While what has happened in Burma and Thailand has been devastating, I saw this image today and feel very fortunate to be living in Cambodia.

Is that the earthquake belt?
Stay safe Timmy.
I work with a girl from Thailand, her family are all safe as she said they're in the south.
Frightening ! You never know where it's going to hit.
Watching some of those buildings come down was terrifying.

Yes that's the last 50 years' worth of quakes registering over magnitude "4". I'm in the big grey area in the middle with none. I haven't felt a quake since I left NZ in 1996.

Some scary footage indeed coming out of Bangkok and Mandalay though. I suspect the death toll could be >10,000 when they finish clearing it up.

From the Climate Council. Incredible really:

It took 68 years to reach the first terawatt of solar power—then just two years to hit the second.

To put that into context, 2TW is equal to the whole power capacity of India, the US, and the UK combined, and enough to power 1 billion households worldwide! No other energy-producing technology has grown this quickly.

Let’s hear it for solar power!
