Historians and political scientists will undoubtedly spend the 2030's discussing a new breed of heads of state described as @ImmatureIndividual "Stubb's pragmatic and strategic handling of Trump, likening it to managing an immature individual while quietly […] [Original post on mastodon.energy]

The conversation explores various perspectives on Finnish President Alexander Stubb's approach to international politics, particularly in relation to former U.S. President Donald Trump. Participants in this discussion highlight Stubb's pragmatic and strategic handling of Trump, likening it to managing an immature individual while quietly advancing Finland's interests. There is admiration for Stubb's intelligence and realism, with some commenters noting Finland's robust defense strategy and historical awareness of Russia's aggressive tendencies

Even the traditionally pro-nuclear Finnish media appears to finally comprehend that nuclear power is prohibitively expensive. yle.fi/a/74-20245890

This could spell trouble to Finnish nuclear startup Steady Energy and their heat-only small modular reactor. Their most likely first customer, the Helsinki energy utility Helen, seems to prefer producing both heat and power. Other interested customers […] [Original post on mastodon.energy]

Article in Kauppalehti, where Helen CEO appears to prefer SMR designs tha produce both heat and power. That would yield two income streams instead of just one

The Finnish government demands a 1000‑meter buffer for wind turbines because they “ruin the view.” Meanwhile, clear‑cutting thriving forests into moonscapes just a few meters from existing homes is approved, encouraged, and subsidized. If this is environmental policy, it’s upside down.

#Electrification is a shield against chaos. When nations rely on imported #fossilFuels, they gamble with public stability. Kenya shows how quickly frustration can ignite when people are trapped in a fuel‑dependent system with no alternatives […] [Original post on mastodon.energy]

The U2 underground rail line in #Nürnberg celebrates 25 years anniversary. It took 3 years to build the automatic driverless metro line 1996-1999 and service is extremely fast, convenient, reliable and frequent. How sad that 20 years later the #Länsimetro […] [Original post on mastodon.energy]

The editorial board of the New York Times could not be more explicit and clear. If this message doesn't help, democracy has a serious weakness.

Nice garden table! How quickly does it pay back? Might sound like a silly question today. But I expect we'll see a lot of creativity in the next few years how solar panels can be integrated in almost any surface that is exposed to sunlight.

It seems that Chinese electric vehicles are not only cheaper but also technically more advanced than European/German EVs since they often enable #bidirectionalCharging. It would be short sighted and against free market principles to limit imports that are […] [Original post on mastodon.energy]

Fun Fact: The terminated #Fennovoima #nuclear project has cost 1,4 billion €, and will never produce electricity. Taxpayers are likely to pick up the bill. Future litigation might add to cost. In comparison, the #FeedInTariff for #WindPower has cost […] [Original post on mastodon.energy]

Some suppliers offer larger packages of up to 2000Wp of nameplate PV capacity as #Balkonsolar units. Perhaps the 800W limit only considers instantaneous feed in power, so limiting the inverter to 800W or adding a 3.2kWh battery to absorb any power exceeding […] [Original post on mastodon.energy]
