Latin America reaches 10,000 electric buses in operation
18d 12h ago in electricvehicles@slrpnk.net from www.electrive.comIntreseting point you made there, and I think you are correct. Found this relevant percentage about Chile, Santiago. And damn, I had to do some digging.
According to official data, the fleet went from 922 electric buses in 2022 to 4,088 units in February 2026, and is projected to reach 4,400 electric buses during 2026 – a figure equal to roughly 68% of the entire system fleet. [source]
To clarify and to my understanding, here they talk about the Red Movilidad system fleet which is the public transport system that serves Santiago.
If I got you right, the percentages you are looking for are in the article and you can have a visual representation in Figure 2 - Share of the electric bus fleet (...)

Solar Punk Farms | A queer-run regenerative hub
24d 12h ago in farming@slrpnk.net from www.solarpunkfarms.comI think it's very important to share these kind of thoughts, to protect ourselves and others. So thank you for your remark!
It didn't cross my mind to be honnest. Their about page didn't give that impression. Also, I looked up a bit Spencer Scott and I found some decent articles. For example: Solarpunk: Refuturing our Imagination for an Ecological Transformation.
Personnaly, I wanted to find specifics about their decission-making process. I didn't manage to really. I suppose if they had a model of horizontal organizing, they would be talking about it? In the same time it looked like a decent enough project, so it seemed like worth posting.
On second thought, does this project seem to you like it could be a cult?
Share of global electricity generation by source (2000-2025)
1mon 1d ago in energy@slrpnk.net from cdn.statcdn.comIt looks like one of the main problems with fusion are the materials.
Long-term research and design strategies for fusion energy materials
the materials required for commercially viable fusion power plants do not exist today. [...] The challenge of fusion materials is compounded by the fact that design targets are not precisely defined and are rapidly evolving and by a lack of representative testing facilities.
