🚨 CHINA IS RACING TO BUILD A SPACE SOLAR... POWER PLANT THAT COULD BEAM ELECTRICITY FROM ORBIT TO EARTH. Scientists at Xidian University have successfully tested a ground-based system that can wirelessly transmit kilowatt-level power over 100 meters using microwaves. Their ultimate goal is far more ambitious: placing large solar power stations in geostationary orbit (36,000 km up), where sunlight is available 24/7 with no weather or atmosphere blocking it. The project, called Zhuri (“chasing the sun”), uses mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto solar panels, converts the electricity into microwaves, and beams it down to a receiving antenna (rectenna) on Earth. Why this matters: • In space, solar energy is up to 6 times more efficient than on Earth because there’s no night, clouds, or atmospheric filtering • A single large space solar station could theoretically generate gigawatts of continuous clean power enough for millions of homes • The team has already proven the system can beam power to multiple moving targets at once • China is now among the world leaders in this technology, alongside the US and Japan The deeper implication: Space-based solar power has been a dream for decades because it could provide truly baseload renewable energy. While the technical and financial challenges are enormous (building massive structures in orbit, precise microwave beaming, and safety), steady progress like this brings the concept closer to reality. If successful, it could fundamentally change how humanity generates and distributes energy moving power collection off the planet entirely. Near-term applications could include wirelessly charging satellites or powering future lunar bases. Do you think space-based solar power will become a major energy source in the coming decades, or will it stay too expensive and complex?

REVEALED: How KETRACO Left Kenya’s Sh300B Power Grid UNINSURED... for 5 Months — All Thanks to Kickback Cartels! KETRACO, the custodian of Sh300B in national power assets — from Suswa to Isinya to Mariakani — has been running UNINSURED for 5 MONTHS, exposing taxpayers to a potential economic disaster. 🤯 A tender awarded to Fidelity Insurance collapsed after outrageous kickback demands, with insiders claiming Fidelity even returned the money rather than join the racket. Now a shady “joint venture” with Madison Insurance is being pushed through backdoor deals… all allegedly engineered by an ethnic cartel inside KETRACO’s board and HR, led by GM Linda Korir and director Mercylynate Rotich. With power stations, lines, and even aircraft fully exposed, one accident could cripple the country — yet senior officials remain silent as investigations heat up. Kenya’s energy backbone is hanging by a thread… all because of greed.

In 1995, 77.1% of global primary energy was provided... by fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil). As of 2024, 76.4% still comes from fossil fuels. That's a 0.7 percentage point drop in 30 years. World governments have spent TRILLIONS of dollars on “green” energy projects, and it has barely made a dent in the energy mix (note, these figures are based on the substitution method for fair comparison, so it slightly lowers fossil fuel figures). The fact is that renewable energy sources, like them or not, are largely add-ons to existing energy sources (primarily fossil fuel and nuclear power) that provide us transient savings in optimal conditions. That may change in the future with battery backup as they become cheaper, but that still won't address the fact that oil is STILL going to be needed for lubricants, plastics, fertilizers, etc. Oil is the backbone of modern society, so even if it were to no longer to be used as fuel, it will be used in another capacity and wars will be fought over it.show more

❗️⚡️🇪🇸🇵🇹🇫🇷🇦🇩 - On April 28, 2025, a significant power... outage continues to affect Spain, Portugal, Andorra, and parts of France, with no immediate resolution in sight. The blackout has disrupted electricity supply in major cities, including Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona, as well as communication networks, impacting internet and mobile services across the affected regions. Government authorities have not yet issued an official statement, though Spain’s Ministry of the Interior has urged the public to remain calm while investigations are underway. Preliminary reports suggest the outage may stem from a failure in the interconnected European power grid, potentially exacerbated by recent high demand and integration challenges with renewable energy sources. Energy experts note that the European Network of Transmission System Operators (ENTSO-E) is working to stabilize the grid and restore full service. Social media reports indicate growing public concern, with users highlighting disruptions to daily activities and businesses. Authorities are prioritizing critical infrastructure, such as hospitals and emergency services, to mitigate the impact while a coordinated response is developed.show more

