I am still in it for a wonderful green future. Nature and wildlife, but also useful, accessible tech, art, and urban planning. Polish, living in Sweden. I love living in the EU and the values it represents. Fascinated by and open to the rest of the world.

  • Yesss, especially in arid regions, argovoltaics is very promising ‿ The problem is often more political, most energy is needed where most people live, that is, in regions with good conditions for agriculture. As is also written in Wikipedia, agrovoltaics could be good for some plants even there, but reclaiming desertified land with agrovoltaics sounds much more exciting.

  • Oh wow, you are (generally) right. Of course, it depends on beans and conditions, but some farmers even add nitrogen fertilizers to the beans :O

  • US withdraws from the World Health Organization

    Jump

  • You can’t execute 268m people (75% of the population) very easily. You can let disease, famine, political violence do that more you.

    I think that, at least short-term, the harshest effects of the WHO exit will be felt outside the US. Like, big parts of Africa already feel the sudden cancellation of USAID. Though within the US, you guys also have the anti-vaxx and general anti-modern-medicine movement, that got crazy influential.

    Having said that, you seem to have a much better overview of their ideology and their plans. I hope they are wrong in overestimating the feasibility of that plan.

    Having said that, living outside and away from US I tend to see it as a lesser evil when the US sabotages its international strength. The dollar loosing significance would be a big one. But I might be naive. Especially if it helps/speeds up the fascist takeover.

  • I hope that the US not paying fees to WHO will caution other lenders, and the dollar will go down soon.

  • Oh, I thought they already left. So there will be even more damage to global health programs now...

  • I wish the USAns can do it peacefully. But I feel desperate about anything that will work against their fascist government and business.

  • Honestly - however grim it might sound - I kinda hope so. The way US acts internationally, a civil war would at least involve one country, not many.

  • Totally agree. Would be fascinating to hear where the photos were taken, especially the house with timber framing.

  • China: Major solar manufacturers report steep losses amid continued price declines and high inventory levels, raising concerns about overcapacity across the PV supply chain

    Jump

  • I'm actually also confused how the difference does not depend on the perspective. If we say supply is too high, then it is overcapacity. If we say demand is too low, it is underutilization. For a profit-driven company, it is overcapacity, I understand that. But Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world has a point, when we look at it from the perspective of the rest of us...

    And I guess you would address overcapacity and underutilization differently. Overcapacity -> reduce production. Underutilization -> increase consumption (“installation” in this case sounds more fitting). To say that it is clearly an overcapacity issue sounds to me as if there is no way we could install more solar panels.

  • The consequences if the world decided to go meat-free

    Jump

  • Yeah.

    If vegetarianism was adopted by everyone by 2050, the world would have about seven million fewer deaths every year – and veganism would bring that up to eight million.

    I guess this counts only health issues caused by meat consumption. And only human deaths ;)

  • Any resources about environmental issues in other languages?

    Jump

  • PS: I love the idea of collecting sources with different languages, I agree that with the automatic translators, one can get quite some from foreign sources.
