Just informing you: You can see the power output of PV panels by looking at the Watt number. It says something like 400 Wp (Watt peak - i.e. Watt under direct sunlight). Voltage is more or less irrelevant.

Productivity has already gone up, now it’s time for compensation to catch up.

Wait a minute, I thought the milky way is only visible from the southern pole? Or was it the center of the milky way?
billionaires are a cancer of society and need to be cut out. they think of nothing but their own growth and will damage all of the system because of it. we need to get rid of them before it’s too late.
Edit: better yet, we need policies that disencourage their behavior.
So, I have comments/questions:
- insects just like any other lifeform is sensitive and needs protection. they lay their eggs underground, where they’re protected from direct sunlight and the cold winter. if we plough through the dirt every year, it’s obvious that we’ll disrupt that generational hibernation, and that disrupts the cycle of death and rebirth for the insects, that’s why they vanish. I think ploughing is the biggest reason for insects disappearing, though it wasn’t listed in the article (or i missed it)
“We could not feed the global human population without [insect] pollinators,”
(that’s a quote from the article). I think that’s wrong though. Most calories are provided by cereals, and cereals are wind-pollinating, AFAIK.
I saw a meme a while ago with three panels:
- in the first panel, insects smashing against a driving car (labeled 1990)
- in the second panel, just the driver, but no insects (labeled 2020)
- in the third panel, the driver is gone, it’s just the car (labeled 2050)
unfortunately i can’t find the meme anymore.
solar energy is the cheapest form of energy at this point. capitalism will drive the green energy revolution forward from now on.
young adults have been forsaken by the society in favor of “the economy” and yet another bullshit.
we need an end to economic growth on earth. we need an end to investment, to innovation, to unnecessary scarcity, to the 40-hour work week, to young people spending large part of their lives in schools. we need a social system, we need communal construction and transport, we need free education and healthcare, 20-hour work weeks for all (including adults and school-goers). we need technological prowess for the benefit of society, not for some rich greedy assholes.