With World Health Organization (WHO)'s support, Ministry of Health-... Uganda has started a vaccine trial against #Ebola Sudan virus today. The trial will enroll contacts of people with the disease, and contacts of the contacts. This vaccination trial was initiated with record speed, only three days since the outbreak was declared, while ensuring full compliance with international and national regulatory and ethical requirements. It is also the first trial to assess the clinical efficacy of a vaccine against Ebola Sudan virus disease. This trial demonstrates the importance of investing in R&D for vaccines and treatments and outbreak response preparedness, as well as partnerships. We thank Makerere University University and UVRI for their leadership, as well as Africa CDC, CEPI, EU HERA and IDRC | CRDI for their collaboration on this lifesaving effort. WHO will continue supporting the government in a comprehensive response to bring the outbreak under control.show more

🇮🇶 NEW: Multiple unidentified drones have struck the Khor... Mor gas field in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, the second attack on the site in less than a week. • Local sources report casualties and say at least three drones hit the facility. • All operations are now suspended, confirmed by the KRG Ministry of Natural Resources and Energy. • Khor Mor is one of the most important energy sites in northern Iraq. It is 70% owned by UAE companies Dana Gas and Crescent Petroleum, in partnership with the Kurdistan Regional Government. The motivation and the actor behind the strike are still unclear, but repeated attacks on a strategic UAE-KRG energy asset will have major implications for the region’s gas supplies, foreign investment in northern Iraq, and the already fragile security situation in Sulaymaniyah.

🚨 THE ENERGY TECHNOLOGY THAT COULD POWER CIVILIZATION FOR... THE NEXT 100 YEARS ISN'T FUSION. Molten Salt Reactors use molten fluoride or chloride salts as coolant and in some designs, the nuclear fuel itself is dissolved directly into that salt. This is very different from traditional reactors. Instead of solid fuel rods sitting in water under high pressure, these systems run at much higher temperatures but at atmospheric pressure, which dramatically reduces the risk of explosions or meltdowns. The salt can flow over solid fuel, or the fuel can be mixed directly into the coolant. Both approaches are being actively developed. Why this matters: • MSRs operate at high temperatures, making them potentially much more efficient at generating electricity and process heat • Low-pressure operation makes them inherently safer than conventional water-cooled reactors • Some designs can burn existing nuclear waste or use thorium as fuel • The technology could support everything from advanced power generation to hydrogen production and industrial heat The deeper implication: For decades, nuclear power has been dominated by one basic design concept. Molten salt reactors represent a fundamental rethink using a liquid that can act as both coolant and fuel. This opens the door to reactors that are safer, more flexible, and potentially capable of solving some of nuclear energy’s biggest historical challenges (waste, fuel efficiency, and public perception of safety). While still in development, MSRs are one of the most promising pathways for next-generation nuclear power. We may be looking at the early stages of a genuinely new chapter in how humanity generates clean, reliable energy. Do you think molten salt reactors will become a major part of the future energy mix, or will traditional designs continue to dominate?

