German court case about balcony photovoltaic installations by people renting homes. The largest German landlord Vonovia withdrew in a case against an Aachen resident. Landlords were making high demands for installations normally reserved for block level installations, while at the same time having no obligation to keep up the tech standard of the existing internal installations. Likely to work as precedent in other tiny scale photovoltaic projects across Germany

China’s capacity, which was one-third US levels in 2000 and more than two-and-a-half times US levels in 2024. Beijing is building so much solar, coal, and nuclear to make sure that no data center shall be in want. Though the US has done a superb job building data centers, it hasn’t prepared enough for other bottlenecks. Especially not as Trump’s dislike of wind turbines has removed this source of growth. Speaking of Trump’s whimsy, he has also been generous with selling close-to-leading chips to Beijing. That’s another reason that data centers might not represent a US advantage for long.
China is increasing power generation (renewables and nuclear) to a volume that supports compute and data centers. The US in comparison is not growing in generation. Interesting stats on generation here

Sea wind turbines create new habitats for marine life. Check some of the sources. The 'wolves changed the flow of the river in Yellowstone' mention is debatable, and using it as lead in here. raises some questions.

Val-de-Travers canton Neuchâtel, has a stretch of rail where solar panels are placed between the tracks. Pro is there's already electricity infrastructure in place, and doesn't require additional space. 5K km of track in CH, theoretically fit for 2.5M solar panels.
