Hace unos días di una charla en la Universidad de Valencia en la que tocaba varios aspectos geopolíticos de la transición energética. Creo que hay un par de ideas que sirven muy bien de resumen sobre dónde estamos ahora que cerramos 2025.

THREAD. My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments. I've collected his work here...

Izquierda: La revista @science.org diciendo que el imparable crecimiento de las renovables es el avance científico del año. Derecha: el REI del apocalipsis diciendo que el sector renovable se está hundiendo y que las renovables no funcionan. Equivocarse siempre y en todo, nivel dios de dioses.

This is just one part of the larger 'bonfire of the climate laws' that is being undertaken by the EU right now. There are multiple reasons this is happening.
