The photovoltaic industry has entered its self -replicating phase

by

Maximize the performance of solar panels is one of the great challenges of Photovoltaic industry. But it is something that is not limited to make more efficient panelsbut to engineer ways that they stay clean for longer. Because the great enemy of the panels are not the clouds, but dust or snow. Cleaning these homemade panels is clue For three reasons. The first is that a clean panel is more efficient. According to estimatesa dirty panel produces up to 39% less a year. The useful life of them increases because corrosion and other damages are avoided and, as more electricity generates, production is optimized and the Investment return. There is robots designed to clean them And we have seen them in all shapes and sizes, even tractors manually operated with a roller that rubs the surface of the panels, but one of the challenges is how to optimize the cleaning of the panels in the huge ‘farm’ installed in deserts such as Chili, China either India. And the answer is another robot, but not anyone: a robot that in turn is a solar panel. Solar panels that clean solar panels that clean … Be more or less autonomous, robots need energy to work. It can be through long cables that feed them or by batteries in the longest facilities, so when they are not cleaning, they are wasting time. Especially in desert scenarios in which dust is a problem. And the sauce of this matter is the following video: What we see in Action is a robot of the Chinese company Sunpure, a company that has specialized precisely in the creation of devices to clean solar panels. Beyond the conventional ones, they have two models that have a solar panel in the upper part that is the one that provides energy so that the rollers work and can give the necessary passes by the rows of panels. One is that of the upper video, called Venus, another is the one that we leave below: The difference between this and Venus is that the new robot has more upper surface occupied by the solar food panel, seems more adaptable to different panel sizes and, above all, is easier to clean. The reason? When it reaches the end of the row, a brush awaits you that passes the panel of the robot itself, cleaning the dust that may have accumulated. This cleaner robot has already been installed in some photovoltaic plants, such as those of India or Uzbekistan, and the previous model is the one that works cleaning The CME1 panels, the largest photovoltaic plant in Chile In the Atacama desert. They are curious, but beyond that, this type of robots is a necessity. Equipo them with solar panels is a good idea that they can perform those cleaning tasks in locations in which dust is a problem. In fact, those of this company are working, above all, in plants installed in deserts. Now, the great step of the industry both in the face of mass production and the most homemade is the creation of self -impossible solar panels. It is something that is already working on, with advances as interesting as that of the Startup Sol Clarity, a company derived from the University of Boston. Baptized as electrodynamic scren, it is a very thin and transparent sheet that Load dust particles with static And, when he has caught them, the ‘sweep’ using electromagnetic waves. It is a good solution not to depend on robots and not be the black water hole which is the current cleaning of large -scale solar panels. And in a sector in which every kilowatt counts, that they are as clean as possible. Images and videos | Sunpure In Xataka | I thought the robots could no longer surprise me.

