We delve into this #trilemma through our research at the site of a #solar energy project proposed in the city of #Leipzig, Germany. The project is located at a former landfill in #Seehausen, which over twenty years of disuse became a wildlife refuge and beloved green space for residents.

Attacks on energy facilities, interrupting transit of energy, fertilizer and other critical materials, targeting desalination plants: weaponization of the food-water-energy #trilemma in the Persian Gulf conflict.

Protests in Iran seem to validate the #prosperity_legitimacy_equation as the proximate cause is loss of savings and rising prices. #Trilemma pressures also apparent especially with water shortages in play.

Prices rises--especially for beef--have been the subject of conversations on local talk radio here. A reminder that #trilemma pressures are real--and that protein consumption is part of the #prosperity_legitimacy_equation.
