BEST USE OF SOLAR – AGRIVOLTAICS

Posted on by

Did you know that the same land can be used to grow crops and produce solar energy at the same time? That’s the promise of agrivoltaics, a fast-emerging practice that combines agriculture with solar power. By installing solar panels for agriculture over farmland, agrivoltaics not only helps generate clean energy but also supports sustainable farming. As climate change pressures mount and the demand for renewable energy rises, this smart use of space through agrivoltaics farming is gaining attention across the globe. It offers a unique way to meet both food and energy needs without competing for land.

  • Maximizes land productivity Farmers can increase land-use efficiency by up to 186% by using agrivoltaics to generate renewable energy while carrying on with their agricultural operations. By reducing conflicts between farming and energy development, this dual use helps achieve solar capacity targets without compromising priceless farmland.
  • Improves crop resilience and yields Partial shade from solar panels keeps soil moisture levels stable, lowers water evaporation, and moderates temperature extremes. According to research from Arizona and Kenya, this microclimate promotes the growth of some crops, particularly in hot or arid areas, resulting in increase in yields and less need for irrigation.
  • Diversifies income for farmers. Farmers generate extra income by combining crop or livestock production with solar for agriculture. They can lower electricity costs, supply clean energy to farm operations, and occasionally resell excess power to the grid, boosting the stability of farm income. Solar for agriculture thus works on multiple levels of sustainability.
  • Enhances ecosystem services and biodiversity By preserving native vegetation and establishing habitats for pollinators like bees, agrivoltaics sites can enhance the health of ecosystems. By controlling stormwater runoff and reducing the need for herbicides, these green areas lessen their negative effects on the environment and maintenance expenses.
  • Provides grazing opportunities Sheep and chickens are examples of livestock that can graze beneath solar agriculture panels, naturally controlling vegetation while enjoying the shade and protection they provide. This promotes animal welfare and lowers maintenance.
  • Improves working conditions for farm laborers By providing shade, solar agriculture installations improve comfort and safety for farm workers spending extended periods of time outside by shielding them from intense heat and damaging UV rays.
  • Helps combat climate change Agrivoltaics in India helps achieve regional and national objectives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase climate resilience in agriculture by producing clean, renewable energy and lowering dependency on fossil fuels.
  • Reduces water consumption In regions that are prone to drought, the shade from agrivoltaics farming reduces the amount of water lost by transpiration and evaporation from plants and soil, thereby promoting more sustainable farming practices.     .

I am confident that agrivoltaics will be the way solar is used in the coming Jesus Millennial Kingdom. Is this something of interest to you and you want to be used by Jesus in His coming Millennial Kingdom then get involved now so you will be prepared. God will use the talents He has given you so make sure you develop them for use in His coming Millennial Kingdom.

JESUS WARNED US THAT PERSECUTION WILL ESCALATE IN THE END TIMES

Posted on by

A now-viral post by Lizzie Marbach, an Ohio pro-life activist which stated, “There’s no hope for any of us outside of having faith in Jesus Christ alone” was met with criticism and accusations of bigotry from two state lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle.

Elizabeth Marbach (picture from her website), director of communications for Ohio Right to Life, wrote the biblical truth on Aug. 15 after what she called a “long day at work.”

“I have had many upset over my ‘unpopular’ and ‘harsh’ posts I had recently made, and I wanted to show some positivity that we can all unite behind,” Marbach told The Christian Post via email Thursday.

What she didn’t expect was a biting response from Congressman Max Miller of Ohio’s 7th District.

Miller — a Republican whom Politico once described as a “loyalist” of former President Donald Trump — called Marbach’s post “one of the most bigoted” he’s ever seen and told her to delete it, adding, “You have gone too far.”

Shortly after, Miller replied to Marbach, “God says that Jewish people are the chosen ones, but yet you say we have no hope. Thanks for your pearl of wisdom today.”

Around the same time, Rep. Casey Weinstein, a Democratic lawmaker from Ohio’s 34th District, quoted Miller’s post and added, “We may be on opposite sides of the aisle, but I stand right with Max on this. Delete it, Lizzie.”

In response, Marbach — who admitted she was “completely shocked” by Miller’s post given that his wife, Emily, sits on the board of trustees for Ohio Right to Life — quoted: “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” John 14:6

Marbach said while she wasn’t surprised by such a response, it nonetheless points to a much larger spiritual truth. “I think his accusation of bigotry points to the eternal truth of the Gospel message itself,” she said. “Jesus tells us that the world will hate us because they first hated him. The Gospel message is offensive to those who are not in Christ, and Miller’s response is just the latest example of this.”

“Remember the word that I (Jesus) said to you: A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me hates my Father also.” John 15:20-23

But alongside that spiritual truth, she added, is a political reality in which, said Marbach, Republicans are growing increasingly tone-deaf and even hostile toward constituents who identify as followers of Christ.

It is just another end times sign. The last prophesied seven years prior to Jesus return to set up His Millennial Kingdom is fast approaching. Probably the most significant end times sign happened over 70 years ago. The re-establishment of Israel as a nation.

We are already seeing the move towards a one-world government with the recent announcement by the UN of a proposed Pact for the Future in September 2024. ,

2024 Pact for the Future

An action-oriented Pact for the Future will be endorsed by Heads of State/Government at the Summit, showcasing global solidarity for current and future generations.

This UN Pact for the Future was started in 2015 with the 2030 Agenda. It was agreed by UN Member States as a plan of action for people, planet, prosperity, and peace outlined through 17 Sustainable Development Goals and related targets.