May this young man's Soul Rest in Peace. The... carnage continues due to unprecedented levels of greed, dereliction of duty, and lack of accountability. The funds are actually there and have been provided over the past decade. The Ministry of Finance Ministry of Finance has released about UGX 100 Billion since 2019 for a Department of Government whose main responsibility and objective should be prevention of road crashes. These funds have been spent on activities with very minimal impact on road safety. This information has been shared with IGG, Office of the Auditor General Uganda, Criminal Investigations Directorate-UPF. How do you explained the death of a young man in a fatal road crash that caused the incineration of the vehicle which he was driving? He must have been driving in one of the best motor vehicles in this country given the wealth of his family. He was driving a motor vehicle which probably had good safety features on a smooth road without pot holes. It is easy to draw conclusions like he was speeding, he was fatigued, he lost control of his motor vehicle, he made errors, e.t.c. Whereas all that may be true, did he deserve to die in such a gruesome way for those errors in judgement? The answer is a BIG NO. The truth is government failed him in so many ways. At the center of modern day road safety management is recognition that errors made by road users (drivers, motorcyclists, cyclist and pedestrians) MUST NOT lead to their demise. Here is a situation he found himself in: Concrete Barriers on a road that encourages high speed. Who has the onus to remove this hazard? Government. I could have perished in the same circumstances a few years back before the completion of the KEE on the way to the Airport. It was a rainy early morning at about 5:00am and I drove through barriers which were made of plastic. So why were these not made of plastic? Was there a provision for lighting on that section? If not, it should have been there. This is what we mean when we say roads should be forgiving. Apart from their design, road sides are the major reference here. The road should have forgiven him for this error if it had plastic reflective barriers. These kind of barriers would have caught his attention and he would have stopped his car instead of killing him. Were the traffic lights functional? Why was there no hazard signage or warning of any sort since there were barriers in middle of the road? This section of the road is built as an expressway and as such encourages speeding especially at any time beyond midnight. There are no traffic calming measures in place yet it is freely used by pedestrians and Boda-Bodaz like any other city road. Roads are supposed to be designed and constructed bearing in mind the activities that take place around them (Land Use). Interventions to control speed must be implemented if there is a high volume of different road users. They would have got his attention and he would not have died. A glaring example of contractors that do not care about road safety is on the section of Kampala-Masaka in the swampy section of Lwera. The Concrete Barriers are there and in places where they are not, there is nothing preventing a motor vehicle falling off into the swamp. Not even a rope. UNTIL THE DAY WHEN THE LEADERSHIP OF THIS COUNTRY ACCEPTS THAT ROAD CRASHES ARE PREVENTABLE AND PARLIAMENT STARTS DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILTY ON ROAD SAFETY, THIS CARNAGE WILL CONTINUE. ACCEPTING THERE IS A PROBLEM IS THE FIRST STEP TO SOLVING IT OR MANAGING IT. TOMORROW IT MIGHT BE ME OR YOU.

Dubai is known for its iconic buildings and wide... city roads, making it a city of big things. Even frequent travelers are always in awe of the city’s grandeur. Imagine what Dubai must be like for your 75-year-old mom! I took her to Burj Khalifa, where we met an Ugandan at the security checkpoint who greeted us in Luganda. Mom was thrilled to see someone from Uganda. At the Marina, we met an Indian family from Uganda who spoke Luganda, which was quite interesting. It seems Luganda was their code language until we boarded. Their conversation was pleasant, and we greeted them later as we disembarked. I thought I should share an update. Thanks for the love on these streets. I am happy that some people have reached out to me about organizing an annual trip to give their elders an experience of a lifetime. This could become a movement where 10 to 20 folks are given smiles.show more

🚨 SCIENTISTS MAY HAVE FOUND A WAY TO “BOTTLE... THE SUN.” Researchers at UC Santa Barbara created a new type of liquid molecular battery that stores sunlight directly inside chemical bonds then releases the energy later as heat. In simple terms: It works like a rechargeable solar fuel. The material absorbs sunlight during the day… stores the energy inside tiny molecules… then releases it later even years afterward. Researchers say the system can: • store more energy per kilogram than lithium-ion batteries • remain stable for years • repeatedly recharge and discharge • even generate enough heat to boil water The fascinating part? The molecule changes shape when exposed to sunlight similar to how photochromic sunglasses darken outdoors. But instead of storing darkness… It stores solar energy itself. Why this matters: One of the biggest problems with renewable energy is storage. Solar panels stop producing power at night. Traditional batteries are expensive, heavy, and degrade over time. But molecular solar thermal storage could eventually allow: • off-grid heating • nighttime solar energy use • portable thermal batteries • rooftop solar heat storage • new forms of renewable infrastructure Humanity may be moving toward a future where sunlight itself becomes a storable material.

