Ethical Revolution<h2>UK emissions down in 2024</h2><a href="https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/uk-emissions-down-in-2024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[Read on Ethical Revolution]</a>Some good news in as much as the constant rise in greenhouse gas emissions is being curbed in the UK. Still a long way to go to get to real reversal numbers, but this <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-emissions-fall-3-6-in-2024-as-coal-use-drops-to-lowest-since-1666/" target="_blank">new analysis by Carbon Brief</a> tells that our emissions decreased 3.6% in 2024. Above average temperatures, a rise of almost 40% in electric car numbers* and the largest proportion of renewable energy going in to the grid were all factors in the decrease.It means the UK’s emissions are now 54% below 1990 levels. Roughly half of the drop in emissions was due to a 54% reduction in demand for coal.Coal use dropped to the lowest level since the year of the Great Fire of London, in 1666. This was in large part thanks to the closure of the UK’s last coal-fired power station and one of the last remaining blast furnaces at the Port Talbot steelworks.Meanwhile oil demand fell 1.4% and gas demand fell 13% thanks to lower gas-fired electricity generation as a result of higher electricity imports and increased output from low-carbon sources.*1.4m EVs, 0.8m plug-in hybrids and 76,000 electric vans cut oil-related emissions by at least 5.9MtCO2e. The benefit to the UK’s EV motorists was a saving of about £800 on average, relative to the cost of driving petrol or diesel vehicles. <a href="https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/uk-emissions-down-in-2024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[Via Ethical Revolution]</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/tag/coal/" target="_blank">#coal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/tag/electricvehicles/" target="_blank">#ElectricVehicles</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/tag/emissions/" target="_blank">#emissions</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/tag/renewable-energy/" target="_blank">#RenewableEnergy</a>

quackademicThe interests that oppose renewable energy are suddenly very concerned about possible effects of wind turbines on wildlife (always comparing their impacts to no intervention, never to the impacts of the coal power stations they will replace). Yet somehow they’re very blasé about the risks from nuclear.It’s almost as if safety & efficiency wasn’t the point.The agenda here is distraction with spurious ‘debates’ as cover for squeezing the last profits out of fossil fuels before it’s too late.<a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AusPol</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/RenewableEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RenewableEnergy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FossilFuels</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/profit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#profit</a><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-16/offshore-wind-what-we-do-and-dont-know/103686234?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=other" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-16/offshore-wind-what-we-do-and-dont-know/103686234?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=other</a>

Our Wonderful Green Future<h2>Peer-to-peer energy in developing nations</h2><a href="https://youtu.be/j6oB1UjwY5w?feature=shared" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/j6oB1UjwY5w?feature=shared</a>It’s estimated that globally 1.18 Billion people are living in energy poverty and 700 Million are living with no electricity at all. [<a href="https://data.undp.org/blog/1-18-billion-around-the-world-in-energy-poverty" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1</a>] Many of them are in rural areas with no chance of ever getting connected to a mains (Fossil Fuel) grid because the electricity/maintenance would be just too expensive. Enter peer-to-peer energy trading technology, coupled with cheap solar and storage. A technology that has the potential to lift millions out of energy poverty, especially those living in equatorial regions. Established in 2015, SOLshare, in Bangladesh, has developed one of the world’s first solar peer-to-peer energy exchange platforms, allowing households with rooftop solar home systems to trade excess electricity in real-time. This technology enables users to become both producers and consumers of electricity, enhancing energy access in areas where traditional grid infrastructure is lacking. The SOLshare platform is comprised of three key elements<ul><li>SOLbazaar Platform: This is the core of SOLshare’s P2P trading system, which connects households and small businesses. Users can sell surplus energy generated from their solar installations to neighbours, facilitating a decentralised energy market.</li><li>SOLbox Meter: A bi-directional smart meter that allows for the measurement and trading of electricity between users. It supports mobile payments, making transactions seamless and accessible.</li><li>Mobile App: The SOLapp helps manage user energy and tracks consumption and trading activities, enhancing user engagement and efficiency.