April 16 — G7 Renewable Energy Commitments

Every day, I ask ChatGPT to read the top 1000 trending news and post only the important ones. No junk news, ever: if nothing important happens, nothing gets posted.

Today we have 3 articles with a score over 6.5:

After removing duplicates and repeats, we’re left with one article:

G7 Pledges to Accelerate Phase Out of Fossil Fuels and Shift Towards Renewable Energy — Financial Times 

The G7 has agreed to accelerate the phase out of fossil fuels and to increase offshore wind capacity by 150 GW by 2030 and solar capacity to over 1 TW. The group also committed to achieving a fully or predominantly decarbonised power sector by 2035. However, the final communiqué failed to set a firm timeline for phasing out coal-fired power plants, due to opposition from Japan, which has increased its reliance on coal, natural gas and oil since the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011. The country has also pushed for the use of ammonia as a low-carbon energy source alongside gas or coal.

The news I often skip is about updates from the war in Ukraine. ChatGPT's training stopped before the war started, so I think it considers each piece of news as the start of the war. I'll see what I can do.

In other news, the website development is going very well; hopefully, I can share it next week.

Thanks for reading us and see you tomorrow,
