Green Energy

Give it a chance. He comes at it showing sorta a worse case and then goes through how there are things that make it seem worse are actually not as bad. Nothing he goes through seems to be way off. So as far as I can tell its pretty even take. Not to rosy and not to doomy.

Local government opposition sank a proposed solar farm’s permit. The developer says state regulators failed to consider whether the pushback was rooted in evidence.

Indonesia holds the world’s largest reserves of nickel, conferring strategic importance on the world’s fourth-most-populous country as a supplier of raw materials for the batteries required by the global energy transition.

The Indonesia Weda Bay Industrial Park (IWIP) is one of the world’s largest nickel processing facilities (the main concession in Weda district that feeds this smelting complex is the world’s single largest nickel mine).

UNSW researchers were able to recover silicon from end of life solar PV panels pure enough for re-use in silicon carbide-based devices. Their novel multi-step method which includes thermal and chemical processes, also recovers silver.

The study:Microrecycling of waste solar cells via an in-situ fluorine-generating thermal treatment for high purity silicon recovery

Note: Can anyone tell what are the effects of these chemical processes to the environment / living beings?

Extreme heatwaves in the world’s three largest electricity markets – China, the US and India, had a measurable impact on electricity demand, contributing to a surge in fossil generation.

Ember has developed a methodology to estimate the global impact of high temperature on electricity demand. The present report zooms in on the role of air cooling in the three largest power markets – China, the US and India – though the implications are worldwide.

The actual story is the opposite: renewable energy pushes the most expensive fossil fuel plants out of business, lowering costs for consumers
