Good step, but we need to go further. Kick out all US companies. Block all big tech services, kick out McDonalds, oil companies, accountancy firms, block import of all General Motors cars. No more Apple stores, sorry. Block sales of microchip lithography machines. Close their factories and nationalize them.
Then, for good measure, dump all US bonds the ECB holds.
Thén have a talk.
Definitely. But don’t count on things automatically getting better after. Too many other unsavory characters waiting in the wings
Great time to start looking for alternatives. Any suggestions?
The upside is, this time it’s explicitly said it’s about the oil. At least that’s something
Something being a law don’t mean it’s legal
Orban only now realizing that Hungary will again be part of the Russian empire…
Stop mistaking surrender for peace
Injustice is never legal
Also that guy is white
That would have to be French nukes then
Will watch later, but what’s an anti-circumvention law?
For a sec there I thought that was the Scumm Bar
Just curious here, who did you vote for and who will you now vote for?
This graph claims to be based on IEA numbers. Let’s say that’s true and the numbers used are correct.
Then this graph says that between now and 2050:
Keep in mind that energy usage across the board is increasing daily. And this graph assumes that to be and remain true up to 2050. So this is NOT a degrowth scenario, nor even a no-growth or static scenario. Visual Capitalist, indeed.
Given those assumptions, it makes sense that even significant growth in solar and wind will not dent their share of the total that much. For solar to equal oil in this scenario it would have to increase almost 21-fold against the end-of-2024 graph baseline, and to replace all fossils it would have to grow about 50-fold. Wind would need to grow with it, because solar and wind need to more or less go together. If we stick to the ratios of this graph, then wind would need to grow about 30-fold.
It’s clear that the authors of the IEA report are firm believers in ‘business as usual’. Kiss your climate goals goodbye. And your big coastal cities.
Then again, how would a world look with 50x as much solar panels and 30x as many wind farms? Or a world without ever-increasing energy usage?
Curious. Who’d have thunked?
No worries! The US government is standing by to bail out all all of Trumps overleveraged donors friends, using money that has yet to be printed, paid for by you, the taxpayer. With your money, your savings, your healthcare, your education.
And then they will blame the left for it.
I guarantee it.
Dysfunctional? They waved through, covered for or actively cheerled one piece of crap after the other, selling out their own power while they were at it. Call that dysfunctional!
What’s that, Mr Microslop man? How about fixing the crap you call your products first, before telling others what words they can or cannot use
Lets call it what it is: a concentration camp
