@ketanjoshi.co - I got an entirely different response. Has the @iea.org bot been censored? Or is it 'learning'?

In a direct protest against the @iea.org's plea to use the custom chatbot to explore this report, I am going to read the entire thing (all 304 pages) using my actual brain, and this thread will be where I dump reactions, thoughts, notes etc as I go through it www.iea.org/reports/ener...

When wind turbines were partially involved in a state-wide blackout in 2016 in South Australia that was primarily caused by a storm knocking out powerlines, it reshaped the country's energy politics for years. This? Absolute nothingburger. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

99 papers, 10 key aspects, 4 research directions—our review charts paths to embed energy justice in power system models. The energy future needs more than tech—it needs justice. Check out the paper #EnergyTransition #EnergyEquity #EnergyJustice #SDGs #EnergySky www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Reminder that when things are getting attacked it is not the moment to retreat, grow complacent, or to let fear consume your thoughts. The energy transition isn't just about technology; it’s about people & building a future where care & justice guide our choices. Together we can make lasting change.
