Here we share optimistic predictions of unlimited green energy from the earth. But the development is controlled by the worst evil corporations and billionaires now destroying the climate and biosphere and sponsoring mass poverty and genocide to boost private profit.

¡Geothermal Is Suddenly Hot! + Quaise deep Geo

Written by Jennifer L. Schenker — Geothermal Is Suddenly Hot

On October 28 Mazama Energy, a venture capital-backed U.S. company announced a technologically significant leap for clean energy: the creation of the world’s hottest Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) at its pilot site in Newberry, Oregon at an unprecedented 629 °F (331 °C) bottomhole temperature. This breakthrough sets a new global benchmark for geothermal technology and marks a critical step towards delivering low-cost, carbon-free baseload power at terawatt-scale.

Harnessing super-hot rock resources will allow Mazama to extract 10x more power density, use 75% less water and drill 80% fewer wells than current approaches, according to the company.

“With geothermal, you get global, round-the-clock energy that is carbon-free, cost-stable, and grid-independent,” Sriram Vasantharajan, CEO of Mazama Energy, said in a statement. The Newberry pilot provides a blueprint for unlocking baseload, utility-scale, carbon-free energy from the Earth’s crust worldwide, which is what the next generation of AI and cloud infrastructure requires.”

Although it uses the same technology as the oil and gas industry, geothermal is different from fracking in key ways. To extract oil and gas, a company drills into the ground and injects water and chemicals into the earth to create new fractures that pull fossil fuels to the surface. In conventional geothermal, the drills are used to locate natural water flows underground, which transfer the heat back up. For enhanced geothermal systems like Super Hot Rocks, only water is injected to create pathways in the hot rocks to transfer heat back up to the surface.

Mazama Energy, along with its partners, are trying to prove something that’s never been done in this way before — harnessing heat two miles deep beneath the earth’s surface to generate enough electricity to power homes.

Under Trump’s new law, Oregon could lose big on solar and wind energy projects.. President Donald Trump, however, has advanced policies that are often counter to Oregon’s renewable goals. The administration’s attacks on wind and solar production are making it harder to add these renewable energy resources to the grid. But the development of geothermal as a renewable energy source is something his administration does support, and it has provided millions in funding.

Economic and Social Strategies for Adapting to Worst-Case Climate Change

A world with temperatures 3 to 5°C higher than pre-industrial levels would be vastly different from the one we inhabit today.

On 22nd October 2024 by Garry Rogers at garryrogers.com via https://wp.me/pIJl9-EyC at https://wp.me/pIJl9-EyC Telegram t.me/thefreeonline

The World Bank[i] cautions that many regions would be unable to adapt to such a temperature increase. Ecosystems would collapse, crops would fail, extreme weather events would become more frequent and severe, and rising sea levels would reshape coastlines and inundate major cities. The social and economic foundations of global civilization would be strained to their limits.

This article outlines four key strategies that towns and farms can implement to prepare for and adapt to a changed world. While these strategies alone cannot fully prepare us for the scale of the impending disruption, they represent essential steps towards building resilience and maintaining some semblance of societal stability.

Universal Basic Income (UBI) and Job Guarantee Programs

As climate change disrupts traditional economic sectors and displaces workers, we need new systems to ensure basic economic security. At the local level, communities can experiment with and advocate for these programs.

Universal Basic Income (UBI) could provide a crucial safety net as people transition between precarious forms of employment[ii]. For communities, this might involve piloting a small-scale UBI program, starting with the most vulnerable community members, partnering with nearby communities to create a regional UBI pilot, or advocating at the state and federal level for UBI policies.

Alternatively, a job guarantee program focused on climate adaptation and mitigation work could both provide employment and address crucial climate-related needs[iii]. This could involve creating local government jobs focused on climate resilience projects or establishing a community corps that provides training and employment in climate-adaptive skills.

These programs will be essential not just for individual wellbeing, but for maintaining social stability in the face of severe economic disruption. Without them, there is a risk of widespread poverty, social unrest, and the collapse of local economies.

