And now #spain appears to also have their own #energycrisis , with a large #drought causing them to #shutdown their #hydropower https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/on.. On top of that, their #hydropower #output has been #halved this year too.
Due to #china 's #drought they are now looking to #seed #artificial #clouds to #induce #rain https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chin.. It has *never* been used in these conditions and it is really unclear what #sideeffects there may be. This could go very horribly wrong. It's also not clear what #pollution this causes. It would be #ironic if they save their #harvests but end up #poisoning it.
Ouch, apparently #china 's #drought and therefore #water #crisis is reaching new levels of bad: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chin.. This will affect #food , #manufacturing , #energy and pretty much everything else.
Oh wow, the #river #rhine #drought is probably the #worst since 1616, as messages such as "if you see me, weep" are #revealed due to the #water level: https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/hitler.. And it looks like our #drought may be even worse than this still. Insanity.
#california in the #us is now cutting off #water #supply to #farmers during the worst #drought season they've had in a long time: https://www.sacbee.com/news/california/w.. This is apparently in order to save some #endangered #salmon - which is going to have a knock on effect for #crops and therefore the #economy ... The situation is very fucked right now. I do not believe they chose the right option.
