Cette locution adverbiale s'est imposée comme un élément récurrent du français oral contemporain. Peut-on voir dans cette prolifération un simple effet de mode, ou faut-il y lire le reflet d'une société heurtée, en quête de cohérence dans un monde désordonné?

"L'attacco contro #FrancescaAlbanese è un presagio di un mondo senza regole dove a stati canaglia,come #USA e #Israele,viene permesso di commettere #criminiDiGuerra e #genocidio senza risponderne o fermarsi".
The sanctioning by the Trump administration of Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur, is an ominous harbinger of the end of the rule of international law.
The First Minister said that the Scottish Government is looking to medically evacuate children suffering from injuries caused by Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.
He added, however, that this “requires the support of the UK Government” and revealed that he has already written to Prime Minister Keir Starmer urging him to support the evacuations to hospitals in Scotland.

This morning onboard the Rainbow Warrior III, we commemorated the 40th anniversary of the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior I and the death of our colleague and friend, photographer Fernando Pereira. Together with Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, we held a dawn ceremony to reflect on that moment, and to acknowledge the importance of the fight for a nuclear-free Pacific, which continues to this day. #nzpol
@Greenpeace Aotearoa Rainbow Warrior now that sounds like a concept. Inbetween butt-fucking an occasional sword fight or what? And you can't sink it? I bet Israel can and probably will.
Well, I suppose you can just say anyone waging war is a terrorist including leaders of countries. I wouldn't disagree with doing that except that it removes any distinction the term might have that would make it useful.

