🇸🇪 election day today and the polls spread b/w the right and left blocs is within margin of error. The governing right coalition (Tidö) is supported by far right SD. The PM has pledged to bring the party into a formal majority government if right bloc wins. What does this mean for energy/climate?

This is what abdication of responsibility and avoiding accountability looks like. Broken, unjust governance means more lock-in to a broken system that benefits the few, for a little while, to the detriment of the many, for a long time.

I learned a new phrase when I moved to Dublin. ‘To get doored’: when a person inside a parked vehicle opens their door and knocks down a passing cyclist. It happens often enough to warrant a specific phrase… Drivers, check your mirrors. Cyclists, give parked vehicles a wide berth. #Cyling #Dublin

Thanks for this thread, very interesting. For a short-term measure, saving the fuel from short haul flights may be the best policy/political option if there are other transport options available (trains e.g.) - saving that 6% may be all that’s possible for now, and is that not better than nothing?

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across. If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers. If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

They've done it again, they've cut more rail projects. The most criminal one for me is cancelling the reopening of the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare line. On the left is the All-island Rail Review published by the last government and on the right is the plan published today.

Current empirical evidence does not support optimism on climate action. We can, maybe should, maintain hope - hope for change - as long as that hope drives more and faster action.

I am disappointed with the handling by Prime Time of this presidential debate. We have learned very little about either candidate’s plans and vision for the presidency. Someone tuning in for the first time will only hear about their pasts, nearly nothing about their vision for the future. #Aras25
