Nutzen statt abwürgen! Wehrt euch gegen Reiches Angriff auf die Erneuerbaren.

Energieministerin Katherina Reiche will privaten Solaranlagen den Stecker ziehen: Statt die Kostenvorteile der Erneuerbaren auf alle zu verteilen, sollen künftig die Großen gefördert und die Kleinen ausgebremst werden.

Only arguing with a price tag is dangerous.
First reason should be sustainability.
Did you know how much of the power generation capacity added each year world-wide was in renewables?

2022 it was 80 %
2023 it was 86 %
2024 it was 92,5 %

Not because the whole world suddenly turned „woke“, but because it’s the cheapest!

Die globalen CO2-Emissionen müssen in spätestens 25 Jahren auf null sein, um das Pariser Abkommen einzuhalten. Wenn wir 2050 noch Strom, Industrie, Heizung und Verkehr in 🇩🇪 haben wollen, müssen wir *jetzt* den geordneten Übergang vorantreiben. 1/2

„Die globale Erhitzung ist DAS Problem“, schrieb er. „Das wird leider nicht begriffen. Sonst wären die Entscheidungen und Handlungen anders.“ Terli fuhr fort: „Das fliegt uns um die Ohren. Mit Sicherheit! Physik gilt für alle. Ausnahmslos!“

An important long read. Key elements of highly pathogenic H5N1 incl: 1. It’s already a major ‘pandemic’ of birds with big impact, (2) it’s adapting to mammals, (3) it’s not yet in Oz, (4) we need robust pandemic preparedness, including clean indoor air strategies. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Millions of you, around the world, have put the lessons I wrote in #OnTyranny in late 2016 to good use. It has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I was honored when John Lithgow volunteered to read them aloud.
Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

If you ever wondered how the KGB manipulated foreigners and got them to repeat Soviet propaganda, spend some time listening to Steve Witkoff talk about his wonderful conversations with Vladimir Putin.

Heute ist der 22. März (Weltwassertag) und in fast ganz Deutschland sind die oberen Bodenschichten ausgetrocknet.
Die Karten des UFZ Dürremonitors weisen sogar extreme Dürre in vielen Landesteilen aus.
Das sollte man ernst nehmen. Anstatt über die Abschaffung des Umweltministeriums zu fabulieren.

Nächste Woche beginnen in Utrecht die Bauarbeiten am größten autofreien Stadtteil der 🇳🇱. In Merwede entstehen 6000 Häuser. Das Besondere: Es gibt Radwege statt Straßen, nur 250 Sharing, dafür 21.500 Fahrradparkplätze und viel grün. Was für ein schöner Meilenstein auf dem Weg zur lebenswerten Stadt❤️

Die Grünen haben bei dieser Bundestagswahl das zweitbeste Ergebnis ihrer Geschichte erzielt. 👍

Im Gegensatz zum Absturz von SPD und FDP ist das überhaupt keine "Niederlage". 🍀

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.