@Jarasy The worst case of targetting civilians was Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan had completely run out of fuel so could no longer defend itself in any way. You are constantly told that the bombs were needed to end the war but Russia had already started to take over Japan from the north and Japan had made it clear that they wished to surrender to the US rather than Russia but the sticking point was that they wished to retain their Emporer. The US chose two non military target because they wanted to have good examples of before and after photos whereas all the military targets were already destroyed and cities like Tokyo were already flattened. So two civilian targets (I do accept there were storage camps etc. but do not accept that they were significant military targets) were chosen for the worst two attrocities ever. Japan was then allowed to surrender and keep their Emporer. Dresden was similar in that it was also an experiment rather than an act of war but with incendaries. The ring of fire took the oxygen out of the center of the city. The city was fully working again in a couple of days but the entire population had been suffocated. Personally I do not see such acts as somehow better than Hamas or Mandella etc..
@Trocatintas Are you saying that you believe that makes it OK to become a violent oppressive terrorist? Mandella was blowing up the railway stations, working people going to work. Please explain how that is fighting the oppressive regime you speak of. Apartheid? The only member of Mandella's cell that was executed was the white guy. Given the problems in the UK with illegal immigration they will need Apartheid in the UK soon as well as most of Europe. If you listen to the speeches of Hamas you cannot tell them apart from the IDF, there is no difference. How people view the problem is normally down to which propaganda they listen to. If the power was given to Hamas the exact same situation would continue just the other war around as has happened in South Africa.
So, if I were a psychotic murderer and loved killing people all I have to do is move to a country like Israel and I can portray myself as a great guy? I can see huge holes in your logic. When, historically, were there no apartheid regimes and therefore when was the original apartheid regime that all blame derives from? From my perspective you are solely responsible for your wrong doing and you cannot blame your crime on someone else. If you murder, you murdered. Do you see the apartheid regime that preceded South Africa as responsible for South Africa's apartheid crimes? How can such crimes ever end if there is no responsibility. It does seem that you are simply being racist and wish to blame the white man yet not excuse the white man for the crimes committed against him. The only way to remain civilised is to retain ownership of ones own crimes. Nelson Mandella was an evil murderer. Most of his victims were black and had not oppressed him so he was an apartheid oppressor. Hamas do not murder those that oppressed them, they murdered many innocent women and children in exactly the same way that the IDF do. They are all exactly the same. If I were a kind person (I am not) I would say that you seem to be confused about the difference between guilt and mitigation. Nelson Mandella was guilty of terrorism but in his defence he claimed he was oppressed by Apartheid. The court heard that but as he spent most of his time abroad and travelled more than worked in SA they did not see that as true. He was arrested on his return to SA.
Nelson Mandella was an evil murderer. Most of his victims were black and had not oppressed him so he was an apartheid oppressor. Hamas do not murder those that oppressed them, they murdered many innocent women and children in exactly the same way that the IDF do.
@Trocatintas There is no such thing as "my truth" or "your truth". You seem confused again but this time between truth and opinion. The problem here is that the fact that Nelson Mandella was blowing up random people or that his wife necklaced children are facts that logically result in them being evil murderers. That he blew up railway stations where the poorer people went to work supports that. To conflate Nelson Mandella, Hamas, IDF - I would accept as opinion and you could counter that opinion but you failed to do so. You just seemed to make yet another erroneous statement in an attempt to defend some opinion without actually saying anything. You do not seem to have an opinion, you just seem to say I am wrong without being able to justify that. To say "That’s how Israel started… Nakba" is a completely empty statement. What do you mean by that and how do you believe that statement response to the debate?
@Jamie Yes. All of what you say about Hiroshima and Nagasaki is a story I repeat often to others. Part of using the A-bombs was to signal the Russians that we had them ready for practical use and were insane enough to do so.
Contrary to the public story about what ended the war, the bombs made no difference to Japan at that point. One of their generals famously said it made no difference if it was one bomb or a thousand bombs.
MacArthur and the US were insisting on unconditional surrender without giving in on that small point of saving the emporer. I had also thought that the US had finally agreed about the emporer but after reading more I believe that it was an unpublicized back door agreement so the US could claim it was unconditional while Japan got to save the emporer. I read that the actual process of returning him to his position was quietly handled by MacArthur himself some months later and billed as a spontaneous act of kindness.
I saw the links but one was opinion and the other Wikipedia. An opinion on Winnie's comment that ignored that the ANC as a whole enacted necklacing or that Nelson did not renounce her. Winnie Mandella did not actually touch 14 year old Stompie Moeketsi but she was in charge of the men there. It was even worse that the court only gave her 6 years of which she only served 2. If a white person had done that they would have been hung but that is apartheid for you.
As for the Wikipedia link. What did you expect me to reply to? If you would like some actual cited links that would be easy but it was hardly a revalation to me. There is so much worse going on today that the Nakba pales into insignificance. Wasn't Netanyahu a member of Irgun? A known terrorist organisation much like the ANC and look what happens when you give them power.
Our indignation is under control. You are told who to support, who to despise and even who to argue about. You do not doubt who is the bad guy in the Ukraine war and you are told to support Nelson Mandella in South Africa and do. We argue over Israel and Palestine for some reason although you have not given me anything to disagree with you about. The media tells us to fixate about such things. While we discuss such things entire populations like Nagorno-Karabakh cease to exist and no one notices. They are not a chose subject.
We're in an age where important video and audio online may be deleted without warning and without any ability to find it elsewhere. There's a very useful tool which lets you store an offline copy of video and audio called YT-DLP:
I don't normally like command line tools, but this is pretty easy to use. After you've installed it, you just type yt-dlp and then the URL of the video or audio, then it saves it as a DRM-free file on your computer.
It works with a variety of different video and audio platforms.
(This replaces an earlier tool called yt-dl which is no longer maintained.)

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has issued a grave warning over the dire conditions faced by tens of thousands of pregnant and breastfeeding women in Gaza, as extreme hunger continues to jeopardize their health and the survival of their newborns.
In a statement shared by UNFPA’s Arab States Regional Office on X, the agency revealed that approximately 50,000 women in Gaza “haven’t eaten for days.”
UN agencies warn that "Israel's" blockade of Gaza is driving catastrophic hunger among pregnant women and newborns, with soaring death rates and a collapsing health system.
@stefania maurizi The first thing that comes to mind is who gives a flying fuck what a psychopath says, but then beyond that if the UN were truly antisemtic they'd be siding with Israel which is 97% Ashkenazi, NOT a Semitic people and against Palestine which is 100% a Semitic people, but they're not.
Last week, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca #Albanese made headlines across the world for exposing the dozens of companies that she says have profited from #Israel’s #genocide in #Gaza. Albanese’s UN report, ‘From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide,’ goes beyond just the typical weapons-manufacturing culprits, and calls out financial institutions, educational institutions, and #BigTech companies, including #Alphabet Inc. ( #Google), #Amazon, #IBM, #Palantir, as well as many, many others.
In response, the #US Mission to the UN renewed its calls for the UN secretary-general to condemn Albanese and remove her as special rapporteur for human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
Now, world-leading economists, including former Greek Finance Minister Yanis #Varoufakis, French economist Thomas #Piketty, and Lebanese-American statistician and essayist Nassim Nicholas #Taleb, are praising Albanese for her report.
Zeteo has obtained an exclusive English copy of the economists’ open letter on Albanese’s report, in which they accuse corporations of “maintaining the Apartheid regime and enabling the subsequent genocide.”
Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, French economist Thomas Piketty, and others join open letter supporting Albanese amid US calls to remove her as the UN special rapporteur on Palestine.

