The State Government Foresees Billion-Dollar Investments in the Renewable Energy Sector, Such as Wind Energy and Solar Energy

The Economic Development Secretariat (SDE) of the Bahia Government highlighted the signing of protocols that will generate significant investments in the state. The secretariat informed that 37 letters of intent were signed with the state in this first quarter. They foresee investments of up to R$ 5.2 billion, generating thousands of job openings. The majority of the investments will be for wind energy and solar energy projects.

João Leão, Vice Governor of Bahia and Secretary of the department, highlighted the good environment that the negotiation has in the state: “Despite the pandemic, work here has not stopped. I believe that the healthy business environment and stable economy of the State have allowed us to continue attracting good business. I highlight that the internalization of investments continues to be a priority for the Bahia government.”

He also highlighted that around 86% of the investments, that is, job openings, will go to cities in the interior of the state, which are more in need. Last year, 76% of these investments were also for the interior of the state.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Two helicopters, 41 people, and over 38 tons of bait were mobilized on a remote Pacific atoll to eliminate rats; five years later, native trees grew by 5,000%, seabirds gained habitat, and the rainforest began to regenerate.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

Between Egypt and Sudan, Bir Tawil is no man’s land that neither country wants on paper, but in practice has gold mining, nomadic tribes, and even fake “kings.”

Swimming champion Shavarsh Karapetyan dove about 40 times into a frozen lake in Armenia to rescue a sunken bus, saved 20 lives, and lost his career because of it.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

New portable bathroom is ready in 90 seconds, measures 2.18 meters, fits in the car when closed, and offers privacy for showering and changing clothes.
