Our Wonderful Green Future

@owgf.mastodon.world.ap.brid.gy

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.
