Thailand close to completing world's biggest hydro-floating solar farm

Thailand is close to completing one the world's biggest hydro-floating solar hybrid projects on the surface of a dam, part of steps towards boosting renewable energy production after years of criticism for reliance on fossil fuels.

Some 144,417 units of solar panels are being installed on a reservoir in the northeast province of Ubon Ratchathani, where workers are completing the last of seven solar farms covering 300 acres (121 hectares) of water area. Authorities are aiming to complete the project in June.

Thailand has long relied on coal for its power, but plans for new coal-fired projects have been met with opposition over health and environmental risks, including two proposed southern coal plants shelved in 2018. It is aiming to draw 35% of its energy from non-fossil fuel sources by 2037, according to its latest Power Development Plan.

I love reading the ignorant comments. It's my favorite. Killing fish (and birds?). Wind not touching the water so less O2. Even bringing the Uyghur situation into it. Keep'em comin'!

I wish we had a state run energy system

Great job ..not taking away from digging up more lands.. thinking outside the box..if ever home had solar in the warmer locations with proper batteries we could reduce our impact on the environment.. governments around world should make more changes help us become less dependent on big corporations for our power..

The energy reflection rate from solo panels count for anything? good or bad.

[iBShriff]

“144, 000”...of course that’s the number...

[End-Putlereva]

The irony is that it takes hundreds of oil tankers and hundreds of plastic molding injection facilities to manufacture this 'green' energy producing plastic material.

Why they place in on the dam not on the ground

[vishnusaitejanagabandi]

Lol india had 100 mega watt floating solar panel farm

[Bewatervan]

Garbages for future sure.Material come from where? Destroying planet damn

[SunSun]

Just fill the ocean with one large attached-garbage. Gretler Approved!

Based on the comments up to now in this thread related to this article, I think I just entered into a Twilight Zone in the You Tube comment world.

These floating solar panels are going to kill a lot of birds.

[libefiken]

Literally going to kill so much aquatic life.

[briansaenz]

I want to spearfish this area after completely done. Be amazing to see what comes around after

[Mightymightyable]

Environmental catastrophe in the making...

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi, ’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father, ’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted".
Matthew 23 NIV

You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

"If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land."

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father,  who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

This, then, is how you should pray:

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

These are the teachings,
The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
REPENT, and start doing what is right.
If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples; then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

A time is coming and has now come, that the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth. God is Spirit, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and Truth; they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

In the New Heaven and New Earth,
only Righteousness dwells.
May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.
