Sydney, Australia - First City to be 100% Renewable Energy Powered

Sydney, Australia is now fully powered by renewable electricity which is sourced from local wind and solar projects. every major building, stadium, convention center, sports fields and traffic lights are running via green clean energy.





The mayor of Australia, Clover Moore, presided over the green deal which was achieved in collaboration with flow power and Repower Shoalhaven. Repower Shoalhaven is a non profit community group which has been instrumental in developing community solar projects. Flow power is a key energy retailer within the Australian markets. Their mission entails helping business reshape how they manage electricity. The green deal is the largest one in Australian history.

Key elements that will be a result of this new shift in utilization of 100% renewable energy include:
  • CO2 emissions will decrease in Sydney by 20,000 tons.
  • The city will save money up to a half million per year.
  • Job growth and prospects are expected to increase.
  • Communities impacted by the pandemic will have increased support
It is expected that 3/4 of the city of Sydney will be powered through wind generators and 1/4 through solar panels. mayor Clover Moore recognizes the urgency of the climate emergency. She expressed gratitude and enthusiasm over the new deal that she helped to commission.





"We have shown that emissions-reducing renewable-use at scale is not only possible, it’s also good for jobs growth and good for the City’s finances – I hope all governments are watching on and will follow."

Now if only heavily polluted cities such as hong kong, new york or new delhi would follow sydney's lead and make use of natural energy sources, global carbon emissions goals would certainly be reached!

The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night.   He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask.  Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick!   There was a super thin body under the mask!  Could this be a clone of Nikocado?  Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting?  Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan.  At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead."  He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his fo...
