ITER, a $28 billion fusion reactor in France, has finally had its last magnetic coil installed. But the reactor itself won't fire up fully until 2039 at the earliest.

Google reveals 48% increase in greenhouse gas emissions from 2019, largely driven by data center energy demands

https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/google-reveals-48-increase-in-greenhouse-gas-emissions-from-2019-largely-driven-by-data-center-energy-demands

Google's carbon footprint jumped by 48% from 2019, amounting to 14.3 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions for 2023. According to the company's Environment Report 2024, 24% of its total emissions, or over 3.4 million tons, comes from market-based sources, i.e., purchased electricity.

Google plans to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030, and this massive increase looks like a major setback for the company. The company has been actively taking steps to hit this target, but despite its push to use carbon-free electricity sources for its offices and other facilities, data center growth has outmatched the supply of clean energy sources. Furthermore, some areas where Google operates, like in the Asia Pacific, rely more on non-carbon neutral energy sources, meaning the company is forced to purchase 'dirty' electricity while waiting for clean energy projects to come online.

Euro model is out and has changed the landfall trajectory significantly to the north.  This would be bad both from an intensity standpoint (longer time tracking through warm gulf waters could mean Cat3 instead of Cat1) plus bad news for Central Texas.  If this thing hits at Matagorda or further north, then we'll see pretty much zero rain out of it.  This model sucks.

MIDDLETOWN, Pa. (WHP) — Constellation Energy is reportedly in talks with Pennsylvania officials to fund a potential restart of its Three Mile Island power facility, according to Reuters.

Plus, a spokesperson for the company is telling CBS 21 they have determined it would be technically feasible to restart the unit, but they haven't made a decision yet.

In an exclusive with the outlet, sources said the conversation is "beyond preliminary," but features plans to revive part of the nuclear generation site, Unit 1, which was operating from 1974 to 2019. Unit 1 is separate from the one that meltdown down all those years ago.


The outlet said Constellation has spoken with the Governor's office and state lawmakers about the potential plan. CBS 21 has reached out to several lawmakers in the area who said they did not know anything about the reported conversations.
