Renewables Electric Tractors

A large orange diesel tractor emits a large cloud of dark black exhaust

A gallon of diesel contains about 37 kWh of energy. But a diesel engine only converts about 30 - 40% of that into useful work. The rest becomes heat, noise, and particulates that contaminate the air and the soil.
Good thing #electric tractors are finally a viable option!

Not a golf cart - this is an electric tractor! Does everything a tractor does, and it has an optional solar canopy.

The frames of 8 electric two-wheel remote control tractors wait for assembly in the N. California manufacturing facility

Eight new bodies of the e2T (electric 2-wheel tractors) are ready to be assembled at Renewables' Northern California facility - let's gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Fuel your "tank" while you're working?
Diesel can't do that!

I've created a new dashboard for The Climate Brink that is updated daily with ERA5 global mean surface temperature data. It includes daily anomalies, monthly and annual forecasts, and a bunch of interactive data visualizations: dashboard.theclimate...

"This approach isn’t just practical; it’s transformative.
Functionality improves when users highlight intuitive flaws, like cumbersome interfaces on smart energy monitors that frustrate non-tech-savvy homeowners."

CEO Steve Heckeroth takes a break, sitting on the rear hitch of the e2T electric two-wheel tractor. The tractor is paused in a field, it has a solar canopy, and it's towing a bin behind it.

Starting to get excited for #WorldAgExpo 2026!

Farming is hard enough with rising costs, labor gaps, and climate uncertainty. Farmers don’t need another challenge. That’s why we created the e2T: a compact, #solar -compatible electric tractor built for versatility, low maintenance, and real #farm work.

Image of a field with a quote: "I used to think the top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and climate change. I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address those problems. But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed, apathy...and to deal with those, we need a spiritual and cultural transformation, and we scientists don't know how to do that."

Thinking about this Gus Speth quote a lot these days

Great news - the Fair Credit for Farmers Act has been reintroduced in the House AND the Senate! The bill will help balance the scales of FSA lending programs to better serve farmers. Read more: nffc.net/fair-credit-... #agsky

Absolutely agree!

Pair this with electric tractors, turn your sunlight into torque, and never pay for fuel again - a wise investment for farms and for our #climate!
#e2T #Solar #FarmSky #AgSky

100% agree - we need a global transformation

14% of global emissions come from #agriculture. Ag isn't just about what we grow. It's about the systems we choose to support while we grow it.

The sun delivers more energy to Earth in 1 hour than humanity uses in an entire year.

It's time to phase out fossil fuels.

Happy #WorldSoilDay!

THANKS, Y'ALL!
Not long ago, we opened up investment in Renewables to the public, & we've already raised over $100k.
To us, this is more than fundraising - it’s an invitation to join a movement. The future of farming should be clean, reliable, & accessible to all. If you believe the same, join us!

We're excited for the demos and workshops today at the @caff-famfarms.bsky.social Small Farm Tech Expo at @ucmerced.bsky.social
Come say hello to our founder, Steve Heckeroth if you're going - we'd love to connect!

#DidYouKnow? The lack of recognition of the benefits provided by healthy urban soils leaves cities more vulnerable to floods, heat, and pollution.

Investing in healthy soils is a cost-effective way to save money, protect health, and strengthen urban systems.

#WorldSoilDay #GreenCities

A two-wheel tractor drives through a green field, powered by a solar canopy.

Happy Monday, y'all!
We're busy turning sunlight into torque, one acre at a time.
Who's ready for a quieter field season?

There’s a catastrophic black hole in our climate data – and it’s a gift to deniers | George Monbiot Climate sceptics tell us that more people die of extreme cold than extreme heat. What’s the truth? asks Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Researching this week's column, I stumbled across something that amazed me:
the near-absence of reliable data about climate impacts over most of the
world. Due to the rich world's failure to fund research. We don't know
because our governments don't care. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
