"To get on the path to #NetZero, we must rebuild most of the physical energy #infrastructure of this country. And we need to do it with unprecedented speed.
It took us about 150 years from the days of Edison,Tesla, and Westinghouse to build today’s #grid. Now we have to double the grid’s electricity generation, using only new, clean resources, in just three decades."

"[Dutch] #offshore #wind farms close to Borssele and Egmond aan Zee were powered down to a maximum of just two rotations per minute on May 13.

Globally, the movement to electrify every building and transition the #grid to cleaner #energy is underway. But it is extremely unorganized, and disorganization is a bad fit for such a large infrastructure system -- the natural gas #pipeline network.
With Climate and Community Project i propose that we think about nationalizing the gas system when the #utilities begin to sell their pipelines, and use ownership to implement a managed transition.

Biden’s got a plan for ramping up #energy #transmission

"The report warned that #NationalGrid was struggling to cope with the number of new #CleanEnergy projects applying to connect to the #grid, which have surged to 50 a month from 50 a year over the last decade leaving many projects with a 10 to 15-year wait to provide the #UK #energy system with clean electricity."

The US #DOE to allow designation of “National Interest Transmission Corridors (NIETS)” for rapid development of the required expansion of the power grid to allow clean renewable energy to be shared throughout the country. The Biden admin targets 2035 for zero emissions electricity.
400 MW of additional capacity to connect renewables to the distribution grid - flex as a suitable non-wires alternative, demonstrated by 🇬🇧 grid operator UK Power Networks (splitting into a 'wires company' and a legally separate system operator)
René Rindermann, CISO of E.ON shows the challenges caused by the energy transition.
I first learned of the grid-template-rows #CSS trick from a #YouTube video by Kevin Powell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_n4YONte5A
This works by transitioning a one-row #grid layout's height from 0fr to 1fr.
I used to use a max-height trick for the same effect. But this is better.
The way to fix this is simply to harden the #grid. We have to run our economy on #electricity, and the grid has to be resilient enough that it stays on even when the weather is bad. We have no other choice. Making everyone buy generators or batteries is a horrendous tax on the poor we can’t afford. #ElectrifyEverything #ClimateChange #Equity https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/06/business/energy-environment/backup-power-generators-climate-change.html

I have a DIV container. Inside that are a series of DIVS, one for title and one for form input.
The container is set to #css #grid and I'm using 2 cells per row.
I want to zebra stripe this, but also use @media to change to display:block and remove a border, so it will collapse and look pretty on phones.
Is this the best way to do this or am I being overly stupid?
A couple of years ago, #Yukon #Energy Corp wanted to build a gas power plant. That was turned down by the government for political reasons.
Inevitably, Yukon Energy needed to find other sources for #electricity. The Territory is the fastest growing part of Canada but not connected to the North American power #grid.
So they're renting more and more diesel generators. I doubt that's better than a gas power plant.
Where local change can bring #SystemChange:
"The theory of #bottlenecks could amount to a hopeful strategy for supercharging the fight against #ClimateChange."
Upgrading one crucial #interconnect can strengthen the entire #grid, for instance.
"The same logic can also be applied to #FossilFuel infrastructure, but in the opposite direction. One argument for protesting against oil and gas #pipelines is that they’re bottlenecks."

The #World’s Most Powerful #Tidal_Turbine’ starts to #Export #Power to the #Grid | A tidal turbine weighing 680 metric tons and dubbed “the world’s most powerful” has started grid-connected power generation at the European #Marine_Energy Centre in #Orkney, an #archipelago located north of mainland #Scotland.
The news marks another major step forward for the U.K.’s nascent marine energy sector.
In an announcement Wednesday, Scottish engineering firm Orbital Marine Power explained how its 2 megawatt O2 turbine had been anchored in a body of water called the Fall of Warness, with a subsea cable linking it to a local electricity network on land.
It’s expected that the turbine, which is 74 meters long, will “operate in the waters off Orkney for the next 15 years,” the company said, and have “the capacity to meet the annual electricity demand of around 2,000 UK homes.”

We can avoid this by switching to hydrogen powered vehicles. At some point, de-copperization will be necessary, and that means even the power grid will have to be scaled back in favor of less resource intensive and hydrogen supported microgrids.

For anyone who is making beats and has access to a Norns, the script Cyrene by 21echoes is really interesting.
It's a port of the Mutable Instruments Grids code, which auto-generates beat patterns. The author has added a new shuffle mode which takes normal drum machine (or human-played) shuffle to a whole different level. You can get some nice dragged-style beats and other unusual rhythms.
I made a DIY Norns a while back, and a matching Grid.

That also means that I'll be working on new chapters for the #css book instead of revising old ones.
And that means I have to continue with #grid Sigh ... I like grid, but it's such a HUGE topic.
On the positive side, if this chapter is done the entire layout part of the book will exist in some form.

"They found that #emissions can be significantly reduced if #researchers use #servers in specific geographic locations and at certain times of day. Emissions from training small #MachineLearning models can be reduced up to 80% if the training starts at times when more #renewable #electricity is available on the #grid, while emissions from large models can be reduced over 20% if the training work is paused when renewable electricity is scarce and restarted when it’s more plentiful."

What is the #EnergyPriceGuarantee?
#EnergyPrices are regulated in the UK by Ofgem which sets a cap two things:
Unit rate = price for each unit of #electricity and #gas.
Standing charge = how much you have to pay to be connected to the #grid.
The standing charge you have to pay even if you dont use any electricity or gas.
Ofgem announced a huge increase in the cap because - well, #Putin and #ukraine
The UK government intervened. They "capped" the cap.
Well, only the unit rate.

@SaraSoueidan Oh yes. The #flexbox charter has about 70 illustrations, the other layout chapters about 80 in total, with #grid not yet written.
Ich hab zwar mittlerweile mit der tollen Hilfe von @viviana den Fehler behoben, aber eigentlich ist das so wie es aufgebaut ist, keine gute Lösung.
Im Desktop-Layout sollte es so aussehen:
A1 B1
A2 B2
Wobei A2 und B2 am oberen Rand aligned sein sollen.
Im mobilen Layout soll es so aussehen und auch das #HTML in der Reihenfolge sein, damit Screenreader etwas sinnvolles ausgeben:
A1
A2
B1
B2
Kann man das irgendwie machen?

Over at The Fully Charged Show, the most common question we get about the arrival of electrified transport is "Can the grid cope?". I've been super-keen to cover the UK's National Grid for a couple of years and we FINALLY made it happen. So what's it like, this grid of metal connecting the whole country, and how will it change to prepare for mass uptake of electric vehicles? Have a look at what I found out in today's FC episode: https://youtu.be/HMIHAJfhJOU #FullyChargedShow #ElectricVehicles #Grid
Thanks to @pawelgrzybek for the heads up that the @webkit team have released #Safari TP (163) that now supports #CSS #grid Masonry by default. Sure is buggy, though.
Works nicely on the firefox nightly.
One of the harder parts about #css is it's accumulation over time. It's one thing to go in and architect the system yourself, it's another to be thrown into an existing project where the code has accrued over time.
I ripped out a bunch of #flexbox and related code and replaced it with #grid and the dang boxes are aligning side-by-side now.
One would think positioning in CSS should be simple/foundational - and it's definitely the latter but often not the former.
