This is INSANE:
Seven Chinese solar companies most people haven’t heard of are ALREADY providing more energy for the global economy than Exxon, Chevron, Shell, BP and the other Seven Sisters who once dominated oil production:

Our new @IEA report finds that that clean energy transitions are cheaper than the path we are currently on. How could this be? Surely sticking with fossil fuels is cheaper than buying fancy new kit like EVs and heat pumps…right? Nope. Let’s get into it.

Trafikken på kraftkablene er forskjellig! Mens kabel til England og Nederland er mest eksport, er Danmark og Tysklandskabel mer balansert, da de har mye sol og vind, og oftere kraftoverskudd. Nå når alle bygger mer fornybart vil det bli stadig mer norsk import.

Polen har tatt imot over dobbelt så mange flyktninger som oss i forhold til folketallet, og har hatt over 10 ganger større utgifter til ukrainske flyktninger i forhold til BNP. Våkn opp til virkeligheten.
