Yesss, especially in arid regions, argovoltaics is very promising ^‿^ The problem is often more political, most energy is needed where most people live, that is, in regions with good conditions for agriculture. As is also written in Wikipedia, agrovoltaics could be good for some plants even there, but reclaiming desertified land with agrovoltaics sounds much more exciting.

Is it only me, or are the images/thumbnails not working on slrpnk.net for everyone?

I access it from Firefox on Windows.

Oh, I thought they already left. So there will be even more damage to global health programs now...

I wish the USAns can do it peacefully. But I feel desperate about anything that will work against their fascist government and business.

Honestly - however grim it might sound - I kinda hope so. The way US acts internationally, a civil war would at least involve one country, not many.

I know some amazing portals in Polish.

One about climate: https://naukaoklimacie.pl/

Another about "nature" in general (probably "environment" would be a more fitting translation here). I even wrote an article for them at the end of my Master's (they had it go through a senior researcher later to check the quality) ^‿^ https://naukadlaprzyrody.pl/

On both of the abovementioned portals you get scientists writing pop-science, answering questions, debunking myths, etc.

We also have "SmogLab" that used to focus just on smog issues, now is overall environmental. But I think for people from outside of Poland, especially coming from places with relatively good air quality (e.g. Scandinavia, but in this comparison, even all of Western Europe), the smog part might be especially interesting: It became a bit more of a news portal, though. https://smoglab.pl/smog/

Generally, great stuff, keep ongoing.

Still, the map of the "Industrial Workers of the World" makes me go XD

The hill in the photo looks ugly, tbh. Still, much better (and livelier) than the landscape after oilsands or brown coal extraction.

Preferably, most grid-connected solar panels would be on buildings, deserts, and postindustrial land. But in the face of the climate catastrophe, the South China hills are also fine.

Totally agree, our agriculture is so primitive, in the sense of not being sophisticated at all (just plough, remove everything that lives there, plant grass, cut early, repeat). Great links. Thanks!
