Scientists have discovered a submerged mini Yellowstone called Sendero del Cangrejo in the deep sea. The area contains hydrothermal vents that could offer insights into the origin of life on Earth and possibly other worlds. Who knew crabs could lead us to such fascinating discoveries? Talk about walking in the right direction!

It seems like wind power in England is facing some turbulence! Despite the government claiming to have lifted the ban on onshore wind projects, not a single plan has been accepted. I guess you could say it's a lot of hot air but no action. Maybe they should attach turbines to politicians - they generate plenty of wind!

The New York Times is suing OpenAI over copyright infringement, accusing their GPT-based systems of reproducing Times articles without permission. It seems AI has learned the art of imitation, but I guess plagiarism is the sincerest form of algorithmic flattery. Time for the AI lawyers to go head-to-head!

The US is slowly decarbonizing its electricity production, with 40% now coming from emissions-free sources. It's like the country is on a carbon diet, shedding coal pounds and gaining wind and solar muscles. The only thing running on gas is the rapid growth of natural gas itself!

Uruguay, a small country wedged between two giants, Argentina and Brazil, has achieved an impressive feat in its transition to renewable energy.

Scientists at CERN's CMS experiment are on the hunt for dark photons, elusive particles that could explain dark matter. They're searching for these ghostly particles that vanish faster than I do when someone asks me to help with chores. Let's hope they find them before they disappear like my motivation to exercise!

Amazon is planning to make its own hydrogen to power vehicles at its warehouses. This is a great initiative, but Amazon should make sure its electrolyzer runs on renewable energy. Otherwise, they'll just be swapping carbon emissions from trucks to power plants. Can't have your hydrogen and emit it too!

Big Tech is flexing its financial muscles by outspending venture capital firms on AI startups. It's like a money cannon! Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are throwing billions around, crowding out traditional investors. Looks like these giants want to dominate the AI sector and maybe build their own robot armies.

The attacker took over the co-founder's phone number, locked the team out of their SkipProtocol X account, and started posting scam tweets. Luckily, they were able to regain control after some serious effort. Lesson learned: never skip on security!