En serio, si creéis que el antirracismo es aplaudir a quien, cayendo en una constante de la izquierda, "defiende" la migración porque "hacen curros que nadie quiere" y "sostienen la economia del país"... es utilitarismo.
Iba a hablar de un error de la izquierda, pero no lo es cuando ya se ha dicho por activa y por pasiva que reducir a personas a su capacidad productiva no es ni antirracista ni tampoco anticapitalista.
No considerar al antirracismo interlocutor valido es otra forma de racismo.

#USA has imposed 50% tariffs on #EU imports, and #Brussels has cancelled a $43 billion contract with #Boeing, rerouted its supply chains through #Canada, and shifted over $2 trillion worth of trade away from #Washington.
What we are seeing is the collapse of #US-EU economic relations. The total economic collapse of the West. This is a tectonic shift in global power, and the West can watch the next economic order take shape without a seat at the table.
At the same time, Trump is imposing 25% tariffs on #Japan and #SamsungRepublic, which are expected to take effect on August 1. With dozens of nations facing similar threats, this strategy will weaken Western partnerships rather than strengthen #US influence.
The #isolationism that will destroy the Evil "empire" is here to stay.

Australian Police Assault Green Party Candidate Hannah Thomas During Pro-Palestine Protest
Hannah Thomas, a lawyer and recent Green Party candidate who ran against Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the federal seat of Grayndler, has reportedly been violently assaulted by Australian police during a protest. The demonstration took place outside a company accused by protesters of cooperating with #Israel. According to reports, #Thomas sustained serious injuries to one of her eyes during her arrest and was rushed to hospital. Doctors fear she may lose her vision as a result.
A brutal massacre unfolded in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, after Israeli occupation forces targeted a crowd of starved Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid.
According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent, the devastating airstrike killed 16 civilians, including 10 children, as desperate parents stood in line to receive nutritional supplements for their little ones.
In a new horrific war crime, "Israel" bombed a queue of women and children awaiting food supplements in Deir al-Balah amid an alarming starvation crisis.
Two of Gaza’s largest hospitals have issued desperate pleas for help, warning that fuel shortages caused by Israel’s siege could soon turn the medical centres into “silent graveyards”.
The warnings from al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza City and Nasser Hospital in southern Khan Younis came on Wednesday, as Israeli forces continued to bombard the Palestinian enclave, killing at least 74 people.

An Israeli advocacy group has petitioned the Supreme Court to declare PM Netanyahu unfit for office, accusing him of breaching conflict-of-interest rules and eroding the rule of law.
The petition, filed by the NGO Democratic Fortress, accuses Netanyahu of violating his conflict-of-interest agreement and argues he should be declared "incapacitated" under the "defensive democracy" principle, according to a report by Maariv newspaper.