of television star to YouTuber entered into misfortune by animal abuse

by

For a while, Frank Cuesta, better known on his television journey as Frank de la Jungla, was one of the best known and loved television faces in the early last decade. When their programs stopped being issued, it was installed on the Internet, and from its animal sanctuary in Thailand, a drift that has culminated in a disastrous way began. It has been with audios that reveal a face as an animal abuse that has definitely put a public image that had been awakening doubts for years. Conflictive audios. Earlier this week some audios were leaked in which he referred to animals of the sanctuary aggressively (“we must have delicatas, which people like Suricatas whores.”), Among other animals that he acknowledged having bought for sale. I also talked about poisoning cats (“I’m going to make a mix of cat food with poison to eat the son of a bitch and burst inside. (…) If you have a cat, you keep it at home”) Already dogs (“I will put poison every fucking days until all the fucking dogs die (…) I will load them all”) that entered the sanctuary. The audios have been Filrated by his exsocio chi wildlifewith the purpose of uncovering little ethical behaviors of Cuesta. He also spread images in which the bad state in which animals such as pig or otter were seen, or told stories about the replacement of dead animals with similar ones to maintain the attention of their YouTube followers. The defense. His team has defended the audios talking about a passenger anger in the context of audios for a friend. Frank Cuesta has defended himself in a video in which he cries before the camera and that he has already retired from his networks stating that all he did was put laxative for dogs and cats not to approach the sanctuary. But as They have pointed out several of His criticsit is not only an improper behavior of an owner of an animal sanctuary, but also adds to a long trajectory of controversies and conflicts. The tip of the iceberg. The filtration of these audios is the last episode of the fall in disgrace of Cuesta in recent months, but it has not been the most serious event that has had to happen: it was recently bitten by a spit copperwhich put him on the verge of death. Before that, in 2024 He had suffered the onslaught of a deer that broke two ribs and contact with a poisonous frog. But his most controversial moments are those that imply problems with justice: he has to respond to Three demands of his ex -wife and was arrested by the Possession of protected animals. The Internet reaction. Frank Cuesta has established in recent years an active relationship with various youtubers and Influencersin order to get Collection for your sanctuary. Some of them have reacted to Frank Cuesta Audios: The Grefg has criticized it publicly And he has asked for explanations, while Plex has defended itstating that everything seen in videos is true. Other content creators, such as Rome Gallardo either Hetero white uncle They have also positioned themselves against Cuest Dalas Review. Success on television. The success came to Frank Cuesta after the program ‘Callejeros Travelers’ interviewed it for a delivery set in Thailand. His knowledge about reptiles gave him the opportunity to drive his own space, ‘Frank de la Jungla’. With him he obtained a wave, and continuity with the program ‘La Jungal at home’, shot this time in Spain. He would still make a third series with four, ‘Natural Frank’, before moving on to Discovery Max with ‘Wild Frank’, which he recorded 17 seasons. A presence on YouTube. Although Frank Cuesta has obtained his fame primarily from the almighty television, it has been with the YouTube accounts that he has managed since the late last decade where he has shaped a peculiar Fandom. The first construction of an animal shelter and after a Sanctuary away from Thailand For animals that do not belong to that same environment, it has kept their followers hooked on materials on animals, although it currently costs only the channel dedicated to the Libertad Sanctuary. The accounts of your channel. Frank Cuesta de YouTube channel has 4,150,000 subscribers. Virtually all its content is paid: direct, streamings and private webcams that reflect the day to day in the sanctuary. The controversy, without a doubt, It has fallen well In terms of figures: it is estimated that there could be 60,000 subscribers in the last month and a half, and with more than 12 million views of their videos at that same time, have entered between 3 and 16,000 euros for their videos in the last month. Political positions. Meanwhile, their political positions have been radicalized: He aligned with Vox In 2022, launching inconvenience statements, although later It was distanced from the game behind him Violent behavior of Ortega Smith. This positioning, which has intensified Over the yearsthe opposition of progressive sectors won him, also very critical of his peculiar way to face animal care. An uncertain end. All this (mainstream success, problematic channels on YouTube, radical political positioning, abundance scandals) are the ingredients of a cocktail that seems to have ended up exploding with the publication of the audios. It is significant that many of the creators of content that criticize him, as some of those mentioned above, usually invoice content aligned with conservative positions: they are the same as months ago they defended their content for that same reason. A true polvorín that still smooths: we will continue to talk about Frank de la Jungla. In Xataka | Disinformation circulates more freedom than ever on the Internet.

The US tariffs have not yet entered into force, but there is already a console that has risen in price: PlayStation 5

by

Sony has not expected the tariff war which has unleashed the United States ends up impacting the prices of its console, and the price of PlayStation 5 In Europe, including the United Kingdom. According to Bloomberg, it will not be the only territory to suffer this price increase, since it qualifies as “likely“A future ascent also in the United States. Some reasons. The reasons that PlayStation wields In his blog They are “high inflation and fluctuation of exchange rates.” In Europe, this price change will only affect the digital edition of the console, which will cost 499.99 euros, 50 more than it cost so far, that is, the price that a standard PS5 had launch in 2020. This price increase occurs in almost the whole world, and in some areas such as Australia, also upload the price of the console with disc reader. The reader does go down. It is not the only oscillation in official prices, although luckily the record reader will suffer down: it goes from costing € 119.99 to € 79.99. In this way, if we add the updated PS5 cost of Digital and the disk drive, the increase is 10 euros with respect to the added price they had before this Sony announcement. The standard edition with Blu-ray unit does not change the price, staying at € 549.99, and PlayStation 5 pro either does its price of € 799.99. A history of uploads. It is already the second time that the Digital PlayStation rises in price: in August 2022 it has already suffered a rise from € 399.99 launch to 449.99. In that case, the standard PS5 also cost € 499.99 to the current € 549.99. At that time, The reasons used Sony They were “the high world inflation rates” and “adverse monetary trends”, very similar to the official reason for this new climb. Distance with respect to Xbox. This new climb places PS5 in an unknown position in front of its direct rival theoretical, the Xbox Series s From Microsoft, which reached the market at € 299, and has even lived occasional discounts, which places it in the range of 249-299 euros. The 1TB record version, appeared in 2023, is also cheaper than the PS5: € 349. Strategy or crisis? The repetition of reasons to justify this increase may sound like an excuse, but the truth is that the global economic situation is subject to the consequences, not yet calibrated at all, of the war war that is currently being unleashed. There are analysts who already point To that, providing a future rise in the United States, even more severe, Sony is using this increase in the rest of the world to mitigate costs: it is also done in areas such as Europe and the United Kingdom, where the tradition of PlayStation players is very high and these increases do not negatively impact as substantially as in other territories. PlayStation 5 Pro support. There is also another possible strategic reason for this rise that should not be ruled out: an attempt to redirect demand to premium products such as PlayStation 5 Prothat maintains its price. Approaching the prices of the cheapest option and the most expensive of its catalog, Sony makes this last option more attractive: the sales of PlayStation 5 Pro have not yet transcended, but above the problem of the rates, we could be facing a decision that would have ended up arriving in any case.

