Tyler Crowe: Looking back at some of the stock market darlings of 2025, this is Motley Fool Money. Welcome to Motley Fool Money. My name's Tyler Crowe. Today, I'm joined by longtime contributors, Matt Frankel and Jon Quast. The end of the year is sneaking up on us pretty quick, and I don't know, there's some instinctual feel as investors to look back at the year as December rolls around and take stock, if you will, don't mind my pun of the stock market darlings of 2025. What did well? What worked, and what ...

Humanitarian Aid & Technology - Kakuma refugee camp hosts over 300,000 refugees from more than 20 countries [1] - Mapping is critical for logistics and service placement in refugee camps [1] - Manually mapping the area is prohibitively difficult [2] - Humanitarian OpenStreetMaps collaborates with locals to label data using drone imagery [3][6] AI & Open Source Solutions - AI models are trained on labeled data to map solar panels, buildings, roof types, and sanitation facilities [4] - Open source code is created for mapping various facilities, enabling independent use [4] - AI expertise is combined with domain experts' understanding of human impact [5] - The technology can be leveraged and contributed to by other organizations and refugee camps [5] - The goal is to enable every refugee camp to create their own maps using drone imagery [6]

India excels at solar power. But in coal towns like Dhanbad, life still revolves around the dirtiest fuel as informal markets, political ties and generations of dependence keep coal entrenched. https://t.co/4pNCvkhU0z ...

Incredible progress by China in solar power!America needs to do the same.Jesse Peltan (@JessePeltan):China has grown by over 500 TWh in the past 12 months.Coal is down 66 TWh. https://t.co/g3BQU4UiBg ...

The Sun is an enormous, free fusion reactor in the sky. It is super dumb to make tiny fusion reactors on Earth.Even if you burned 4 Jupiters, the Sun would still round up to 100% of all power that will ever be produced in the solar system!!Stop wasting money on puny little reactors, unless actively acknowledging that they are just there for your pet science project jfc. ...

Batteries are getting cheaper and allowing solar power to be used beyond daylight hours, according to a new analysis from clean energy think tank Ember https://t.co/vq9ToDTgo6 ...

Zimbabwe plans to start building a floating solar plant on the world’s largest human-made lake next year https://t.co/IAbh3XXcsU ...

RT Lacey (@LaceyPresley)KARDASHEV SCALE: MUSK'S COSMIC BLUEPRINTUnlocking solar power for AI dominance."To achieve any meaningful percentage of a Kardashev II civilization, where you're using even a millionth of the sun's energy, you must have solar-powered AI satellites in deep space. Earth receives only one two-billionth of the sun's output. If you want a million times more energy, you must go into space."Musk leaning on the Kardashev scale isn’t just tech talk—it’s him showing his hand. He’s thinking pas ...

"We set a path to to. Putting 100GW per year of solar powered air satellite into orbit. And and having this be actually the lowest cost way to power and operate. At at a very large scale. For reference, the United States consumes roughly 460GW in average per year because the average power in the US is 460. The whole country." — Elon Musk ...

RT Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal)ELON: TO SCALE CIVILIZATION, WE’LL HAVE TO MOVE AI TO DEEP SPACE“I see a path to Starship cost-per-ton-to-orbit being lower than air flight.That opens up a very wide range of possibilities.The most obvious one I think is actually solar-powered AI satellites.To move the AI to orbit and essentially deep space over time, because you can actually access over a billion times more energy from the sun in deep space than you can on Earth.To make any progress on a Kardashev 2 scale, whi ...
