☀️ California is putting solar panels over its water canals, solving two crises at once. The panels shade the water, slashing evaporation. The water cools the panels, so they make more power. 💧 Cover all 4,000 miles? 63 billion gallons saved a year, plus 1/6 of the state's power.... show more

🌾 French farmers are growing crops and electricity on the exact same field. Smart solar canopies float above the plants, tilting in real time to shade them in heatwaves and shelter them from hail. ☀️ Better harvests, less water, and a second income from selling power. ✨ #omgfacts #France #SolarPower #Innovation

💧 Scotland is quietly killing the bottled water industry by giving away some of the world's cleanest tap water for free. 100+ refill stations in train stations, trails, and town squares. Each one tracks refills and counts the plastic bottles saved. 🏴 Premium water. Zero cost. Zero waste. ✨ #omgfacts #Scotland #Sustainability #PlasticFree #ZeroWaste

💧 A hidden ocean under America's heartland is vanishing, and it feeds the whole country. The Ogallala Aquifer supplies ~30% of all US irrigation water. But it's pumped out far faster than rain refills it. In parts of Texas and Kansas it's dropped over 150 feet. 🌾 Refilling takes millennia. ✨ #omgfacts #Water #Environment

Elon Musk: If you covered the entire cleared area around a nuclear power station with solar panels, the solar panels would often produce more electricity than the nuclear plant itself. “If you take a nuclear power station and the whole clear area that's around it, it ends up being quite a bit of land. If you carpeted that land with solar panels, which would generate more, the nuclear power station or the solar panels? And usually, it's the solar panels. Now of course, you could always amp up the nuclear power station, but just taking the way things currently are, that's sort of an interesting data point. It's just to give you a sense of how much energy is hitting the Earth from the sun.” From: Interview at the EEI Annual Convention, June 11, 2015

The solar panels destroyed by Israel's army are used to provide the Lebanese town of Debl with electricity, as well as supply power to its water station. The IDF says the actions seen in the video do not align with their values. 🔗

🌕⚡ What if the Moon powered the entire planet? Engineers have proposed wrapping the Moon's equator in a 6,800-mile belt of solar panels, built by robots, beaming clean energy back to Earth 24/7. The future of energy might not be on Earth at all. 🚀

Solar power today costs 50% more than it did around 2020, even though solar panels themselves keep getting cheaper. John points out that people often confuse the cost of panels with the cost of power. "A solar panel doesn't get you what you want. You want electrons at the location that load is at." But delivering electricity requires land, labor, transmission, and capital, all of which are inflationary.

🏔️ Utah's mountains are almost bare this spring, and the whole state is now in a drought emergency. Snowpack hit its lowest since 1930. Just 2.7 inches of water, when 14 is normal. 🚱 The scary part? 95% of Utah's drinking water comes from that snow. This year it fell as rain. ✨ #omgfacts #Utah #Drought

🚨✡️How did the Resnicks obtain the majority rights of the tax payer funded Kern Water Bank in California in 1994, which they use towards their industrial farm to produce pistachios and pomegranates? ✡️The Resnicks use over $150 billion gallons of water per year towards their private farm, while only allowing for 5% of urban water system needs to be met! Their farm uses over 80% of the state water while only contributing 2% towards GDP! They sell back the water to California for a profit! SOUNDS ODDLY FAMILIAR! ✡️💵 AND THERE’S MORE ⤵️

Elon Musk predicts that more than 90% of Earth's power will eventually come from solar with batteries "Satellites are just solar panels and a battery. That’s how all satellites work. With the Starlink satellite network, there’s 7,000 (now ~10K) satellites orbiting the Earth, and all they use is solar panels and a battery My prediction is, long-term, a majority of power on Earth - in fact, eventually it might be like 90% or more- will be solar panels with batteries That's my prediction. My predictions have a pretty good track record" Starlink already proves it works at massive scale in space

HAPPENING NOW: Day 6 of Boyle Heights cold storage fire: We will see several phases next week, but of most concern is what could happen to the roof of the structure after solar panels burned and the weight of thousands of gallons of water have airdropped on that roof.

Nearly 4,000 acres of prime Australian farmland are now buried beneath a sea of more than a million solar panels. Apparently, expensive and unreliable solar power is more important than growing the food necessary to keep everyone alive now.