Thousands of Latin Americans have entered Europe with a formula that Italy has just suppressed: the great -grandparents

by

A fact to place the measure taken by the Italian government in context. Only in 2024, the figure of new Italian citizens who registered through the consulates of Argentina and Brazil registered 30,000 and 20,000 cases respectively. The majority did it in the way that is being done for decades and that has allowed it to emigrate hundreds of thousands of people from South America to Europe: by the ancestry of blood. Italy just put the formula. Restrict citizens. The European nation has decided to considerably cut citizens by ancestry (Jus Sanguinis), limiting it exclusively to those who have Italian parents or grandparentsthus eliminating the possibility that for decades allowed distant descendants, even fourth or fifth generation, obtaining it if they could try an Italian ancestor alive after 1861. The decision, announced by the Giorgia Meloni government and Executed immediately Without prior notice, it seeks to stop the institutional collapse generated by the Application floodmostly from South America, where millions of people with Italian roots have tried to access a European passport. According to Antonio TajaniForeign Minister, the measure responds to “years of abuse”, since many applicants do not have real links with Italy and seek citizens only to facilitate international mobility. Prove to be bilingual. Apparently, the measure also forces applicants to demonstrate Italian language mastery through an official exam, having resided at least Three years in Italyand undergo a centralized process with face -to -face interviews, eliminating traditional management through consulates. Plus: They must comply with obligations such as voting, paying taxes and renewing documents so as not to lose nationality. In addition, the transmission of citizenship by marriage hardens, demanding two years of joint residence in Italy, while the application cost is has doubled at 600 euros. On the other hand, the Italians who reside outside and do not comply with these obligations run the risk of losing their citizenship, which even affects their descendants. Saturated system, millionaire business. Of course, there is much more behind the measure. As The New York Times saidthe problem is not only numerical: in the last decade, the number of Italians residing abroad grew by 40%, from 4.6 million in 2014 to 6.4 million in 2024mainly for the granting of new citizenships. In 2024 and as we advanced, only in Argentina 30,000 citizenships were granted, and in Brazil, another 20,000. No doubt, the avalanche has overflowed courts, civil records and consulates, where the Quotes at dawn To achieve a turn. In addition, a lucrative parallel business has been generated where companies and managers charge thousands of euros to applicants to track documents and submit requests, taking advantage of a law that, according to Tajani, “became an opportunity for simulated fraud and citizenship.” The ethical (and political) dilemma. The measure has generated debate even within the Italian right itself. While nationalist sectors support to restrict access to prevent citizenship from being seen only as a means of obtaining a passport, others criticize that, while nationality is granted to distant descendants, children of immigrants continue to be denied born and raised in Italywho can only aspire to it when they turn 18 and under strict conditions. Plus: Italy faces a problem that reproduces more and more nations. We talk about the serious demographic crisiswith low birth and population aging, but it has still chosen to restrict, instead of flexible, its citizenship policy. Legal changes and hardening. The reform is not isolated. Since October 2024, the Ministry of Interior had already begun to Limit applications After a stricter interpretation of the Supreme Court in which he cut the chain of citizenship transmission if an ancestor had naturalized in another country while their children were minors, leaving thousands of applicants without options after years of investment and procedures. The new decision has caused frustration among those who had been collecting documents for years and managing files, an anger that has been reflected In forums and social networks where testimonies abound about the great sums of money and time lost. They counted on CNN The case of many families traveling to Italy from South America to initiate the citizenship process and who are now without legal support after having sold properties and reorganized their lives following the previous regulations. If you want also, the reform thus deepens the distance between Italy that protects its symbolic bond with emigrants from past generations and the one that still does not fully integrate those who are already part of their current society.

