Türkiye reaches 18.7 GW Photovoltaic Capacity
One of the paradoxes of human-made climate change is that as we heat up the planet by burning gasoline, coal and fossil gas, it makes the summers hotter. These torrid months impel people to run the air conditioner nonstop, which requires burning more coal or fossil gas, which causes it to get hotter. It is … Continue reading Türkiye reaches 18.7 GW Photovoltaic Capacity
