Spain's blackout had nothing to do with renewables

Red Eléctrica miscalculated dynamic voltage capacity needed. Regulator should have switched on another thermal plant.

Plus, private generators failed to regulate the grid's voltage shortly before the blackout

Ska vi sätta ihop en tidsserie över regeringens UNWRA-fiasko?

- SD har länge krävt att stödet til Palestina och särskilt till UNWRA ska stoppas. SD hatar UNWRA.
- Jan 24 pausas biståndet till UNWRA pga anklagelser om stöd till terrordådet okt 23 (efter SD-krav).
- Mars 24, stödet återupptas.

Hop on, ride off! 🚆🚲

As of today, bikes are welcome on-board of EU trains. All new and upgraded trains in the EU will have dedicated spots for full-sized bicycles.

So, you can ride wherever the train takes you!

This is a key step on the way to net zero emissions by 2050.

4,137 dangerous products were flagged in 2024 — a record high.

Cosmetics were the top category, with 36% of all alerts. Many contained banned substances like BMHCA.
