Google spent so much money on AI that Alphabet's free cash flow was negative on revenue of $118bn, meaning it spent more than it brought in for the first time in the company's history as a public company. Meta's free cash was just $784m on $61bn of revenue, meaning it spent almost as much money as it made during the quarter. Meta's Reality Labs, which is responsible for its AI work, lost nearly $9bn in the first half of this year. #ai https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp87m4...

This timeline shows what happened, who was involved, and how the scandal unfolded from 2019 to today. #FirstEnergy #Ohio #Corruption #Climate #EnergyMastodon #EnergyTransition #Householder https://www.commoncause.org/ohio/resources/a-cycle-of-corruption-a-timeline-o...

CATL calls recently signed 60 GWh deal proof that it has “overcome the challenges of the entire sodium-ion battery mass production chain.” Industry observers are already calling it a potential “DeepSeek moment” for the global energy storage industry. #EnergyMastodon #EnergyTransition #Storage #SodiumIon #Climate https://electrek.co/2026/04/27/catl-sodium-ion-battery-60gwh-energy-storage-deal/

American Efficient & affiliated companies must pay about $1.1 billion for “one of the largest and most brazen frauds” in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s history. American Efficient violated the market rules of the PJM Interconnection and MISO by selling them energy efficiency resources that it didn’t control or that wouldn’t reduce load beyond what would have happened anyway. #EnergyMastodon #Corruption #Climate #EnergyTransition https://www.utilitydive.com/news/ferc-american-e...

Neither Duke Energy nor a utility lobbying group will say if they’re funding the “dark money” nonprofit working against public ownership of infrastructure. #EnergyMastodon #EnergyTransition #Climate #Tampa #DukeEnergy #Florida https://www.tampabay.com/news/2026/02/04/duke-energy-st-petersburg-clearwater-energy-alliance/?trk_msg=K9U034UDVUE4B5U2RQU8LVQ2CG&amp;trk_contact=T239UPHTR9077NMMVLMSDRD6M4&amp;trk_sid=R3OHO43FDOKAVI7BLIIVRQJ11G&amp;trk_link=92RRJUVP2UP47EM5CDI3NCS4PK&am...
