As Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir el-Balah struggles to get fuel, its oxygen generators may run out of power, putting the lives of 20 newborns in peril, warns the UN’s children agency, UNICEF.
Iyad al-Jabri, the medical director at the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Gaza’s Deir el-Balah, said more than 4,000 litres of fuel was required each day to continue operations and care for patients in the medical facility, which is now in darkness as power generators have shut down.
“We have hundreds of patients including the injured and those that are diagnosed with kidney failure and need electricity for their dialysis treatment.”
UN normally uses 200,000 litres of diesel fuel a day in Gaza. As of Tuesday night, the UN had 30,000 litres remaining.
Without a fuel delivery, the main water production facility in northern Gaza will be shut, depriving the entire population of access to drinking water. The same shutdown will happen in another day for the middle and south of Gaza, affecting 1.9 million people, the Associated Press news agency reports.
Unlike other #nuclear#states , #France has chosen to reprocess its nuclear #waste on a massive scale, first at La Hague and then partly in... #Russia .While this saves 20% of #natural#uranium in #French nuclear #power#plants ,the #choice is politically highly questionable, since not only has it already accumulated 100 tonnes of #plutonium stored in France, which represents an enormous #risk , but it also contributes to financing the #Russian#state and, consequently, its #war in #Ukraine .

So my winter experiment of trying to soley use the electrcity (which here is 100 percent hydro) rather than use our log burner which is the obn,ly way bar the immersion heater to have ch ,wasnt entirely succesful .Late Autumn was fine we did without either.Biut winter ,Nov ,Dec and Jan we had to use the fire as the electricity was hugely expensive ,Feb we mixed but even so our bill went from £223 for Jan to well over £300 for feb when we used a mix
This #technology is still in its infancy and the biggest challenge will be how to effectively capture #CO2 - but it's hoped advances like this could slow the planet's rapid warming.
It could go catastrophically wrong. But some context: international #maritime shipping has already gone horrifyingly wrong.
Until Obama, there were no emissions standards. And he only got some within a certain distance of most of the US coast. Ships now have two fuel tanks to comply.
An overturned vessel has caused a huge oil spill along Trinidad and Tobago’s coastline, in what the Caribbean country’s prime minister described as a “national emergency” on Sunday.

An innovative bio-electrochemical #fuel cell, discovered by University of California, Los Angeles, that can harness the metabolic processes of microbes in dirt to generate renewable, perpetual electricity to power small devices. It shows promise and potential to be an "eternal" power source with more research and development.
SAF is produced through processes like Fischer-Tropsch which converts #biomass to liquid #fuel or hydroprocessing which treats feedstocks with #hydrogen. Recent tests saw #Airbus and #Boeing aircraft complete 100% SAF flights, opening certification for airlines to blend more SAF. #CleanFuel#FlyGreen#ClimateImpact#ZeroCarbon
