Alright so #AusPol elections are coming and it's time for the #ElectionWishlist

* No new #FossilFuel projects (and since this failed last time, now we'll have to shut down the ones approved since then, too)
* Timeline for banning the sale of non-#EVs (5 years max); tax size and weight
* Clean indoor air regulations (works for #COVID, #influenza, #measles, and a bunch of other stuff)
* #GreenhouseEmissions tax and/or labelling on food
* Laws for truth in political advertising

Houston awarded $2 million federal grant to improve energy efficiency at municipal buildings

The U.S. Department of Energy is giving Houston money to install solar panels and battery storage at a community-serving city facility in a disadvantaged part of town, among other initiatives tied to the city's Climate Action Plan adopted in 2020 under then-Mayor Sylvester Turner.

20 Minuten warten auf Bus Richtung Wien Heiligenstadt auf Kierlinger Straße in Klosterneuburg. Reger PKW Verkehr in beide Richtungen, zwischen 80 und 90% der Autos nur mit Fahrer besetzt, zumindest 1/3 SUVs, kaum LKWS.
Zwischen Heiligenstadt und Maria Gugging gibt es halbstündlichen Bus, zwischen Heiligenstadt und Tulln eben so oft Zug.
Ich habe kein Elektroauto gesehen.

There seems to be a lot of talk in Germany about E-fuels, but honestly, I've never seen a single thing written about them in the anglosphere. Is this even remotely a thing that will happen in the next few years? #EFuels #cars #transport #FossilFuels #GreenhouseEmissions #sustainability

What is the lowest-carbon protein?

Finding protein-rich foods that are good for the climate can be complex. Isabelle Gerretsen digs into the data to understand which food choices can help us curb emissions.

To give an impression in the historic context, what a challenge the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions means, here a closer look to Germany.

Sandbag.org.uk reports also:
"Climate policies already agreed by the European Union and Member States are already on track to deliver 50% GHG reduction by 2030. This means the new “business as usual” ambition now to be discussed should be at least 50%."
"Emissions are currently much lower than the cap. We estimate that 2018 emissions are already 11% below the current 2018 cap level. Under the scenarios in this report … shown in chart 7."
