Tesla’s New Gigafactory is entirely “Off Grid” and powered by 100% renewable energy. Natural Blaze.

Fascinating.

The decision was taken to not have any natural gas or anything else built there in the way of fossil fuel facilities so they had to come up with entirely new ways of solving the energy problems.

And they did!

‘The Fight is still on’: Hundreds Protest the Sex Slave accord in South Korea. Common Dreams.

Very sad that this happened and they didn’t have any negotiation with those affected.

That these things ‘happen’ in wars, after wars and before wars is appalling.

So, stop the wars.

Really, too difficult for humanity?

Why?

Drowning in Money: the crazy public spending that makes Flooding inevitable. Guardian.

Very well analysed.

Money going to landowners and encouraging flooding because the rivers have to get rid of  the water. Quickly.

No.

The well-documented evidence and practice to alleviate flooding is there and being ignored while what good practice does remain is being dismantled and actively discouraged.

Crazy.

But Mobiot has the right understanding – feudalism is all.
