🇨🇳 CHINA BUILT A SOLAR EMPIRE ON THE ROOF... OF THE WORLD On the Tibetan Plateau, solar panels stretch farther than the eye can see - covering an area 7x the size of Manhattan. The Talatan Solar Park, plus wind and hydro, now powers everything from trains to AI data centers, while sheep still get to graze under the panels. Qinghai's clean energy is so cheap and efficient, it costs 40% less than coal, and helps China manufacture even more solar tech to sell worldwide. This is how China plans to win the future of energy: high-altitude, high-volume, and high stakes. Source: New York Timesshow more

🚨The energy crisis triggered by the Persian Gulf conflict... is accelerating the shift to a multipolar world. 🇷🇺🇨🇳Russia and China are building a parallel energy system less dependent on Western finance, shipping, and payments. This accelerates de-dollarization through energy trade in national currencies, energy economist Dr Kazi Sohag told Sputnik. 🔸China is becoming the Global South’s main guarantor of energy security through its dominance in green technologies — solar, batteries, EVs, grids, and storage. 🔸Via the Belt and Road Initiative, China offers complete turnkey solutions — hardware, financing, construction, and rapid deployment — at prices and scale the West cannot match. 🔸Amid global scarcity, Russian oil becomes far more attractive, strengthening their bargaining power with India, China, and other major buyers. This weakens Western sanctions as importers prioritize physical supply over compliance. 🔸The energy crisis exposed Western vulnerability to physical supply shocks and the limits of sanctions, proving that financial power alone cannot guarantee energy security. 🔸As a result, Russia strengthens its role as a key hydrocarbon supplier, while China accelerates its leadership in clean energy. Together, they are speeding up multipolarity by encouraging countries to diversify away from exclusive Western systems.show more

China just took AI infrastructure underwater. The country has... reportedly launched a wind-powered underwater data center near Shanghai, designed to cool AI servers using seawater instead of traditional cooling systems 🌊🤖 Around 2,000 servers are said to be sealed inside submarine-grade modules, helping reduce land use, water consumption, and cooling energy. The project is powered by offshore wind and built for AI workloads, big data, and large-scale computing. Why it matters? AI is creating massive demand for electricity, cooling, and infrastructure. If underwater data centers prove reliable, they could become a new way to scale AI while using less energy. But the challenge is huge: corrosion, maintenance, sea conditions, and long-term reliability still need to be proven.show more

🇮🇱Elbit Systems is developing an airborne high-power laser interception... system as the next generation of air defense following the Iron Beam. The system is planned to be installed on fighter aircraft or helicopters and will be able to intercept incoming missiles and drones outside Israel’s airspace. Compared with ground-based laser systems, it offers greater mobility and the ability to engage targets both above and below cloud cover. The core technology combines multiple fiber lasers into a single high-power laser source, while enabling stable airborne targeting and precise engagement. Its accuracy has been described as “hitting a coin from 10 kilometers away.” Israel aims to eventually establish a squadron of laser-equipped aircraft that could rapidly take off during large-scale attacks and use low-cost laser interceptions to neutralize large numbers of incoming threats. The capability is expected to gradually become operational within the next few years. source:show more

And to think we're closing down all our coal mines and power plants—which provided cheap and abundant energy—and replacing them with these expensive, inefficient and intermittent monstrosities, while China and India build coal plants like there's no tomorrow.show more

⚠️A POWERFUL Bomb Cyclone is set to slam Europe... on Thursday as it tracks through the English Channel, bringing Heavy Snow, Strong Wind, and Rain. 💨 Hurricane force Wind Gusts are possible along parts of the French coast, with wind gusts expected to exceed 70mph as the storm rapidly "bombs out". ❄️ On the back side of the storm, Heavy Snow and Blizzard Conditions could develop across parts of England, as cold air wraps in behind the system and winds absolutely CRANK. ⚠️ This is a high impact, fast moving storm, capable of producing major travel disruptions, power outages, and dangerous conditions across multiple countries. Normally, I stick to US Weather, but this will be a very impactful Storm for our European Brotheren so I thought it was worth covering. Heads up my European Brotherenshow more

russian drones and missiles targeted the electricity network, two... DTEK thermal power plants and key high-voltage substations. Damage to those substations has forced operators to reduce output at nuclear power plants, leading to a significant loss of available electricity in Ukraine. Although the energy system is operating at maximum capacity, the attacks have drastically reduced electricity supply. In Kyiv, residents have electricity for just 1.5 to 2 hours a day. Ukraine's energy workers need the help of our allies to strengthen air defences and send emergency energy equipment and mobile generators. #StandWithUkraineshow more
