Electronically-assisted-astronomy photographs captured with my rig: the moon [top], the sun [middle], and the Orion Nebula [bottom] David Schneider First, I purchased a used Canon T6 DSLR on eBay. My next purchase was a modified gun sight to make it easier to aim the camera. That required a solar filter, of course.

In a region known for long, dark winter nights, Polar Night Energy is building a system in the city of Tampere that can heat buildings with stored solar energy — all day, all night, and all winter long. In this way, sand enables solar power to keep people warm, even during the darkest and coldest Finnish nights. Eronen says, laughing.

Hertz is starting to sell some of its Tesla Model 3s and they are going for pretty cheap – as low as $14,000 with the used EV tax credit.

During the late innings of the ICE-age (as in the Internal Combustion Engine age) it has become clear that feeding gasoline and diesel to the next billion new cars is not going to be easy, or cheap. The first eye-opener for large scale solar was the Austin Energy PPA last year that was priced at 5 cents. It really isn’t a fair fight.

As countries transition away from fossil fuels to green sources of energy like wind and solar, there will be natural lulls in energy production due to weather conditions. Energy consumption also tends to peak during early evening hours , which is inconveniently right when solar energy output decreases.
