Solar farm to power Philly government buildings gains momentum after Covid, supply chain delays The 80 MW Adams County solar farm is anticipated to power 22% of the demand coming from Philadelphia government buildings, as a significant step towards the city’s goal of sourcing 100% of its electricity from renewables by 2030.
Recurrent Energy completes Mississippi’s largest solar installation under a Build Transfer Agreement The Sunflower Solar Station is one of the first utility scale projects to be constructed in the United States using the BTA model.
The Hydrogen Stream: Novel tech for extracting hydrogen gas from liquid carriers North Carolina State University developed an energy-efficient strategy for room-temperature hydrogen release from liquid hydrogen carriers, which uses less rhodium. Elsewhere in the world, Airbus launched its Zero Emission Development Centre in the UK, Toshiba ESS teamed up with Fusion Fuel to target Australian and European markets, and Corfo signed agreements to finance three renewable hydrogen projects with GNL Quintero, iCAP, and Air Liquide in Chile.

Very encouraging… but still a long way from undoingnthe damage caused by Pollution by the 200 year old Industrial Age.
To put things in perspective….
• US will need about 18,000TWhrs/yr by 2050 to meet ALL ITS ENERGY NEEDS ANDVELIM8NATE POLLUTION.
• This will require a 15TW PV System needing 100,000km2 of Sun Exposure.
• Using AgriVoltaics, this can be EASILY ACHIEVED by using just 2.5% of the 4Million km2 of Farmland in USA.. TODAY… as you continue to grow food below and generate Solar-PV Electricity above… NO NEW LAND IS NEEDED…
At present… the USA generates 840TWhrs/yr FROM ALL RenewablecEnergy Sources (Solar, Wind, Hydro )… excluding Biomass (which pollutes due to combustion)
So you can see… why USA has a long long way to go to be a ZERO POLLUTION US of A… from 840TWhrs/yr to 18,000TWhrs/yr by 2050.. over 20 Times more in 30 years…
