I got this power adapter for my NES. It had the specs recommended for the NES according to some blog post I read. But I'm weirded out by dual cables coming out of the single adapter. I didn't know I was buying something with two cables. Is it a shock hazard if one is left unplugged?

“India’s power-sector emissions flat for two years due to clean-energy surge…
This is the first time in more than 50 years that there has been no growth in India’s coal power over a two-year period, even as electricity demand grew overall.”

Generac stock prices pops 20% on news the company has granted warrants for Amazon to purchase up to 1.69 million shares of Generac stock representing ~ 3% of outstanding shares.
The deal also has Generac supplying backup power generators for Amazon data centers, totaling $2.B with initial deliveries in 2027 and 2028. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/16/amazon-obtains-right-to-buy-up-to-340m-of-generac-boosting-stock-.html #Amazon #Generac #BackUpPower #DataCenters #AI #Investment #Power #ElectricGrid #Electricity
🌊 NEW: Engineers on an #island in #India’s #Lakshadweep #archipelago are building an #ocean thermal #energy conversion plant to harness temperature gradients between warm surface #water and cold deep #sea water.
The facility aims to generate #electricity and produce fresh drinking water around the clock, offering a sustainable alternative to costly imported #diesel for remote regions.

I've had an email from Octopus Energy telling me that because of dramatic falls in wholesale electricity prices, they sadly have no choice but to reluctantly reduce the price they are paying me for the electricity I export from my solar panels.
Weirdly, they seem very much to have the choice not to reduce the price of the electricity that they sell to me.
Isn't it funny how that works?

[ #Trump just doesn’t get it. I doubt he even knows that #DataCenters are causing #electricity bills to skyrocket for consumers. ]
“The only reason that communities throughout the U.S.A. should not want Data Centers is if they want to end up being backwards and poor,” Trump posted on his Truth Social site. “If they want to be successful & rich, with far lower taxes & jobs all over the place, let Data Reign.”

#US Is Pulling Back on #EnergyEfficiency Just as Prices Are Rising
Trump admin is undoing fuel-saving efforts even as war in Iran, data centers and heat waves are pushing up #gasoline and #electricity costs
Consumers end up using more electricity and burning more gas when electricity costs are rising faster than inflation and gasoline is $4. While more efficient cars or appliances can be more expensive, often save money because they use less energy

💁🏻♀️ NEW: ⚡🧲 #Cambridge #math professor Hannah Fry demonstrates how to build a simple electric #motor using a #battery, #copper wire, #magnets, and paper clips.
Winding wire into a coil creates an electromagnet that repels and attracts the magnet beneath, forcing the coil to spin.

”[Droughts worsened by climate change] exposed the vulnerability of Zambia and Zimbabwe’s hydropower-dependent electricity systems, triggering severe power shortages and renewing interest in coal.”
But:
“Thousands of households and businesses have installed rooftop solar systems to reduce dependence on the unreliable national grid.”

power usage is much less intuitive than you'd think.
a 1000w (2kw usage) microwave running for two 30 second runs to heat up food twice a day, could be fed with a single tiny 3-cell 33Wh powerbank (3x 3000mAh * 4v 18650 = 36Wh)
whereas the basic ~100w always active ventilation of the average (european) house/toilets will accumulate 2-3000Wh a day, about 5-7 big ebike batteries worth with each 36 cells (36* 3000mAh * 4v = 432Wh)

“When you compare that to the hundreds of millions of people who are struggling with rolling #blackouts, with #electricity curbs, #rationing, waiting in line for #food queues, or the disruption to #fertilizers & the potential impact that that has on food #prices, we don’t think that it’s a justifiable price for the rest of the world to be paying,” Galey added.

Although in a way this is greed for power ⚡ but I'm OK with that, I'd love to have these installed in my windows please

EMERGENCY: our solar panel connectors have corroded out and we need replacement
our power is now struggling and we cannot afford the maintenance cost (what we have instead of a power bill)
several parts of the array have been taken offline because of this
its corroded past the point of repair and needs replacement
if you want to help some struggling queer tech folk who are otherkin genderfucks

Before #2022, the engineers at #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZPNN) — the largest in #europe — weren't revving up for an #invasion . They knew what to do without #electricity and were prepped for natural #disasters but a full-on occupation of their plant? Not something they’d prepared for.
Fascinating overview of how rapidly electricity is displacing oil — in this case, on farms.