Israel has continued to demolish homes in the Tulkarm refugee camp as the number of displaced Palestinians rises to more than 40,000 since the military operation in the occupied West Bank began in January.
According to Israeli rights group B’Tselem, Israeli offensives in Tulkarm, Nur Shams, and Jenin camps have led to the displacement of tens of thousands.
On the evening of July 2, dozens of Israeli settlers descended on the West Bank shepherding village of Al-Muarrajat.
They broke into homes, stole around 60 sheep, and erected a small outpost inside the village. By the next morning, settlers were seen sitting alongside Israeli soldiers at the newly built outpost, now moved just meters from the village school.
Glenn #Diesen #Norway is becoming an authoritarian country. Our government, the US government, and the CIA-cutout National Endowment for Democracy ( #NED) finance "non-governmental organisations" (NGOs) such as the Norwegian Helsinki Committee to smear, intimidate, censor, and cancel dissent.
There is plenty of literature on how governments finance "NGOs" to hijack civil society and use human rights to promote regime change and wars. Besides leaving a trail of disasters behind them abroad, they also punish dissent at home.
I have been at the receiving end of endless articles and weekly smears online from this so-called human rights "NGO" for more than four years, which continues to go after my university even after I had to withdraw from all national media. Their other activities include cancelling my speaking events and doxxing me.
Now, this "NGO" is being banned in Russia, and they blame me for it. Why? Twenty professors and academics signed a letter criticizing this "NGO" for harassing me, and now the "NGO" speculates that it attracted the attention of the FSB. This is the actual story they are going with, but it is good enough for the people we generously refer to as journalists.
A few weeks ago, a journalist applied and was granted full access to all my documents at the university, which includes everything from the job application to my professorship promotion application. Why? To go through everything and look for anything that can be presented as academic dishonesty. This is how you get academics fired.
The useful idiots of this "NGO" even produced an absurd Wikipedia profile on me, where my occupation was not "Professor" but "Russian propagandist." Returning to my home country after 20 years abroad was truly the greatest mistake of my life. I do not recognize this country anymore, and I wear the absurd personal attacks by these government-financed trolls as a badge of honour. Absolutely pathetic and unworthy of an open society
This Open Source Mobile Comm project appears to be an open source impl of a 3G network's backend software. But they're not using the standard 3GPP protocols, they're using their own home-grown stuff instead.
Looks like a toy, using SQLite3 as its HLR storage. Real 3G/4G networks use LDAP, lots of OpenLDAP in particular because nothing else scales enough, efficiently enough.
Admittedly, I haven't been paid to touch an HLR since 2001 (once upon a time I obtained the probably not coveted: "Acatel Certified HLR Technician" title).
Back then, they were still running Sybase for their SQL implementation! Yikes!
Admittedly, even that employer (which had HLRs old enough they were still branded: "DSC" from before Alcatel had acquired them) offloaded all the SQL to three-way fault tolerant/redundant "Resilience" (if I am remembering the vendor name correctly, which I might not be anymore) systems.
I don't even remember the last time I thought about those systems and their "FT-SPARC" (the FT for "Fault Tolerant") lock-step jank! So expensive! So slow! Despite the "FT" branding, I have at least one memory of an HLR crashing because the serial console [a WYSE terminal IIRC] attached to it went poof and the friggin thing basically halted as a result. That was a "fun" night in the NOC! (We did, eventually, somehow, manage to drag that company from "two nines" to "three nines" of uptime before I quit in 2001.)
IIRC Osmocom could at least handle GSM? The Sybase vintage stuff I was paid to work on was all mostly still the AMPS vintage.
