#California’s first #solar-covered canal is now fully online
The 1.6-MW pilot system is among a growing number of initiatives to put solar over #waterways. The approach could generate gigawatts of power nationwide.
By Maria Gallucci
10 September 2025"A novel solar power project just went online in California’s #CentralValley, with panels that span across canals in the vast agricultural region.
"The 1.6-megawatt installation, called #ProjectNexus, was fully completed late last month. The $20 million state-funded pilot has turned stretches of the Turlock Irrigation District’s canals into hubs of clean electricity generation in a remote area where cotton, tomatoes, almonds, and hundreds of other crops are grown.
"Project Nexus is only the second canal-based solar array to operate in the United States — and one of just a handful in the world. America’s first #SolarCanal project started producing power in October 2024 for the #Pima and #Maricopa tribes, known together as the #GilaRiverIndianCommunity, on their reservation near #PhoenixAZ. Two more canal-top arrays are already in the works there.
"In California, the solar-canal system was built in two phases, with a 20-foot-wide stretch completed in March and a roughly 110-foot-wide portion finished at the end of August. Researchers will study the project’s performance over time, while a new initiative led by California universities and the company #SolarAquagrid will push to fast-track the deployment of solar canals across the state.
"Proponents of this emerging approach say it can provide overlapping benefits.
"Early research suggests that, along with producing power in land-constrained areas, putting solar arrays above water can help keep panels cool, in turn improving their efficiency and electricity output. Shade from the panels can also prevent water loss through evaporation in drought-prone regions and can limit algae growth in waterways.
"Plus, solar canals could offer a faster path to clean energy development than utility-scale solar farms, especially in rural parts of the U.S. where big renewables projects increasingly face community opposition. Placing solar panels atop existing infrastructure doesn’t require altering the landscape, and the relatively small installations can be plugged into nearby distribution lines, avoiding the cumbersome process of connecting to the higher-voltage wires required for bigger undertakings."

' Those who shout loudest against #Green policies and visions for a #sustainable egalitarian future are those few with the most to lose.'

'The case for #voting Green
'I’m not a member of the Green #Party, but they're getting my #vote. Here’s why. ...'THE GREENS HAVE two core messages. They’re both simple enough to express, but they can be difficult to explain.
'The first is that we have to change. We’re living beyond what’s called “#planetary boundaries”, which is a way of saying we are using up #Earth’s finite #resources, destroying #biodiversity and making the #planet inhospitable to life.
'There’s no “fix the economy and then we’ll sort out the planet”. The way we’re “fixing the economy” is the problem...
'The second message is that the problems we face have a common cause. It’s the super-rich. Not “people who are well off”, but a tiny #elite: #Elon #Musk and all who travel with him, the #tycoons of the #fossil-fuel #industry, the #financiers who enable them. They have created the #climate crisis, the menaces of social #media, the funnel that sucks #wealth upwards even while they pretend it trickles down.
'The #oligarchs and #techbros are not trying to solve the #world’s problems, although they have the resources to do so. They’re causing them so they can make #money from them.'
'Green policies turn those core messages into action plans. #Energy reform, to leave fossil fuels in the ground and introduce rooftop #solar with #batteries at massive scale. Urban networks of #electrified public #transport, #cycling and walking that are so frequent, reliable, safe and cheap they offer genuinely better #travel options for many people much of the time. #Conservation strategies to clean up our #waterways. A proper commitment to social #housing.
'And tax #reform, targeting the super-rich and offering a #tax cut to 96% of us...'

There will be a high-pitched, continuous hum on NSW ocean beaches from shark surveillance drones
* "Shark-spotting drones will provide year-round coverage at about 70 beaches along the NSW coast as part of an expanded surveillance program announced after a Sydney mother was attacked by a suspected white shark."
"The state government on Sunday announced it would allocate an additional $34 million for shark-spotting drones, providing coverage at every ocean beach from Palm Beach to Cronulla 365 days of the year."
"About 70 beaches across the state will have year-round drone surveillance, with all Sydney beaches covered from July 1.It will also trial artificial intelligence to improve shark detection." >>

A multi-stressor scenario for the ocean and waterway ecosystems:
* The ocean is 'cooked' by the combustion of fossil fuels.
* Add a generous heap of 'nutrient-rich' floodwaters (runoff) from farms and suburbia.
* Get a harmful algal bloom (HAB) disaster, killing bio-diverse marine life and threatening the hip pocket nerve of coastal dwellers."A survey found that Australians remained far more concerned about disasters such as bushfires and flooding than they did HABs, despite 22 million people living with seven kilometres of the coastline and climate change modelling predicting more frequent and severe blooms."
"The study also found Australians had a "relatively low prioritisation of disasters — and HABs in particular — when compared with everyday socio-economic concerns"...Cost of living and healthcare dominated respondents' concerns in Australia, while environmental and climate change-related risks were perceived as less pressing.' >>
