In very happy news globally the amount of capital investment flowing into the solar sector (around a billion a day) has been reported to be more than the investment going into coal/oil for the first time ever in 2023

❤️

(love agrivoltaics shade and dual income in farming – turning desert into abundant farmland. Those solar panels could easily power a water pump to pump sea water from the ocean to inland solar powered desalination plants too – drought is so last century)

(30 May 2023 – in a miracles can happen moment “India has announced it will not consider any proposals for new coal plants for the next five years and focus on growing its renewables sector, according to an updated national electricity plan released Wednesday evening. Wow. Huge huge kudos! ❤️)

(5 June 2023 – in more uplifting and heartwarming news “Italy could shut down its coal-fired power stations in 2024, a year earlier than planned, Environment Minister said on Monday. Bellissimo! ❤️)

(8 June 2023 – and China continue to install more renewable energy and get more low emissions vehicles on the road (including electric buses) than the rest of the world combined – and a reported decline in coal use this quarter. An extraordinary effort. Huge kudos! ❤️)

Love and peace

(13 June 2023 – a coal lobbyist actually attempted to state solar panels do not work in high temperatures and is clearly unaware of solar panels frequent use in space – um normal solar panels are built to function from around -40C to +85C) 

(18 June 2023 – In Germany (LEAG and US energy storage manufacturer ESS Tech) are currently installing the worlds largest iron flow battery systems to transform existing coal electricity plants to renewable energy. Great technology! Huge Kudos ❤️)

(3 July 2023 – in very happy news revenue from Australian critical minerals exports are set to be more than thermal coal within just two years. Great!)
