Die Bundesregierung muss Antworten auf die Energiekrise finden, die mit einem geschrumpften Angebot fossiler Energien umgehen - und dabei die Klimaziele nicht vergessen. Im @taz.de Interview (siehe 👇) mache ich Vorschläge dazu, wie das ginge. Danke fuer die guten Fragen @jonaswaack.bsky.social

www.theguardian.com/environment/... New study: "BECCS [using forest wood] is unlikely to generate negative emissions within 150 years, is likely to produce higher emissions for decades than using natural gas without carbon capture and is likely to increase electricity costs by ~3.5-fold." #BECCS

Can we finally agree that burning wood for energy is a terrible idea and won't be carbon neutral, let alone carbon negative, in our lifetimes? BECCS using wood certainly shouldn't qualify as CO₂ removal (CDR).

1 yr ago I wrote a massive thread on @iea.org huge AI / energy report. WELL it's one year later and they've released an update, but notably, there is no chatbot. Well....I'm going to read it anyway, and you're all going to get spammed with notes :) that's means a NEW ULTRATHREAD 🧵

My working paper with @rodrikdani has now been published in Industrial and Corporate Change. It explores the conditionalities—profit-sharing, reinvestment requirements, knowledge transfer—that can ensure industrial policy delivers public value, not just private wealth.

every crisis intensifies distributional struggles - fossil capital already hiking prices a la @isabellamweber.bsky.social if we are not careful, this crisis too will mean gigantic distributional gains for capitalists, via higher public debt that will strangle our collective ability to transform

the juxtaposition of crude prices (white, Brent) and the S&P 500 (blue) last week is a great snapshot of the current macro moment

Trotz massiver Proteste hat die Berliner Koalition aus CDU und SPD in Windeseile eine Reform des Informationsfreiheitsgesetzes durchgedrückt. Expert*innen sehen darin eine Schwächung demokratischer Kontrolle. Auch dem Schutz kritischer Infrastruktur diene es nicht.

Mehrwertsteuer sei eine "Vermögenssteuer durch die Hintertür" ist das unverschämteste was ich heute gelesen habe.

Israel admits to purposefully targeting journalists in Lebanon for death. Then conducting a double kill strike by killing the paramedics who went in to care for the journalists. Israel has already killed 51 paramedics in Lebanon. It is Gaza-style terror all over again.

Trump: "The environmentalists are terrorists. I call them the environmental terrorists."

#Libanon: 63 Gesundheitseinrichtungen wurden angegriffen, 40 Gesundheitsmitarbeitende getötet und 91 verletzt. Krankenhäuser mussten evakuiert werden und mehr als 54 Zentren für Basisgesundheitsversorgung schließen (Quelle: WHO, Stand 23.3.26). Wir machen uns Sorgen um die Menschen. ⬇️

This was a video from 2024 after Israel targeted Fatima Fatouni in southern Lebanon. Today Israel murdered her while she was reporting on Israel’s crimes.

Israel deliberately killed the journalists in a strike on South Lebanon; journalists Fatima Fatouni and Ali Shoeib were martyred in this treacherous raid. Heartbroken beyond words. And make no mistake that this was a deliberate, targeted assassination of journalists. A war crime.

"Wood is the ultimate sustainable material." Not if it's based on vast deadzones, as Ireland's ecocidal forestry industry is.

At this point we can only conclude that the German growth model deserves its inevitable oblivion.

Interesting but it could be mistakenly read as if GEO Engineering or CCS were actual and even unique options. They are not. They are traps. Locking in emissions and perpetuating fossil fuels.

2of2: … no mainstream media scrutiny & little public backing from experts for the level of cuts aligned with the evidence. Worse, a convenient myth persists that “technology” will save us on time. Hubris from some, dishonesty by others & silence from many & climate change continues to get sidelined.
