# SYNTAX ENERGY > Satirical utility and free digital playground at https://syntax.energy. Not an electric utility. Not a carbon registry. Not a carbon credit. Nothing on the site is for sale. Syntax Energy Co. is satire: a utility that meters the energy wasted by syntax errors, failed deploys and rebuilds nobody needed, and reports on it like a listed company. Around the joke sits a free playground of browser games with local high scores, physics and engineering simulators with stated assumptions, and practical tools that run entirely in the browser. ## Syntax Labs https://syntax.energy is the public site of Syntax Labs. The utility on this domain is satire. Sister products live on their own domains: - [DocGlue](https://docglue.com): Compares quotes, invoices, purchase orders and contracts. Changed prices, quantities and totals include the page they came from. - [The Tech Briefing](https://thetechbriefing.com): One tech briefing at a time, sourced and dated, for people who have to decide. Kilowatt figures, megawatt readouts, futures prices and harvest nodes are generated for satire. They have no relationship to a grid operator, ISO, RTO or environmental market. Simulators are educational models, not engineering design or validation tools. The paid shop, certificates and enterprise retainers were retired in November 2026; old shop links redirect to the harvest archive. ## Key pages - [Home](https://syntax.energy/): The playground.
