Iran FM: ‘There's one striking difference between the present and the Stone Age: there was no oil or gas being pumped in the Middle East back then. Are POTUS and Americans who put him in office sure that they want to turn back the clock?’

Hate to say it, but Iran has been spot-on with its messaging from day one of the war.
Foreign Minister Araghchi:
"What will never recover: damage to America's standing."

In just over a decade, Chile went from no utility-scale wind or solar at all to having more electricity from these sources than from all fossil fuels combined:
In 2000, wind+solar provided 0% of Chile's electricity, fossil fuels 45%.By 2025, wind+solar had risen to 36%, fossil fuels fallen to 28%.

I've totally f*cked my career BTW.
Through opposing Israel's genocide, the United States AND Mark Rutte, I've sunk my career ship.
That's fine by me.
I've always put morality and ethics at the core of national and collective security and defence.
And so should everyone else.
Slava Ukraini!

Sad words of the 1st Galbraith, "In an organisation, it's always safer, quite safer, to be wrong with the majority, than to be right in minority". It's a general truth, and with Ukraine, we are stil paying for the mistakes of others, who were promoted, meanwhile the right ones were/are harassed.

Morning rush hour just outside of the city center of Utrecht.
About 60% of people enter center city #Utrecht by bike, 17% by walking, 14% by transit, and the smallest fraction by car.
It's why the city works well for everyone.

The world is adding 1 GW of solar every HALF DAY.
In 2004, that same 1 GW took a whole YEAR. That’s exponential S-curve disruption.
Next up:
🔋 Storage explodes
🚗 EVs accelerate
🛢️ Fossil demand gets squeezed
Sales tell you what’s happening. Capacity tells you what wins.

Joo... Hyvä, ettei Marinin kauden aikana ollut mitään kriisejä, kuka nyt muistaisi koronaa, Venäjän hyökkäystä tai energiakriisiä. Ei Orpolla ole käynyt "paska tuuri", vaan hallitusohjelma on surkea.
