Bạn có biết khi trời nóng các máy điều hòa không khí phải dùng điện làm mát bằng cách thu nhiệt trong nhà để bơm ra ngoài. Lượng nhiệt bơm ra không phải chỉ là nhiệt trong nhà thôi mà nhiệt của lượng điện máy phải sử dụng khoảng 30% nữa. Không chỉ thế thôi đâu, để sản xuất ra điện nếu phải bằng năng lượng hóa thạch như than, dầu hay khí đốt sẽ thải ra lượng nhiệt gấp đôi hay ba điện lượng sản xuất.
At least 50 million people in Vietnam will be exposed to the impacts of rising sea levels and more powerful tropical storms and typhoons, among other threats.

In this essay, Ngô Thế Vinh MD wrote down his concerns about the impacts the influx of coal powered electric plants wrought on the health of the people and
MEKONG
Sông Mekong
The drying of the Mekong is not only an environmental crisis but also a human tragedy. Millions of people in Southeast Asia depend on the river for food, transportation, and agriculture. If the river continues to shrink, the region could face severe water shortages and loss of biodiversity.
PM Hun Manet, with the support of his father, proposed the Funan Techo Canal as a Cambodian Mega Project and a legacy of The Hun’s Family. Geopolitically, this waterway would allow them to transport goods in two ways from Phnom Penh to the sea, without having to follow the Tien or Hau Rivers, and would free them from dependence on Vietnam.
The highly-anticipated and debated Funan Techo Canal project was launched on August 5th 2024 with the ambitious plan to connect Cambodian waterways over the length of 180 kilometres passing through Kandal, Takeo, Kampot, and Kep provinces at a cost expected to be approximately USD $1,7 billion.
Cambodia is pushing ahead with plans to link the nation’s capital, Phnom Penh, to its coast with a canal running 180 kilometers, or 110 miles. According to Cambodian leaders, 51% or more of the canal’s cost will be covered by Cambodian companies and the remainder by a Chinese build-operate-transfer (BOT) firm.

AUDIO BOOK
Mekong Dòng Sông Nghẽn Mạch của Ngô Thế Vinh là những trang bút ký sống động với nhiều hình ảnh của tác giả qua những chuyến đi thăm các khúc sông Mekong từ thượng nguồn Vân Nam, Lào, Thái Lan, Cam Bốt xuống tới ĐBSCL Việt Nam: cũng để thấy rằng với những bước khai thác huỷ hoại đã khiến toàn hệ sinh thái của dòng sông đang suy thoái nhanh hơn dự kiến của nhiều người, ngoài chuỗi những con đập thuỷ điện bậc thềm khổng lồ Vân Nam chắn ngang dòng chính Sông Mekong, nay lại thêm dự án 12 con đập dòng chính hạ lưu ở Lào và Cam Bốt với những hậu quả tích luỹ khiến con Sông Mekong, Biển Hồ với Châu thổ Tonlé Sap và ĐBSCL đang chết dần.
