Hey, waitaminute! Are you telling me that Trump really isn’t concerned with the safety of whales, and is really trying to kill a green renewable source of energy?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But why would Trump dO that? Why would he lie?
The only people who this disinformation helps is Big Oil companies, and everyone knows that Trump doesn’t have a history of lying his ass off, right? I mean, everyone knows how much Trump hates big business and loves nature. Surely Trump, the person known for his great love of animals, isn’t lying about windmills killing whales, right??
</sarcasm>
BUT SERIOUSLY: Trump is lying about everything again.

Capitalism and colonialism took community away from us and I want it back. I’ve heard about it from my grandparents and in books and articles online. All throughout history and still today in some parts of the world. People looking out for each other. Regularly. Relentlessly. Neighbors watching each others children, having enough food to share and actually sharing it, being invested in each others lives because everyone has different strengths.
Today community has been strategically painted as a weakness and something to be skeptical of because it is a threat to the very foundations of capitalism. And that’s a real fucking shame because in reality, growing up with community and still having that through adulthood would probably make most people generally happier and less perpetually tired and stressed. It is renewable resilient versatile adaptable self-sustaining and kind of the Ultimate Resource.

The Common Nighthawk (Chordieles minor)
Most often seen flying after dusk or sunset, it's usually found during the day on a fencepost sleeping.
Tumblr media
These birds are very noisy, and their call sounds like "peenting". Here's a video of their little call from someone working at the Cornell Lab of Orthonology:
youtube
They also eat insects, caught while flying in the air. For this reason, they have big beaks to catch insects.
Tumblr media
As you can see, they are a silly little guy, and they are my favorite bird and have been ever since I saw one here in Utah sitting on my grandfather's fence. They have gorgeous stripes under their wings, seen only when flying.
Tumblr media
They average around 9" (22.86 cm). They lay their eggs on the ground, usually on rocks or a rooftop once a year and they do not make nests. 2 eggs are laid, a cream color with lavender markings.
Tumblr media
They usually only stay in Utah during the summer though, and I have only ever seen one, due to a lack of variety in recent years. Global warming is real, and we are destroying the environment. If you want to make a change, donate to some nature organizations; There are more and more species going extinct due to us taking their homes down. This bird's population is slowly decreasing, and it's only a matter of time before it plummets.
Here's one of my favorite organizations:
They're actively uniting people to try and stop climate change and save multiple species that are near extinction. If you can't donate, here are some ways you can help prevent the extinction of animals:
-Recycle. This is a big one; By recycling, you can help prevent plastics and such from going to oceans, and by reusing the already massive amount of plastic that's outdoors.
-Green energy. Solar panels, wind turbines, etc. This may be more expensive at first, but it can help save energy on our planet that's a usual resource we have very limited of.
-Using scraps of food as fertilizer for your garden. Making a compost bin can help SO MUCH with your garden!! I used to put eggshells and other vegetable scraps in my mini herb garden and lemme tell ya, that catnip plant grew MASSIVE.

“Tipping points happen when a small change — such as an incremental increase in global temperature — sparks a rapid and often irreversible transformation.
But they may not all be bad. "Positive" tipping points for the climate are also possible, as solar and wind power grows cheaper than fossil fuels, electric vehicles take off, meat substitutes become tastier and social norms shift.
"I think our best, and possibly last, hope of avoiding the bad tipping points is finding and triggering some good tipping points," said Tim Lenton, director of the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter.“ -via GoodGoodGood, 11/22/22

I just don't know how people who are pushing "clean" energy while flying in jets and driving in motorcades of gas powered cars and look us in the face and say buy a $60,000 EV car, and convert your entire house to electric because it might be better. While also knowing that all the combined Wind, solar and thermal energy produced in the US can't support a single major city in the country perpetually. Literally can't do it. But 340 million people should do it right now. 12.5% of the entire nations energy needs come from renewables, sources that require, for the most part, large swaths of land to work. Now take into consideration Nevada has been trying to get 3 thermal energy plans built for years only to be held up by a toad. that's right a toad in the desert. So the ability to create "clean, renewable" power is dependant on finding the right place, with literally nothing living in it, while also making sure it will not cross historic tribal lands and will not displace native wildlife. I would love to know how we get access to enough land to make a 100% renewable power grid while also NOT affecting Native Lands and destroying wildland habitats. Because in Nevada where 80.1% of the state is controlled by the Federal "Gooberment" they can't make it work, how the hell are they going to make it work in states where the land is privately owned? (Eminent domaine.) Renewables are a rich persons pipe dream, for the rest of us living in the real world, it is a yoke we've been strapped with and told we need to make it work by plugging more and more items into an already over stressed and overworked antiquated electrical grid.

