The era of clean energy security Energy Secretary, Ed Miliband's speech at the Good Growth Foundation’s National Growth Debate.

Silly Michele Donelan on Sky’s ‘The Wrap’ saying it’s ‘common sense’ to dig for oil in the North Sea. Perhaps she can’t read?

After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.

They are sanctioning Iran, the victim of an illegal war. Why are they not sanctioning Israel and the US?

Canada needs to be more like Norway - another oil state - 96% car sales are EVs, 99% of electricity is fossil free.
Global demand for fossil fuels will decline, (we see now how reliance on oil is a security and economic risk). Canada needs to be planning for that and diversifiying

It doesn't say what colour she was dyed 😉

Fossil Fuels Fall Below 1% of Canadian Employment While Global Clean Energy Jobs Surge Fossil fuel employment has fallen to less than 1% of the Canadian work force, while growth in global energy jobs outpaced the wider economy for the third year in a row, according to two reports releas...

Fossil fuels jobs are ~1% of jobs in Canada and green jobs ~2%.

Cutting fuel prices financially supports people burning fossil fuels, and give most to those doing most environmental damage.
The same money given directly to households would encourage people to use better alternatives - cycle, public transport, work from home, EVs, smaller cars, frugal driving.

Now imagine the UK had PR....

Stimulating demand in the face of a global shortage. It seems a little short-sighted.

In 2025, the world started construction of nuclear power plants that would generate 12 GW of power if completed.

In the same year, it installed 108 GW of batteries and 600 GW of solar capacity.

När man ser sån här man ifrågasätter, vad är svenska värderingar egentligen?

Håller helt med @martinnordin.bsky.social. Vill vi verkligen vara så här? Det här är under all värdighet. 😢

Kind of odd to call them e-bike crashes if it's not the bike doing the crashing

Bada från privat brygga – så ser reglerna ut Många bryggägare sätter upp avskräckande skyltar för att hålla badsugna borta – trots att det i många fall är tillåtet att ta ett dopp där. I Sollentuna norr om Stockholm vill kommunen få stopp på ”pr...

He's now offering to put things right .... because he got caught.

A clip of two consecutive posts. The first describes how Congress won't speak out against Trump. The second, a quote from Anaïs Nin, "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to your courage."

Synchronicity....

Grattis till er båda! 😊

Who’d have thought a fossil-fuel shill like Trump would be the one to spark a green revolution? | George Monbiot The US attack on Iran has made the need for renewable energy inarguable, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

“Greens who were long dismissed as “idealistic” & “unrealistic” now look like hard-headed pragmatists & true patriots. They’re years ahead of their rivals in demanding a transition that makes sense on every level: environmental, economic & political” - great article from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👇

Jag kommer ihåg när Thatcher sänkte bidrag till arbetslösa. Det kändes lika fel då som nu.

"A new metric for assessing total system costs puts a least-cost mix of offshore wind and solar at about €46 ($54.20)/MWh in a future climate-neutral energy system for Denmark. Researchers tell pv magazine that figure is less than half the equivalent cost of nuclear under the same conditions."

'stop trying to 'fix' everything that doesnt conform to your idea of 'normal' ' would go a long way towards fixing all sorts of things in society.
Live and let live.

"Offenders could receive a fixed penalty of £300 and six penalty points on their licence."
Shouldn't the fine at least cost more than the missing insurance?

Meme: I used to think the top global environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and climate change. I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address these problems. But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy, and to deal with these we need a spiritual and cultural transformation, and we scientists don't know how to do that. Gus Speth Shared Planet: Religion and Nature, BBC Radio 4 (1 October 2013)

pro-disinformation money doesn't just buy reach, it buys repetition across 40 different "independent" sources until it sounds like consensus.

truth told once by one person can't compete with that architecturally. you need infrastructure, not just courage.

Att vara enig är ingen fördel on ni är eniga om fel saker

“I några få länder försöker man bromsa utvecklingen och skydda fossilindustrin.
Trumps USA är ett exempel. Tidöpartiernas Sverige ett annat. Här sänkte regeringen skatten på fossila bränslen och höjde den på el.
Stöd till solel och elbilsbonus har avskaffats.”

I hope they are charging for that

What craze?

Apropos of nothing.. I'm building a canoe 🙂
