Reply to Rooftop Solar Is Becoming More Accessible to People with Lower Incomes, But Not Fast Enough - Inside Climate News by darth_nadoma
The Berkeley lab study finds that one of the factors that has helped to
expand access to rooftop solar is the use of leasing and other
third-party ownership models. By leasing panels or subscribing to a
local community solar project, a customer can use solar without having
to pay high upfront costs. The main drawback is that third-party
ownership usually means less savings for the consumer.

Yay. More Rare Earth Metals! Liberals would no longer be against expanding domestic production in the USA.

Following the U.N. Climate Change Conference that took place in November
2021, the Angolan authorities have set an ambitious target to derive
70% of its energy matrixfrom renewable sources by 2025. While the
current national electrification rate is below 50%, the country has
plans to increase this to 60% by 2025, on the back of clean energy
development. Angola is home to abundant sunshine for much of the year,
with a global annual horizontal solar radiation estimated between 1,370
and 2,100 kWh per cubic meter per year. As a result, the country could
have as much as 55 GW of potential solar power capacity.

Reply to Clean air activists condemn 'silent pandemic' of pollution in African cities by darth_nadoma
The report stresses that without urgent action on clean air, the financial cost of air pollution in Africa’s cities is predicted to increase by more than 600 per cent by 2040. Studies show that Africa’s cities are likely to house 65 per cent of its population by 2060.
Air pollution killed 1.1 million Africans in 2019, while AIDS related diseases killed 440 thousand.

Reply to comment by bawng in Forget the Humanoids, Industrial robots will transform the world by darth_nadoma
Weren’t they invented in 1956?
Until relatively recently technology was too immature and expensive and human labor was too cheap for them to be used en masse.

The number of installed industrial robots globally has increased by 517 thousand units in 2021, brining the total number of operational units to 3.5 million. With 74 % of installations being in Asia and UK being the only major country where installations decreased.
The article stated that while humanoid robots attract fanfare the humble industrial robots are doing more to transform the economy. The humanoid robots do not yet perform as good as humans

They are producing it from manure.
I remember writing a paper in college on production of fuel methane from Food Waste.
There are big facilities that make methane from food waste and then use the methane to produce electricity in Barcelona, Catalonia.
Methane Gas from cow manure is how a lot of rural electrification was achieved in India 🇮🇳. It also allowed some peasants to produce their own gas to cook with.

While not as consistent as north-west Europe, there are excellent wind
resources in the MENA region. Southern Morocco, the areas around the
Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba in Egypt, Jordan and north-west Saudi Arabia,
southern Egypt and the south-east coast of Oman are all very windy.
Parts of Libya, southern Tunisia, the Algerian Sahara, inland Iran and
Kuwait also have strong winds. In contrast to much of Europe, the region
has wide-open spaces where wind farms are not blocked by community
opposition.
