Projections by industry group the China Electricity Council showing that 80GW of coal could be commissioned for the full year would make 2025 the biggest year for new coal power capacity additions in a decade, the CREA report said.

New approvals of coal power projects in the first half of the year, however, fell slightly from recent years, to 25GW.

"The core tension of 2025 is increasingly evident: coal's share in power generation has fallen to record lows, yet new coal power capacity additions are on track to reach decade highs," the researchers wrote.

There's the Wikimedia Endowment and there's the Operating Reservers. I was a bit generous on the overall quantities, but the former, the endowment, is about 300M. The Operating Reserves, though are around a billion. So it's over a billion between the two, but not the "billions upon billions" that I'd previously stated.

It all comes down to seeing AI for what it is: a tool. I used it in a case where i couldnâ(TM)t find representation. I didnâ(TM)t take its draft as factual. I looked at what it produced and found a case that had nothing to do with mine that it sited. I then made it correct itself, and then run through every case and statute again. I did several rounds of this. I then made it prove its case as correctly scribed and give multiple rounds of back and forth between how it expected the case would play out. When the hearing came, it was clear the defendantâ(TM)s attorney wasnâ(TM)t expecting what he was facing against a pro bono. He had to request a continuance to get his act together in what he thought was going to be an easy win. Note that in my case, because of studying pre-law, I had enough background to have a clue about this. Make sure you do too if you do this.

Adding on, it is NOT society's responsibility to adapt to people's mental illness's. It is up to the person suffering from them to outgrow them. That's what it is: a growth process. Casual conversations, light teasing provide solid hints to people with them as to how to outgrow them, and this already happens all of the time. Hanging out with people who don't have the same mental illness helps a lot. Realizing that light teasing isn't meant to be abusive, rather is meant to be a lighthearted hint, is also on the person with the mental illness. And again, you're back to "bigotry". That's out of bounds for this conversation.

Hmm, and yet you still don't understand the scientific method. You still aren't understanding that there is already a proven link between gender and gender role confusion and trans/homosexual behavior. It's a matter of figuring out the path forward from it. Conversion therapy is the root of a path forward, just as asylums were a start of a path forward for the start of treatment for other mental illnesses. It's not politically popular to admit the issues directly linked to gender and gender role confusion, and long ago I directly pointed out that just asking for dictionary definitions prove out my point. The last person I tried this on stumbled, just as I predicted. In fact, that's been universal with everyone I've tried it on. That's the scientific method at work: testable and reproducible. The real torture is not genuinely helping people and instead encouraging people to cut off their junk. Try what I did. Don't get caught up in philosophizing. People philosophize about concepts they have trouble understanding and trouble applying to themselves. Again, you're looking for a dictionary answer. "Gender is..." "Gender roles are...".
