Bold Nebraska and Pipeline Fighters installed solar panels in the path of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, on Diana and "Stix" Steskal's Prairierose Farm near Atkinson, NE on Saturday, Sept. 16.
Donate $25 now to put solar in the path of KXL: bit.ly/solarxl
This second Solar XL project installation follows the first solar panels that were installed on the farm of Jim and Chris Carlson on the KXL pipeline route. Details for the 3rd Solar XL installation site announced soon!
The families partnered with Solar XL project sponsors Bold Nebraska, 350.org, Indigenous Environmental Network, CREDO, and Oil Change International to put renewable energy directly in the pipeline’s path. Solar XL underscores the need to center solutions to climate change while rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline and resisting the expansion of the fossil fuel industry.

"We are star stuff harvesting star light. Our lives, our past and our future are tied to the sun, the moon and the stars. [We are]...star stuff contemplating the stars, organized collections of ten billion, billion, billion atoms, contemplating the evolution of nature, tracing that long path by which it arrived at consciousness here on the planet earth, and perhaps throughout the cosmos."

Peng Zhou, left, a postdoctoral research fellow, conducts an experiment on the roof of the Wilson Student Team Project Center on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday morning, October 14, 2022. Zhou is seen here working with first year PhD student Yuyang Pan.
Zhou and other members of Zetian Mi’s research group are using the large magnifying glass to focus the sunlight directly on a small semiconductor covered in water. The solar energy is used to separate the hydrogen and oxygen into individual elements. “Basically, we’re using green energy to extract hydrogen from water,” said Professor Zetian Mi.

First year PhD student Yuyang Pan, left, looks on as Ishtiaque Navid, PhD student, works in the Molecular Bean Epitaxy Lab in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday, October 14, 2022. Pan and Navid are members of Professor Zetian Mi’s research group.
In the lab they are growing Gallium nitride (GaN) based nanostructures by molecular beam epitaxy.

this is the view from my office in nashville. all winter i've been watching these folks install solar photovoltaic cells on their roof. apparently they are the first company to utilize grants from the state to do such a thing. pretty neat!

The circuit diagram for the solar-powered night light I made recently. Thanks to www.evilmadscientist.com et. al.
Some notes about the components.
D1 is a generic signal diode, which prevents the capacitor from discharging through the solar cell. I use some re-cycled parts in my projects - this came from a faulty power supply.
T1 is a PNP transistor, the type isn't critical. They are less common than the NPN types.
The 100R resistor limits the current to the joule thief.
T2 is an NPN type transistor, again it is not critical which you use. I've found most compact fluorescent lamps have at least one NPN transistor which can be harvested after the lamp fails.
The inductor needs to be hand-made, the ferrite ring also came from an old CFL.
D2 is a white LED.

{Solar Hot Water} Carringon Middle School, located in Durham North Carolina, houses over 1000 students from grades 6-8. The 8-panel solar hot water system was designed with the school’s cafeteria as its central focus. The cafeteria is the campus’s main source for hot water use, rolling out thousands of meals a week. Our structure now supplements their demand with water that has been heated by the sun, and stored for on-demand use in the cafeteria kitchen. BRE’s solar thermal structure is expected to save the equivalent of about 400,000 gallons of natural gas in 2010, as well as reduce over 8,500
A nice fresh installation at home.. This will keep the thumbscrews on the power bills :))
I still cant get over watching the electric meter not moving at all, while we have 2 computers, a washing macine, etc running in the house.. I really should know better, being an electrical engineer, but it still looks magic ;))
