www.victorianow.com New coal mine proposed for BC Rockies

A mining company wants to open a new coal mine in B.C.’s Rocky Mountains to extract, process and export coal in high demand by Asian steelmakers.

New coal mine proposed for BC Rockies

I've been to Elkford, BC. It's a beautiful place nestled in Elk Valley. Surrounded by the Rockies on all sides and many hours from any city, it's like being on a different planet. What I remember most was the enormous mines and equipment I drove past jut before entering Elkford.

Would be a shame to further destroy the Elk Valley wilderness with a new mine and the world with the coal extracted from it.

www.notebookcheck.net Chinese OEM unveils the world's longest onshore wind turbine blades

At 430 feet (131m), the SY1310A is the latest engineering feat from Sany Renewable Energy that sets the record for the world's longest wind turbine blades on land. The company intends to deploy the blades on its 15 MW turbines, which are set to be the most powerful onshore wind turbines around.

Chinese OEM unveils the world's longest onshore wind turbine blades

> Durability is the chief concern for wind turbines, and it becomes increasingly difficult with the size and scale of the blades. Courtesy of a thicker airfoil, a reinforced carbon fiber main beam and a metal mesh for lightning protection, Sany's SY310A blades are built to last. And although they aren't 100% recyclable, the trailing edge insert is made of recycled polyurethane structural parts that can be easily circulated after the lifespan of the turbine.

Microsoft Looks to Nuclear to Fuel AI Plans

> Data centers, the things that physically store and share applications and data, require an enormous amount of energy to run. These giant storage units, responsible for 1-1.5% of global electricity consumption, have traditionally relied on renewable sources like solar and wind but it seems as though renewable energy just won’t be able to keep up with the demand required moving forward.
