💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🌳🪨 A large-scale field #experiment in #Wales shows that adding crushed volcanic #basalt rock dust to #soil accelerates native woodland growth.
The #nature-based method boosted #carbon capture by up to 27% in the first four years, providing an urgent tool for global #climate restoration efforts.

What is GLASS?
GLASS is tough and often stands guard within a frame,
Like as a window, or fronting a picture,
Or focussing our gaze, when our eyes are not the same.
And I often see through you, unless disguised by your coating,
Put on to dull your amorphous transparent mixture,
Of soda, silica, limestone and ‘fancier’ bits, you often say when gloating.
And it is obsidian to say that you can’t be naturally found,
A universal secret without human intervention.
And your boast about rapid cooling makes my heart pound,
For when you were made, you were just too hot to handle,
Making parched lungs wait, for when you were of malleable intention,
Else creating such strange objects, as if made by a mischievous vandal.
Yet, I am overwhelmed by the stresses that you quietly hide
Within your new shape or moulded design,
Made whilst gooey like molten plastic, where no animal can abide.
Which makes for great fun when a glass animal is ‘born’
And you see its wonders in detail and colours and lines
Made by us humans, as we’ve been doing since time’s early dawn.
As an art, you are an object of delight in many ways,
Mimicking nature, abstract designs and useful objects to name a few.
Modern buildings tease out new conceptual uses for your display,
Fish swim within your bounds, whilst plants bathe in wind-less sunshine.
You also protect and make for easy cleaning – for us to enjoy a safer view
From the sky, or on the water, where we can watch the world as we dine.
Broken items can be accidental, and there is none more dangerous than glass,
With your warped sharp edges and shards that can stick you like a pin.
But no blame to you, as QA have given you a solid ‘pass’.
Your character can even be changed, by material science at its best,
To make you stronger, withstand heat and shock, and be made ultra-thin.
But I wish that people knew you better,
As you hide your magical form . . . when you are squeaky clean.

They want to block the sun to save #capitalism.
#Stardust is an Israeli company that wants to inject #silica particles in the atmosphere. Their studies have NOT been peer reviewed. The health risks of inhaling silica are well known.

[A hydrothermal system on #Mars] In the rocks bounding the Jezero impact crater, the #Pereverance rover's instrument array has detected the presence of #silica in various forms: opal, chalcedony and #quartz. Evidence of water-rock interaction dating back to the very beginning of the Red Planet's history ....
Knowing that siliceous rocks - opal in particular - have a remarkable ability to preserve traces of #life, all that remains is to sample these rocks and bring them back to Earth for further exobiological analysis.

Environmental Impacts of #Geothermal Energy
Published Mar 5, 2013
Union of Concerned Scientists"The most widely developed type of geothermal power plant (known as #hydrothermal plants) are located near #geologic “#HotSpots” where hot molten rock is close to the earth’s crust and produces hot water. In other regions enhanced geothermal systems (or hot dry rock geothermal), which involve drilling into Earth’s surface to reach deeper geothermal resources, can allow broader access to geothermal energy."
[...]
"Some geothermal plants also produce small amounts of #mercury emissions, which must be mitigated using mercury filter technology. Scrubbers can reduce air emissions, but they produce a watery #sludge composed of the captured materials, including #sulfur, #vanadium, #silica compounds, chlorides, #arsenic, mercury, #nickel, and other heavy metals. This #ToxicSludge often must be disposed of at hazardous waste sites."
[...]
"Land #subsidence, a phenomenon in which the land surface sinks, is sometimes caused by the removal of water from geothermal reservoirs. Most geothermal facilities address this risk by re-injecting wastewater back into geothermal reservoirs after the water’s heat has been captured.
"Hydrothermal plants are sited on geological “hot spots," which tend to have higher levels of #earthquake risk. There is evidence that hydrothermal plants can lead to an even greater earthquake frequency. Enhanced geothermal systems (hot dry rock) can also increase the risk of small earthquakes. In this process, water is pumped at high pressures to fracture underground hot rock reservoirs similar to technology used in natural gas hydraulic #fracturing. (See How Natural Gas Works for more information.) Earthquake risk associated with enhanced geothermal systems can be minimized by siting plants an appropriate distance away from major fault lines. When a geothermal system is sited near a heavily populated area, constant monitoring and transparent communication with local communities is also necessary."

@deepbluev7 I was wondering btw why #Sailtrix seems to be using a completely different code base. Looks like you could use Nheko backend quite well to build a #silica GUI as well?
