Dr. #MuhammadIttefaq interviews Dr. Mark Jacobson on #CleanEnergy

'Focus on solutions: Stop combustion & elecrtify everthing'

Despite more data centers and AI and EVs, in California and Nevada there was a 2% drop in grid electricity demand, mostly because of rooftop solar.

Đại biểu Quốc hội đề xuất: Nếu hoạt động xả lũ của thủy điện gây thiệt hại cho người dân thì phải được đền bù một cách xứng đáng. Cần rà soát toàn bộ các thủy điện nhỏ và vừa, buộc khắc phục nguyên nhân gây hậu quả xấu do xả lũ; trường hợp không khắc phục được thì nên dừng hoạt động.

In university I learned, that Germanys geographic potential for Pumped #hydropower is exhausted. Now I learn, that people use a cavern as a lower reservoir. Makes me wonder if there is more "hidden" potential.
