I wish we could ignore Bill Gates on the climate crisis. But he’s a billionaire, so we can’t | George Monbiot
Money talks – and his essay denouncing ‘near-term emissions goals’ at Cop30 mostly argues the case for letting the ultra-rich off the hook

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

#Vermögenssteuer @markus.reuter.netzpolitik.org
»Solange die Vermögenssteuer nicht wieder eingeführt ist, sollten wir uns jeder Debatte um soziale Kürzungen wie längere Arbeitszeit, spätere Rente, Wegfall Pflegestufe 1 oder Kürzung des Bürgergeldes verweigern. Es ist genug Geld da, nur eben vollkommen ungerecht verteilt.« Markus Reuter https://bsky.app/profile/markus.reuter.netzpolitik.org/post/3lzvhafhwxk2i

Banning Israel from the ESC may be ill conceived. It punishes Netanyahu's opposition, and may even take away their voice, while being meaningless for Netanyahu's base. Instead, such moves increase the perception of "we against the world", not helping Gaza.

Komisch. Wir kommen im Podcast zur Erkenntnis, dass Kirk mit einigen seiner "legitimen" Meinungen gegen das deutsche Grundgesetz verstoßen hätte (Art. 1 und 5) und vermutlich nach §130 StGb Volksverhetzung (seine Holocaustrelativierung) betrieb.

Now talking: antisemitic White Nationalist Jack Posobiec (who gave a Hitler salute at CPAC) who compares Kirk to Moses and talks about the survival of „Western civilisation“, claims Kirk‘s sacrifice will be the „turning point“- „are you ready to put on the full armour of god“ in „spiritual warfare“

Ramón Méndez Galain helped Uruguay decarbonize its grid in just five years, with 98 percent of its energy coming from renewable sources.

His new vision is to see Uruguay’s success story replicated in other countries.
He got an entire country running on clean energy. Can he do it again?

Today our transmission grid capacity is only used about 55% of the time. Our distribution grid, less than 30% of the time. But for 50-100 hours a year everything could be used close to 100% of their capacity — so we overinvest in those hours.

Nice paper! Though: Residues, manure, municipal waste: typically they are already used as fertilizers, biodiversity valuable materials, or cooking fuels. These are at risk of being replaced, e.g., with unsustainable palm oil. Sustainability potentials probably lower (?)
