Austrian agrivoltaics provider EWS has reported a 14% increase in winter wheat yield at its Sonnenfeld research site in Bruck an der Leitha compared with a control area without PV modules.
Earlier this year, Sun’Agri in France reported an increase in yield for grapes and in California, increase in endangered native wildflowers.
Agrivoltaics for the win! 🏆💚💛☀️

California solar panels tower over canals in Turlock, proving a win-win that saves water, produces clean energy, and improves local water quality.

6 papers came out this spring and summer about breakthroughs in perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell technology. Perovskite can catch higher energy light than silicon and so improves energy capture/efficiency.
Key to the improvements shown in the papers is durability with thousands of hours of field testing in ambient environments as opposed to glove box tests. Papers listed below:

"Saudis tell European refiners they’ll get no crude next month"
The world has to transition to #GreenEnergy and it is transitioning to Green #Energy (too slowly)
But
Not like this
Sudden major supply disruptions are not easily handled
This is an "oh shit" moment
And it's not just about #Europe
And it's not a one-off
Alarmism, like complacency, is a mental trap
I don't want to do it
However...

If you are into renewable energy and offshore wind farms, you might find this blog post interesting. It's written in some heathen language full of mysterious diacritics, but at least there are photos:

For those that keep saying wind turbines can't be reused or recycled need to read this
"The analysis found a total 99.9% material recovery – calculating that 79.5% of the wind farm’s components were recycled and 20.4% were reused or retained as spare parts, keeping nearly all material out of landfills."
100% of the recycling and component retention took place in the UK, supporting domestic green jobs and at least 10 supply chain companies.

Every Climate Change Denier who has ever held office from 1970 to today should be charged in connection to every death climate change causes.

After a 20-year roller coaster ride, the US startup Aptera is gearing up for series production of EVs that can run on their own solar power.

The European Union should push stronger for building more data centers and clean energy. Data centers require a lot of energy which could be provided from clean energy sources.
For this, Iceland could become Europe's digital infrastructure capital as it has strong privacy laws, established ecosystem, vast sources of clean energy.

In Minnesota, one wind turbine stopped producing only electricity and started making something else using nothing but wind, water, and the air around it

Replying to
Sorry but if you're against wind turbines or against solar or against nuclear power or its waste you're regressive.
I try to and hope to be progressive.
Doing the stuff the fossil fuel lobby wants from you is regressive.

Quoting
My father-in-law is a distributor for these solar roofing panels and gifted us some of them for Christmas and we're finally getting the ball rolling on getting them installed. Our roof is in major need of repair so two birds one stone... And we SHOULD be able to produce a surplus due to our South facing roof in the Colorado sun and we're going to put in some backup batteries. I'm so excited to see how this all turns out!
