Forecasting short-term renewable power generation 🌞🌬️ at https://dexterenergy.ai | 🚲🚣‍♂️🏳️‍🌈🌱

Thanks to Ember for some unpublished data, I made this chart showing the massive shift away from gas-linked power prices in Spain, relative to the increasingly gas-reliant market in Italy

No wonder Italy wants to tackle high power prices!

From 100 to 10,000 in 15 years: that means that on average, approximately one #EV charging station (with two charging points) was built per day in #Amsterdam.

This is a nice tool by @hannahritchie.bsky.social (sadly not bridged).

It gives you energy comparisons for regular activities. If you remember that everything you do in a day adds up to about 125 KWh, you can see what the big expenses and the rounding errors are.

(spoiler: energy use is still the wrong thing to worry about around AI.)

Does that use a lot of energy?

Al jaren schrijven we kritisch over onze afhankelijkheid van Amerikaanse techbedrijven. En wij vinden: wie daarin geloofwaardig wil zijn, moet ook bereid zijn het zelf anders te doen. Daarom starten wij samen met Follow the Money een meerjarig project om die afhankelijkheid substantieel te verkleinen.

Timelapse of all vessels constructing Dogger Bank and Sofia wind farms during November and December last year 🚢⚡

This is a sneak peak at an updated set of visuals that I'm working on to show the construction of these ginormous offshore wind farms from open water to full power.

There's some really cool detail in the data that I'm excited to explore, such as the XOCEAN autonomous survey vessels diligently visiting each foundation of Dogger Bank B during the zoomed in part of the video.

Update: YouTube continues to be unaware of the concept of “bilingual people” and is still changing out Dutch video titles and audio with awful translations and dubs for me

AI driven development can create stuff, sometimes very good stuff, incredibly quickly, and this actually makes you want to go faster. It means that something you’d be proud to do in a day or two, you’re now annoyed that it takes 10 minutes. If you’d spend 2 hours checking and refining the 10 minutes of generation, you’d still be way, way ahead. But it’s hard to keep that discipline for long.

Gaining discipline over ourselves is probably going to be a bigger challenge than controlling the tools.
