Chinese Province Larger Than Texas Just Ran For An Entire Week On Only Renewable Energy

Chinese state media has announced this week that the sprawling province of Qinghai in the country's northwest had run for seven consecutive days entirely on renewable energy. The province, which is larger than Texas, relied only on wind, solar and hydroelectric power from June 17 to 23, reported Xinhua. These renewable energy sources reportedly provided Qinghai and its population of 5.8 million with 1.1 billion kilowatt hours of electricity-- equal to about 535,000 tons of coal.

Qinghai's fossil fuel free week was a part of a trial that the Chinese government initiated to see if an entire province could successfully achieve zero emissions for an extended period of time.

Ir will break the current record of four days held by Portugal.

The YPJ (Women's Protection Units) sharpshooter is seen taking an aim through a window during fighting in the terror group's besieged Syrian stronghold Raqqa. After she takes her own shot a chunk of the wall just behind her head explodes, showering the room with dust and plaster. She immediately ducks down and laughs at her close brush with death and is even seen sticking her tongue out sheepishly.
