> The company aims to have the pre-production equipment needed to manufacture prototypes operational by the end of this (2025) year. Actual production is scheduled to begin in late…

Wind in practice. There's only few hours of sunlight in the winter during the day. There has been a surge of electric boiler buildup by district heating companies in the last few y…

Several cities in Finland have water based thermal batteries already, connected to local district heating networks. They have been previously used to store energy from existing com…

You can also build the datacenters somewhere where there is plenty of carbon free energy available. Google has just recently bought two plots in Northern Finland, near some serious…

I don't think Nordics will be needing much batteries, Norway and Sweden have so much hydropower that can absorb fluctuations in the power production and usage. But there still will…

Finnish energy company ST1 tried to make a deep heat district heating plant and drilled few over 6km deep wells. They wanted to connect the wells at the bottom but failed to get en…

TIL that networkd has built-in DHCP server. I don't think that this matters here, using networkd for client configuration shouldn't prevent using something else for server.

There's also https://junatkartalla.com/ which includes cargo trains.

Entire police force of Finland (~7300) is only about fifth of NYPD (~33000 officers), but they have over 10 times more drones, more than 330. https://poliisi.fi/en/unmanned-aerial-…

At least here in northern Finland you could already do that even with staff present. Everyone goes in with backpacks or bags and with self service there's no way to actually monito…

It's not uncommon in Nordics to have satellite libraries with mainly self service hours where there's no staff present but you need to swipe / scan your library card to get in.

Empty threats, Nordic unions would just block all the imports.

Consumers in Finland (and as far as I know, in other Nordics too) can get Nordpool spot priced electricity contracts, doesn't really get truly negative since you need to pay margin…

OL3 has a big one for grid support purposes: https://www.tvo.fi/en/index/news/pressreleasesstockexchanger...

Last year, 2000 MW of wind power was built, at the end of the year total power was 5200 MW. Olkiluoto 3 nuclear reactor was brought online, 1600MW. Solar power nearly doubled, from…

I live above latitude 65 degrees so auroras are quite common. Few years ago I had to deliberately go out and seek location without light pollution and watch auroras because I wasn'…

Is this some kind of Russian media operation? Few hours old substack account with no proof that it is even written by Seymour Hersh, tweeted by both Snowden and Matt Taibbi.

The bubble that knows about this ban so far is relatively small. Will it reach the advertisers at all? Edit: my bubble was too limited.

Why would Elon give any rationale?

Finland is currently transitioning to a system where employer must compensate for the time employee is restricted, and all previously agreed contracts must be either terminated bef…

We are going to have lot of intermittent energy production with wind and solar energy. This is a cheap way to convert that to continuous heat for industrial processes, instead of s…

Finland is having a boom, 70% increase in built wind power last year and 70% this year so far, and I checked the projects completed or completing this year. Most are Vestas and Nor…

No one is truly debating this anymore in Finland. People who have lived in ceded Karelia have mostly died.

Article says that powerplants in Finland have reduced power output, but as far as I can determine, that's just not true at all. Olkiluoto 1 had extra maintenance break recently bec…

Last 10 gigawatts of shut down reactors were all finished in 80's and probably had half of their design age left, all the really old were shut down already in nineties.
