Ouch, #california in the #us are shutting down their last #nuclear #powerplant that supplies 9% of their #supply - despite currently having #frequent #blackouts https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/02/why-is-c.. This is an insane decision. #nuclear #fission is #carbonzero and ultra #reliable !
Apparently a #bitcoin #mining #operation got #caught trying to #steal #gas and creating a #secret #powerplant https://gizmodo.com/a-bitcoin-mining-ope.. A local #pub tried to tap into the #gas #supply where I used to live too - on a *live* gas main pipe! It's only because it happened literally directly outside our house that we were able to stop it. If it wasn't for the risk of #explosion , it would have been better to let them do it and then #report them.
Looks like #china are now fucking with the #uk too: https://bitterwinter.org/pro-ccp-false-p.. Imagine my surprise. They are likely pissed they lost out on a recent #nuclear #powerplant #deal and are likely not happy that we plan to start doing more #freedomofnavigation #exercises ... The 50 cent #army cannot be that effective though surely?
