On February 8, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia left Russia and Belarus energy system. By the end of the day today, they will have joined the European grid.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Hundreds of households believed the bedtime stories by politicians and parts of the gas industry that hydrogen will replace fossil gas.
They now find themselves with a stranded asset in form of a new gas boiler as cities start winding down the gas grid.
