Tom’s Hardware: Open-source tool designed to throttle PC and server performance based on electricity pricing — lightweight CLI will automatically limit clocks during peak hours. “A robotics and machine learning engineer has developed a command-line interface tool that monitors power use from a smart plug and then tunes system performance based on electricity pricing. The simple program, […]

So, when we're selling electricity at negative values (that is to say we're paying for the American's to take it off of our hands) does the 25% apply and we top them up out of our treasury?

MY VLOG: 9 hospitals in KP illegally occupied! 19 hospitals outsourced| Inability to provide medical help
Hospitals in KP suffer from problems, lack of funding, organizational issues, lack of electricity, machines out of order due to lack of use. Illegal occupation by govt entities.

We had free #electricty today between 1300-1400. Here in the #UnitedKingdom, it’s a windy, sunny day, so, plenty of #renewables presumably pushed the wholesale price negative. I’m on a tariff that doesn’t go negative, but my half-hourly meter readings allow my supplier (#OctopusEnergy) to offer free energy. Trouble is, using in. My #SolarPV tops up my hot water, which was too hot for the #heatpump to kick in, so, I ran the oven to bake some #bread, cut the lawn, and boiled the ketlle. #Winning

Small wonder our fresh-water fish are declining.

@kaasbaas My parents are saying #joburg has been without #electricty all day?
@bassplayer @petergleick
It's like water rationing in #drought and private pools and golf courses no longer permitted to use water.
Private pools are fun for only a few people and don't serve a general purpose for the many. With scarce resources, such activities are the first to be culled.
#Bitcoin or #cryptocurrency and their #energy use is like water for private pools during a drought. They're useless activities but cost a LOT of energy.
Until everything and everywhere globally is running on emission-free renewables, such activities must pause. Yes, everywhere and everything. There are idiots who think if they run their mining on #electricty from a nearby hydro, they're home free. But that CO2-free electricity is stolen from activities that serve the many which continue to emit CO2 because of that narrow-minded, egotist idiot.

3 yr payback at this rate!
Here's a small index of #environmental altruism:
Although the current financial model of installing domestic #solarpanels requires a pretty long-term view of any 'return' partly due to low feed-in rates for surplus #electricty generated, partly due to the partial withdrawal of state support in the UK & partly due to installation costs, nevertheless people are increasingly (again) installing where the only short/medium term gain is the #greenenergy benefit itself.
Altruists, I salute you!
The lack of a proper UK #industrial strategy in one graph:
I think we can all agree that #batteries & associated #electricty storage technologies are part of the future of #green tech.
So what do the UK's plans look like for developing & building this vital #technology?
Frankly, piss-poor!
But that's what you get when your Govt. thinks the really important stuff is happening in the #culturewars!
People, if you are making serious efforts to save energy, make sure that you are taking meter readings and submitting them every month. Our actual gas usage for the last month is 13% of the usage estimated by the supplier.
