The mesmerizing patterns formed on China's Qiantang River at sunset when a tidal bore splits in two and collides with itself.

Fields are for food and can also fuel our Nation.
It's no longer an either / or argument when we can have both.

Solar panels have a dual purpose in this orchard. They produce clean electricity while shading apple trees from hail, frost and heavy rain.
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

You can't grow food AND have solar in the UK.
Its ok in every other country on planet earth, but in the UK.

The world's largest single-unit green ammonia project was put into operation on Saturday in Da'an City, northeast China's Jilin Province. Powered by an 800-MW wind-solar power unit, the project can produce 32,000 tonnes of green hydrogen and 180,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually, equivalent to cutting CO2 emissions by about 650,000 tonnes each year.
So right now Gas is supplying 6.3% of the electricity grid... Anyone know how much the ammonia production plants take...

Solar powered robots installing solar panels manufactured with solar energy is how you build Type 1 civilization.
Chinese robot outperforms human teams in Australian solar installation hubs.li/Q03k9JTV0
A Chinese tech company says it has completed its first solar module mounting contract with an AI-controlled robot in Australia, helping to carve 25 per cent off the project delivery time, and doing the job of three to four humans.
🚀 This robotic installer in Australia demonstrates significant gains in efficiency and scale of the coming solar, wind and battery disruption of our energy systems, installing thousands of panels at a rate equivalent to 3-4 human workers.

Oh yes.
Much more honourable than being paid by lobbyists to speak/vote a certain way.
Please RT if you agree with me.

Small changes of the vote in a small list of seats tomorrow could have an outsized impact on the Parliament we end up with electoral-reform.org.uk/it-s…
Remember this from just under 2 years ago. Maybe someone wanted to call an election before it happened again ? youtu.be/TwzmfsI5Wr4?si=CML9…

Agriculture cannot survive at 50C+ soil temperatures for very long. Civilization cannot survive long without modern agriculture- connect the dots. On current trajectory this doesn’t end well. #heatwave
