The Canadian government provided at least C$29.6 billion in financing to fossil fuel and petrochemical companies in 2024, with most of it directed toward the over-budget Trans Mountain pipeline, according to estimates from Environmental Defence Canada.

This is money that should have been used to encourage more #electrification, #microgrid expansion, #energyefficiency measures, etc. #fossilfools #pipelines

Ah yes, the magical world where deregulated energy markets are the superhero cape for solar adoption. 🌞🦸 Imagine a place where cutting red tape is the only thing standing between us and the sun's benevolent embrace, because nothing says "efficient energy" like letting #capitalism run wild. 🙄🔌

I'd want Nautilus (and thus the #GNOME file picker UI) to stop trying to search multiple times per second while I am not nearly done typing the search query, as I consider that to be extremely wasteful, conceptually. Pounding the CPU+GPU "faster than I can think & type" is counterproductive.

A little satisfaction of the last few months was replacing dozens of 20-year old fluorescent tubes with LED tubes and panels. It took some planning but the installation was very simple and the energy savings are substantial.

Majavan tila osk · Energy saving renovationsOne of the purposes of Majavan tila osk is to defend the commons from the climate crisis, by bringing Finland closer to carbon neutrality. We are happy to announce that we have managed to reduce our direct energy usage (electricity costs) by approximately 50 % with a small investment in energy saving. Our energy use As discussed previously, the main contributions to carbon emissions that we expect to help reduce are those from building construction and heating.
