We’re about to hit the phase of the S-curve where the world goes from “fast” to “holy shit.” Solar doubling from 1 TW to 2 TW in just two years wasn’t policy — it was economics going fully exponential & the next doubling will be even faster. #Lithium #Renewables #BESS #LFP The real elephant in the room is BESS, because once you pair solar with storage, sunlight stops being “intermittent” and becomes dispatchable — meaning you can deliver solar power exactly when the grid needs it, day or night. At that point the whole system flips: coal can’t compete, gas can’t compete, and nuclear starts looking even slower and more overpriced. This is the moment grids shift from fossil-limited to battery-backed, and once that happens, the acceleration becomes civilisational. We’re not ready for how fast this phase hits. ⚡🔋

Dear Viktor, I understand that there is an election campaign in your country, and that this time you are truly being challenged for power. But we do not interfere in your election campaign, nor do we want to become part of it. Sweden and the Swedish people have always been friends of Hungary and the Hungarian people, as you know. We were friends of Hungary before your government, during your government, and we will remain so after your government. We remember when Hitler’s genocide of Jews struck Hungary, and how Sweden in 1944 sent diplomat Raoul Wallenberg on a special mission to Budapest, to save as many Hungarian lives as possible. Tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews survived because we provided them with provisional protective passports and citizenship here in Sweden. When the Soviet Union later invaded Hungary, Raoul Wallenberg was forcibly taken to Moscow and disappeared. The Swedish diplomat died, but tens of thousands of Hungarian lives were saved. We would do it again. We also remember when the Soviet Union brutally crushed your Hungarian struggle for democracy and freedom in 1956, and when Prime Minister Imre Nagy was later executed for his efforts to democratize the country. When Russian tanks crushed the Hungarian freedom struggle, the Hungarian people pleaded with the UN and all Western powers for help. Almost no one listened. But one country that showed deep solidarity with you was Sweden. We opened our arms to your freedom fighters and dissidents. We allowed you to build exile opposition against Soviet communism here, despite our non-alignment. It was not without risk for us. But we did it anyway—because it was the right thing to do. Today, over 40,000 people of Hungarian descent live in Sweden, many of whom are descendants of the Hungarian refugees who came here in connection with the 1956 uprising. They are a well-integrated immigrant group in our Swedish society. Democratic states help each other, then and now. And they stand up against countries that try to oppress others. That is why, just as in 1944 and 1956, we support democratic countries that Russian tanks try to overrun. Back then, it was about Hungary; today, it is about Ukraine. And if we do not act, it could be about another country tomorrow. This is also why we often express concern about the developments in Hungary in recent years. Hungary ultimately regained its freedom, but freedom must also be defended. That is why we question when you go to have coffee with the leader of the same country that crushed your compatriots’ freedom struggle in 1956 and that today attacks your neighbour, Ukraine. Hungary and the West are not strengthened by closing the door to their European friends or by attacking each other and the very things that distinguish us from barbarism — democracy and the rule of law. Let me conclude with some wise words from yourself in 2007: “As kind of a new generation of the West, our message to those younger than we is to stick to a Western type Hungary, not to let Hungary be derailed from its Western path, and to love that Hungary is a Western type country, which means that we believe in the free will of people and in the mutual responsibility towards each other that we take upon us, which are inseparable parts of Western culture. The oil might come from the east, but freedom always comes from the west. And democracy cannot be directed from above, it can only grow from the hearts of people and in this way create a viable, Hungarian life.” Finally, I wish to convey Sweden’s respect for the Hungarian people, and to wish your country a free, peaceful, and successful election.

If Steve Witkoff had worked for Truman we would have dropped the bombs on ourselves and unconditionally surrendered to Japan

People complain that it will cost a lot of money - more debt and higher taxes - to make Europe defence ready... Do you even have an idea what will happen to YOUR income & bank account if russia attacks an EU/Euro member? Ukraine's GDP fell almost 30% when russia invaded and 1/5

Europe, this is your future if you do not stand up for Ukraine now. You do not have to do it because it is right or just, you need to do it to save yourself--and because the picture you are seeing is being directly supported by US actions.

So ist es.

Let's be honest. The reason TACO Pedo refused to send in the National Guard when the Capitol was under attack on J6 was bcz it was an attempted coup to overthrow the US government by Trump himself. The loathsome piece of shit should currently be in prison, not the White House.

A north korean KN-23 ballistic missile, launched by russia—america’s “friend”—hits a residential building in the capital of a European country. The world doesn't care. That's the reality we live in.

I’m starting to think the only person Trump ever hired who was actually qualified to do her job was Stormy Daniels.

RT @Ania_In_UA: Incomparable original version VS. a pathetic copy.

Ukrainians laugh bitterly describing the current situation: 450 million-strong Europe depends on military backing of 340 million-strong US, which bows to 140 million-strong Russia, which is being held in check by 40 million-strong Ukraine.

Die Koalitionsverhandler sollten wirklich über ihren Schatten springen. Z.B. würde ein Tempolimit von 100km/h auf Autobahnen etwa so viel CO2 Einsparungen bringen, wie durch die Förderung von Gebäudesanierungen und Heizungen erreicht wird. Also ein massives Einsparungspotential.

Man kann die Wirklichkeit nicht wählen, aber man kann wählen, wie verantwortungsvoll wir uns zu ihr verhalten, wie seriös wir Antworten für die Herausforderungen unserer Zeit suchen und mit konkreten Lösungsvorschlägen hinterlegen.
