because simplified Chinese characters borrowed many words directly from Japanese kanji, so google translate still recognizes it.

Meanwhile the world still building wind solar battery faster than ever...

Since android are not subject to the risk, I wonder what happens if one connects the computer with hot spot from android.

Edited: just found out in the original report hot spot was also mentioned as a mitigation technique.

I hear you can self host sth called photovoltaic on your rooftop to get it for free!

If you are serious with this relationship (or you expect to still have Chinese partners in the future), I strongly recommend you buy a separate device for all the Chinese spywares required to maintain communication with your partner(s). At some point you will have to enter China, and it is best that you take only this device with you into it then.

Why don't we store it and use it another time? Or we let other type of more meaning electricity demand do the load shifting?

Of course, if you are doing the computation for some vital services, it make sense to do VRE availability based demand side management as much as possible. But doing computation for some proof of work algorithm is basically computing for the sake of computing more, and I just cannot grasp the rationale behind it.

And this type of article reinforce the "too much renewable" myth. The problem is conventional power plants are still getting in the way and there is insufficient amount demand response and storage. The problem is not too much wind and solar.

And the article doesn't even mention renewables once... I mean, the technologies that are actually bringing down electricity prices and emissions

To triple the RE capacity by 2030, we need to double the current speed, or linearly increase the deployment speed until it reach 1.5TW/yr by 2030.

Ambitious but totally feasible.

Build stack interchange only in cities skylines, not in real world

I remembered vividly when some people predicting soaring high coal electricity generation would occur in Germany for 2023 back in April. Of course, those who had been studying the actual Energiewende for a while knew that would never be the case.

Interestingly, most of Germany import in 2023 was also from renewables. One could say that German coal has been beatened by growing renewables both at home and abroad.

Wasn't the moon landing a nasa scam to get more budget?

As for the ownership of wind energy, there were some famous cases of community owned wind projects in Germany and in Denmark, e.g. Wind Park Wiemersdorf and Middelgrunden (I just checked their website and they are still running quite well after more than 2 decades). The continual increase of single unit size has made community ownership less and less possible nowadays in these countries.

There are still some cases coming out, such as the proposal of a community windpark in Heidelburg and the one in NRW.

Recently other mechanisms are being proposed. In NRW a "citizen energy law" is being discussed so local residents near windparks might get discount in electricity or direct payments.