‘Live Wolf Protected Wolf’ yell 10,000 in Madrid ‘Lobo vivo, lobo protegido

sale en español + el video más abajo

There are over a million licensed hunters in Spain.. and most of them would love to shoot a wolf. But last week over 10,000 people marched in Madrid demanding more protection for wolves, the biggest ever demo in favour of one species and the environment..

Existing law gives minimal protection and compensation for losses of livestock.

In the last decades millions have abandoned rural life in Spain, forest and wildlife have recovered and the wolf has increased its territory somewhat, despite continual repression.

The wolf is a ‘top predator’ and a key factor in the ecological chain built up over millions of years. Studies in the US show that reintroducing wolves completely transformed the habitats. eg. they controlled the plague of deer which had destroyed tree shoots, leading to forest regeneration, leading to stabilising watersheds leading to beaver dams, leading to fish revival leading to….etc.. (see video)

Permaculture Project: reinvent ourselves

Why start with: what permaculture means? Because many people don’t know what it means, A lot of people think that it’s the normal agriculture with nothing different and that you are crazy because in this time of crisis, catastrophes and war you think only about nature and having some lush vegetables in your garden…but permaculture or synergistic agriculture, as you prefer, is not only a method to work the soil and have lush and sane vegetables but it’s above all “taking care of people”.

Rio treaty ‘written for billionaires’..283 paragraphs of fluff.

How “Sustainability” Became “Sustained Growth”

The draft and probably final declaration is 283 paragraphs of fluff. It suggests that the 190 governments due to approve it have, in effect, given up on multilateralism, given up on the world and given up on us.

The Rio Declaration rips up the basic principles of environmental action. In 1992 world leaders signed up to something called “sustainability”. Few of them were clear about what it meant; I suspect that many of them had no idea. Perhaps as a result, it did not take long for this concept to mutate into something subtly different: “sustainable development”. Then it made a short jump to another term: “sustainable growth”. And now, in the 2012 Earth Summit text that world leaders are about to adopt, it has subtly mutated once more: into “sustained growth”…. Continue reading “Rio treaty ‘written for billionaires’..283 paragraphs of fluff.”

Agenda 21: Sustainabilty or buckets of Greenwash??

Here in Spain local right wing council’s are competing to declare support for Agenda 21, Sustainability, Environmental awareness, etc. All good citizens are urged to take part, and the response is good. Because everyone knows by now that we’re destroying the life supporting mechanisms of the planet.

Okay it’s super necessary that we all take part, but without touching the rampant consumption that is the base of capitalism, we are all pissing against a gale force wind.

Suddenly AGENDA 21 is all the fashion, nobody mentions that it was first agreed in 1992 at the Rio Summit, and has taken almost 20 years to get off the drawing board. Meanwhile every field of environment, climate and biodiversity crises have been taking giant steps backwards.

It seems like Agenda 21 may be used by corrupt business and politicos as one more LOAD OF GREENWASH and even an excuse to CUT SERVICES in the name of sustainability. No reason not to support the idea, I support it, while exposing the hypocritical cant of those profiting from destroying our planet.

” The world’s leading ozone destroyer takes credit for leadership in ozone protection. A mammoth greenhouse gas emitter professes the precautionary approach to global warming. A major agrichemical manufacturer trades in a pesticide so hazardous it has been banned in many countries, while implying it is helping feed the hungry. A petrochemical firm uses the waste from one polluting process as raw material for another hazardous process, and boasts of an important recycling initiative. Another giant multinational cuts timber from virgin rainforest, replaces it with monoculture plantations and calls the project “sustainable forest development.”

”Welcome to the world of GREENWASH, where transnational corporations (TNCs) are preserving and expanding their markets by posing as friends of the environment and enemies of poverty. Greenwash takes many forms: from the pious concern for the environment expressed in expensive advertising campaigns, to the “continuous improvement” ballyhooed in voluntary codes of conduct; from the creation of benign-sounding corporate front groups, to the participation of TNCs in environmental conferences and events. All these efforts share the goal of avoiding national and international sanctions on dirty TNC operations, which are at the root of many global environmental crises.”
