Two simple chilling facts 1. There's four orders of magnitude more solar energy available than we need to power civilization. 2. Most of the emissions that are causing civilization to collapse are caused by fossil fuel industry and transport itself. The conclusion that fossil fuels are the main enemy of humanity is not far fetched at all at this point.

It goes into federal hands smh These Utilities May Be Wildly Overestimating the AI Boomat Public Expense This story was originally published by Grist in partnership with WABE, Atlantas NPR station, and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. As more and more data centers crop up throughout Georgia and the Southeast, a recent study finds they may need less energy than the industry and utilities have been predicting. That could have substantial implications for Trump would actually like if the world ends with him. Thats how toxic uncontrolled is. "The Trump administration hates science and science-based policies in general look at its war on vaccines, which will end up causing an enormous number of deaths. Its assault on universities threatens the best scientific research centers in the world..in the case of energy, its destructive policy largely reflects the corrupting influence of big money.

"What are the biggest climate polluters near you" The UK governments proposed 3p-a-mile electric vehicle tax lays bare its true nature: it is a Treasury revenue-raising exercise masquerading as environmental policy. Far from a green initiative, this mileage-based levy exposes a systemic geographic and political disparity that disproportionately punishes rural Scotland and Wales to the benefit of London and the South East. Consider the stark regional financial disparities. Under this proposal, drivers in densely populated, heavily polluted urban centres with extensive public transport networks, such as London, will pay an average of just 33 a year. Conversely, drivers in rural Scotland and Waleswho rely entirely on their vehicles for essential travel across vast geographiesface averages of over 156 a year, with a standard 8,500-mile driver paying upwards of 255.
What this mileage-based tax completely ignores is the environmental heavy lifting performed by these rural landscapes. The extensive forests, mountains, and peatlands of Scotland and Wales act as vital carbon sinks for the entire UK. UK woodlands currently hold roughly 150 million tonnes of carbon in their biomass and sequester millions more annually. Furthermore, through the process of evapotranspiration, these vast green spaces act as natural air conditioning, significantly cooling the wider UK climate and regulating regional temperatures. To understand the inherent value of these rural spaces, one only has to look at the continent. European cities are currently investing millions in urban tree-planting initiatives, desperately trying to mitigate the 'Urban Heat Island' effect that traps emissions and drives up deadly urban temperatures. The irony here is profound: a tax purportedly born of environmental concern now financially penalises rural drivers who live amongst and navigate natural carbon sinks, whilst effectively offering a massive discount to drivers contributing to the very urban heat islands that the rest of Europe is spending fortunes to cool. However, the inequity extends far beyond the roads and into the very power grid that charges these vehicles. Both Scotland and Wales are significant net exporters of electricity. Through vast wind, hydro, and renewable energy infrastructure, they generate considerably more power than they consume, exporting the surplus directly to England to meet the massive energy demands of cities like London. Despite powering the UK, neither Scottish nor Welsh consumers receive a discount on their electricity bills. In fact, due to the structure of the national grid, rural consumers frequently pay higher standing charges for their electricity than the consumers in the urban areas that absorb their exported energy. This presents a stark picture of two UK nations being disproportionately squeezed. They generate the clean electricity and their landscapes absorb the carbon, yet their residents are forced to pay the highest transport taxes and energy premiums simply because of their geography. The ultimate pay-off of this policy failure is highly political. For decades, a prevailing Westminster narrative has accused Scotland and Wales of being heavily subsidised by England. Yet, when one examines the actual flow of resourcesclean energy flowing south, whilst punitive mileage taxes and high energy standing charges flow north and westthe narrative is exposed as nonsense. Policies like the 3p-a-mile EV tax serve as undeniable fuel for Scottish and Welsh independence movements, providing empirical evidence of an economic union that extracts resources from the rural periphery merely to subsidise the urban core.

Agrivoltaics as a systems innovation: Multi-dimensional benefits from global studies across climate, agriculture, energy, and ecosystems. "From this review, it is projected that implementing agrivoltaics across selected crops and countries could potentially result in an additional agricultural yield of over 1800 million tonnes globally. The maximum theoretical nutritional value of this produce is sufficient to meet the dietary requirements of more than 2.1 billion people annually. This presents a significant opportunity to the world in its fight against hunger"
