The conversation about #SouthAfrica's looming #electricitycrisis HAS to include coal.

Here's why: 🧵🧵 Image

Our energy sector is the 🥈 highest Green House Gas emitter of all the World's Industrializing countries (the G20) 🥲🌍🥲. Coal is responsible for roughly 85% of our energy generation 🤯.

Coal is becoming less #efficient 📉
Its increasing Energy Return on Investment (or EROI) means that a higher energy input is needed to generate electricity!
The exact opposite of #renewable energy☘️… 🙄🙄

Coal is now less #efficient 📉
The amount of energy required to get coal to create electricity is now higher, so basically nowadays… it’s giving us back less than before!
The exact opposite of #renewables☘️…🙄🙄

@rk_process9 #ChatGPT has sparked a global belief in #AI and its capabilities to replace humans. However, affluent individuals and businesses seek exclusive access to customized AI models rather than using the tools or #platforms that are publicly available.
2/n
With exclusivity, large businesses would be able to train these #AI models using years of their collected #data. This is understandable, as these individuals and businesses have reached #success by thinking and acting differently from their competitors.

We are all being rightly encouraged to be #efficient in our trial design & conduct. Efficiency comes primarily through design choices … whether classic or more modern efficient designs … a few reflections below 1/7
#MethodologyMonday
A #crossover design can be highly efficient. Each person acts as their own control removing large element of variation, making the design more powerful. The outcome needs to be short term however & the intervention can’t have a long-standing effect 2/7

This is particularly the case when a cluster design is also in play. A #ClusterCrossover design can majorly reduce the sample size requirements compared with a std cluster design. A good primer on this was published by @karlahemming and colleagues 3/7

I love to provide structure for my learners. A couple years ago I adopted a set of rules for rounds and ward teams. These continue to evolve.

I share them on day 1, and refer back to them frequently while on service.
👇

#TeamRules #MedEd
What are your #teamrules?
Rule 1: We treat patients, not diseases or numbers.

Always always put the disease and number into context for that specific patient. And get to know the patient.

It’s good medicine, and makes the job so much more interesting.

#SDOH #IllnessInContext #EBM
Rule 2: Rounds are done by noon.

Come prepared and we will get the work done together

Stick with the 4 Ds - decompensated, discharges, diagnostic dilemmas, the C Diff patients last. Stop wherever we are at 11:30 and finish running the list.

1/ "If doctors and nurses #clocked out when their paid #hours were finished, the effect on patients would be calamitous. Doctors and nurses know this, which is why they don’t shirk.

The system knows it, too, and takes advantage." @danielleofri nyti.ms/31ma6Qz
2/ "Increasingly, though, I’ve come to the uncomfortable realization that this #ethic that I hold so dear is being cynically #manipulated.

With mergers and streamlining, it has pushed the #productivity numbers about as far as they can go."
3/ "By now, corporate medicine has milked just about all the 'efficiency' it can out of the system."

I often think about this from an educator perspective too. My residents often say 'I just don't know how I can be any more #efficient" #MedEd

Ah, the #EuropeanParliamentElection knocks at the door! Let’s see who is #campaigning for what…In #Italy, a #rightwingcoalition calls for a #guaranteedincome, #largerpensions, and resistance to the heavy-handed #austerityprograms enforced by the #EuropeanUnion.
In #France, some #rightwinggroups champion #fight against #climatechange, decry #exploitation of #foreignworkers, growing #economicinequality. What about the #centerright and #centerleft parties? #Polls show they will lose their #majority, and the Euroskeptics bag 30+% of seats.
However, #Euroskeptic, like #populist, is a term that obscures more than it reveals. #Spain’s leftist #Podemos isn’t likely to break bread with #Italy’s rightist #NorthernLeague-#M5S, but both are considered #Euroskeptic. Some are really #wolves but wear #sheepskins.

I recently had the chance to visit one of the most innovative #Bitcoin mining operations in #Norway

Conclusion: Bitcoin mining is necessary, not wasteful, and even superior to the alternatives.

Read everything here and in this thread👇

So far most #Bitcoin mining is done in #China, with subsidized electricity and coal power, here: A power plant in Xiangshawan Desert in Ordos of Inner Mongolia
. @NorthernBitcoin is one company who goes to where the cheap renewable energy is, in this case #Hydropower in Norway at a plant near Sandane

1. #Efficient gas fired combined heat and power #CHP plants will always displace another form of gas generation ow.ly/Hxfv30f5ryh ImageImage
2. for as long as gas fuelled technologies will provide the bulk of our #power and #heat needs.
3. Due to its fuelefficiency & ability to use renewable fuels #CHPs deliver costs & #carbonemissions savings across entire UK energy system
