  1. So, Uber asked me if removing UberX (the standard option) would make me sad. They wanted to know if I'd choose a different option or leave the platform entirely.

    In all honesty, that would allow only the newer, eco-friendly vehicles to run around, so that's something. The prices aren't any higher, especially if you choose the wait&save option.

    The downside, from what I've noticed, is that (all???) EVs have ad displays in the back. Look, I want to do my part and reduce CO₂ emissions, but I absolutely detest ads. Plus, I'm paying for my ride. At least make them free, you know, like those awful mobile games that people play in the bathroom.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Damit du mit einem Blick auf unsere Strommix-Prognose siehst, wann besonders viel oder besonders wenig klimafreundlich erzeugter Strom zur Verfügung steht, wird jede Stunde mit einer Farbe bewertet: 🚦

    🟢 Letztes Jahr haben Erneuerbare Energien 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝟲𝟮 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘁 der Stromversorgung abgedeckt. Wird dieser Wert erreicht, wird der entsprechende Zeitraum hellgrün markiert. Am 26. Oktober 2025 übernahmen Erneuerbare sogar satte 𝟴𝟱%! 🤩

    Verlegst du einen Verbrauch in diese Stunden, trägst du ein Stück dazu bei, dass in diesem Jahr noch mehr grüner Strom den Weg in die Steckdosen der Republik findet! 👍

    💚 Werden in einer Stunde 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝟴𝟰 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘁 erwartet, wird sie mit einem kräftigen Grün eingefärbt. Fossile Kraftwerke müssen dann nur noch einen kleinen Teil der Stromversorgung übernehmen wodurch für den Betrieb deiner Elektrogeräte deutlich weniger Emissionen anfallen. ☁

    🔴 Liegt der Anteil Erneuerbarer Energien 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟯𝟬 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘁 und müssen Kohle- und Gaskraftwerke den Großteil der Versorgung abdecken, z.B. bei einer Dunkelflaute, dann erscheinen die Zeiträume in unserer Grafik rot.

    A French company designed a hybrid wind and solar installation that looks like a tree. Mini wind turbines are shaped like leaves with solar panels attached at the base and can be installed anywhere.

    The mini turbines can be installed separately on buildings or can be mounted on three different botanical shaped structures: bush, palm and tree. You can even customize the colors. 😊

  10. Denmark’s #solar panels produced a record 850 GWh of electricity in June, equal to the annual power use of about 210,000 households.
    Solar energy accounted for 26% of the #electricity used that month.

  11. Japanese Power Plant Turns Saltwater Into Electricity and It’s a Glimpse Into The Future

    Fukuoka District Waterworks Agency Scientists believe saltwater could become a reliable source of renewable energy through a process known as osmosis. Japan has now taken a major step in that direction. Earlier this month, Japan officially launched its first osmotic power plant in Fukuoka, a large city to the west of Tokyo. That makes Japan the second country in the world to bet on osmotic power, after Denmark. Fukuoka’s plant is expected to generate about 880,000 kilowatt hours of […]

  12. This is an interesting article. Why? Because it goes beyond the normalized threadbare reporting we are subjected to from main stream media. And because the information imparted by the article is so… *refreshing* ?… due to its structure (the way it is written) and the information it reveals, both of which entice the reader to pay attention while reducing the temptation to *skim* the article — *skim reading* is a pathology thrust upon readers of social media platforms, it is highly infectious and to date there are no remedies (but maybe this article and the type of *journalism* it champions is the antidote).

    The article **explains** (wooaah, that’s bold and inovative) that the #TomagoSmelter bail out isn’t, in fact, a run-of-the-mill govt *bail out*.

    “…there is every chance that this arrangement will be cost-neutral over the decade, while at the same time turbocharging the energy transition and economic diversification of Australia’s most prominent industrial region.” That is the exiting part.

    But there is a dependency and #RioTinto needs to stick to the commitment for a decade at least. “ For its part, Tomago has committed to investing a minimum of $1.1 billion in reducing energy usage and switching to renewables. Not only will closure be avoided, but there will be a value-add to the region.”

    And that #Corporation has a track record : accr.org.au/news/rio-tinto-cli

    If it all works out as planned, this public funding/investment (not a bail out as such) will benefit all parties including the #HunterRegions and support the transition to #Renewables energy.

  13. Oil Things Must Pass
    ==================

    [Verse 1]
    Our governments are always warring
    Killing keeps gas price at bay
    Poor people’s blood, rich man’s profit
    I just don’t believe what they say

    [Chorus]
    Oil things must pass
    Oil things must pass away

    [Verse 2]
    We’re destroying all the natural greenery
    No place left, for the kids to play
    They choke on toxic fumes, while coughing
    It doesn’t have to be this way.

    [Chorus]
    Oil things must pass
    Oil things must pass away

    [Bridge]
    Oil things must pass
    No human beings can last
    So we must switch to solar power now, without delay

    [Verse 3]
    Sunlight doesn’t cost a penny.
    Solar batteries get recharged all day.
    Planet Earth heated up, despite all warnings.
    Let’s cool it, before it’s too late.

    [Chorus]
    Oil things must pass
    Oil things must pass away
    Oil things must pass
    Oil things must pass away

  14. 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?
