It looks like #india may experience issues with #electricity #supply due to low amounts of #coal #stocks https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/indias.. Interesting to say the least, this will cause some problems for sure.
Oh dear, the #eu #propose a #pricecap on non- #natural #gas #generated #electricity https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/eu.. I #suspect what we will see is that #energy #companies will rather #sell their #fuel to places willing to #pay more than they would get for #burning it. This #policy is #doomed to #fail .
There have been a few scares about #shelling in #ukraine against the #chernobyl #nuclear #reactor , but the lack of #electricity to the #cooling #system is by far the largest #risk so far: https://www.axios.com/ukraine-chernobyl-.. The #iaea have #claimed that there is no immediate #issue here, but they have just 48 hours of #diesel #generators and all of the #monitoring has been non-working during this time.
Very cool #fromscratch #electricity #generator with #handcrank https://hackaday.com/2021/12/01/3d-print.. Jealous!
Some weird shit going down in #china - people are going for long periods without #electricity https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/millio.. It's even having an effect on #foreign #manufacturing - supposedly one of the massive attractive to #china ! https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/top-ap.. Huh, turns out #unstable #governments are not #reliable ! Weird!
#aardvark raises a great point about #ev #batteries and #electricity #infrastructure - including in #nz which has a lot of #renewable #energy https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0812.s.. It just doesn't seem well thought out, I really suspect there will be massive implications.
Apparently the #police out in #malaysia used a #steamroller to crush #bitcoin #crypto #mining rigs: https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kv739/p.. They say that the devices had been stealing #electricity for their operations.
