perhaps China was planing 150 nuke plants because of the coal shortage?

In part, yes, they want to have energy from a lot of sources, including of course coal.  They import a lot of coal now, that isn't desirable for them.

But they will end up with a higher CO2 emissions track with 150 new nukes of course.

The World Bank has been working on developing a concept called the Climate Warehouse, which is basically using blockchain to allow individual countries to put their own carbon registry data into a decentralized, trusted, and immutable system. 

Explained in this video: https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/video/2019/12/02/the-world-bank-group-climate-warehouse


Some of you may be familiar with the cryptocurrency, Chia. Most probably not because you're not in the HDD industry like me lol. 

Chia is working with the World Bank on this and it was just announced, to be the underlying blockchain supporting this initiative.

Breaking - Fusion Recedes Into Far Future For The 57th Time (cleantechnica.com)

I saw some piece on CBS complaining about how little progress was made at the latest conference.

DUH.

Really annoyed by the weather right now. Two days in a row, in November, in the 90 degree range. 

And a high of 88 predicted on Sunday when I play golf. At least we tee off at 8:00 AM, so it shouldn't get toasty until the back nine.

"By 2030 in the United States, we won’t have coal," Kerry told Bloomberg editor-in-chief John Micklethwait during an interview at the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow. "We will not have coal plants."





I do not believe this at all.