It has rained 143% more than normal and Spanish agriculture has suddenly entered into crisis mode. They do not lack reasons

by

After more than 20 days of continuous rainfall and four huge high impact stories, peninsula floors They are practically saturated. And it should not be a surprise: the amount of water that has fallen has been 143% above Normal. And, although it may seem good news, it doesn’t always rain to everyone’s taste. Isn’t it good news? At the agroganadero level, there are many farms to which this Borrascas festival has been very good: vineyards, olive groves, nuts, dryland cereals and, in general, the livestock that feeds on pastures. But the field is much bigger. Andalusia It’s a good example. Only in the province of Seville, sunflower, chickpea, pea, cabbage and grelo have been affected. But there are more: the red fruits of Huelva, the pepper, the cucumber, the watermelon and the melon Almeria or the lettuce, the broccoli and the Murcian cauliflower. This is going to add the Granada asparagus if the situation is maintained. But why? For a concatenation of factors, of course. Floods have drowned many sown (with “root, gangrene and fungal asphyxiation problems”); The low temperatures are slowing down the development (when not burning) numerous crops; and the lack of labor (or the impossibility of working on lands) prevents the necessary works – or even collection. In figures, According to news four“Farmers find only 15% production.” So much so that a few days ago the Andalusian farmers sighed for just 15 days of sun. And what will happen? If everything goes well (that is, if everything goes as expected) nothing should happen. It is true that the situation has been harmful, but if the time is normalized and without water restrictions, the campaign is in time to save. If the “anomalous” situation lengthens, we will have a problem. However, whatever it is, it is very possible that we notice the break in the supermarket. A couple of years ago, Europe He ran out of red pepper For a cold wave. What has happened is very similar. Right now, there are a dozen products that play with the breakage of the supply. In case climate change I would not assume enough problemsnow it is stubborn to mess up the stations. And that, of course, is a challenge for one of the key sectors of Spain.

Marijuana was for years one of the most potential industries in the United States. Now has entered Barrena

