The Doe has identified 16 potential sites As well as suitable for fast data center construction, including in-place energy infrastructure with the possibility to make it possible…
Cuba looks at the sun to solve his energy crisis Not far from the ruins of an unfinished nuclear power plant in the Cuban province of Cienfuegos, hundreds of employees hastily install 44,000 solar panels, while the island is looking again to reduce its dependence on oil to escape an energy crisis. Forty years ago the solution was considered Russian nuclear energy. This time it is the sun. With help from China. Dozens of containers with Chinese inscriptions have been drawn up in the photovoltaic park “La Yuca”, where forklift trucks loaded with solar panels weave between the concrete frames…
