Saw these solar power flower things. Seems not a good use of space to me unless you really really need the benefit of pointing them at the sun and moving - I doubt we need that.

Solar Opposites looks so much like a Rick & Morty look-alike trying to get onto the bandwagon. I'm not sure if I should watch it. Is it good?

The Holy Mountain (1973)
The Alchemist assembles together a group of people from all walks of life to represent the planets in the solar system. The occult adept's intention is to put his recruits through strange mystical rites and divest them of their worldly baggage before embarking on a trip to Lotus Island. There they ascend the Holy Mountain to displace the immortal gods who secretly rule the universe.

The solar PV story is pretty incredible. China's long term strategic plan (with all the negative things that went with it) is bearing amazing fruit that's changing the economic proposition around the world, especially in the poorer (colonised) global South: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8JFCJP70rg…

Finally getting around to trying to do something with the shattered solar panel I ended up with when the couriers failed twice to not smash part of my order. The PV layer under the tempered glass is still intact and functional, so my plan is to fill the impact point with CA glue, then coat the entire top with urethane to improve its weather resistance, and ultimately use it to directly power a PTC heating element in a shed. *Any* additional free heat in that building is a plus, and *any* ben…

If you are an anti-fascist, you are against petroleum. Petroleum funds fascism globally. It is at the heart of the military industrial complex driving global imperialism, from both the US and Russia. Motonormitivity is fascist, both in it's elitist roots and in it's ties to historical fascism (Hitler hated bikes, just on principle). Oil is militarism.
Oil is the dominant resource which drives war, both in terms of it being the primary spoil wars are fought over and in terms of fueling the military vehicles and weapons that carry out those wars. Practically every war since (and including) WWII has been over oil. Genocides are carried out to secure oil. Gaza is over oil, in more ways than one.
Oil is the absolute enemy, and AI is simply an extension of that: an attempt to atomize us so we can't resist the oil-centric global order, one last grasp at the control over our lives oil has given to those whose power is now threatened by a solar punk future.

Western Australia just hit a major milestone: solar and wind powered 100% of demand on its isolated grid.
Battery storage made it possible, keeping the system stable while renewables did all the work. With coal plants set to retire by decade's end, the state is proving large-scale grids can run entirely on clean energy.

Solar and wind reach 100 pct of demand in biggest isolated grid, as batteries allow it to keep its thermals on
Wind and solar meet all of "net demand" in W.A., host of world's biggest isolated grid, as growing fleet of big batteries give market operator room to keep its thermals on.

Neighbors with solar panels can now trade energy directly with each other, thanks to a breakthrough cloud-based system from Washington State University.
The platform lets communities share power locally, cutting energy costs by up to 12% in testing. It's a glimpse of how neighborhoods could become mini power grids, keeping solar energy local instead of sending it back to utilities.

Community-based energy trading system for home solar-plus-storage

Boiling oceans and compressional tectonics on emerging ocean worlds

Boiling oceans and compressional tectonics on emerging ocean worlds - Nature Astronomy
Several moons in the outer Solar System have oceans encased beneath an ice shell. If the ice shell thins, ocean pressure decreases. Modelling shows that on Mimas, Enceladus, and Miranda, the ocean can boil. On larger bodies, instead, compressional forces form tectonic features.

This system captures solar energy and, rather than converting it into electricity, uses it to produce hydrogen fuel on demand—even in darkness.
The new system provided twofold benefits: it made solar energy available even when the sun isn't shining, and it eliminated the need to transport hydrogen in dangerous, high-pressure tanks.

Watched Solar Opposites, a cartoon started by Justin Roiland like Rick and Morty with lots in common.
Including Roiland being kicked out after a couple of seasons for his crimes, and being replaced. This time not with an impersonator but just a new more british actor. Stayed pretty much in vibe with his style though.
Four aliens stuck on earth, plus the adventures of the tiny people that one of the aliens shrunk to keep in his wall like an ant farm. And the Silver Cops.
Pretty good fun. Watched the five seasons on Netflix in a couple of weeks. Apparently there's another if I search or wait.
Interesting how the machine can just keep churning it out even when the lead folks disappear. That's the ideal I suppose. Create the show then let it run on without you.

Is There Enough Metal to Replace Oil? - CounterPunch.org

Is There Enough Metal to Replace Oil?
A key issue for the accomplishment of renewables is power storage because of the impact of wind and solar intermittency, both of which are highly intermittent. Most studies assume gas will be the buffer for intermittency. Other than using fossil fuel such as gas as a buffer, an adequate power storage system to handle intermittency will require 30 times more material than what electric vehicles require with current plans, meaning the scope is much larger than the current paradigm allows.

The origami wheel that could explore lunar caves
Beneath the moon's cratered surface lie networks of lava tubes and deep pits, natural caves that could shelter future lunar bases from cosmic radiation and wild temperature swings. These underground structures represent some of the most scientifically valuable areas in the solar system, but they come with the very real challenge of simply getting there.

Researchers just cracked a major clean energy challenge: producing hydrogen at scale without using precious land or freshwater.
The University of Exeter team simulated a floating solar system in Oman that desalinates seawater and generates 1,755 kg of hydrogen daily at $9.5/kg. It's a game-changer for hot-climate regions.

Off-grid floating PV-desalination system for hydrogen production
Scientists have simulated a solar-powered hydrogen production system comprising 32,050 photovoltaic panels, a pumping system, a seawater reverse-osmosis desalination unit, an electrolyzer, and a hydrogen storage tank. Operation of the system in Oman could potentially yield a levelized cost of electricity of $0.05/kWh and a levelized cost of hydrogen of $9.5/kg.

Australia is now far ahead of Canada. Why…?
"Australia’s long, complicated and difficult energy transition is finally working. As our recent research suggests, if these trends continue – and nothing new goes wrong – we should begin to see lower retail electricity bills by mid-2026. As more coal plants close and new transmission and storage infrastructure is delivered, electricity prices could rise again. But overall, shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.”
