Brazil’s victory for the planet and democracy: seven lessons from Lula’s win

The trouncing of the far right provides a playbook for social and environmental movements in other countries facing elections, including the US, Spain and France

📰 Solar Panels Save Cranberry Bogs 🌎 Massachusetts: Long‑idle cranberry bogs are producing again thanks to agrivoltaics that make the economics work. ☀️ Panels raised high above the vines let farmers keep cultivating while earning steady land‑lease income, a dual‑revenue model that finally makes cranberry farming here viable again. 🤝 An example of how clean energy can help farmers regain stability instead of walking away from land they couldn’t afford to farm. 🔗 More https://electrek.co/2026/10/16/solar-panels-are-bringing-idle-cranberry-bogs-back-to-life/ #SolarPunkSunday #Agrivoltaics #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #Climate #Environment

Solar panels are bringing idle cranberry bogs back to life

Solar panels are helping two Massachusetts cranberry bogs grow berries again, with lease income making farming viable on both sites.

The UK now has way more batteries than pump storage. 3.1GW supplied by batteries on Sunday, a new record. https://www.energydashboard.co.uk/live #Energy #RenewableEnergy

Oil spills from war are spreading towards coral reefs and mangroves in the Strait of Hormuz. Fossil fuel dependence puts people, nature and economies in harm’s way. To prevent future harm, we must end that dependence and build a future powered by clean, decentralised renewables. https://www.dw.com/en/iran-war-oil-slicks-environmental-catastrophe-tankers-hit-by-missiles-protected-ecosystems/a-79327092 #iran #hormuz #war #peace #oilspills #fossilfuels #renewables #renewableenergy

No one should have to endure bombing, displacement, blackouts or soaring bills before governments recognise that modern, decentralised renewable energy systems offer greater security and stability. https://apnews.com/article/iran-war-climate-change-oil-gas-prices-48bb12e1cd5713764bca103e9104309d #Iran #war #peace #renewables #renewableenergy #fossilflation #fossilfuels #climate #energy

Europe’s new renewable-energy champion is a surprise. Europe likes to think of itself as a champion of renewable energy. In fact the rate of solar-power installation on the continent is plateauing. In 2025 the European Union added 67.2 gigawatts (GW) of new generating capacity, scarcely more than in the previous year. Romania, however, is leading the EU in combining solar power and batteries. https://mediafaro.org/article/20260827-europes-new-renewable-energy-champion-is-a-surprise?mf_channel=mastodon&action=forward #RenewableEnergy #Europe #Romania #SolarPower #Batteries #Energy

“Over the first five months of 2026 [in the United States], utility-scale solar output rose 21.6 percent from a year earlier, while coal generation dropped 10.9 percent. The agency projects that solar, wind, and battery storage will add about 83 gigawatts of new capacity by May 2027. Fossil and nuclear capacity are set to slip by nearly 4.7 gigawatts over the same period.” Nuclear power may be cleaner than fossil fuels but it takes years to implement and the costs are exorbitant, not to mention what to do with the radioactive waste. Wind and solar should be the focus now. “[Google and Meta] moved for the same reason. Solar is now the cheapest and fastest new power they can buy, and they need staggering amounts of it for their datacenters. That appetite is the driver of the curve.” #FossilFuels #RenewableEnergy
