The chances of renewable energy are huge, as seriously proofed by scientists : Solar roofs / balconies, small wind power on roofs (cf. e.g. studies by Prof. Dr. M. Klärle, Osnabrück, Germany; and her teams), also offshore wave+wind power buoys (cf Poseidon in Danmark ; and CorPower Ocean from Sweden) ... solar thermal power (for heating water on roofs, but also big power plants like Andasol and PS10 in Spain ...) in some regions also geothermal or tidal power and others.
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.

New solar Kenya’s first solar-powered “bubble” drier, improves bean quality and commercial value, retaining nutritious qualities before they are turned into a porridge flour. It has been donated to farmers and partners shown in a training session here at ICIPE campus in Nairobi on December 9th, as part of a project “Making Value Chains Work for Food and Nutrition Security of Vulnerable Populations in East Africa,” which aims to reach around five million small holder farmers in Uganda and Kenya benefiting 50,000 rural and urban consumers.
The project is supported by BMZ and GIZ; The CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health and CGIAR donors. It is a joint project between the Pan-Africa Bean Research Alliance initiative and DAPA-Linking Farmers to Markets. The project is led by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), in collaboration with The University of Hohenheim (UHOH), University of Göttingen (UGOE), Kenya Agriculture and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) and Ugandan National Agricultural Research Organization (NARO).

Premier John Horgan visited the Upper Nicola Band and viewed the site of a proposed $30-million solar power project. If members of the Upper Nicola Band approve the project by referendum, it would be the largest solar installation in Western Canada and could power 5,000 homes.

We watched the eclipse today with our filtered eclipse glasses. I shot a few phone pics and also, just for fun, took a screenshot of the drop in solar power from our rooftop array during the eclipse.
