The Green Pioneer, "the world's first green ammonia dual-powered vessel," tied up this morning in Boston's Reserved Channel.

"This 75-metre vessel bypasses transitional fuels like biofuels and liquefied natural gases by converting standard engines to run on a green ammonia mix.... [and] is paving the way for a zero-carbon future at sea."

#Portugal top for wind power
#Renewable sources accounted for 71.4% of electricity produced in mainland Portugal in July, a month in which wind and #solar power represented almost half of the national electricity mix. https://18n.theportugalnews.com/news/2025-08-13/portugal-top-for-wind-power/600499

People have short memories. This has been tried before in #SouthAustralia

Look I know it's quite a windy state but small scale wind #energy fails everywhere because it doesn't scale and would be too costly compared with other #renewable options. Someone's going to lose money

Let’s invest in local storage & distribution please.

Using a wholesale provider lets us see every day how supply & price fluctuate with conditions. There’s so much opportunity to tweak production & storage to meet demand - without coal. It’s especially clear how important wind power is. More of that too please.

Could local governments pay a role in this?

One of the first players in this market is the Finnish startup Polar Night Energy: https://polarnightenergy.com If you do not know what sand batteries are, this article explains them quite well: https://natnavi.com/science-behind-sand-batteries/ #Renewables

@r_degrowth

This report is is a useful introductory resource for people that start to doubt about green growth and might be open to think about a just energy transition.
Maybe this is the main target audience, because business-as-usual compatible green growth ideologies are still dominating the political discourse, also of mainstream green parties (e.g. in Germany).

The decision to avoid the word "degrowth" and use "beyond growth" instead, might be a concession to be more easy to digest for a wider public, but I can live with that.

The policy recommendations outlined in the report touch important areas, but but the ideas then need to be translated into more specific and achievable policy recommendations at the local/regional/national scale.

Guess reduced subsidies for #renewable #energy will have a negative effect on foreign investments in the US. It does not help trade balance either as little oil is exported from the US.

Endlich eine Info zur Einspeisungsvergütung für unsere PV-Anlage.
Laut Mail bekommen wir ca. 1070 €. Allerdings weiß ich nicht, für welchen Zeitraum. Und da steht was davon, dass Abschlagszahlungen verrechnet wurden. Wir haben aber keine Abschlagszahlungen geleistet
Westnetz ist echt Kagge.
