Vineyard Wind's 62 turbines are capable of generating 800 megawatts, which is enough electricity to power about 400,000 homes in the region. The slightly smaller Revolution Wind project can generate 704 megawatts and power about 350,000 homes. https://www.wbur.org/news/2026/11/06/vineyard-wind-fully-running-offshore-wind-massachusetts #Energy #Environment #Climate #Science #WindEnergy #NPR #ClimateDiary #ClimateCrisis #Nature #Oceans

#Nature is the ultimate creative expression from which we as artists and craftspeople draw our inspiration. I unloaded the kiln yesterday and this is my favorite pot out of the batch, inspired by my favorite plant, and decorated with the rich earth tones of #WildClay. The glossy brown of the neck rings comes from a single clay—not a formulated glaze—collected from beneath an electric pole, roadside on some farmland in Northern #Louisiana. I noticed it while driving by. More in the #AltText.

A push by China to revive its mangrove forests is paying off. Not only have mangroves colonized large areas of coastline, but the new forests have drawn scores of new bird species.
