Yeah, fuck that

Fuck any country in Europe still stuck on #oil and #gas

Fuck bigot Americans in giant low fuel economy pickup trucks whining

Fuck you India, Fuck you China

Fuck you all

All countries:

Get the fuck off oil and gas. Period. End of story

Addressing the #climatecrisis and defunding vile regimes is job #1

#Zelensky:

Pulverize #Russia's #energy sector to oblivion

Zelensky says allies asked him to scale back attacks on Russian energy

Ukraine's president says partners asked if the attacks could be "reduced" as prices soar due to the Iran war.

Ukraine is leading the way on freedom from fossil fuel fascism...

Excellent! Keep hitting Russia's oil infrastructure until Ukraine is whole again.

Russia was expecting a windfall from soaring oil prices, but relentless Ukrainian drone attacks are devastating nearly half its export capacity

Ukraine launched a series of drone attacks on Russia's top export hubs, including Novorossiysk on the Black Sea as well as Primorsk and Ust-Luga on the Baltic Sea.

Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.

Uruguay’s Renewable Charge: A Small Nation, A Big Lesson For The World

Uruguay built a power grid that runs 99% on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. Here’s how its bold energy overhaul became a global model.

@roblosricos @Npars01 @benroyce Good for them, but here is the big 80-point asterisk. Renewables are cheaper if you do not have any fossil fuels. Which the article points out, they don't.

For Russia or the USA, not so much.

We should still be putting solar on everything flat, just because it's silly not to at this point.

@mike805 @roblosricos @Npars01 @benroyce

There are a few asterisks. Uruguay's peak demand is below 2GW. They've about 1.5GW of hydro capacity. They've added some 1.6GW of biomass capacity which they use to generate about .3GW baseline – this in itself brings extra questions.
And about 1.5GW of wind capacity which they use to supplement hydro.

During peaks they still use oil power, like right at this moment.

In the region there's for example Paraguay that uses virtually pure hydro.
