Another fossil fuel rebate coming up in Germany. While I can understand the social reasons behind it, it also shows our vulnerabilities.

Whereas since 2022 we personally made a choice for a heat pump, EV and solar, German media and society resisted as much as possible.

Rising Diesel Price Is Trump’s Hidden Tax for Iran War

Washington sold the war as a national-security necessity. At the pump, loading dock, farm gate, and grocery aisle, Americans are paying the bill
