Some better pictures at the village society website - pre-https technology, I'm afraid. The mill wheel itself is at the right of line 2, and two below is a fine picture of my back door (no, the ladies weren't there to greet me when I moved in). |

This is one of the more dubious solutions: Climate change: IPCC scientists to examine carbon removal in key report wrote: UN scientists are likely to weigh up technology to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, as they gather to finalise a key report. Simply: Removing CO2 from our atmosphere is vastly more costly than not dumping the CO2 into the atmosphere in the first place. In general, not making a mess in the first place is always a lot better than trying to clean things up afterwards... Also, is there a very good bet that the politics will twist the options made available to become yet another excuse for highly profitable procrastination and denial, all for the sake of short term destructive profits...?

It's time for space observatories to get green. Carbon footprint of huge astronomy observatories raises climate change concerns. Astronomers in the future may not be able to build large complex power-hungry observatories if they want to reduce their carbon footprint in line with greenhouse gas emission requirements, a study suggests. |

Now this sounds interesting. Researchers develop reactor that refines waste carbon into chemicals while generating hydrogen. In a world faced with dual concerns about climate change and growing energy needs, developing renewable replacements for fossil fuels has been a long-sought dream. While considerable progress has been made in converting various biomaterials into usable energy in recent years, refining them in an environmentally sustainable way has remained a challenge.And then there's. Your disposable COVID masks could be reborn as fuel. The demand for single-use plastic significantly increased when the COVID-19 pandemic began, especially with the steady need for personal protective equipment (PPE) such as surgical face masks, gloves, face shields, and gowns to prevent virus transmission. An estimated 3.4 billion single-use face masks or face shields are discarded every day due to the pandemic. Food packaging and plastic bag waste in households also multiplied with the increase in online shopping and delivery services. |

Giving new meaning to driving a piece of rubbish. Mercedes-Benz has wowed the consumer electronics show in Las Vegas with a visionary concept that could revolutionise vehicle design. Used nappies, rotten food and waste fibre from sugar cane could be key ingredients in the car of the future. |

My 2000 Mercedes S-500 cost over $90,000. I bought it when we had more money than common sense. It was un-reliable and had a high maintenance cost--it was plush and modern for it's time and ate up miles on the Interstate highways. Now I drive a nice car that costs less than $25,000. Take a guess at the cost of this putative mythical automobile from Karl Benz. |

Why does it require a 'crisis' to go less polluting, efficient, and green? Fertilisers: UK to reward green farming practices as {fossils} costs surge wrote: The UK government will pay farmers in England to use greener fertilisers as global economic shocks send crop-growing costs soaring. Another positive side effect is in reducing the shipments of the fossils-dirty material that destroyed the port in Beirut with an unholy big bang...

Who would have thought that Putin's warmongering would wake up other governments to going clean and green and more safely and reliably energy independent? Wind and solar reach milestone as demand surges wrote: Wind and solar generated 10% of global electricity for the first time in 2021... At least for the rest of the world, there may be a more urgent positive shift rising from the death and destruction being wrought in Ukraine.

Just one of the on-going solutions being ramped up worldwide: The World's Largest Battery Isn't What You Think More of a question is how to kill off the polluting fossil power stations sooner...

More of a question is how to kill off the polluting fossil power stations sooner... I've Worked in MANY Fossil Fuel Plants and Air Inside Plant and Outside Plant is SWEET as Air I'm Breathing Right Now. Only Time I CAN'T STAND Air Then and Now is When a Worker or a Neighbor is CIG Smoking and Their CIG Smoke Gets in my Lungs. I've Mentioned Before: While On Interstate aka FreeWay Going 55 -75 mph - Some Vehicle with Smokers GAG ME with their SPEW of SMOKE as I'm Trying to Enjoy Fresh Air with an Open Window. Same with Driving a Motorcycle - Only Worse Since I'm COMPLETELY in Air Stream. Fossil Fuel Plants. Every Been in One? FRESH AIR BABY!!!!!! SUPER Yep May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON.

Engineers Create an Enzyme That Breaks Down Plastic Waste in Hours, Not Decades. A new study outlines the use of a specially created enzyme variant that vastly reduces the time it takes to break down the components of plastics. |

It can be done. Renewable electricity powered California just shy of 100% for the first time in history. Renewable electricity met just shy of 100% of California's demand for the first time on Saturday, officials said, much of it from large amounts of solar power produced along Interstate 10, an hour east of the Coachella Valley. |

Passing vehicles could help generate electricity to run street lights in UK town Wind turbines spun by the airflow from passing vehicles installed on a major road in Shropshire will generate enough electricity to run all the streetlights for the nearby town in a UK first. |

Mmmm... That's a bit suspicious... There was a similar scheme installed by a certain supermarket whereby traffic passing through the car park generated 'free' electricity for the supermarket. Ofcourse, there is the physics reality that energy is neither created nor destroyed, but merely converted... Something or someone always has to pay! The 'free' electricity was at the expense of badly inefficiently increased fuel consumption as the cars now had to work against greater rolling resistance to overcome the drag of the 'free' electricity generator... Quite rightly, that scam soon got stopped. Does the positioning of these new devices increase the fuel consumption of the passing traffic?... Really useful? Or a Greenwashing Marketing scam??