Elon Musk just identified the next crisis in AI.... It’s not a shortage. It’s an unusable surplus. Musk: “By the end of this year, chip production will outpace the ability to turn chips on.” For three years the world was starved for silicon. Every lab, every government, every company racing to secure the chips that determine who wins the AI era. That bottleneck is ending. A new one is replacing it. Musk: “The chips are going to be piling up and not be able to be turned on.” Billions of dollars of the most advanced AI hardware ever built. Sitting dark. Not because the chips don’t work. Because there isn’t enough electricity to run them. You can’t print a power plant the way you print a chip. The fabrication plants scaled. The grid didn’t. And now the most valuable hardware in history is about to hit a wall that no amount of capital can instantly solve. Compute is about to become abundant. Electricity is about to become the most valuable commodity on earth. Three years obsessing over silicon yields. Physics doesn’t care about your chip architecture if your data center can’t pull enough megawatts. The war isn’t about who can manufacture the most silicon anymore. It’s about who has the raw power to plug it in. Whoever solves energy first doesn’t just win. They own the infrastructure everyone else needs to compete. The losers stack useless chips in warehouses waiting for power that never arrives. We built a trillion dollar engine and forgot the fuel. That’s the AI race right now.show more

Dear Min of Trade |Rwanda ! Greetings from the... community! I vividly remember that a few years ago the government introduced potato collection centres as part of a broader effort to address the long-standing imbalance between farm-gate prices and market prices in Kigali. The objective was straightforward; organize the value chain, reduce the influence of middlemen, improve farmers’ bargaining power and ensure that consumers accessed potatoes at fair and stable prices. Today, however, the situation raises important questions. We are witnessing what appears to be a bumper harvest, yet farmers are struggling to sell their produce at prices that reflect the effort and investment they have made. According to reports from Kigali Today, in Nyabihu District, a kilogram of the highest-quality Kinigi potatoes is selling for around Rwf 550, while the same potatoes can fetch as much as Rwf 1,300 per kilogram in Kigali. Traders are reportedly only purchasing in lots of 100 kilograms because there is an oversupply, and those with private vehicles are taking advantage of the price difference by transporting potatoes directly to urban markets. This is where modern technology, particularly artificial intelligence and data analytics, could play a transformative role. AI can help forecast production volumes, anticipate market demand, identify supply bottlenecks, optimize transport routes, and provide real-time pricing information to farmers, traders, and policymakers. Such insights would enable better planning before harvests, reducing the likelihood of oversupply in one area while shortages exist elsewhere. The bigger question is; what happened to the systems that were established to stabilize this market? Are the collection centres still functioning as intended? If they are, why are farmers still facing such significant price disparities? If they are not, what lessons have been learned? A high harvest should be a source of prosperity for farmers, not financial distress. As Rwanda continues embracing digital transformation, strengthening agricultural market intelligence should become a priority to ensure that both producers and consumers benefit from a more efficient, transparent, and equitable value chain.

‼️🇺🇦🇫🇷🇩🇪🇹🇷🇬🇧 BIG | Four countries are ready to send... peacekeeping forces to Ukraine. Mikhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the President of Ukraine, stated that France, Germany, Turkey, and the United Kingdom are ready to send peacekeeping forces to Ukraine after the war ends. According to him, ensuring peace without international partners is impossible, and the ongoing war is already forcing Europe towards a strict transformation: if the European Union wants to survive under the new reality, it will have to give up illusions and become more militaristic. Turkey has previously named three conditions for sending its troops: a complete ceasefire, clear mission objectives and mandate, and the distribution of responsibilities among countries. Without these conditions, as stated in Ankara, the mission will not be carried out. Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the EU's plans "fantasies," and Vladimir Putin declared that any foreign military present in Ukraine will be considered a "legitimate target."

🚨 DIAMOND IS ABOUT TO REPLACE SILICON IN NEXT-GEN... CHIPS. Scientists are now producing large single-crystal CVD diamond wafers that could revolutionize electronics. Diamond conducts heat 5× better than copper and over 10× better than silicon while also handling extreme voltages, high frequencies, and radiation. Why this matters: • Thermal Superpower: Diamond acts as its own heat sink, solving one of the biggest problems in high-power chips • Ultra Wide Bandgap: Handles massive voltage and extreme temperatures without breaking down • High Frequencies: Electrons move incredibly fast, perfect for 6G, radar, and advanced telecom • Radiation Hardness: Ideal for satellites, space tech, and nuclear applications The deeper implication is massive: We’re at the early stages of a materials revolution. As silicon hits its physical limits with heat and power, diamond one of the most extraordinary materials in nature could power the next era of AI chips, electric vehicles, and aerospace systems. What do you think will diamond semiconductors become mainstream in the 2030s? Follow for more frontier materials science and future technology.show more

