For anyone who needs cheering up... here's Britain's smallest bird having a bath today in a woodland puddle. 😁😍🐦❤️

Die Abhängigkeit vom Russengas bestand weil wir Gebäude weiterhin am Liebsten mit Gas beheizen. Die grüne Energiewende will das ändern und Gegner der Energiewende wollen das verhindern.
Die Abhängigkeit vom Russengas war eine direkte Folge der grünen Energiewende Merkel trieb spätestens mit dem Ausstieg aus der Kernenergie 2011 eine Energiepolitik voran, die sich durch drei Punkte beschreiben lässt: - schrittweiser Ausstieg aus Kohle und Kernenergie - Ausbau von Wind- und Solarenergie - stärkere Nutzung von Erdgas – vor allem aus Russland Gas wurde beworben als "Brückentechnologie", da - deutlich geringere CO₂-Emissionen als Kohle - flexibler und schneller regelbar als Kohlekraftwerke - notwendig, um Schwankungen und Leerzeiten von Wind- und Solarstrom auszugleichen Obwohl von den Grünen auch schon vor 2022 immer wieder die Abhängigkeit von Russland kritisiert wurde, kam zu keinem Zeitpunkt ein praktikabler Vorschlag, wie man gleichzeitig aus Kohle, Öl und Kernkraft aussteigen soll, ohne einen quantitativen, verlässlichen Ersatz dafür zu haben.

The @DailyMail strikes again with EV sensationalism. Let me tackle the obvious points. The door latch, the dashboard are powered by a 12v battery (yes an EV has two batteries) that performs the same duties if EV or ICE. It’s unlikely that the cause of Mr Biggins issues were specific to the EV powertrain or the traction battery. Where electronic latches are provisioned, there is normally an override in case of airbag deployment and a mechanical override. In the case of the Fiat500 the inside emergency release is low down in the door trim/pocket area. Pull it and the door will open (there’s also an override from the outside) Finally, when a 12v battery is not charging, warnings will have been flashing on the dashboard in both EV or ICE configurations. Always take these seriously as they are not randomly triggered (it’s triggered by a voltage monitor). Automotive Engineers take these scenarios very seriously- we plan countermeasures to all sorts of unlikely occurrences in FTAs and FMEAs. The mechanical override is one of the resultant solutions. The cars operating manual is a wealth of useful information and everyone should read theirs (we spend a lot of man hours writing them!)

Happy Mother's Day to Mama Raven, who raised a healthy brood of five babies this spring! She's at right in photo with Papa Raven just before mating. Her work continues! I spotted two of the fledglings on a roof at 111th and Amsterdam this afternoon, begging for food. #birdcpp

As I have said a million times the moment the Ravens fly in first thing is my favourite moment of each day! Today Chips did some fancy manoeuvring! They were very greedy l today 😀 Just look at the shine on their feathers. It’s a joy to see them so well 🥰

More from Russell Crow. He’s gorgeous & knows it. I was informed he’s a raven. I think he’s a crow who likes to fluff himself up to be majestic #Crows

Meanwhile, a new industry emerges to tackle the issue. Once upon a time 12v car batteries were a major issue as recycling wasn’t available Currently we sell 500 million a year, about 9 million metric tonnes. Now they are considered one of the most recycled components on the planet with up to 99% of their components recycled, all this despite their toxic make up. Wind turbines. Companies like enva.com/ take these blades and transform them in to components to replace fossil fuel at ‘energy to waste’ plants that manufacture cement. This will happen worldwide as the need arises. Meanwhile, old farts like this would rather you stick to burning gas and coal. The good news is, the world ain’t listening anymore.

On January 1, 2026, the European wind industry implemented a self-imposed landfill ban on turbine blades. This has left many countries scrambling silently for solutions. Landfill has become the next unwanted crisis, yet it's the conversation no one wants to have. Germany, Finland, and the Netherlands have banned blade landfills, and so for a time they are being exported to countries like the UK or France, where they can still be buried. Banning waste like turbine blades doesn't make it vanish though—it just puts it on a truck to a neighbour's backyard. Low-scale solutions are often cited as the answer, like turning blades into noise barriers, bridges or playground equipment. How do you turn 43 million tons of blade waste from turbines into park benches and koala crossings? How many park benches does one planet actually need? Modern recycling for glass and carbon fibre often requires pyrolysis (high-heat chemical decomposition). To recycle a 'green' blade, you must burn an immense amount of energy to break down the resins. We are trading a physical waste problem for a new energy demand problem. People love a quirky solution that highlights the absurdity of the problem—like the image of a massive 80-metre blade being used as a single, very long bus shelter. Even 'green' solutions have a physical footprint that can't be wished away by a spreadsheet.
