this with eigth homes for their personal race cars, but basically nobody else does.

Yeah, inland areas transition to a thermokarst landscape, while places next to the ocean can just disappear entirely.

No type of source control helps when the people who control access are giving it to people who shouldn’t have it. Think of it as the github workspace admin giving out accounts to malicious individuals.

It’s not “I sent it as a pdf” but “I gave edit access to the master copy to somebody who shouldn’t have had it”

They care enough to do things like buy properties in cooler countries so they can move to them after making Saudi Arabia uninhabitable.

I’ve tended not to link to them because they’re deep in the woods of “get fossil fuels companies as the main sponsors of our climate reporting” — to the point that the first person they hired to do a climate newsletter resigned over it.

It’s a gift link; few people need that.

The existing large-scale batteries are largely lithium. There are a bunch of iron-chemistry ones and sodium-ion ones which have been deployed over the past year, with factories going up to scale them up. I’m not expecting to be limited by lithium availability for stationary batteries.

They’re talking about 5+ years on the new nuclear in these. And they haven’t done it before, so a 30% deadline slip is realistic.

You can put up a lot of wind and solar in that time.
