Australia has greenlit three massive wind farms in New South Wales, adding 2.4 gigawatts of clean energy capacity, the country’s environment minister announced approvals for tilt renewables, 1300 megawatt Liverpool Range.
Squadron Energy’s 700 megawatt Spicers Creek and Inge 372 megawatt hills of gold projects. These renewable powerhouses will offset 6.5. Billion kilograms of carbon emissions yearly, a crucial step in Australia’s plan to become a green energy leader. The $838 million Liverpool Range Project will use fewer but more powerful turbines while Scroggins Energy, Spicer Creek development will power nearly 400,000 homes. Down in South America, Brazil’s president has signed landmark legislation authorizing offshore wind farms, boosting the country’s renewable energy strategy. The law creates incentives for wind projects in Brazilian waters while requiring consultation with coastal communities to respect local traditions already ranking six globally.
For onshore wind capacity, Brazil is strengthening its clean energy portfolio, which currently provides 80% of the nation’s electricity. The president specifically vetoed provisions that would have supported more polluting energy sources like coal and gas plants. Over in Europe, Portuguese renewable energy, giant EDPR is considering selling its 50% stake in ocean winds jointly owned with France Engie. The potential sale comes as EDPR aims to offset 550 million Euro losses in 2024, partly caused by suspended US East Coast projects following the presidential election. Sacramento, California based LCAP Technologies has landed a multimillion dollar contract from a leading wind energy company for its innovative ultra capacitor technology. LCAPs Ultra capacitor retrofit solution replaces traditional lead acid batteries in wind turbine pitch control systems.
The deal strengthens lockout’s position as a key supplier for renewable energy infrastructure as the global transition to clean energy accelerates.
Swedish company Ian has unveiled a groundbreaking wind turbine tower designed to support massive 6.4 megawatt turbines. The Innovative Tower has received official third party certification, foot to zoo, confirming it meets international quality standards engineered for Vestus fee 1 62 dash six.
Point four megawatt machines. The tower uses laminated veneer lumber instead of traditional steel and concrete. Avion is now adapting the design for series production with plans to construct towers reaching up to 219 meters that’s over 700 feet tall. The company’s modular wooden design offers two major advantages, significantly reduce carbon emissions and elimination of transportation challenges that plague traditional towers.

American workers who are facing agonizing and preventable deaths predominantly vote for the party that is condemning them to that horrible fate.
That’s just one of the many disgusting facets of today’s life in the U.S.
Oh my goodness! Is “Liz Churchill” right?
We hear all the time that Dr. Anthony Fauci, who served Americans’ health needs under seven presidents, created COVID-19 in a Chinese lab and deliberately inflicted it on U.S. citizens, killing millions. The anti-science right is cranking up the animus against the man, and now, tens of millions of Americans are desperate to have him sentenced to prison.
A few facts are presented below. What they seem to show is that whoever authored the meme here simply made up lies that would serve to undermine our scientific method and make all this crap fodder for the Fox News / MAGA crowd.
Unvaccinated individuals face a significantly higher risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19 compared to vaccinated individuals. Historical and public health data consistently show that vaccines offer robust protection against the most severe outcomes of the virus. [1, 2, 3]
- Early Variant Spikes: During earlier waves like the Delta variant, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that unvaccinated individuals were up to 29 times more likely to be hospitalized. [1]
- Severe Complications: Hospitalized unvaccinated patients are more likely to experience moderate-to-severe disease, spend more days in the ICU, and have a higher likelihood of complications. [1]
- Financial Burden: A study by the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker noted that unvaccinated patients historically accounted for the vast majority of preventable COVID-19 health system costs due to lengthy, intensive hospital stays. [1]
- Elevated Death Rates: Data compiled by platforms like Our World in Data demonstrate a clear gap in mortality, with unvaccinated individuals dying at significantly higher rates per capita. [1]
Meet Reid Rasner (photo at left). He’s a MAGA Republican running for congress in Wyoming–that’s a good fit.
He faces three challenges, however:
1) He’s openly gay, a terrible fit for Wyoming,
2) His politics appeals only to the true idiot. While it’s true that voters there are not well-educated, they’re aware and alert. They’ve seen trickle-down economics fail consistently since the days of Roland Reagan, and they’ll be very hard to convince that democratic socialism as it’s implemented around the world makes the nation’s citizens poor, and
3) I hate to judge a book by its cover, but he looks like a dullard.
