#Hydropower Developer No-Show Leaves #Navajos with More Questions than Answers
Chapter officials table hydropower resolution, ask for more community info sessions as FERC seeks to end a policy blocking permits on Tribal land absent Tribal support

Excerpts: #KayentaAZ— "On a cloudy, rainy Wednesday afternoon, the Kayenta Chapter held its monthly meeting where a resolution by #NatureAndPeopleFirst was first on the agenda. Impacted community members from the coal-lease area on Black Mesa (#DziłYíjiin) filled the chapter house to voice concern about the resolution. But before discussions could begin, Chapter officials tabled the resolution because the developers didn’t show up.
"Nature and People First (#NPF) are developers who are pushing #PumpedStorageHydropower (#PSH) on the #NavajoNation, particularly in the #BlackMesa region. Pumped storage pumps water uphill during low electricity prices and then releases it back downhill through generators when electricity prices are high, producing electricity and revenue. Pumped storage #hydropower, which requires huge amounts of water, is different than hydrogen, which other developers wanted piped across the Nation."
[...]
"#TóNizhóníÁní (#TNA) e-filed comments objecting to #FERC’s proposed policy reversal along with the #CenterForBiologicalDiversity, #AmericanRivers and more than a dozen #tribes across the US. 'For decades, #CoalMining on #BlackMesa has not only extracted coal but also billions of gallons of #groundwater to support the #mining operation,' wrote #AdrianHerder with Tó Nizhóní Ání. 'Energy projects that propose to use large amounts of water for #EnergyProduction should be vetted diligently.' Water access and reliability is crucial for our communities on Black Mesa and the southwest region of the United States.
"Tribal communities understand the resources and impacts by industry. Any project that proposes to use groundwater when it has been heavily impacted and in a state of recovery should not be considered for continued industry use."

Growth, Not Austerity - All-In
Zambia has a long history of mining, since it’s the second biggest copper producer in Africa. But things have kicked up a notch in the past couple of years as a result of the metal’s critical role in wind and solar power. @thexylom’s Kang-Chun Cheng looks at Zambia’s relationship with China, a huge investor since the 1970s, and what happened when she tried to visit the Copperbelt area of the country.

There’s a big growth in installation of solar panels on houses around the world as householders just get on with it, without waiting for the companies.
It’s mostly happening in the developing world with Pakistan leading the way, but it’s not showing up in official data.
Basically, Pakistanis were buying huge quantities of very cheap Chinese solar panels and putting them up themselves. Pakistan, they reported, “has become the third-largest importer of Chinese solar modules, acquiring a staggering 13GW in the first half of this year alone.” This is particularly astonishing because the country’s entire official electricity generating capacity is only 46 GW.
#Factchecking #KamalaHarris on #energyproduction, independence
- Overall #USenergy production is at a #recordhigh, and, by some definitions, the #US. is #energyindependent.
- However, in one key regard, the #US. is not #energy independent: The U.S. is a net importer of #crudeoil, which keeps the U.S. and its #economy beholden to #overseas developments.

Why is it that this is not on the news ? This is huge , one more of Biden’s accomplishments!!
“In 2023, energy production in the United States rose 4% to nearly 103 quadrillion British thermal units (quads), a record. Energy consumption in the United States fell 1% to 94 quads during the same period. Production exceeded consumption by 9 quads, more than at any other time in our records, which date to 1949.”
Congratulations to Prof. Michael Saliba for being presented with the Stuart R. Wenhem Young Professional Award 🥳He is researching #perowskit materials which are regarded as a promising breakthrough for sustainable #energyproduction.
