Albania, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, Iceland, Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of Congo produced more than 99.7 per cent of the electricity they consumed using #geothermal, #hydro, #solar or #wind power.
Nicht der Wind,
sondern das Segel
bestimmt die Richtung.
Weisheit aus China
Von Herzen wünsche ich euch, ihr Lieben, 🧡
einen schönen, stressfreien Samstag mit wunderbaren Momenten und Begegnungen, einen Tag, an dem all eure Planungen gelingen! ☀️
Das Foto zeigt ein Segelschiff, das mein Sohn vor ungef. 28 J. für mich gezeichnet hat, als er gerade die Schreibschrift erlernte.
To become climate neutral until 2040 the state of Bavaria needs to build 104 wind turbines every year. With the first quarter of 2024 coming to an end we should be at 26 turbines. To keep track of the actual progress, Greenpeace has installed a counter in the Munich city center. Below is a picture I took today of the counter
Will man seinen Stromverbrauch an klimafreundliche Stromerzeuger anpassen, ist ein Tag mit viel Wind besonders praktisch: Denn anders als der typische Mittagspeak der Photovoltaik steht uns Windenergie oft über den gesamten Tag zur Verfügung. 🌞🌬️🌛 So kann man meist auch schon vormittags oder noch spät abends viel grünen Strom nutzen. 🌱
Am 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗴 um 𝟯 Uhr ist der Windkraft-Anteil an der gesamten Stromerzeugung mit 𝟴𝟯% am höchsten. Über den gesamten 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗴 beträgt ihr Anteil am Strommix etwa 𝟳𝟬% und damit deutlich mehr als der Jahresdurchschnitt 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮 von 𝟮𝟱.𝟮%.
"Electricity generated by #solar and on-shore #wind is the cheapest in #Australia, even after the significant expense of integrating them into the power grid is factored in, according to new analysis from the CSIRO.
Estimates show small modular nuclear reactors would provide most expensive power and will not be available until 2030."
@nature Short video of Ruffed Grouse /Bonasa umbellus in full display, posing in the #wind and late afternoon #AutumnSun! I suspect he was displaying because I'd just been mowing: I think the sound of motors sometimes make them think another #bird is drumming in their territory!
I'm trying Spectra as a fediverse #VideoHosting platform- let me know how it works for you!
I'm posting to YouTube as well for non-fedi connections or anyone who likes that better for viewing! https://spectra.video/w/jrxvBcDGQER3WLbZ3ixi8X
A new report says that offshore wind could turn Atlantic Canada into an "energy superpower" akin to Texas with its oilfields.
The report says that Sable Island Bank off the coast of Nova Scotia alone could accommodate at least 1,000 offshore turbines, enough to generate about 70,000 gigawatt-hours of electricity a year – twice the amount of energy now used in the region.
Good news if true – and if governments & businesses act on it?
National Weather Service advice for what to do in the case of a #TropicalStorm or #Hurricane hitting Southern California (probably a TS or tropical depression for most of us when it hits). #flooding and #wind probably the biggest impacts.
The feature article reports a study of the compression of the remanent lunar magnetic field by the solar wind, based on data taken at several Apollo landing sites.
