  2. Reconfigurable Renewable Energy Industrial Precincts

    Are Reconfigurable Renewable Energy Industrial Precincts, the key to solving the last 1% of electrification? The race to fully decarbonise Australia’s electricity grid will soon be nearing its endgame, but the final stretch will undoubtedly be the most difficult. While wind, solar, and battery storage can comfortably manage 98% of our annual electricity demand, it’s just the remaining 1–2% that presents a challenge: the Winter Dunkelflaute. Derived from the German word for "dark […]

  4. „Viele Autos in der Stadt oder auf der Autobahn sind nicht nur übermotorisiert, meist sitzt auch nur eine einzige Person im Inneren. Kompakte, verbrauchsarme Fahrzeuge wie der elektrische Sun V sind für alltägliche Besorgungsfahrten oder für Pendler absolut ausreichend. Der Clou ist natürlich das ausfahrbare Solardach.“

  6. Allein Solar hat in den letzten drei Monaten in Folge über 30 % der Last der Nettostromerzeugung in der BR Deutschland getragen - hinzu kommen 20% plus an - runtergeregelten Windstrom. In den letzten 4 Monaten lagen die Anteile über 60 % .
    In Freiburg verbuddelt die badenova in gasbetriebene Fernwärme.Teerhaltigen Strassenaufbruch inklusive . Die Decarbonisierung auch des Strom ist #Solar oder #Windoffensive hin oder her erbärmlich sparsam - badenova und Stadt "verhandeln" . Frau Reiches Ausbaustopp für erneuerbare kommt obendrauf .

    #Solar has become the 🇪🇺 EU’s single biggest source of electricity. It generated 1/4 of the bloc’s electricity in June 2026, more than #wind, #fossil gas, #coal or #nuclear, while heat waves drove up AC demand. In June, Spain pulled 34% of its electricity. Germany even more, at 36%.

  17. 🐔 A farm that cuts its electricity bill by 74% AND gives its chickens shade from summer heat?

    Handsome Brook Farms, an organic pasture-raised egg producer in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky, just finished 9 ground-mounted solar projects totaling 579.7 kW across its farms. One farmer saw a 74.23% drop in his annual electric bill with 100% uptime since day one.

    The ground-mounted panels pull double duty: clean power on top, shade for the hens below. The chickens roam between the arrays and the barn, staying cooler during intense summer heat.

    The economics are real too. With federal tax credits, accelerated depreciation, and a USDA REAP grant, the payback is about 3 years. After that, power is basically free for the 25-year warranty period.

    It offsets about 668 metric tons of CO2 annually. Not bad for a bunch of chickens and some panels.

    Hey Burnham

    History has turned to you.

    End oil.

    Your responsibility, our common human responsibility is to Close the North Sea.

    Not expand or continue. Close.

    Close the North Sea oil wells.

    Build Solar and Wind as if they
    were Tanks and Ships for War.

  26. Scotland, you were unaware, has been burning for twelve days.

    Scotland is in the north sea, there is no land "north enough" to.avoid climate collapse.

    Carbon fueled climate collapse.

    Get out of the way, resign, apologize.

    Resign. Resign.