Blue economy and green economy. Growing collaboration between Italy and Portugal.
Tumblr media
The growth of the blue economy and the protection of the sea. Italy and Portugal joined together as part of a sustainable and inclusive economic growth of the blue economy and conservation of the sea.
In light of the strategic role played by the blue economy in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations 2030 Agenda, Italy and Portugal are strengthening scientific and economic research on marine economics and wave energy research. Furthermore, the Italian-Portuguese entrepreneurial institutions are implementing collaboration and research on joint economic projects and on the role of the seas for the sustainable development of the Mediterranean, underlining the urgency of adopting a global approach based on the principles of sustainability, the strengthening of scientific research and maritime safety.
Topics covered.
Algae and the blue bioeconomy
Research in the sector is still in its infancy, and algae production has reached a total turnover of 10.7 million euros in France, Spain, and Portugal. And Portugal represents an exciting hub to be also known for Italian companies.
Blue economy and renewables
Portugal benefits from being a "nation with maritime potential." In addition, emerging activities in the world of marine renewable energy, including floating offshore wind, wave, tidal power, and floating photovoltaic solar energy, can help Europe achieve its neutrality goal of carbon dioxide by 2050. However, even in this scenario, the Lisbon authorities are investing in implementing and spreading the meaningful opportunities arising from the exploitation of space and ocean water.
The "Sea Plan" of Portugal
In 2006 The country launched a national strategy for the sea, subsequently updated in 2104 and further implemented in the "Portugal Sea Plan," which is also the result of the ideas triggered by the Conference on Oceans organized by the United Nations in Lisbon. The Lisbon work highlighted the need to increase marine knowledge and technology to build the oceans' resilience and relaunch the sea's economic and social role, aiming to map 80% of the seabed by 2030.
The day's agenda addressed several important topics, such as promoting and strengthening sustainable economies; managing, protecting, conserving, and restoring marine and coastal ecosystems; minimizing ocean acidification, deoxygenation, and ocean warming; making fishing sustainable.
Themes, opportunities, and alternative energy that Portugal wants to develop to grow its national economy. And the synergy with Italian companies and institutions could further strengthen this vision, generating employment for the excellence of the local blue economy.

RENEWABLE ENERGY;
It is all about energy that is produced or collected from sources like wind, rain, tides, waves and sunlight e.t.c, these sources are naturally regenerated as we live, therefore they are inexhaustible.
How are sunlight, wind, rain, tides and waves renewable energy sources you ask?
=> Well sunlight is free, it can't run out(inexhaustible).It produces heat and light which is essential in solar energy generation.
=> Wind is also a renewable energy resource, it does not deplete therefore its power is continuously harnessed. The power of wind is relevant in the creation of wind turbines. Turbines converts the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy.

I’ve had this question posed to me a couple of years back. I said it was a renewable resource and probably, to that date, far less than a whole tree.

Pass legislation to significantly expand transmission for clean energy NOW!
AN OPEN LETTER to THE PRESIDENT & U.S. CONGRESS
820 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!
Right now, there are at least 2,000 gigawatts of renewable energy waiting for permission to connect to power lines in the U.S., which is more than the total capacity of the country’s existing power plants. Wait times to connect new power plants to the grid can reach five years or more. Without rapidly improving transmission, the United States will not be able to achieve Biden's goal of 100% clean energy by 2035 or provide cheaper, more reliable electricity to American households. If the U.S. can’t build new transmission at a faster pace, roughly 80 percent of the emissions reductions expected from the Inflation Reduction Act–the largest climate legislation in U.S. history–might not happen.
That’s why I’m writing to urge Congress to pass legislation to significantly expand transmission for clean energy.
Multiple efforts are currently in play. Most recently in the House, Representatives Sean Casten and Mike Levin introduced the Clean Energy and Transmission Acceleration Act, (HR 6747) which would encourage the development of new transmission lines to carry renewable power where it’s needed while protecting the rights of communities to provide input on where lines are built and to benefit from their construction. I strongly support this bill.
But any legislation is better than none, and NONE of the bills proposed so far have been passed. This is not good.
Increasing access to clean energy will help tackle the climate crisis by ensuring the reliability of the grid and reducing consumers' bills. Renewable energies like wind and solar are quickly becoming the least expensive source of energy and we need to make sure as many people as possible get access to these clean, abundant energy sources.
Please pass a strong, fair transmission bill—like HR 6747—that prioritizes clean energy, climate change, and environmental justice. This is urgent; all of our children are counting on us to secure their futures. Thanks.
