THE SOCIAL CONTAGION OF SOLAR PACKS A LOT OF POWER The social contagion of solar packs a lot of power. People with lots of neighbors who have solar panels are more likely to have solar panels themselves. By Sarah DeWeerdt. June 1, 2021. The strongest predictor of whether a house will have solar panels is the density of solar panels on neighboring properties, according to a new study. THE UNREALIZED POTENTIAL OF SEAWEED FARMING TO CLEAN UP The devastating consequences of agricultural nutrient pollution in marine ecosystems may have an agricultural solution: seaweed farming.

AGRICULTURAL FERTILIZER IS A MAJOR SOURCE OF GREENHOUSE GAS The growth of the livestock industry, and with it, the application of manure-based fertilizer to farmland, was the major driver of N2O emissions in South America and Africa. For example, in Brazil alone, the excessive application of manure-based fertilizers has caused a 120% increase in agricultural N2O emissions there, over the last 40

years.

NEW CONCRETE RECIPE SOAKS UP TWICE THE CARBON OF THE Concrete, the most widely used material in the world, has come under scrutiny recently for its large carbon footprint. But concrete also has a natural ability to soak up carbon dioxide from the air over its lifetime, albeit very slowly.

‘A NANOSCALE SOLUTION TO A GIGATON POLLUTION PROBLEM’ Researchers have developed a unique sponge that uses nanotechnology to scrub phosphate pollution out of water, and possibly repurpose this precious material as fertilizer back on agricultural fields.

Aliens or maybe even FLOAT SOLAR PANELS ON RESERVOIRS BEHIND DAMS FOR MORE ENERGY Solar farms need vast swaths of land that might not always be easily available. So why not put them on water? Many countries in Asia are starting to do that by sprinkling floating solar panels on lakes, ponds, and reservoirs. HOW MUCH ENERGY WILL THE WORLD NEED? Since 1990, 1.1 billion people have escaped from extreme poverty, with more than 140 million entering the burgeoning middle class every year . . . History suggests that as these citizens of the world find more money in their pockets, they will spend much of it—directly or indirectly—on energy.
