New metric shows renewables are 53% cheaper than nuclear power
A new metric for assessing total system costs puts a least-cost mix of offshore wind and solar at about €46 ($54.20)/MWh in a future climate-neutral energy system for Denmark. Researchers tell pv magazine that figure is less than half the equivalent cost of nuclear under the same conditions.

I seriously think the best way for the next US president to deal with Hegseth is to hand him over to the ICC to be prosecuted for war crimes.
And in case you haven’t read the “Hague Invasion Act” but want to bring it up anyway, it includes multiple caveats including the law self-destructing if the US chooses to join the ICC, but also it includes an exemption for POTUS to hand war criminals over to the ICC for prosecution.

It’s kind of amazing to me how every step of the way the countermeasures to Trump’s tariff insanity are more reasonable than what he’s doing, and whenever other countries seek to punish red states over blue states, it’s a sort of chef’s kiss to show they know we fucking hate this shit just as much as they do.
Bravo China, bravo Canada, and anyone else who takes that appeoach

When I was on Twitter I had >15k followers which sometimes felt like arguing with a wall, and Mastodon was almost refreshing in terms of having fewer followers and getting quality replies and engagement.
Lately I’ve been getting more reply guys who have a total meltdown when I reply to their replyguyism with a sentence of (somewhat snarky) 20 words or so which undermines their narrative. Suddenly I’m the one arguing in bad faith, clutch the pearls.
Uhh, you’re the one who replied to me?

@nprofile…cg79 there have been more protests under Trump 2.0 than any other time in my life.
It feels like they’re happening pretty much weekly now.
The 50501 protests were the first I’ve ever heard of happening in all 50 states at the same time.
They just get practically no media coverage, so people often aren’t aware they’re even happening.

CleanTechnica is reporting (not AFD, AFAICT) that the Tesla board has asked Elon Musk to step down.
Can't find another source to back up these claims yet, but if true, it sure seems like Elon is having a really, really bad day.

A new study says we've passed a critical climate tipping point:
The rate of natural sequestration of CO2 from the atmosphere by the terrestrial biosphere peaked in 2008. Atmospheric concentrations will rise more rapidly than previously, in proportion to annual CO2 emissions, as natural sequestration is now declining by 0.25% per year

Using border walls to keep out climate refugees turns out to be a very, very old idea.
4,300 years ago, in the midst of a 300 year drought which eventually destroyed the Akkadian Empire, the same doomed empire built a 110-mile wall between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to keep out the Amorites, who were attempting to migrate in order to survive.
