Switzerland’s Solar Impulse II flew 40,000km around the globe without a drop of fuel. Developing low consumption hybrid tech free from the fascist abuse of deregulated capital; private equity, guilts and bonds to serve the gross inequality and injustice of criminal interests and who knows, a far happier and better world is possible! #BetterWorlds #Philosophy https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kenneth-howard-878931280_solarimpulse-cleanaviation-aviationtech-activity-7458808881922613250-kBi2?utm_medium=ios_app&rcm=ACoAAAKSsicBA7YSf88S4QeCUZqWK_haCF4fWDI&utm_source=social_share_video_v2&utm_campaign=share_via
Solar Impulse 2 Flies 40,000 km on Solar Power | Kenneth Howard posted on the topic | LinkedIn

Every aircraft that circles the globe carries thousands of liters of fuel. It is the mandatory cost of the trip. Solar Impulse 2 carried none. The Swiss-engineered aircraft flew over 40,000 kilometers across oceans and continents powered entirely by photovoltaic cells spread across its wings. It stored solar energy in batteries during the day and drew on it through the night. It never stopped for fuel. It never emitted carbon. The commercial aviation sector burns 300 million tons of jet fuel annually and routinely insists clean, long-distance flight is decades away. Solar Impulse 2 was not built to carry passengers. It was built to carry a point. It flew around the planet on sunlight alone and landed completely intact. The argument that zero-emission flight is impossible did not survive the landing. #SolarImpulse #CleanAviation #AviationTech | 15 comments on LinkedIn

Episode 5.7: Building Dual Power, with Andre Rosario [aka HydroponicTrash]

André Rosario (aka HydroponicTrash) joins us this week on the podcast to tell Ariel all about dual power - what it is, how it fits in with solarpunk, and how people can mobilize it in their daily lives. Their conversation ranges from the history of the term dual power, to examples from André’s own life, to the concept of mutual aid, the importance of imagining a better world, how to build relationships as an introvert, and even includes a discussion of human nature.