</li></ul>SOLshare’s initiative has significantly improved energy access for rural communities in Bangladesh, where approximately 60 million people still lack reliable electricity. Some of these communities have never had access to reliable electricity. By enabling households to monetise their excess solar energy, SOLshare not only addresses energy poverty but also empowers local economies by allowing individuals to earn income through energy trading.The company’s technology exemplifies the benefits of a shift towards decentralised and sustainable energy solutions. The Fossil Fuels industry to this day claims that renewables can’t power the world, but if history has taught us anything it’s centralised Fossil Fuels can’t power poorer regional areas. While this technology is most applicable in rural areas it can be deployed in cities to help combat blackouts and rising electricity costs.There are other similar initiatives happening in the developing world. I touched on another initiative in Africa in this article <a href="https://owgf.org/2024/12/23/africans-quiet-energy-and-environmental-revolution/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HERE</a>. Also in Cambodia Okra Solar are deploying something very similar which they call a Mesh Grid. It can be quickly deployed, and in this case below, redeployed when needed. Someting that is increasingly important when it comes to Climate Change adaptation.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI4S2lH9DdM" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI4S2lH9DdM</a>You can see other projects that Okra Solar are deploying around the world here: <a href="https://www.okrasolar.com/category/case-studies" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.okrasolar.com/category/case-studies</a>It’s not just the developing world that can benefit from this type of Solar Micro Grid. In Australia remote communities that are currently dependent on diesel generators are now being powered by Solar and Batteries. These towns would also benefit from the addition of peer-to-peer energy trading as a way to save money and build more resilience into their micro grids. <a href="https://reneweconomy.com.au/horizon-slashes-diesel-use-with-solar-and-battery-microgrids-for-remote-towns/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://reneweconomy.com.au/horizon-slashes-diesel-use-with-solar-and-battery-microgrids-for-remote-towns/</a> Solar and Storage will 100% power equatorial regions, and beyond, in the the future. It will be cheaper and more reliable. It will allow for more energy independence and will dramatically reduce emissions. We just need to hit the accelerator pedal and get deploying these projects faster so they can benefit from economies of scale.<a class="" href="https://owgf.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/screenshot-2025-03-10-at-9.18.01e280afam.png?w=1024" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[🖼 owgf.org/wp-content/uploads/20…]</a> Notes*The Bangladesh video is from Damon Gameau who embarks on a personal journey to explore what the future could look like by the year 2040 if we embraced the best solutions available today to improve our planet and wellbeing. <a href="https://theregenerators.org/2040/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://theregenerators.org/2040/</a>You can read more about Mesh Grids here: <a href="https://www.okrasolar.com/category/case-studieshttps://cleantechnica.com/2024/04/05/the-potential-of-solar-mesh-grids-for-last-mile-electrification/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://cleantechnica.com/2024/04/05/the-potential-of-solar-mesh-grids-for-last-mile-electrification/</a>Other links:Al Jazeera video on Solshare: <a href="https://youtu.be/v33ERl42VYM?si=U_dZvHwzlnZEmKuk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/v33ERl42VYM?si=U_dZvHwzlnZEmKuk</a>World Economic Forum video: <a href="https://www.weforum.org/stories/2018/06/rural-bangladesh-villages-transition-renewable-energy-sebastian-groh/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.weforum.org/stories/2018/06/rural-bangladesh-villages-transition-renewable-energy-sebastian-groh/</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://owgf.org/tag/bangladesh/" target="_blank">#Bangladesh</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://owgf.org/tag/cambodia/" target="_blank">#Cambodia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://owgf.org/tag/climate-change/" target="_blank">#climateChange</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://owgf.org/tag/climatechange/" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://owgf.org/tag/energy/" target="_blank">#energy</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://owgf.org/tag/microgrids/" target="_blank">#MicroGrids</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://owgf.org/tag/owgf/" target="_blank">#OWGF</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://owgf.org/tag/peer2peer/" target="_blank">#Peer2Peer</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://owgf.org/tag/renewable-energy/" target="_blank">#renewableEnergy</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://owgf.org/tag/solar/" target="_blank">#Solar</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://owgf.org/tag/solar-power/" target="_blank">#solarPower</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://owgf.org/tag/solarpunk/" target="_blank">#SolarPunk</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://owgf.org/tag/sustainability/" target="_blank">#sustainability</a>

In the 1970s, Shirakawa, along with American scientists Alan Heeger and Alan MacDiarmid, found a way to make plastics that can conduct electricity — a discovery that won them the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2000."These days Osaka has his own research group at Hiroshima University that is working with these ‘conjugated polymers’ to make carbon-based, ‘organic’ photovoltaic cells. In contrast to typical silicon-based cells, which are relatively bulky, heavy, rigid and opaque, the organic alternatives are flexible and transparent enough to be placed where existing cells cannot, such as on the walls of buildings, the glass of greenhouses and even on the sides of tents."Significantly, their fabrication is expected to be cheaper and consume less energy than silicon-based photovoltaics."

