Trump is blocking solar for farmers. Can the Farm Bill fix that?

REAP had been helping farmers go solar and save money since 2008, until Trump came along. A looming Farm Bill vote could seal its fate — or solve its…

I hope somebody's keeping an eye out for the enshittification potentials in renewables, so that we can head those off when the Predator Class starts trying to enclose those commons. (I think I've seen some reports of those kinds of things already being tried, though not yet at national scale.)

Relatedly, I'm looking forward to the day when solar becomes bicycle-level back-yard tech that's essentially impossible to enclose.

☀️ Our best April yet! We're thrilled to share our solar generation report. Record April production (610 kWh!) covered 91% of our house usage and resulted in huge savings compared to the new price cap. The West/North facing panels are now coming more and more into play.

Africa’s telecom towers turn to solar as diesel costs surge http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TSMKfC #Africa #Telecom #SolarEnergy #SustainableEnergy #DieselPrices

I finally got my own solar panel ! It's small though, claims it's a "10w panel", but I showed my parents some kind of a proof of concept by charging my 18650 batteries with the xtar charger thingies and yeah it works that they started discussing bout solar energy.

Problem is that I'm really short on cash and they're not really funding my interests. They prolly find it stupid, but it's alright.

I kinda wonder if I had nice parents.

Australia is giving away solar energy for free, it's so cheap:

Nordic Nano's nanoprinted solar film is as flexible as a sail. They've combined print-on-demand tech with roll-to-roll process for a lightweight material. It's a practical use of old tech. How will this impact our daily use of renewable energy? #SolarEnergy #EcoTech
