Just to fully underline how spiteful this shit is for those unaware: On the left is the route the Orange Order have been ordered to take for the past 3 decades without trouble. On the right is the route that has brought hundreds of cops to Drumcree. The only motivation is sectarian antagonism.

Ireland has introduced a *200 MWh CO₂ battery system*, showcasing a new approach. When green electricity is abundant, CO₂ is compressed and stored. At high demand, the gas expands through turbines to generate electricity, helping stabilize the grid. #batteries #energystorage #ActOnClimate

Good morning! Jeffrey Donaldson's trial begins today. Please resist the urge to see this as a trial of his party or of his politics, it is about the victims.

Rep. Thomas Massie has conceded. Republican voters have rejected the member of their own party most responsible for forcing the vote to release the Epstein files. All because Trump, a man named in the Epstein files thousands of times, didn't want them released. That says a lot. None of it good.

France is mandating solar panels on every large commercial car park in the country — turning millions of square metres of idle asphalt into one of Europe's most productive clean energy assets. I have been mentioning this for months - they are shooting up on all the supermarket car parks.

Today's electricity production in Denmark is a total reversal from yesterday. Yesterday it was solar predominantly. Today it's wind. So good to have both Right now Denmark exports 2,5GW to our neighbours. CO2 emissions per kWh produced is only 11 grams. Amazing.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.
