  1. "Many large cities around the world experience frequent power outages and yet have an abundance of tall buildings and experience rainfall. This represents a unique and scalable opportunity for cities to capture the intermittent rainwater at high elevation and convert the potential energy into electricity for rechargeable batteries at street level when solar panels are unproductive. Through a global data analysis, we demonstrate there are indeed numerous large cities with a non-negligible potential for harvestable hydropower using an easy-to-implement concept called Self-sufficient Harvester of Electricity-Water. In an effort to aspire toward a more sustainable way of urban living, we now urge the scientific community to reimagine large cities with tall buildings as untapped sources of hydropower whose intermittent nature could be stored in rechargeable batteries to provide a more stable backup for low-power but essential services during outages."

  9. Afterwards, someone from the department of education asked me how long I had rehearsed my questions. I said not at all and I countered with why the f aren't more people asking these questions?

    I do not expect anyone there to make change, but these conversations need to be held. #PowerResiliency #DeGrowth #Hydropower

    Renewables overtake natural gas in US power generation for first time

    Renewable energy sources generated more electricity than natural gas in the United States for the first time last month, marking a significant milestone in the transition to clean energy.

    According to data from Ember, renewables including #solar, #wind, #hydropower and bioenergy became the largest source of US electricity in March. Combined with #nuclear power, they supplied more than half of total generation.
