Meta To Expand Energy Supply With 100MW of U.S. Solar
Meta has entered into a $100 million agreement with solar developer Silicon Ranch to build a 100-megawatt solar farm in South Carolina. The project will power Meta’s upcoming $800 million AI data center in the state, with both facilities slated to begin operations in 2027. According to the companies, most of the equipment for the solar installation will be manufactured in the United States. This marks the 18th collaboration between Meta and Silicon Ranch, a partnership that has already […]https://onlinemarketingscoops.com/2026/08/25/meta-to-expand-energy-supply-with-100mw-of-u-s-solar/

How To Store Renewable Energy
Image credit: Pramote Polyamate via Getty Images Renewable-energy storage is important to help humanity reduce its dependence on fossil fuels such as oil and coal, which produce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Harnessing the power of the sun with solar panels and utilizing wind power with wind turbines are two common ways to generate renewable energy. But the sun isn't always shining and the wind isn't always blowing when we want electricity, and […]https://onlinemarketingscoops.com/2026/08/08/how-to-store-renewable-energy/

Double harvest: #raspberries and #RenewableEnergy - #FruitLogistica
Excerpts: "Based on current findings, strawberries do not thrive under #SolarPanels, so this combination of crops does not have a promising future. This was the conclusion of a Wageningen University study on fruit cultivation beneath #photovoltaic systems.
Strawberries grown beneath solar panels with 25 to 50 per cent light transmission experienced a significant drop in yield – by 25 to 30 per cent.
The situation was quite different for raspberries, however: under solar panels with 40 per cent light transmission, the harvest yield fell by only five per cent, and the quality of the fruit remained unchanged. At the same time, the panels reduced evaporation and water consumption, protecting the berries from burns and heat peaks.
The scientists also expect positive effects on #WaterConsumption and protection against #ExtremeWeather conditions.
[...]
One clear advantage is that raspberries are currently grown under rain protection films that have to be replaced every five to seven years. This equates to a significant amount of plastic that would no longer be required if solar modules were used instead. And they last at least ten years."

Solar Power Hits New Milestones In The U.S.
Even as Donald Trump boosts coal over clean energy, solar power is hitting new milestones in the U.S. and remains the leading source of new power. Data released Wednesday by global energy think tank Ember, along with a report by the Solar Energy Industries Association and analytics firm Wood Mackenzie, show the continued growth of solar and decline of coal in the United States despite federal policy. In May, for the first time, solar supplied more of the nation's electricity than coal, or […]https://onlinemarketingscoops.com/2026/06/12/solar-power-hits-new-milestones/

Tonight @Kuniti_shino needs to raise $20-$30 to cover EV charging so mizu can go get the SNAP/EBT card from an annoyingly distant county office (counties in this area are pooling services in adjacent counties sometimes).
The Vulpibus also needs fuel, around $180 worth.
The most recent money went to groceries, props for the rest of the solar panels, electronics parts cleaner fluid for the bus engine connections and a sillcock key for ease of water access in towns and cities.Please send funds to:
PAYPAL https://paypal.me/inaraclocks
or KO-FI https://ko-fi.com/inamruzui as these put the money in the right place for use with EVGo and connected charging networks like Chargepoint.
If you want to donate via other means, please ask, we do have other options.We have now banded together with other vehicle dwellers to begin to construct our first convoy. It's happening, with your help!

The #Vulpibus folks are now just past the halfway point of their journey, which is only possible thanks to your #fedihelp #mutualaid!
But to get all the way there #gtfomystate, hundreds of dollars are still needed for the cost of fuel and food in this capitalist nightmare, and a few hundred more for preventing their car from being towed away for non payment of loans and insurance.
Let's call the goal $1000 over this next few days. This will help with a couple of maintenance things too hopefully.
Progress was made this last few days on the #electrical breaker box, on sewing of a lovely cloak for Inara, and on the gene editing system ( https://gitlab.vulpinedesigns.com and be sure to familiarise yourself with Qt Creator if you want to see the concepts being laid out first paw).
You are all amazing people living in this same messed up world as us. You know what you can and cannot manage to do. Be strong. Be loved. Receive the tolerance you give.

#Freestuff along the route always appreciated and considered.
One thing currently on the to get list is a clothes washing machine, preferably front load as a single or small unit sized combo machine with tumble dryer.
Another is a countertop sized dishwasher.
And a three quarters height, narrow width fridge-freezer.
If you have any of these spare in IA, NE or CO in working or easy-repair condition, please let us know.

