20 years ago almost all of New Mexico's electricity generation came from coal and gas. In April of this year, that share dropped to 31%. This was the lowest share ever recorded, as wind and solar surged to 69%. April 2006: 94% April 2016: 78% April 2026: 31%

kinda crazy that 100 years from now people will look at pics like these and think we were insane for letting anyone steer two-ton metal boxes at 85 mph

ERCOT is setting an all-time demand record today at 91 GW, which is +17 GW vs the summer peak in 2021. But over the same period, maximum solar output is +27 GW. Add in the massive battery buildout, and wholesale power prices are actually lower now than they were 5 years ago.

Why is AC so rare in much of Europe? Well, until recently it simply wasn't hot enough to need it. Here is the average number of days above 30C (86F) for major cities over time:

Before AI, cheating in school took so much effort that you basically ended up learning something by default.

Growing up in the 80s and 90s, I often couldn't understand what singers were singing (supposedly in English). Nirvana, etc. Thank god for liner notes. Not sure when that became a prerequisite for liking/disliking music.

Blink and you'll miss it. The EV revolution is taking off. 🚗 Even high growth rates provide small increases early on. Then it happens all of a sudden, all at once.

Being an adult is just saying stuff like, "Wow, I can't believe it's September already," and "Has it really been three years?" over and over until you die.

If you tell your friends you're burned out, they'll always prescribe the same thing: "You need to take a vacation". But it never works. Burnout is completely misunderstood. This new article by @bscholl is the best explanation I've seen.
