Should <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GolfCourses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GolfCourses</a> Be Converted Into <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Solar</a> Or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Windfarms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windfarms</a>?by Tom Hale, 2/25/2025"It sounds like one of President Donald Trump’s most dreaded nightmares: what if the world’s golf courses were transformed into wind and solar farms? A new study has highlighted that the land occupied by golf courses in the 10 countries with the most courses could generate up to 842 GW of solar power and 659 GW of wind power – far exceeding the existing installed capacity in many cases."If the US were to transition entirely to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Renewable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Renewable</a> energy by 2035, it would require thousands of square kilometers for onshore wind and even more for solar farms. In theory, the space occupied by US golf courses alone could provide about 20 percent of this capacity, the study concludes."Another finding was that more land is allocated to golf courses than renewable energy production across many countries, including the US and the UK."Maintaining these lush greens comes at a steep environmental cost too – sapping <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#water</a> resources, destroying <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> habitats, and relying heavily on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fertilizers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fertilizers</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pesticides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pesticides</a>. The researchers point out that golf courses occupy vast amounts of land yet serve a relatively small, often <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rich</a> subset of the population."'Golf courses, which often occupy vast areas of land and are accessible only through exclusive membership, highlight significant land use conflicts. The concept of energy justice argues that the benefits and burdens of energy supply and land use should be distributed equitably across society. In this context, the general public could benefit if decision-makers decide to use these exclusive golf courses for renewable energy projects,' the study authors write."Some countries have taken this idea seriously in the past. For instance, Japan has turned some of its disused golf courses, built in the 1980s during a boom of interest in the sport, into fields of solar panels."While the researchers say they’re not proposing that renewable energy companies swoop in to seize the world’s golf courses, they do suggest their project highlights the need for better discussions on land use and energy infrastructure."'Our study does not advocate for the direct conversion of golf courses, but it highlights the vast potential for renewable energy on similarly large and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/underutilized" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#underutilized</a> areas,' Dr Jann Weinand, lead author of the study and Head of the Integrated Scenarios department at the Institute Jülich Systems Analysis at Forschungszentrum Jülich, said in a statement."'In light of the ongoing debates about land use for renewables, it is crucial to consider how we allocate land overall – especially when significant space is dedicated to activities that benefit only a limited segment of the population,' added Dr Weinand."The study is published in the journal Environmental Research Communications."Source: <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/should-golf-courses-be-converted-into-solar-or-wind-farms/ar-AA1zL3qG" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/should-golf-courses-be-converted-into-solar-or-wind-farms/ar-AA1zL3qG</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Degrowth</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EatTheRich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EatTheRich</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewablesNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RenewablesNow</a>

DoomsdaysCWExcerpt from "How to make your yard a friendlier place for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollinators</a>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pollination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pollination</a> doesn't only produce more plants – it also helps make fruits and vegetables larger, more abundant, and even more flavorful.by Abby Jackson, January 22, 2024 The Cool Down [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#US</a>-based publication]How to Support Pollinators in Your Yard"Plants are the foundation for every living thing on our planet, and without pollination, plants would be unable to reproduce and our food supply would be at risk."Here are a few things you can do to support their safety and protect our food resources for years to come: - Avoid <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pesticides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pesticides</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/herbicides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#herbicides</a>, and synthetic <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fertilizers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fertilizers</a> as much as possible. - Choose flowering plants that produce pollen and nectar, that are native to your area, and that support a variety of pollinators. Avoid hybrid plant varieties, as they've been bred specifically for aesthetics and may have unattractive nectar. - You can use the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NationalWildlifeFederation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NationalWildlifeFederation</a>'s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativePlant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativePlant</a> finder to discover plants in your area that attract pollinators. The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AudubonSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AudubonSociety</a> has a similar search that identifies native plants in your area that attract birds. - Follow seasonal changes and diversify your yard with plants that bloom at different times of the year for year-round blooms. - Remove <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InvasivePlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InvasivePlants</a> and weeds when possible. - Provide a hydration station. Birdbaths are hazards for many pollinators because they can easily drown in them and because they are preyed on by other animals. Filling a shallow bowl with pebbles or marbles to a low water level will allow pollinators to drink while sitting on a perch. [I do create "bee baths" with marbles and rocks. I will be very cautious if I decide to provide "bird baths" this summer] - Provide nesting sides, like a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeeHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeHouse</a>. [Old logs can be good for some bees] - Use certain plants strictly as food for the larvae of pollinators to ensure they will have enough energy to grow and frequent your yard.

Bibliolater 📚 📜 🖋🔴 🇨🇳 The hidden costs of inflation: A critical analysis of industrial development and environmental consequences“As the demand for energy continues to grow, particularly in developing countries, the use of fossil fuels is likely to increase, leading to further increases in CO2 emissions. China is the world’s largest emitter of CO2 emissions, accounting for over a quarter of global emissions. FP, IG, and GNE are identified as key drivers of the increase in CO2 emissions in China. CO2 emissions increase global temperatures, precipitation patterns, extreme weather events, and ocean levels. There is a need to shift towards cleaner and more sustainable sources of energy, such as renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydropower.”Zheng D, Addas A, Waseem LA, Asad Naqvi SA, Ahmad M, et al.
