Rare freshwater mussels in the Seine, solar surging across Europe, elephant coexistence in Nepal, macaw school in Brazil, hope for the Yanomami, the Advanced Dwelling Unit, the Sun Day idea, and more!
Lots of good news from all quarters. It's great to hear Brazilian efforts to increase their solar generation capacity. Floating solar arrays on reservoirs has a great utility. I always am a supporter of geothermal and Fervo's efforts. My state of Oregon has enormous geothermal potential. Can you discover what technology advances can promote small scale hydropower generation? We're used to thinking of enormous facilities like Hoover And Bonneville but why not have micro-facilities generating power from much smaller rivers?
Amazing collection of positive environmental news, Sam - thank you for your great work in compiling it; we realize it is a tremendous amount of work for you - you inspire us!
Love the one about the cows - crazy production increase !
While I find some hope in solar panels everywhere. They are just artificial leaves, and they do create obvious conflicts with biodiversity just like windmills. There is certainly room for them to be put over canals, reservoirs and total deserts.
I look forward to hearing you talk more about fission based energy production, as this technologies is way more synergistic with biodiversity and waste treatment. Fusion at large scale is still a decade or so away. But there is all sorts of ways to get fission back into the game.
A lot of that "nuclear waste" chilling in secure storage areas is likely to be good fuel for next gen fission or possibly? fusion reactors. Currently those wastes are being used predominately, as far as I know, for biomedical purposes - better beneficial reuses will likely become available over the next decade or so.

Thank you so much for this compilation. I really need this kind of encouraging good news this week.
Thank you so much!

When I say fission, I'm talking about eVinci and https://www.corepower.energy/
