War in the Middle East hasn’t triggered a coal comeback, but it is boosting renewables | Fortune Despite the worst energy supply shock in history, countries are turning to solar and wind instead of coal to fill the gap, report finds.

Fossil fuels have long been used as tools of power and coercion by authoritarian regimes.

Renewable energy is a peace, security and cost of living solution as well as a climate solution.

A just transition is inevitable- in fact it’s already happening. Now is the moment to fast track it.

The defeat of Viktor Orbán is the best news the EU could have hoped for.

But we should stay cautious.

Péter Magyar comes from Orbán’s far right party and only left in 2024. His past looks more like opportunism than conviction.

He has significant leverage over the EU. Let’s hope he uses it wisely.

Unpopular opinion:

AI companies and their tools are destroying our democracies.

But our economic system is now tied to AI-driven growth.

If we stop AI, we crash the system that holds our democracies.

If we keep AI, democracy dies.

We’re fucked… this is how capitalism ends.

Rabobank: 'Nederlandse economie verliest de strijd met België en Denemarken' Als Nederland het hoge niveau van welvaart wil behouden, dan moet er volgens economen van Rabobank snel meer geld worden gestoken in innovatie.

Als gevolg van de snoeiharde lobby van de vee-industrie (LTO c.s.) kiest ook het huidige kabinet ervoor om een verliesgevende sector als de vee-industrie zwaar te subsidiëren. Dit rampzalige economische wanbeleid komt Nederland duur te staan.

Excuses, maar geen geld. Waarom Nederland de slachtoffers in Hawija niet compenseert | Investico Onderzoeksjournalisten Ruim tien jaar na het bombardement op Hawija negeert het ministerie van Defensie bewijslast voor compensatie van burgerslachtoffers en weigert hen individueel te compenseren voor de schade.

Wij zijn verantwoordelijk, maar niet aansprakelijk, zegt het minsterie van Defensie, over de burgerslachtoffers die vielen bij het bombardement in Hawija in 2015. Er is geen bewijslast, houden ze vol. Wij gingen met BOOS naar Hawija en vonden die bewijslast wel buff.ly/H3GYLL9

Explosives found near pipeline ‘likely a Russian provocation’, says military expert Former Ukrainian major general says 4kg of material found in Serbia was attempt to influence Hungary’s election * Hungary elections explainer The amount of explosives discovered in Serbia last week would not have been enough to destroy the Balkan Stream gas pipeline, prompting an expert to conclude it was probably a Russian intelligence plot aimed at influencing Hungary’s impending election. A former Ukrainian major general and a munitions specialist told the Guardian calculations made by his company showed the 4kg of explosives recovered by Serbia’s military security agency in Kanjiža could not have seriously ruptured the pipe.
