Hawaiian Electric a second evening of rolling blackouts…

Disappointed by the false claims in this article about Oahu’s recent rolling blackouts and their cause – it’s time to set the record straight on Renewable Energy.

1️⃣ Don’t buy into the misinformation spread by the Fossil Fuel industry.
2️⃣ The truth? Renewable Energy stands out for its reliability.
3️⃣ Opting for decentralized power generation is the smart choice.

Don’t be swayed by misleading narratives. 🌿💡

Norway votes for deep-sea mining despite environmental concerns | Deep-sea mining | The Guardian

Norway has taken a step closer to becoming the first country in the world to open up its seabed for commercial deep-sea mining after giving it the go-ahead in a highly contentious parliamentary vote on Tuesday.


The decision comes despite warnings from scientists that it could have a devastating impact on marine life, and opposition from the EU and the UK, which have called for a temporary ban on deep-sea mining because of environmental concerns.
The proposal, voted in by 80-20 by Norway’s parliament after attracting cross-party support, is expected to speed up exploration of minerals – including precious metals – that are in high demand for green technologies.
