  1. Japanese Power Plant Turns Saltwater Into Electricity and It’s a Glimpse Into The Future

    Fukuoka District Waterworks Agency Scientists believe saltwater could become a reliable source of renewable energy through a process known as osmosis. Japan has now taken a major step in that direction. Earlier this month, Japan officially launched its first osmotic power plant in Fukuoka, a large city to the west of Tokyo. That makes Japan the second country in the world to bet on osmotic power, after Denmark. Fukuoka’s plant is expected to generate about 880,000 kilowatt hours of […]

  2. Here's a revolutionary idea: let's ditch those pesky fossil fuels and go full retro with windmills and horses for dredging the Netherlands 🐎! Because nothing screams 'modern efficiency' like taking a time machine back to the 1700s ⏳. Next up, a steam-powered internet! 🌬️💡

  3. Trump tried to curb clean energy. It’s booming anyway. Capacity will rise by a record 45GW this year, according to S&P Global Energy. Archive: ia: https://s.faithcollapsing.com/yyk4f https://s.faithcollapsing.com/5k50p#clean-energy #science #solar #syndication #wind-power

  4. Half of Ireland’s grid-scale electricity generated last year came from renewable sources.

    Gas was the largest energy source for electricity generation, responsible for 47% of generation.

    Wind came in second and was the largest renewable source, providing 40% of generated electricity.

    In June 2025, Ireland stopped all generation of electricity from coal.

  6. Take down #BigOil & #BigTech. Down to the ground. May #Solar rule. The universe knows what it is doing. Have you thought about the fact that almost every #watt of #energy you have experienced is legacy solar (oil) or direct solar energy? #CleanEnergy #WindPower #SolarEverything

    Hook, hold, harvest and hide: ...

  7. New 4000 km #HVDC line will transport #WindPower electricity between Canada and Europe: 6 Gigawatts (3 pairs of 2GW conductors).

    “Interconnection would help immensely with both demand and supply variability, really smoothing out grids on both sides of the Atlantic... Europe is asleep when North America is still awake and vice versa, so contrasting power demand profiles match up well too.”
