The word is spreading about Detroit around the world!
Detroidi sümbol, Michigani keskraudteejaam, on ära päästetud. Viimati sattusin sellest 1913 maailma kõrgeima raudteejaamana avatud hoonest trööstituid pilte vaatama vast kümmekond aastat tagasi ja arvasin, et see on nüüd juba teetäiteks jahvatatud. /1

Hmm closed meeting with Russians, spouting Russian talking points, an empty deal, false indignation and they seemed pretty happy at the end of the meeting, planned end of cyber security against the invaders, and now end of support to the victims. Seems to be a trend here. Switched sides I think 😔

It’s over 1,000km from Berlin to Paris
There’s now a direct daytime train between them, that takes 8 hours and costs just €59. Leave at 10am, arrive 6pm.
And… it’s just 1% the carbon emissions of the equivalent flight

1 December 1924, the Soviet Union’s coup attempt in independent Estonia killed 26 people. Thanks to the brave Estonian troops this failed.
Just four years earlier, Soviet Russia had recognized Estonia’s sovereignty.
A reminder that international treaties mean nothing to Russia.

My dream with school was to learn how to do solar powered homes, utilizing excess energy for electrolysis, storing hydrogen to be used as needed with fuel cells. Some how got side tracked with battery research as pushed by my advisor, but I still dream about it.
The U.S. can’t afford dirty hydrogen. $44M+ just went to hydrogen hubs in the Midwest & Gulf that risk harming communities & the climate.
Truly clean, green hydrogen must be powered by renewables—not fossil fuels.

Hydrogen Hubs Pose Risks to Communities and the Climate
Earthjustice and our partners are held a community rally in Northwest Indiana’s industrial corridor near Chicago to demand clean hydrogen and make sure community voices are heard.
