European natural gas prices keep on rising and have now more than doubled )+134%) in just four weeks from €29/MWh on 17 February to €67/MWh today. Geopolitical tensions and wars always drive up gas prices. That's not a bug in the system. It's a feature of fossil fuel dependence.

Perfect

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

Spain is has invested consistently in renewable energies in the last few years and this has drastically decreased the impact of the Iran oil crisis. ft.com/content/19f2ee… @financialtimes.com

I honestly hope the Iran blockage leads to increase investment in renewables and thus energy independence in Europe.

One thing this Iran operation should do is embarrass the hell out of Russia. In the opening minutes of the war, most of Iran’s leadership was dead, and their air defense was largely neutralized. Meanwhile, four years later, Zelenskyy still stands. There’s levels to this.

Energías renovables como estrategia de defensa ante las guerras

Trump argues in FT interview that “people who are the beneficiaries" of the Strait of Hormuz should help keep it open That's not a crazy point, until you remember why the Strait is closed in the first place. It wasn't Europe or Asia that did this. www.ft.com/content/1ca6...

One thing I will say about Iran´s parliament. The Islamic Consultative Assembly (consultative says a lot here) is that they have a maximum age of 75. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic...

Very lucky to be living on the peninsula these days. This doesnt even take into account co2 emissions per kwh.

‘Dnipropetrovsk oblast fully liberated as of today’ Can we focus on Ukraine a little more please? Against all the odds & Donald Trump Ukrainians are doggedly winning this war, inch by bloody inch! Ukraine matters more to us in Europe than Iran; let’s get our priorities right.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Renewable Energy is cheaper than oil. Renewable Energy is more securely available than oil.

Black smoke could be seen in Dubai’s financial district where witnesses reported hearing explosions on Friday morning. Authorities there said a building was hit by debris from an intercepted missile.

We need this in the EU also.

North America's 92% car trips aren't due to a preference for driving, but rather the direct result of zoning, parking mandates, and sprawl. True freedom means not being tied to a car. 🚗

Dear "I don't want to do tourist stuff, I want the local experience" people. ​The local Madrid experience is being crammed into Metro at 8am, working a 9-to-5, and spending half your paycheck on a tiny flat in Mostoles. ​You're a tourist. Go eat your calamari sandwich at Plaza Mayor and be happy.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

A classic

Things went downhill when the motor industry imposed on-street parking on everyone, and society accepted that drivers could litter the streets with their private property for free. Pedestrianise Cities.

The only winner tonight is the Voyager probe, that´s leaving us on this dusty planet.

Finally omg Bangkok has started removing overhead electrical cables, can't wait to see how much cleaner these streets feel without the visual clutter.

Americans: We have the most advanced country in the world. Also Americans:

You can just say things.

And to think he was overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

On LinkedIn, people are complaining that company profits aren't high enough when there's competition. Like, hello, the whole point is that consumers now get cheaper, better products! How is that bad for society?

Have to give credit to Delsey. There was an issue with my order and while not exactly straightforward they did eventually refund me.

Not too long until we have autonomous trains. Thought I would imagine this works better for commuter trains rather than long distance or high speed.

I feel like having quickshare on PC, tablet and phone means that I'm practically unlocked from any ecosystem.

Have finally deleted Temu and Amazon from my phone. Hopefully that will help with online shopping and setting a path to acquiring things in a more meaningful way.

Amen to this.

Excellent news.

This is the worst implementation of advertisment screens in public transport I have ever seen. It even hides the important info screen behind.

The Kimi AI is the enshittification of AI. It's an ad-filled fake persona that's pushing me to get its premium tier without even showing me why it would be worth it.

I'm getting marketed modern war defense weapons (large drone interference antennas) on social media. What a wild time to be alive.

Hey @glovo how come theres a service fee on top of the delivery fee and fee? Why are there 3 fees?

I wish Sony kept the XM4 headphones designed for the XM6. Why change what's not broken.
