Thinking about subscribing to SpaceX's satellite internet service provider, Starlink? Be warned: The company appears to have quietly jacked up a demand-based fee in certain states. Redditors first began noticing the change this week while trying to get Starlink service in the Pacific Northwest, PCMag reported, finding that the "demand fee" at checkout was $500. The outlet noted that this fee was previously set at $250 in April for areas where the service was nearing a preset customer limit. Th

In the US, many newly constructed generating facilities are brought online at the end of the year to qualify for tax incentives. Since much of the US's new generating capacity is solar power, that has led to a boom in solar production to start the year in recent years. With the first three months of data in for 2025, it's clear this year is no exception: Solar power is up a staggering 44 percent compared to the prior year. That's the good news.

Innovation in IT got us to this point. Graphics processing units (GPUs) that power the computing behind AI have fallen in cost by 99% since 2006. There was similar concern about the energy use of data centers in the early 2010s, with wild projections of growth in electricity demand. But gains in computing power and energy efficiency not only proved these projections wrong but enabled a 550% increase in global computing capability from 2010 to 2018 with only minimal increases in energy use.
