"It's really beautiful to imagine relying on a power source that you can't hoard."

If you feel yourself slipping into climate doomerism like I have lately, I implore you to read/listen to this convo with @billmckibben.bsky.social. It genuinely helped me see a path forward

Even on an overcast, damp day, the new solar panels are providing over 5.5x more electricity than we're consuming. The excess is all going into the national grid.

Can't wait to see what the ratio will be when the sun shines!

Very exciting things happening on the shed roofs today!

We're finally going solar!! 🌞

Game changer: Mayo project uses kites to generate power A project in Co Mayo is generating renewable electricity through the flying of kites, which its operator has described as a potential "game changer" in the wind energy sector.

“A single kite is currently capable of amassing up to 30 kilowatts of free electricity per hour that can be stored and used later.Kitepower says kites are twice as efficient as conventional wind turbines at capturing wind energy.”

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

Third Space in Smithfield are asking: “We are starting a Take One, Leave One cup wall & we need your help! Have you any spare keep cups that you don't use? Would you be happy to donate them to us to reuse? They would need to have a lid, & be fit for use. 🙏 “

The Eirgrid dashboard now shows daily solar generation. Four years ago, this would have been a flat line.

This doesn't even include rooftop solar which reduces the demand on the grid.

Delighted that @monthlycycles.bsky.social will be joining us for the Stoneybatter Festival this weekend!