That employer's SS7 packet sniffer, was bought used and ran DOS and still cost $40,000!
So, "toy" or not, I don't think the commercial market really had much to offer as a viable alternative way back when? I do remember some other company demoed a fancier SS7 packet sniffer running on a Tadpole (Solaris era)! The laptop alone probably cost over $20k! I don't remember what they wanted to charge for their software, but six figures before decimal places seems familiar? Certainly in alignment with the obscenely expensive prices they paid for some other things (I think NetCool licenses cost five figures back then and were a far cry from even something as rudimentary as nagios).
That company (which eventually got a third round of funding from Marconi if memory serves) thought the Tadpole/Solaris SS7 packet sniffer upgrade was too expensive and passed on the snazzy GUI and what would have been (by comparison) a merciful way to grep and sed through output without having to write something to a floppy disk from DOS sniffer and load it onto a better system for more sophisticated analysis as we had been doing, if the need arose.
I am pretty out of touch with more recent Osmocom developments; but good to see they were at least considering LMDB?
Chaos Communications Camp circa 2011 had a fun presentation that Karsten Nohl et al gave which leveraged OsmocomBB to some extent?
HAR in 2009 also had an Osmocom event only cellular system (as more of a proof of concept alternative to the CCC popular DECT phone stuff) IIRC? Definitely worthwhile research for what it was, but I don't know if they really ever had objectives to be much more than research? I'm guessing WHY (the 2025 iteration of HAR: why2025.org/) might have something new and improved if laforge is attending? I would like to (I had way more fun at HAR than CCCamp), but I don't think it's in the cards for me.
Frau #VonderLeyen annonce (ici en Französisch) la création d’un bunker panoptique assurant la #surveillance de l’ #information pour lutter contre les "manipulations", les "ingérences étrangères", et l’application de "sanctions". ACHTUNG! Il n’y a qu’UNE seule et UNIQUE information diffusée par Big Sister et Big Brother, et ce bunker y veillera partout où une liberté de pensée et d’opinion ose s’exercer, notamment dans les #médias alternatifs et sur les horribles réseaux sociaux. Si #UVdL n’est pas une petite-fille de nazi (ce serait une fake new) en matière de #censure et de "paquets de #sanctions", elle ne laisse pas sa part à l’infâme #Mertz. Pas seulement contre la #Russie envers laquelle elle a une haine totale (la raclée infligée par l’Armée Rouge à Hitler reste en travers de la gorge de certains Allemands), mais aussi contre tous les citoyens européens qu’elle compte bien mener à la badine cloutée. Et vu les claques qu’elle ramasse sur X à chacune de ses apparitions, elle veillera à ce que la Gedankenpolizei soit particulièrement inflexible sur le réseau social de ce libertaire de Musk.
Frau #VonderLeyen kündigt (hier auf Deutsch) die Einrichtung eines Panoptikum-Bunkers zur #Überwachung der #Informationen an, um „Manipulationen“ und „ausländische Einmischung“ zu bekämpfen und „Sanktionen“ zu verhängen. ACHTUNG! Es gibt nur EINE und EINE Information, die von Big Sister und Big Brother verbreitet wird, und dieser Bunker wird dafür sorgen, dass dies überall dort geschieht, wo Gedanken- und Meinungsfreiheit herrscht, insbesondere in den alternativen #Medien und den schrecklichen sozialen Netzwerken. Wenn #UVdL keine Nazi-Enkelin ist (das wäre eine Fake News), wenn es um #Zensur und "#Sanktionspakete" geht, überlässt sie ihren Anteil nicht dem berüchtigten #Mertz. Nicht nur gegen #Russland, gegen das sie einen totalen Hass hegt (die Prügel, die die Rote Armee Hitler zugefügt hat, steckt manchen Deutschen noch in den Knochen), sondern auch gegen alle europäischen Bürger, die sie mit der Nagelpeitsche zu führen gedenkt. Und angesichts der Ohrfeigen, die sie bei jedem ihrer Auftritte auf X kassiert, wird sie dafür sorgen, dass die Gedankenpolizei im sozialen Netzwerk dieses libertären Musk besonders unnachgiebig ist.

