The Upgrader:
“”Unsustainable fossil fuel systems are costing nature an estimated $5 billion every hour, according to a major report by the United Nations.
That translates to nearly $45 trillion in environmental damage each year, a staggering figure that reflects the hidden costs of how energy is produced, transported, and consumed across the globe.
These costs are not directly paid in markets, but they are very real. They include the accelerating impacts of climate change, widespread air and water pollution, destruction of ecosystems, and long-term damage to human health. From oil extraction and refining to fossil-fueled electricity and transport, every stage of the system contributes to environmental degradation.
Burning fossil fuels remains the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, driving global warming and increasing the frequency of extreme weather events. At the same time, pollution from these systems is linked to millions of premature deaths each year, placing an additional burden on healthcare systems and economies.
The report warns that these impacts are deeply interconnected, forming part of a broader global crisis that threatens economic stability, food security, and future development. Continuing on the current path could push natural systems toward irreversible tipping points.
However, the outlook is not without hope. The transition to renewable energy, cleaner technologies, and more sustainable economic models could significantly reduce these damages while unlocking trillions in long-term benefits.🌍⚡””

“”China just finished the largest energy project in human history — 50 gigawatts from one location in the Gobi Desert.
The Kubuqi Desert Renewable Energy Megabase covers 100,000 hectares of Inner Mongolia with 35 gigawatts of solar and 15 gigawatts of wind across the same landscape. Construction required 280,000 workers over five years installing 120 million solar panels and 4,000 wind turbines across terrain receiving 3,200 sunshine hours and average winds of 8.5 meters per second year round.
Ultra-high-voltage DC transmission lines carry electricity 2,200 kilometers east to Beijing Shanghai and Guangdong at 80 percent efficiency, delivering 44 gigawatts net. Annual generation of 110 terawatt-hours powers 100 million Chinese homes, replacing coal plants emitting 88 million tons of CO2 annually from this single location.
China approved four additional desert megabases targeting 200 gigawatts of Gobi renewable capacity by 2030 under the national energy plan.

Plans to change unused farmland in California to a 21 GW solar project, probably the largest in the world.

Iowa has the highest percentage share of wind energy of any state. However Texas gets much more Megawatts of wind.

I think of a varactor as a dynamically varying capacitor: as the AC applied to it changes, the capacitance changes – so if this varactor is in a circuit with tuned circuits for input, output and idler, it can double or triple the input at the output.
I needed to double the 121.5 MHz emergency locator transmitter frequency to 243 MHz so I used the 2N3904 collector junction as the varactor diode.
Venus is hot enough to melt lead!! And it’s all because of CO2 in the atmosphere. Just a very small change in the Earth’s CO2 causes a very large change in the climate.
