Saudi Arabia has been stagnant for ages and instead of using its immense, finite oil wealth to capture the market in a long-term, geopolitically relevant, high value industry (like Taiwan and chips) they're blowing it on vanity projects and second tier sports teams.
Incredible.
This is very exciting, could be a good transition tech for floating offshore wind, especially for building supply chains in other parts of the world.

I think in any normal year...
If England went into a quarter-final against a side that had comfortably knocked out Brazil...
With Saka, Rice and James not fit to start, Livramento already ruled out, another right-back option in Quansah suspended... and a potential Rice replacement having broken his arm in a freak accident...
AND the game coming just 5 days after one of the most exhilarating, gruelling England matches of all-time... beating Mexico, in the Azteca... a place they hadn't lost since 2013...
And you concede the 1st goal, for the 2nd time in 3 knock-out matches...
I think a lot of manager's would panic and think "man, this might not be our year."
Not Tuchel. He finds a way and his team, which are so, so gritty and determined, find a way.
What a guy!
Kind of astonishing that western america has this massive water issue and hasn't really sped up the implementation of floating solar and canal arch solar
@B74429Br@mzjacobson “Lithium-air configurations present a theoretical energy density limit of 12,000 Wh/kg, a ceiling that matches the energy capacity of conventional gasoline." How about reading?
Europe's most awarded zoo just turned its parking lot into a power plant without removing any parking spaces.
Pairi Daiza in Belgium covered 80 percent of its 7,000 parking spaces with 62,750 solar panels, creating one of the largest solar parking lots in Europe. The installation produces 20 megawatts at peak output, more than the entire zoo consumes. The surplus charges electric vehicles on site and sells the rest back to the grid.
The parking lot still functions as a parking lot. The panels sit above the cars, shading them in summer, keeping them dry in rain, and generating electricity from space that was already paved and already occupied.
No wilderness was converted. No farmland was taken. No new land was used.
The US has an estimated 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sun, generating nothing, absorbing heat, and contributing to the urban heat island effect in every city they're in.
A 2023 analysis estimated that covering existing US parking infrastructure with solar canopies could generate enough electricity to power roughly half the country.
SO WE... stocked our ships full of British beer and bullets
We mobilised the navy and we called up the marines
We sailed two weeks 'til we reached the Falkland Islands
So we could teach a lesson to those bloody Argentines!
Congrats on being the millionth twitter user to misunderstand the whole point of Three Lions, a misunderstanding that could easily be avoided by simply listening to the lyrics of the fucking song.