»#Hamas und die menschlichen Schutzschilde: Das tödlichste Märchen des Nahen Ostens.« »Versteckt sich die Hamas feige hinter Zivilisten?

Berichterstattung über den gut dokumentieren Missbrauch palästinensischer Zivilisten durch Israels Armee gibt es hingegen kaum« #humanshield #Israel #Gaza #medienversagen schantall-und-scharia.de/hamas…
Wer keine Lust hat sich den langen Text durchzulesen: Die Behauptung ist eine alte Behauptung aus der israelischen Militär-PR, die immer dann gebracht wird wenn viele Zivilisten sterben. Es wäre also wenig sinnvoll im Krieg gegen Israel auf diese Taktik zu setzen.
In der Berichterstattung in Deutschland sieht's indirekt proportional aus. Je weniger Belege, umso häufiger spricht man in deutschen Medien darüber, je mehr Belege über den Einsatz von 'human shields' um so weniger wird berichtet.
It’s amusing that the little sock puppet serving as the figurehead for the Kiev regime actually thinks his opinion matters.
#Ukraine must be involved in any #negotiations for a peace deal with #Russia, President #VolodymyrZelensky insisted on Sunday. The Ukrainian leader says that he won’t accept any deals made between U.S. President #DonaldTrump and Russian President #VladimirPutin if he and his team are not also invited to the table.
‘I will never accept any decisions between the #UnitedStates and #Russia about Ukraine – never,’ Zelesnky told NBC Meet the Press host Kristen Welker. ‘And our people, never. And our adults, and children, and everybody, it can’t be so.’
Nobody asked him and nobody cares. Not only can it be so, it will be so. There are precisely two choices: 1. The USA negotiates a peace settlement with Russia. 2. Russia dictates an unconditional surrender.
That’s it. That’s the entire list. And it was obvious from the very start back in February 2022. Notice that nowhere on it appears anything about #Zelensky, the #Kiev #regime, the #UN, the #TerranConfederation, #Starfleet, or the #EuropeanUnion. All of those entities are #irrelevant to the outcome.

