For those that keep saying wind turbines can't be reused or recycled need to read this

"The analysis found a total 99.9% material recovery – calculating that 79.5% of the wind farm’s components were recycled and 20.4% were reused or retained as spare parts, keeping nearly all material out of landfills."

100% of the recycling and component retention took place in the UK, supporting domestic green jobs and at least 10 supply chain companies.

An analysis carried out for the Guardian has found that in areas with the fewest sunny days, solar panels could bring annual savings of about £450 a year on the average household electricity bill. In areas with the brightest skies, this figure could climb to more than £600.

Findings provided by the UK solar firm Recharge Renewable.

American Investors To Explore Mega Infrastructure, Energy Deals And Other Opportunities In The Philippines

Several business executives and investors from the United States are set to visit the Philippines next week to explore investment opportunities in the nation’s infrastructure sector, energy sector, and more, according to a news report by the Manila Bulletin. The American investors will engage with their Filipino counterparts during the planned 5-day trade mission.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the report of the Manila Bulletin. Some parts in boldface…

More than 25 American business executives and investors will visit the country next week for a business mission as the United States (US) seeks to deepen its economic ties with the Philippines, which recently secured upper-middle-income status.

In a statement, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) said the US business delegation would mount a five-day trade mission across major economic areas in the Philippines from July 6 to 10.

The delegation includes business leaders and investors from the Northeast and Midwest regions of the US. The mission is organized by the DTI’s Philippine Trade and Investment Center (PTIC) in New York and the Philippine Consulates General in New York and Chicago.

The DTI said the business mission aims to strengthen economic ties between the two longtime trade partners while also encouraging US companies to invest more in the country’s growing economy.

Based on the latest country income classifications of the World Bank, the Philippines has moved up from lower-middle-income to upper-middle-income status. This was based on the country’s gross national income (GNI) per capita estimate for 2025, which reached a record $4,850.

The DTI noted that the upcoming visit also comes at a time when the Philippines is actively positioning itself as a key partner for US companies looking to expand in Asia.

During the business mission, the US delegation will meet with Philippine government leaders and local business owners to explore business, tourism, and investment opportunities.

The US business leaders will also attend business meetings, informational briefings, and tours of key economic areas in Manila, Clark, Subic, and Corregidor.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you see a promising future between the United States and the Philippines when it comes to economics and investment under the leadership of US President Donald Trump? Are you convinced the corruption within the Philippines is no longer a turn-off for American investors?

#SoftBank should use Off-shore 🌊 Solar 🌞 Energy!

Deploy barges with solar panels in the Ocean, in international waters.

These solar farms can be moved according to weather conditions.

They charge batteries which are brought ashore periodically.

A minimal crew is needed for maintenance of these solar farms, and to haul batteries back and forth.

This is a very efficient source of clean energy.

Am 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴 haben wir viel Wind im deutschen Stromnetz! 𝟰𝟮% der Stromerzeugung erfolgt durch Winkraftanlagen an Land, 𝟵% durch Offshore-Windräder.

Diese Windenergie können wir nutzen, indem wir unsere Waschmaschine 👕 oder den Geschirrpüler 🍽 während der Zeiten mit viel Wind in Betrieb nehmen. Oder uns (elektrifizierten) Rückenwind in das eBike packen! 🚲

Das große Stromangebot aus Erneuerbaren Energien reduziert dabei nicht nur die Emissionen für die Stromerzeugung, sondern drückt auch den Börsenpreis: Eine Kilowattstunde gibt es am Spotmarkt zeitweise für 𝟭 Cent pro Kilowattstunde! 😮

Wer einen dynamischen Stromtarif hat, kann diesen 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴 also sehr günstigen, grünen Strom beziehen. 🌬️💸

„Und was machen wir, wenn mal kein Wind scheint und keine Sonne weht!1!???“

Ein Kommentar, der bei keinem Beitrag über den Atom- oder Kohleausstieg fehlen darf…🙄

Wer sich bewusst grünen Strom aus dem Netz pickt, kennt die Antwort: 🦉 Strom sparen bzw. zu einem anderen Zeitpunkt verbrauchen! Denn während Dunkelflauten muss jede zusätzlich benötigte Kilowattstunde von konventionellen Kraftwerken erzeugt werden und verursacht entsprechend Emissionen - am 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴 um 𝟱 Uhr bis zu 𝟲𝟮𝟬 Gramm CO2 pro Kilowattstunde! ☁

Dunkelflauten sind aber eher selten und schon am nächsten Tag kann es wieder mehr Windenergie im Netz geben – unsere nächste Strommix-Prognose wird es zeigen! 📈

Durch das Verschieben von Stromverbräuchen können alle einen kleinen Beitrag leisten, um unabhängiger von fossilen Kraftwerken oder Stromimporten zu werden. Bei fast 40 Millionen Waschmaschinen und Geschirrspülern, die nicht unbedingt während einer Dunkelflaute laufen müssen, kommt dabei aber einiges zusammen! Je mehr mitmachen, desto mehr CO2 Emissionen können während solcher Zeiten vermieden werden.

#SearsIsland: The Answer to Green Energy, Or Home to #Biodiverse #Wildlife?

by Freyja Grey
Jul 16, 2024

"The #Wabanaki people indigenous to the area named Sears Island #Wassumkeag, or Shining Beach. The tribes used the island to hunt and fish for centuries.

"McCarthy said, 'They've been documented archeologically to have had a presence here for at least thirty-five hundred years.... There's a bio-regional perspective that considers all the relations: the #insects, the #grasses, the #trees, the #eelgrass, the #birds, the critters that roam these woods — if you really want to speak for Sears Island, it's incumbent, not just for poets and photographers and old hippies, it's incumbent for all of us to be mindful of all that is happening here.'

"McCarthy said he gets why the island is an attractive place for development. 'We're in a time where wind energy is important,' he said. 'We need to find green sources of power, but the narrowness of that human perspective needs to be challenged.'

"Both McCarthy and Lawless join the group #FriendsOfSearsIsland in maintaining that #MackPoint is better situated for development.

"Even though 600 acres of the island are protected by a conservation easement, industrial disruption to the peaceful island could lead to #environmental impacts that may not be fully realized until after development, according to McCarthy."

Plans for #DeepSeabedMining pit #RenewableEnergy demand against #OceanLife in an untamed frontier https://www.alternet.org/deep-sea-mining-ocean-life/ Much of the coverage of deep seabed mining has been framed to highlight the climate benefits. This overlooks the dangers this activity could pose for the Earth’s largest pristine #Ecology – the deep sea It would be wise to better understand this fragile #Ecosystem better before rushing to mine it #SaveOurOceans #environment #EarthSciences #NaturalResources #GreenEnergy
