BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

Happy 76th birthday to the legendary Stevie Wonder.

More than 29 million gallons of unbilled water flowed to Quality Technology Services’ data center campus under development in Fayetteville, Georgia, after two industrial-scale hookups went unaccounted for. ground.news/article/data...

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

Dog learning the spatula trick....

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

State supreme court justices play a critical role in defending your rights and freedoms, which is why the election happening in Georgia right now is so important. Make sure you have a plan to vote for Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin.

According to PBS, Dump has paid up to $2 billion to cancel offshore wind farms on both coasts. He actually spent taxpayer money to shelve economically viable private company projects which would have provided electricity to Americans at a fraction of the current average price

James Comey has been keeping busy waiting for his upcoming trial.

Rudy's dying wish is reportedly for the WH Ballroom to be completed... "Sir, get'er done"

#Spain receives more sunshine than any country in Europe — and it is building the solar infrastructure that geography always promised. Extremadura, Andalusia, and Castilla-La Mancha became the center where Spain added new solar capacity, racing toward its target of 74% renewable electricity by 2030

On a more fun note we have an extra #AT40 LDD today, this time shout out to Regis. Found my old video of my few seconds on national tv in 2000, as contestant on prime time Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Didn’t make it to hot seat but still a helluva lot of fun

For today’s #AT40, an LDD to my mom, who would have been 93 today after she passed in Jan. Below pic is from mid to late 60s, when I would have probably been 8 or 9. Love you Mom

France passed a law in 2022 requiring car parks to install #solar. * Applies if ≥80 spaces * Must cover at least 50% of area * Exemptions (grid constraints, heritage sites) We did it with disabled spaces why not solar? There are obstacles but none are strong enough to justify not doing it at all!

Got up early in hopes of catching this photo before work this morning. There's only a few days each year where it's cool enough in the morning to make this shot possible. Thankfully, today was one of those days! #wildlife #birds

Unbelievable! The admin. is paying $885 million in taxpayer money to energy companies to stop their offshore wind farm projects and redirect the funds directly into oil & gas. This follows the same pattern as last month's deal with TotalEnergies. That's our tax dollars at work. For the polluters.

78th Birthday and still a stage goddess Happy Birthday to the amazing Kate Pierson, one of the lead singers and founding members of the B-52s, born today in 1948. #punk #punkrock #newwave #katepierson #theb52s #history #otd

And speaking of high school, feeling particularly Paleozoic today as I officially became a “Golden Lion” this weekend. 50th HS reunion tonight 😳 #AT40

Spring 74 means time for Mod Squad Mark to infiltrate the HS sophomore halls in search of illicit activities such as Smoking in the Boys Room #AT40

Here’s good one for you. 🤦🏻‍♀️ bsky.app/profile/lbc....

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

Martina Navratilova said it best: "A photo is worth a thousand words." Trump "honored" the Georgia women's tennis team at the White House, then made sure you could barely see them in the photo.

Even in the midst of dark times, hearing the intro guitar riff of the magnificent What Is Life instantly puts me in a happy mood. Greatest ten seconds of pop music #AT40

Apr 71 #AT40 meant our seventh grade trip up to DC, starting with this all night train ride (not in pic myself). Can’t recall what our first site was the next day but sure we were all zombies as there was zero sleep involved for anyone. Teachers must have been somewhere but they probably gave up.

RIP Don Schlitz, Grammy winning songwriter with over 20 number one country hits to his credit for Kenny Rogers, Alabama, Reba, Randy Travis, Tanya Tucker and others—including most of the biggest hits by the fantastic Mary Chapin Carpenter, one of my all time favorites #AT40

Fall 76. Off to college, where the smoky dorm hallways were filled with the sounds of Boston, Heart, Blue Oyster Cult, Starship, Boz Scaggs, Springsteen, Aerosmith. #AT40

Amazing — Candace caught Fox trying to make JD Vance & TP USA’s event look less empty with fake footage…

“Trump’s enablers will be remembered for hiding the dementia, crimes and treason of the worst parasite in US history.”

Repost from Mayra There were more protesters outside the Turning Point rally in Athens GA than event attendees.

Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, the United States had spent that money helping the people of the United States

In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.

NYT reporting that under this ceasefire each ship will pay $2M to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It was $0 before Trump launched this illegal war. 100-130 ships pass the Strait daily. Trump just gave Iran an extra $100M-$130M per day. Masterful gambit, sir. Impeach and remove this fascist—NOW.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️