The modern gamified #workplace enables #control beyond Taylor’s wildest dreams. #Games are sets of #rules prescribing both actions and outcomes. A gamified workplace sets not just goals for #workers but precisely how those goals can be achieved. Managers don’t need to follow workers with stopwatches. They can use smartphones or apps. It’s #micromanagement with unprecedented granularity.

While this whip was cracking, the workers sped up. ‘We saw a higher incidence of injuries,’ Topete said. ‘Several people were injured on the #job.’ The formerly collegial environment degenerated into a #race. The laundry workers competed with each other, and got upset when coworkers couldn’t keep up. People started skipping bathroom breaks. Pregnant workers fell behind. ‘The #scoreboard incentivises competition,’ said Topete. ‘Our human competitiveness, whatever makes us like games, whatever keeps us wanting to win, it’s a similar thing that was happening. Even if you didn’t want to.’

And I am fully ageeing with that but the point of this is one more that we should start covering car lots first before we put up endless rows in fields
Both is a great option but start with the crappy one first I guess 😉
But I understand that here in Louisiana, it's impossible. You see, if we covered our car parks then the cars we're forced to use wouldn't get steaming hot under the summer sun.
Sorry, it's very important that we make everyone extremely miserable for no reason. It's extremely important that we don't provide any shade to parked cars here in hot miserable Louisiana.
We also got rid of window awnings. That was very important also.
As panels are getting cheap, the support structure becomes a serious part of the cost (and even of the embedded energy). You need a lot more steel and foundations for such elevated panels.
Not sure about now, but not too long ago parking lots were money-losing PR projects(look us being green), while the field ones were serious.
Once we have enough PV to saturate summer peaks, every next panel produces less useful power. So lower cost is critical
(there are some plants that, in some parts of the world, have been shown to grow better in the partial shade provided by solar panels than they would in the full sun)
(I suspect that they would be a bit higher up than they seem to be in the first image)
meh. Fields of monoculture crops have very little biodiversity and certainly aren't natural. While wild grassland under solar is pretty good. And if the field was growing corn or similar for a biofuel, then the solar covered field will create about 6 times more energy in the same area. Alternatively, there are quite a lot of crops that do very well when partially shared. Yields of strawberry under PV is better than conventional practices.
Rooftop solar, on just HALF of the world's roofs, would produce MORE electricity than is used today from ALL sources. And would uplift all people, strengthen all people, and drive a permanent economic boom.
Let every Neighbourhood become Saudi Arabia, but free.
In California, where it's often quite dry, we are putting solar farms over some fields to conserve water. In some cases, crops are being planted alongside solar panels. There are many benefits from this dual use, and many applications. Of course we are a massive state "... the size of the Netherlands, Belgium, Slovenia, Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg, Kosovo and Czech Republic combined.” I imagine that in smaller countries it would be unpleasant to see solar farms everywhere you look.
All the nations have transmission lines. Running across acres and acres, across manufacturing zones, beside residential areas, from powerplant to city to harbour.
Often VERY cheap because govt already owns land.
Put solar UNDER ALL THE LINES, mile after mile after mile.
Put the solar cells at eight feet, feed goats on the brush beneath the solar arrays, and tomatoes.
We need them on more parking structures, I agree. There are too many plants that like that kind of light for the fields to be the ones complaining about this though.
Pollinators—such as bees, butterflies, and other insects—are critical to the success of about 35 percent of global food crop production. Learn about the benefits of establishing pollinator-friendly plants under and around ground-mounted solar arrays.
"In Georgia, sheep on a solar farm is not a baaad idea We're losing vital agricultural land. But is solar the main culprit?" grist.org/climate-energy/in-ge…
Galaxy brain: large enough parking lots for a solar farm shouldn’t exist in cities and we should abolish car dependence and build walabke cities to be green.
Also infra for over solar covering car ports is 100x more expensive than some cheap panels in an field.
However there are agrovoltaic systems where spread out panels are elevated above certain crops. They protect fruit yields from excess sun leading to needing excessive watering according to studies.
But yes the urban areas are seeeeriously missed. Did you know you can install them on walls and fencing. They cool better.
Uhm cover both the fields and the car parks. Covering the fields is good for the plants (including the crops! higher yield!), insects and small animals on the fields.
Sometimes placing solar panels on farms actually helps. You may need less irrigation and the optimal amount of sunlight is different for various crops. This may, of course, depend on your climate: it is not "one size fits all."
here in California we have giant fires going on where they just put in controversial grass field solar, which is another point for car parks/parking lots getting solar first. It's closer to where people are, requiring less transmission distance and less vulnerable to wildland cycles of fire & flood.
I've actually read somewhere that covering fields with solar panels instead of mono-cultured farm land actually helps nature, especially animals that can use it to live under and find food (that would potentially not grow on farm land or be polluted with pesticides)
Also seeing as we need to focus on getting rid of cars first I kinda feel like it's a waste of resources to try to make parking cars feel better by adding shadow. 👀
Just get rid of the car parks, put down plants and the solar panels on top. Maybe even some nice parks and sitting areas under it.
Although there is something to be said for putting solar on already-used land if there is a requirement for power there, that car park is probably half the problem - people really need to think about alternative means of travel, and if they need to travel in the first place. Would much prefer it if every public building had solar panels on their rooves.
I like the idea of solar paving slabs durable enough to walk on and even cover roads.
I'm surprised governments aren't scrambling to invest in these. Instead the UK wants nuclear power stations that'll cost magnitudes more, and take decades to build and integrate with the grid. Madness...
Farmers have been willing to lease their land to solar companies because it’s guaranteed income and they don’t have to wrestle with year to year weather struggles, yields, labor, etc. It’s guaranteed income and usually higher income than from their traditional farming efforts.
some crops benefit from the shade actually. Some farmers who aren't yet bought out by big corpos need the extra dosh from hosting solar to stay independent too.
Why not just get rid of car parks entirely and make public transit freely accessible?
Solar panels actually improve the yields of raspberries and grapes, because those crops are sensitive to too much direct sunlight. I'm sure there are other crops that benefit, I just haven't seen any papers that talk about them.

@michaelrowe01 I don't understand why this is not a thing. It's absurd to cover perfectly good land with solar panels when they can be used on the roofs of parking lots, office buildings, homes, and more.🙄
You've seen drivers right? And what they do to the bollards and barriers in parking lots? If I'm the power company, I'm not putting expensive generating infrastructure where people are going to be constantly parking their cars right next to the pillars holding it up.

At the risk of being contrarian to the admin of my instance (😬):
Intelligent use of solar panels *can* actually enhance the productivity of agricultural land. Turns out a lot of plants and animals evolved in environments that are occasionally shaded. Who knew? 🤷♀️
And car parks large enough to support a solar farm shouldn't exist to begin with. Put housing and mixed-use buildings there with panels on the roof, instead of panels over an endless plane of tarmac.
@mwyman Covering fields allows farmers to grow shade plants like greens while reducing water consumption. It's a good idea in many ways. (There's nothing wrong with covering car parks also.)_
Actually, there have been experiments with elevated solar panels over the fields and some crops grow better with partial sun than with full sun full time. It also shields the crop from some things, including helping to shield the crop from extreme wind events and some kinds of bird damage. I would rather see the solar panels on buildings and car parks and bridges and protecting rivers from excessive operation, but that doesn't mean you can't use them over your fields as well when there's an advantage in that.

If you have a mortgage you know you won't be able to afford without keeping a job that's going to insist you collaborate, DOWNGRADE NOW not later. Sell and buy something you can actually afford.
