Landscape isn’t decoration—it’s climate infrastructure. Every park, campus, public space, or commercial site quietly:
Guides water to prevent floods and water‑logging
Preserves soil health and local geology
Plants species that thrive, not just look good […]

Back in the 70's the "hippies" told us that we could power the world with wind and solar, we just need incremental improvements and to scale things up, but the capitalists said no.
Guess who was right!?
Now we just need to acknowledge the other things they […]

A wind turbine is erected in the hills of Hunan province, part of an 18-tower, 88-megawatt wind farm. China installed roughly 50 gigawatts of new wind power in the first half of this year—amounting to some 10,000 turbines this size. A 90-meter needle threading through town, a turbine blade makes its way to a hilltop in Hunan province. China has installed nearly half of the world’s wind power capacity, and although wind is growing more slowly than solar, it generates more reliable power. Idling before sunrise in a Nanjing maintenance yard, electric bullet trains wait to be dispatched along the high-speed tracks that span China. At speeds of up to 350 kilometers per hour, the 1300-kilometer journey from Beijing to Shanghai can take just over 4 hours. Solar panels erected in a river’s shallows provide shade for geese as well as power for China’s grid. The country’s bounty of solar power has cut electricity costs and driven investments in batteries and other technologies for storing it at night and on cloudy days.

*I am not sure of the technical details or how legit this company is. What it does show is we have the technology to make #solar available to everyone. This will promote the uptake of more Solar which can only be a good thing. It shows again that Electrification isn't a technical challenge it's […]

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.

Where we put Wind Turbines is very important, with the need to consider both environmental and cultural impacts.
Get that right and they do look rather magnificent. #renewables #solarpunk #windpunk #climatechange #australia

California Refineries Close as Gasoline Demand Slips into Permanent Decline
California’s refinery sector is contracting, and the reasons are not as complicated as operators often suggest. When refinery owners announce closures, they usually point to the burden of environmental regulations, the costs of compliance, or fines from state agencies. Those factors are real, but they are not decisive. The more ... [continued] The post California Refineries Close as Gasoline Demand Slips into Permanent Decline appeared first on CleanTechnica.
