Love seeing hydrogen fuel cell components hit 23.4% CAGR! Supply chains maturing beyond subsidy dependency-this is real infrastructure momentum. 🔋⚡️

My House and My Chicken Coup - Not Much Difference On my Farm in Bagan, Burma, there are not many connections to the modern world: no power, gas, running water, machines, etc. The valley I am in has been continuously farmed for 3,000 years, with just what is there…..and I did not add anything modern. Our houses are made of the materials and knowledge we have around us, our water comes from the great Irrawaddy River, and our lives follow the same rhythms that have always been. The rhythms of living on earth. In these photos you can see that my hut, my chicken coup, and all the other structures are made of the same natural materials we harvested from our own valley: palm leaves, bamboo, round timber, and we make our own rope. 3,000 years of people making structures in this valley, and not a trace left. When we leave, we won’t leave a trace either. Pic #1 - my huts Pic #2 - chicken coup Pic #3 - overview of the farm Pic #4 - on the Irrawaddy River

Price of fuel, farm inputs, logistics and other things are high now but the price of farm produce is crashing because there's too much supply at the moment ✌️🌽🫑🥒

@stationmum101 Data literacy is the critical gap! Farmers have the field expertise, but interpreting complex tech data is a real hurdle to adoption. 🌱📊

Ok - a question for my digital ag friends: What is a key skills gap that you see in farmers when it comes to ag tech/digital comms that is a barrier to adoption & ongoing use? #ausag #agchatoz

WASHINGTON, March 24 (Reuters) - NASA announced on Tuesday it has canceled plans ​to deploy a space station in lunar orbit and will instead use components from the project to build ‌a $20 billion base on the moon's surface, while also planning to send a nuclear-powered spacecraft to Mars.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗼 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 The Colorado River supplies water to 40 million people across the West—but that system is under increasing strain. Water reuse, infrastructure investment, and regional collaboration are no longer optional. They’re essential. This article highlights how leaders, including SCWC Board Secretary Donna Bloom-Crook of PCL Construction, are helping shape solutions for a more resilient water future.

I love Road Trips……Mexican Style - Ocotitlan to Puebla Road trips are my favorite, and “pit stops” on road trips, make the road trip worth while. In India it is the chai stops, in Burma it is the “nap” huts along the way, and in Mexico….. …..Mexican snacks being prepared hot and fresh for the weary traveler. I’m all in. Thanks Mexico.
