Mission accomplished: roof insulation value R80, up from R20 and a decades-old leaky affair.

5 years in the making, feels good (and rather comfy¹)

Maintaining two set of infrastructure is expensive. “At what point might it make sense to abandon internal combustion engine entirely?”

@jwildeboer
they say we have twice as many renewables since the last gas crisis but that is just for electricity… keeping the current direction, this round of #fossilflation will be a whole different matter I am afraid

Countries that are not decarbonising to #NetZero as fast as possible are taking the route that is longer but worse.

Pretty much this:

«Reaching net zero would cost about £4bn a year, the CCC found, or close to £100bn by 2050, which was roughly equivalent to the energy-related costs of the fossil fuel shocks that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.»

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’

Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

Given the gravity of the situation, the latest episode of @TransitionShow came out very fast. What does losing 20 Mb/d of #oil and similarly of #gas mean? “We’re in deep uncharted territory.”

The damage to Persian Gulf oil and gas infrastructure and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has thrown the world into a global energy crisis.

Weil gerade Energiepreiskrise & #Fossilflation...

Im Klima-Sachstandsbericht #AAR2 haben wir nicht nur auf die hohen Risiken für 🇦🇹 durch die Folgen der #Erderhitzung hingewiesen, sondern auch auf die gesellschaftlichen & wirtschaftlichen Folgen der fossilen #Abhängigkeit.

Masivní inflace - zdražení všeho - v posledních letech je produktem rostoucí ceny fosilních paliv. #Fossilflation.

Americký antimonopolní úřad nyní navíc odhalil, že US producenti ropy se podíleli na kartelové dohodě se Saúdy. To je skutečná #konspirace, která je prý zodpovědná za více než 25 % celkové inflace v USA za rok 2021:

An Oil Price-Fixing Conspiracy Caused 27% of All Inflation Increases in 2021

The FTC just found evidence that American oil companies colluded with the Saudi government to hike gas prices, costing the average family $3,000 last year. The question is, what can we do about it?