When the bus reaches its destination, a commune is to be established with its own off grid systems and food growing. The lab is to be expanded. We intend to help people escape and learn and transform into what they truly want to be.
When I say we, I mean a broad loose-knit network of agents across the world who are a decentralised, unstoppable force for good. The Vulpibus is a catalyst and a tool, the people know how to use it.
Atha is to me a being with great potential focussing on survival when hir real impact should be felt from hir work on gene editing tools for freedom of form.
I fight for hir and everyone to get a fair chance at making that happen. I fight with nice words, sharp words and blunt words, and if needed I will fight with weapons.
A good Nazi is one remembered in history as the discarded husk of our disgraceful mistakes gone by, long since eroded to dust. That starts not just with brute force, but by confounding their efforts in sheer fucking spite.
Join with us now to do just that.

I'm helping the #Vulpibus folks get their shit together by raising awareness and (while capitalism is still ruling the roost and we are not ready to take it down) funds, so they can get on with surviving and building and travelling.
Today they are working on aerodynamic cowls for the solar panels and trying to raise funds for fuel and a tyre.
Can we do it?
$30/$400 for the tyre
$60/$1600 for fuel to cross the country
$0/$150/week for foodAnd there is a need to get an engine diagnostic device too, we will talk more about that soon.

#Solarpunk: A Deep Dive into the Cultural Revolution #Reimagining Our Future
The Philosophy Behind the Movement: More Than Just #SolarPanels
Solarpunk represents not just an aesthetic or literary movement, but a comprehensive framework for reimagining human civilization. Its strength lies in combining practical technical solutions with radical social and cultural innovation, while remaining grounded in ecological reality and human needs. As we face cascading environmental and social crises, Solarpunk offers not just hope, but a practical pathway forward that is both revolutionary and achievable.
by NickyCammarata
Nov 24, 2024Excerpts: "While mainstream coverage often focuses on Solarpunk’s aesthetic elements, the movement represents a fundamental reimagining of human civilization’s relationship with technology, nature, and itself. At its core, Solarpunk challenges the dominant narratives of both techno-optimism and eco-pessimism, proposing instead a radical middle path that embraces both technological advancement and ecological wisdom.
#Decolonial Roots and #Indigenous Influence
"Often overlooked in basic Solarpunk discussions is the movement’s deep connection to #IndigenousKnowledge systems and decolonial thinking. Many Solarpunk principles mirror traditional ecological practices:
- The concept of “#SeventhGeneration” decision-making from #Haudenosaunee philosophy
- #AustralianAboriginal practices of landscape management and fire ecology
- #Andean concepts of “#BuenVivir” (good living) that emphasize harmony between human communities and natural systems
- Traditional #Asian #agricultural practices that create #ClosedLoop systemsThe Political Economy of Solarpunk
Beyond #GreenCapitalism"Solarpunk explicitly rejects the notion that market forces alone can address environmental challenges. Instead, it proposes alternative economic models:
- Commons-based peer production
- Gift economies for local exchange
- Circular economic systems that eliminate waste
- Democratic ownership of key infrastructure
- Time banking and alternative currencies
- #Degrowth economics in overdeveloped regions
#TechnologicalSovereignty"Unlike techno-utopian visions that centralize control in #corporate hands, Solarpunk advocates for:
- #OpenSource technology development
- #CommunityOwned and maintained infrastructure
- Appropriate technology scaled to local needs

If #Cities Are Going To Be Packed With #ParkingLots, They Should All Have #Solar Canopies
More than 5% of developed land in the United States is dedicated to parking lots.
A study attempted to determine what would happen if #Walmart covered all 3,571 of its Super locations’ parking lots with #solarpanels, the solar power generation would be 11.1GW. That’s about the same as twelve large coal-fired #powerplants, enough electricity to provide power to 8.325 million homes. https://jalopnik.com/if-cities-are-going-to-be-packed-with-parking-lots-the-1850880420 -
Why putting #solarpanels beside #highways is a no-brainer!
#California could generate enough #electricity to power 270,000 homes by putting solar panels in the empty land next to highway interchanges in just 3 Southern California counties.There is a lot of “dead” space between highways, which is currently not used for much of anything. It’s not a usable space for wildlife, either, due to the proximity of so many cars. These locations are often near #transmissionlines
