This reminds me of this project by VTT and Aalto University from 2019, where they used 3B printed bio polymers and fungal mycelium & yeast to make headhones. However, shoes seem to be a far more demanding application. www.vttresearch.com/en/news-and-...

Australia's truffle industry may owe part of its success to a surprising underground secret Imagine ordering a truffle dish in a fancy restaurant, and you might picture pricey gourmet mushrooms from France or Italy.

Australia has become a leading producer of French black truffles, with high yields potentially linked to reduced competition from other soil fungi in its truffle orchards. doi.org/hbxr6f

ZDF Politbarometer: Mehrheit: Energiewende geht zu langsam Mit 57 Prozent finden die meisten Befragten, dass die Energiewende in Deutschland zu langsam vorankommt, besonders groß ist diese Kritik bei den Jüngeren (unter 35 Jahre: 67 Prozent). Für insgesamt 15 Prozent geht die Energiewende zu schnell und 21 Prozent halten das Tempo für gerade richtig.

Die Union macht Energiepolitik für 15% der Bevölkerung und und prahlt auch noch ständig damit, wundert sich aber, dass die AfD in Umfragen an ihr vorbeizieht. Drei Viertel der Deutschen wollen weiterhin keine Rechtsextremen, aber 57% eine schnellere Energiewende.

🍂 Autumn is simply the best time of the year.

Victoria's free public transport continues in May with half-price fares to follow Public transport will be free in Victoria for another month, and fares will then be slashed by half until the rest of the year in a bid to curb fuel demand and provide economic relief.

I love this kind of #socialism!
Free #publictransport would be unthinkable in Germany - why I am
so happy to live in the great state of #Victoria!

‘Independent’ group Energy for Australians that ran anti-Labor ads received more than $1m from coal lobby Coal Australia denies its donations to the ‘community-driven association’ amount to astroturfing, but critics accuse the group of misleading the public * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast An “independent, community-driven association” that ran anti-Labor adverts during the last federal election was entirely funded by a coal industry lobby group, the Guardian can reveal. Energy for Australians accepted more than $1m from Coal Australia – a group advocating for coal whose members include major miners Yancoal, Peabody, New Hope and Whitehaven. Continue reading...

This is just hilarious!
In the meantime anyone with basic maths skills is buying an #EV or #ebike or suddenly acknowledges the existence of public transport. The end of the fossil-era is coming closer.

Looks like the Artemis2 crew had better food while looping around the moon.
However, you got this fucker back into power, so just enjoy the ride with all your national pride.

Now, two years later the report still hasn't been shared with the public. As we had two very serious car-bike accidents last week - I will make a #FreedomOfInformation request to get this publicly / @TAC funded report released - and get our Council focus on #bikesafery. 🚲🦺

I am loosing my cool

Our Council conducted a #roadsafety survey,with a focus on #activetransport aka #walking&cycling, during the winter school holidays 🫥
We, the ‘serving public’, heavily supported the engineering consultancy who conducted the survey.

It's so fucking dumb, because you don't make people lower their consumption by making it cheaper.
…and still Australia, Germany, and Canada are all making the exact same mistake. At least they made public transport (temporary) free in Victoria and Tasmania.

Analysis: China’s clean-energy exports in 2024 alone will cut overseas CO2 by 1% - Carbon Brief China’s clean-energy technologies such as solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles are helping to cut emissions in other countries.

The solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles (EVs) and wind turbines exported from China in 2024 are set to cut annual CO2 emissions in the rest of the world by 1%, some 220m tonnes (MtCO2). www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi...
