Spain could be the only EU country to beat energy price hikes Spain spent the last six years investing heavily in wind and solar energy, leading to some of the cheapest power prices in Europe.

Balcony solar is taking state legislatures by storm In more than half of U.S. states, Republican and Democratic lawmakers have introduced legislation that would boost adoption of DIY solar systems.

In more than half of US states, Republican and Democratic lawmakers have introduced legislation that would boost adoption of small plug-in solar panels that sit on apartment balconies and plug directly into household outlets. Canary Media buff.ly/5B79fOA #ShareGoodNewsToo

I love that Trump's toadies are wearing comically large shoes because the boss bought them and they're too chickenshit to mention that he guessed the wrong size.

Een grote overwinning voor omwonenden van Schiphol!

De Raad van State oordeelt dat de bescherming van omwonenden niet op orde is. Dit slaat de juridische basis weg onder het plan van het Kabinet om -tegen alle adviezen in- toch 478.000 vluchten op Schiphol toe te staan. 1/2

Reaching net zero by 2050 β€˜cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

"Achieving the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a single oil shock and bring health and economic benefits while insulating the country against future costs, the government’s climate advisers have forecast."

With a fossil fuel energy crisis looming, UEFA's biggest Champions League sponsor is still a fossil fuel burning airline.

If you want to get rid of your petrol car, I have one piece of advice: go for an electric car, not a hybrid car.

Hybrid cars are a fossil fuel industry scam, dirty and expensive.

(Of course, the best car is a train car!)

A dark and killing cloud over Tehran And over a shamed America

America and Israel are in essence waging chemical war in Iran, filling the air above its metropolis with toxic smoke after lighting its oil storage depots on fire.
How is anyone supposed to "rise up" when they can't breathe?

As LA prepares to host FIFA World Cup games in weeks, Dodger Fans Against Fossil Fuels throws our support behind this campaign. Indeed, our expanded campaign had protestors at a FIFA stadium in Atlanta last week. All teams & sports must end fossil fuel sponsorships now. Stop the #sportswashing.

It's a marathon, not a sprint When you've committed to holding a Summer Olympics, a marathon route becomes a guaranteed death march

With tomorrow's highs in the 80s, the LA Marathon is letting runners bail at mile 18 and still get a finishing medal. But how will LA28 handle the Olympic marathon at the end of July in what will almost certainly be hotter weather?

Plus a 2028 state hearing, and the latest Hot Links headlines πŸ”₯

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Als Barry Madlener aantreedt, zien zijn ambtenaren hoe de minister zich laat ompraten door de luchtvaartsector. Ze waarschuwen dat omwonenden van Schiphol zo niet goed worden beschermd tegen geluidsoverlast. Bewoners zullen nooit tevreden zijn, zegt de minister volgens ambtenaren. buff.ly/x8l1Zci

Bizar: het kabinet laat zojuist weten wat de eenmansactie van Eelco Heinen bij box 3 gaat kosten:

€3,3 miljard (!) aan belastingkorting voor beleggers.

De VVD breekt binnen een week het coalitieakkoord open, D66 en CDA laten het gebeuren..

Als we meer zonnepanelen en windmolens hadden gehad, hadden we nu amper iets gemerkt van de hoge energieprijzen De extreem hoge energieprijzen na de Russische inval in 2022 raakten de Nederlandse economie hard. Ook de oorlog in Iran kan dit soort effecten krijgen. Als Nederland veel meer zonne- en windenergie bouwt, worden deze prijsschokken veel kleiner.

Hoe Trump de voetbalwereld laat afstevenen op het instabielste WK ooit Sportorganisaties als de Fifa boetseerden van Donald Trump een sterke man en vredesstichter. Maar de oorlog met Iran die hij daarna ontketende, kan voor diezelfde sportorganisaties financieel grote gevolgen hebben.

Blijkt dat de β€œgroene gekkies” gewoon gelijk hadden.

Hoe langer we vasthouden aan olie en gas, hoe kwetsbaarder we zijn voor geopolitieke spanningen, chantage en prijsschokken.

Sneller naar zon, wind en opslag is geen idealisme. Het is strategische autonomie.

40% of US rail freight is also fossil fuels, mostly coal. Wind coal down and you free up a lot of rail resources! Some of which could be converted to fast electric passenger trains, which in countries with modern transport infrastructure are faster than air travel for most trips under 1000 miles.
