Poland Adopts
Floating PV Technology
Today marks seven weeks of continuous travel for Think Greener, LLC through the EU and twenty-three weeks for 2021! Along the way, we met many people from different levels of society implementing sustainable solutions around the world, contributing to reversing the effects of the climate crisis we all face.
I write this blog from the beautiful city of Lubin, Poland where snow lies on the ground and the Christmas Market’s lights bring cheer to all as we are amongst the holiday season. Poland, known for its cold and lengthy winters is making a new claim as it transitions away from coal-fired power plants. The country is focusing on renewable energy, biodiversity, sustainability, and climate neutrality as it strives towards the… Continue reading

Question: How is the world doing on its quest to implement clean renewable energy?
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) latest report, the world is heading in the right direction, but needs a more aggressive approach to avoid the worsening impacts from our climate crisis. The estimated newly commissioned global renewable energy production for 2021 is 290 gigawatts, expected to set a record.
Renewable energy alone will not solve the crisis. The use of fossil fuel must end, and the new exploration of oil and gas must stop by the end of 2021. Solar energy dominates the global renewable energy market and over the next five years expects to double its capacity over the output of wind energy.… Continue reading
One of Think Greener’s favorite places to explore was the Netherlands that has strong emphasis on a modern sustainable economy, free market and is viewed as pioneers of capitalism. This article speaks about a Dutch pilot project that will combine renewable energy in the form of solar with row farming and touches on the need to expand UK’s EV charging station to meet the 2030 ban of new car sales using gas and diesel.
Thinking Greener With Solar & Row Farming!
New advancement for an old technology that will help the world achieve carbon neutrality. Thankfully, the solar industry is in high demand and the price per watt continues to drop allowing for photovoltaic (PV) solar technology to compete with the cheap cost of oil and gas.
As America continues to grow independent of other countries technology and resources, it increases job opportunities within the green sector. There is a large solar manufacture here in the US banking on moving away from the dominant crystalline silicon solar panel that is produced mainly in China and covers most rooftops, open land, and deserts around the world.
Cadmium telluride solar technology is a thin film that can be flexible if needed and has been around for some time.… Continue reading