*SEVERE geomagnetic storm possible with U.S. aurora borealis display*... *Northern lights possible at mid-latitudes early Sunday morning or Sunday night* *Specifics TBD – map coming later today* On Friday evening Eastern time, a major solar flare occurred from sunspot #4100. A sunspot is a bruise-like discoloration on the sun that throbs and pulsates with energy. Following the solar flare, which is a flash of light and radiation, a significant CME — or coronal mass ejection — was hurled directly toward Earth. Imagine a shockwave of magnetism and high-energy particles rippling through space like an interstellar tsunami. It’s heading for us at speeds around 1,200 miles per second — that’s very fast! We know it’s Earth-directed because our sensors indicate a “full halo” CME. See the solar material appearing to fan out in all directions? That’s an indicator it’s Earth-bound. It’s like if a train is coming right at you — you’d only see the train getting bigger. Once this electromagnetic shockwave reaches Earth, the energy will be absorbed and dissipated by our magnetic field. It will be transformed into visible light — the aurora. Since there’s a LOT of energy, we’ll probably get the aurora borealis (the northern lights) down to the mid latitudes. This could mean parts of the central United States, the Midwest, the Mid-Atlantic and perhaps as far south as northern California. There’s even a chance that parts of the Mid-South could see the aurora IF a direct impact occurs and the orientation of Earth’s magnetic field cooperates. Scientists at the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado are working to iron that out.show more

‼️🇯🇵🇨🇳 BREAKING - Due to the threat from China,... Japan will allocate an additional $5.4 billion in its 2025 budget for missiles and ships. Japan’s government has approved an additional $5.4 billion in 2025 to purchase extra ships and anti-ship systems. The corresponding document was published by Japan’s Ministry of Defense. The supplementary budget is allocated separately from the main defense funding. Specifically, $370 million is allocated for the acquisition of SSM-2 anti-ship missiles and Type-12 coastal defense missile systems. It is noteworthy that the missiles planned for delivery are not long-range versions — their maximum range will be up to 250 km. Japan will also purchase Type-03 Kai medium-range surface-to-air missile systems. The systems will be deployed on Yonaguni Island, located about 110 km from Taiwan. In total, Japan’s Ministry of Defense plans to acquire 29 batteries of the new surface-to-air missile systems. At the same time, about $800 million will be directed primarily toward accelerating orders for the construction of military vessels — specifically, multi-purpose frigates and submarines. In addition, part of the budget will accelerate purchases of UH-2 multi-role helicopters produced by Subaru. It should be recalled that the adjustment of Japan’s military budget is taking place in the context of the threat coming from China, especially following the national-security comments of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who emphasized that a Chinese attack on Taiwan would threaten Japan itself, and that Tokyo might become a party to this conflict. For this reason, China has intensified its propaganda campaign, accusing Japan of returning to militarism and imperialist approaches. Moreover, in recent days, incidents involving increased activity of Chinese forces near Japanese territory have become more frequent. In response to China’s increased violations of Japan’s borders, both at sea and in the air, Japan’s Ministry of Defense announced the deployment of Type-03 air-defense batteries and electronic warfare systems on Yonaguni Island, 110 km from Taiwan — a move that sparked even greater dissatisfaction in Beijing. Japan’s multi-billion-dollar special boost, aimed at rapidly strengthening its military capabilities, suggests that geopolitical tectonic shifts may soon begin in East Asia and across the Indo-Pacific basin. Furthermore, the strengthening of Yonaguni Island — and Japan’s effort to turn it into an “unsinkable aircraft carrier” — signals that Japan does not intend to passively wait while China begins its struggle for state hegemony through the use of hard power, which would primarily affect neighboring states.
