Did you know that putting floating solar on only 10% of the surface of all the reservoirs that humans have built could provide 110% of the electricity that we now are producing? Well, now you do.

I am not saying that the impact of doing all that on e.g. the global amount of precipitation or the climate will be measurable.

However, I believe that mass-implementing technology can be a game change, e.g. for . 1) [link follows shortly]

Another example I've read and talked about in my TL is a city in Italy that uses coble-stone...

Imagine that you bought three pounds of vegetables, and immediately threw out two before starting to cook with the remaining pound.

Crazy, right?

But something like that is exactly what you do every time you put gas into your 's tank.
cars are that horrifyingly inefficient.

I wrote a thing on cars, and cars.

This makes more food per acre, and could help bring down food prices."

this is incredible. Hanging solar panels a few meters above crops of tomatoes and jalapeños multiplied their yield 2-3x, used substantially less water, controlled temperatures, and increased the output of the solar panels https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2301355120
