@green_bens let’s hope a #web3 #crypto #AI company doesn’t sweep in and buy the plant and reopen it just to power a bitcoin mine as happened in Australia 🤦♂️

@green_bens Sadly 'coal free' isn't the flex that journos think it is. Means little if it's just substituting petroleum or coal gas for solid coal.

@green_bens Interesting considering NZ PM #Luxon and his #NZPol fossil fuel enthusiasts constantly like to compare #NewZealand to #Ireland. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/26/new-zealand-resources-minister-shane-jones-mining-environment

@green_bens Uruguay is 99% renewables, carbon free. You can only buy EV cars in Etheopia, no gas cars. India has passed Germany as third largest installer of solar.

@green_bens That's good! Gas still has a large share though.
