#renewables
The hashtag #renewables is being used on Mastodon to share news and commentary about the shift away from fossil fuels. Posts include Greenpeace warning that oil spills from war threaten coral reefs in the Strait of Hormuz, coverage of Argentina's first solar-powered train, record solar and wind generation meeting 80% of demand on Australia's grid, EU and French financing for Costa Rica's electricity modernisation, and pieces on next-generation geothermal energy and the fossil fuel industry's shifting denial tactics.
Why now: A cluster of positive renewable-energy milestones and war-related oil spill warnings made clean energy a focal topic in environmental discussions.