by

HE Curves come For him cannabis sector In the United States. Curved and slippery curves that will make it difficult for companies focused on that market for two reasons, both equally challenging. One is the imminent expiration of debt they face and that some experts encrypt in 6,000 million dollars. The other is The legal framework in which they are forced to operate, a context that deprives them of some of the advantages and facilities that companies in other sectors do in trouble. There are those who already talk about bubble burst of cannabis in the US and fears that a bankruptcy waterfall now arrives. A sector in trouble. There are no quiet times for the American cannabis industry, forced to deal with a series of challenges, including financing, debt expiration and laws. Bloomberg explains in A broad analysis which is summarized in a single sentence: companies in the sector face the need to deal with a millmillionary debt without the ‘Legal oxygen ball that they would have if their activity were another. What does that mean? That because of the nature of his merchandise, cannabis, which It is still illegal In the eyes of the federal administration, companies in the sector face a particularly vulnerable situation when they have to deal with their creditors. Most businesses can resort to the bankruptcy court and shield themselves to renegotiate their debt; But like Remember From the firm Harris Beach Murtha, the companies dedicated to cannabis do not usually enjoy the protection of the US bankruptcy code. “To date, US courts have been reluctant to administer bankrupt confirm In Fox Rothschild. “Virtually all bankruptcy cases involving a restructuring or sale of cannabis -related entities Controlled Substances Lawthe CSA “. A figure: 6,000 million. This handicap, derived from the legal status of its merchandise at the federal level, is important right now because the sector faces the perspective of having to deal with a quite considerable debt in not much time. According to the calculations Shared with Bloomberg By Beau Whitney, chief economist of Whitney Economicsnext year will overcome a debt of up to 6,000 million dollars. And the figure includes only the largest companies in the sector, those that operate in several states. And two percentages: 42 and 27%. That default figure (6,000 million dollars) is bulky, but alone it does not say much. If it is so important, it is because it catches the sector at a complex moment in which at least part of the industry has not yet managed to market legal marijuana a stable business. Whitney handles A couple of data They help to understand it: if in 2022 more than 42% of distributors claimed to have obtained benefits, last year that percentage had been reduced to 27%. They are figures from the past, but as Bloomberg requires They talk to us of the future of the sector: part of those companies that have not yet been able to consolidate will probably end up broken. Others will have no choice but to sit with their creditors in a scenario that is not favorable. “The refinancing of this cycle will be carried out at much higher interest rates and companies will not have the cash flow to manage it,” confirms the economistwhich speaks of “a huge debt bubble.” What is the legal scenario? Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), an US organization dedicated to promoting legalization, explains it clearly: “Although the vast majority of states have reformed the laws on cannabis, the position of the federal government has remained practically unchanged since the early 70s. Except for rare circumstances, at the federal level marijuana and its products are illegal and They are subject to the application of the criminal law. “ Despite this federal framework, MPP remembers that “state governments record and regulate the production and sales of cannabis.” Right now There are states in which it allows the consumption of marijuana for medical but not recreational purposes, others that have legalized both uses and also certain territories in which it is totally illegal. In A plane in which the regulatory framework of each of the states at the beginning of this year, the American Nonsmoker´s Rights Foundation (ANRF) calculated that there are 39 in which smoking is allowed at least for medicinal purposes. Looking to the future. The result of this difference in criteria between the Federal Administration and the states themselves derives in a complex scenario, Recognize MPPin which a person “can fulfill a set of laws on marijuana and at the same time violate another.” Until now the federal government has not considered that state regulations shock with the Supreme clause which is pronounced in its favor in the Constitution, which is explained in part because the cultivation and sale falls on private companies. Last year the Department of Justice He moved file For marijuana to be classified as a less dangerous substance, which would have direct effects on companies in the sector, reducing their expenses and favoring that many are “profitable”according to the industry itself. With the change of government and the arrival of Donald Trump to the White House (and his New prosecutor, Pam Bondi) An unknown is now opened. And what are the figures? Apart from the legal framework, the 6,000 million debt about to defeat calculated by Whitney They tell us about something else: the weight and implementation that has reached the sector in the US. Pew Research Center data show that eight out of 10 Americans (79% of the population, to be exact) have at least one store where they can buy marijuana in their county. Moreover, the same study center calculates that 54% of Americans He lives in a state that allows the recreational use of marijuana and around 15,000 dispensaries are distributed throughout the US, especially common on the west and northwest and points like Michigan or Oklahoma. The Flowhub firm in fact indicates that the legal cannabis industry is directly related to 440,400 jobs full -time and that in … Read more

Trump states that Army entered California to “open the water” and the State denies it

by

The President Donald Trump assured the early morning of Tuesday that the United States Army had “entered California”a state devastated by recent fires, To “open water”, a fact that state authorities have denied. “The United States Army has just entered the great state of California and, under emergency powers, opened the water that flows abundantly from the northwest of the Pacific and beyond,” Trump wrote in his social network in a Message in which he assured that “the days when using a false environmental argument about people ended. Enjoy water, California! ” The message occurred one day after Trump issued an executive order that instructed half a dozen federal agenciesincluding the Department of Defense and the Department of National Security, to manage how to deliver more water to the south of California and the Central Valley to end the fires in Los Angeles that the president visited last Friday. “The military did not enter California,” published the Department of Water Resources of the State of California in X. “The Federal Government restarted the supply of federal water pumps after they were out of service for maintenance for three days. State water supplies in southern California remain abundant, ”he said. Trump made last Friday a visit to North Carolina Los Angeles, California, where he toured areas hit by natural disasters and slid the possibility of eliminating the Federal Emergency Agencyin addition to criticizing the management of the Democrats. In California he supervised the damage caused by the fires of recent weeks in Los Angeles, about what has also been very critical for how the state governor, Democrat Gavin Newsom has managed. From the beginning of the fires, Trump has accused the state authorities of wasting large amounts of water that, according to him, are sent to the Pacific Ocean instead of directing them to Los Angeles. Trump ensures that this change in the flow of water is due to attempts from the state to protect a tiny -size fish called “Delta Smelt”, an assertion denied by local authorities and experts. It also says, without foundation, that water could deviate from Canada and that it would be enough to turn a valve to solve the water problems of the state.
