We do not have much in common, you and I - still, this encounter feels special. I hope you will not mind if I consider you a friend.

Liz Upton is as skilled at hitting the PR lines that the British media like to hear as she is wholly useless at social media. Every sentence of hers in the Buzzfeed article is a greatest hits of the classics. A quick breakdown:

Yep. When I'm reading any article or tutorial and I notice that an image in it was AI generated, I am immediately doubtful of the validity and value of the rest of the content.

Ireland shuts last coal plant, becomes Europe’s 15th coal-free nation
Following wind’s rise to 37% of generation last year, the 915MW Moneypoint plant has just been switched off, ending four decades of Irish coal-fired electricity. The station will serve only as an emergency backup until 2029, underscoring how rapid renewables growth and grid reforms are wiping coal from one of Europe’s last hold-outs.

Ireland shuts last coal plant, becomes 15th coal-free country in Europe

Moneypoint in County Clare, Ireland, joins the ranks of other European nations exiting coal by shutting off power generation at its sole remaining coal plant. Industry observers say Ireland’s increased renewable energy generation in recent years, particularly in wind, has contributed to this milestone. Moneypoint now functions as a backup oil burner under emergency instruction, but it is no longer active in the wholesale electricity market.
