2026 N.L. Summer Games kick off with joyous opening ceremony
A hot summer sun in Corner Brook paled in comparison to the energy inside the Civic Centre on Saturday, as athletes from across Newfoundland and Labrador came together to mark the beginning of the 50th Newfoundland and Labrador Summer Games.

I just emailed my power company, Ecotricity, to express my annoyance at their cheerful introduction of a new AI chatbot assistant. Their whole shtick is about being fully renewable and climate positive (though of course they’re now part of one of the bigger power companies so we have to take that far less seriously than we once could). Energy-greedy AI does not sit well with that ethos.
I’m sure they won’t take much notice of my views, but maybe other customers will contact them too.

I asked an #AI model
If, in a hypothetical #universe, the speed of #light is not constant & #energy varies with 'c'
If we differentiate E=mc² twice with respect to c, what would be the consequences?
It said this would destroy the universal causal structure. Stars would collapse, & many other things would happen. No #physicist could explain these outcomes
Leaving hostility aside, AI is just a tool. It's up to you whether you use it for good or bad

In retrospect, it makes sense, but I really didn't expect the difference in the ratio of ATP to carbon to be multiple orders of magnitude between plants and animals.

Just heard an investor on Today say we shouldn't have a windfall tax on oil companies because it would deter investment in them. Isn't this exactly what we want, if it is a given that you are not a climate denier?

Multinational investment banks and foreign state wealth funds are cashing in on Scottish renewables.

Scotland could bring energy into public ownership, costing you exactly the same as it will to not do it.
