@kaufman tell's us I made TikTok about the huge change in German policy to now support nuclear. It's really so important to know what type of nuclear plants are being proposed and how this major policy change will improve both economy and climate situations.

Today I learned that OpenAI spends tens of millions of dollars just from people saying “thank you” to their AI. And the energy use! To save Earth we must commit to being rude to AI. 🙃

Wind Farms do quite well in shallow waters(USA East Coast) where it's easy to anchor them to the bottom. In deep water it becomes more of a cost issue( USA Pacific Coast). I also saw a great many of them when I was approaching Taiwan's main airport.

Messing around with AI slopchurn for the linkedin... not too bad! “Fear is the mind-killer.” But so is false certainty. That quote is apropos reading RAND’s spicy (pun intended) post on decision-making under deep uncertainty—using Dune as a surprisingly apt metaphor. Just like Paul Atreides navigates shifting futures on the desert planet Arrakis, our job in water management is to steer through a landscape shaped by climate extremes, evolving regulations, and uncertain hydrology. At Met, we recently launched the implementation phase of our Climate Adaptation Master Plan for Water—an ambitious framework grounded not in prediction, but in adaptive management. The underlying protocols draw on robust decision-making (RDM), an approach developed by RAND researchers that flips the script from “predict and act” to “assess many futures and adapt accordingly.”

@kaufman brings us, "Amazon’s Climate Fund director explains the company’s strategy with investing in next-generation nuclear developer X-energy. Amazon is hoping its partnership with X-energy will deploy as much as 5 GW of SMR capacity by 2039. That first project in Washington state will be 320 megawatts initially, with plans to ultimately scale it to 960 MW." What are your thoughts on this data center power approach?

@ted For most people, there is no difference between proof of work and proof of stake. However, we know that PoW(BTC) requires over 95% of the energy requirement of PoS to endlessly race to solve the same irrelevant math problem. Once, the block is won, then all other computing energy is lost. This PoW environmental impact creating climate change is such an important social marketing point.

In 2025, if aliens came for dinner, they'd probably pass on eating humans. We're basically walking microplastic nuggets at this point. Bon appétit, Earthlings.

Once upon a time it seemed like nuclear waste was a bigger threat than climate change, so it made sense for environmentalists to be anti-nuclear. But now that climate change is 1,000,000x bigger of a threat, being anti-nuclear is hopelessly quaint. Now I’m only anti-nuclear while in character at 1980s themed costume parties. https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x78911a7b