Droppie [infosec] 🐨:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird: :vegan:QuoteYesterday, Labor and Coalition teamed up to rewrite election laws in their own favour—making it harder for independent voices like mine to compete and easier for them to cling to power.Instead of focusing on climate action, the cost-of-living crisis, housing, or education, they pushed through laws that:<ul><li> Hand themselves $4.82 million of your tax dollars—money that could have gone to essential services.</li><li> Let them outspend independents 112 to 1—with $90 million in election funding nationally while independents are capped in each set.</li><li> Keeping billionaires out, but special interest groups in—peak bodies (like Mining, Gas and Gambling lobbying) have $200,000 annual cap - 4 times the annual gift cap.</li></ul>These laws aren’t about fairness or transparency or taking big money out of politics—they’re a power grab designed to silence challengers and protect their political duopoly and get the public to pay for it!At the last election, 30% of voters rejected the major parties. The rise of Community Independents has shown that Australians want real representation—leaders who listen to their communities, not party machines. That’s why they are scared and changing the rules.This is critical for Climate ActionThe major parties have failed to act on climate for decades, prioritising fossil fuel interests over the future of our planet.But I have fought to put climate on the national agenda—holding the government accountable and ensuring they listen to your concerns. We’ve made progress, but there’s still so much to do. If independents are locked out, climate action will stall.Unquote <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AusPol</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Greens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Greens</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/VoteGreens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VoteGreens</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ProgIndies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProgIndies</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/WeAreTotallyFscked" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeAreTotallyFscked</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/WeAreSelfishCruelBastards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeAreSelfishCruelBastards</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Misanthropy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Misanthropy</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckOffDutton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FsckOffDutton</a>! <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ShitParty1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ShitParty1</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ShitParty2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ShitParty2</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ComeOnTanya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ComeOnTanya</a>! <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/WhyIsLabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhyIsLabor</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NatsAreNuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NatsAreNuts</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NoNukes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoNukes</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racism</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FuckRacists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FuckRacists</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NonLinear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NonLinear</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TippingPoints" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TippingPoints</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/PositiveFeedbackLoops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PositiveFeedbackLoops</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FossilFools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FossilFools</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/RenewableEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RenewableEnergy</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ChangeTheSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChangeTheSystem</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/StateCapture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StateCapture</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/RightToProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToProtest</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biodiversity</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/WeAreTotallyFscked" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeAreTotallyFscked</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Misanthropy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Misanthropy</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Karma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Karma</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeForests</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/StopLoggingNativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StopLoggingNativeForests</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FsckCapitalism</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/CognitiveDissonance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CognitiveDissonance</a>
