  1. MarineTraffic has lighthouses and big rocks as well as ships and boats, but I can't find the flock of wind turbines I saw from Clare last month - they should be off the coast of Galway, I think
    Oh, wait, no, they're onshore, so they wouldn't be recorded.

  2. That unique feeling when the sun throws its light into the dusty sky, and you see their silhouettes out to the horizon, generating invisible charges that power everything we know and love...

  3. Lees tip -> Kabinet houdt vast aan afstandsnorm voor windturbines | Volgens het kabinet biedt de afstandsnorm vooral duidelijkheid en zekerheid aan bewoners, omwonenden en bestuurders over de toegestane afstand tussen woningen en windturbines. | #ministerievanInfrastructuurenWaterstaat #omwonenden #windturbines #duurzaamheid #afstandsnorm #energietransitie #kabinet #Woningbouw #windparken |

  4. You only need to buy a wind turbine or a set of solar panels once, as they last for many years, unless a more efficient model catches your eye. For capitalists, that's pocket change. They need things they can charge for on a regular basis, not these one-offs, to become and remain showered in other people's money, in proper, regular, extractions.

    Besides, nuclear energy and fossil fuels are mandatory tools in order to win at the biggest money-making game of them all.

    War.

  5. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: A barn #owl can catch a #mouse in a completely dark room using only its sense of #hearing.

    The secret lies in its #feathers – reflective facial disc feathers focus #sound into asymmetrically placed #ears, while serrated wing feathers muffle noise mid-flight. Engineers at #Siemens are now mimicking owl feathers to make quieter #windturbines.

  6. Walk, bike, hail a ride, share a ride, use Public Transportation, install solar panels on your roof or balcony, investment in an EV if you can or want... Just actively say NO to Big Oil. We absolutely need to phase out fossils if we still want to have a planet.

  7. IN TASMANIA…
    A wind turbine on an apple orchard at Lucaston, in the Huon Valley, takes a welcome break after the wind drops.

    Many orchardists in the region and elsewhere in the island state went into cattle when apple exports to the UK went into decline when that country joined the European Common Market in the 1970s. Whole fields of apple trees were uprooted.

    Apples remain an important crop in the Huon, something you appreciate when you bite into one of the locally grown fruit. And, of course, apple farms need electrical energy, and that is where this resting wind turbine comes into the picture.
