Dutch engineers built a 600-meter long solar powered“vacuum cleaner” that collects plastic floating in the ocean. The green sea turtle is no longer endangered. Nuclear produces more energy than it consumes for the first time in history.

Ngl it happened back in 2022 but they finally figured out a way for nuclear power to produce more energy Than the laser ignition used to initiate it in a controlled nuclear fusion event. It’s only gotten more efficient since.

Oh nuclear fusion lol. That makes way more sense than just nuclear in general

But the fact that the world as a whole had renewables overtake coal in terms of energy production as of mid 2025 would probably have been a better fact to use

True! I did see that one. Also the drop in coal in India and China is big news, and how solar is replacing diesel generators in a lot of developing countries
