What I'm trying to do with this Daily Brief is write about human rights in ways that we can all understand.
It's not intended for experts and activists (although, many of them have told me they like it, too).
Have a look at recent editions and tell me what you think:

“When confronted by such horrors [today], silence is unacceptable. Silence is complicity. To remain silent is to suggest nothing has been learned from the past.”

📘 546 pages.
🌍 More than 100 countries covered.

I wish more countries were like France and used reprocessed nuclear fuel. We have enough spent nuclear fuel to meet Earth's entire electrical needs for the next century.
@andrewstroehlein That graph may be the most optimistic overview of the situation I' ever seen considering most fossile energy are on decline and renewable are on the rise.
But it kinda contradict most of what I heard about fossil energy use being on constant rise despite renewable energy. Does it means that this kind of tendancy is EU-only and the rest of the world is going elswhere ?
(also I'm pretty sur EU is shitting the stats by importing the stuff they don't want to produce)
@simone_z @andrewstroehlein
i feel like im making a mistake taking this in good faith, but here goes:
1: so is everything else? europe isnt really known to be the largest manufacturing hub on the planet. this feels like just sinophobia to me.
2/3: first result from searching 'environmental impact of photovoltaic manufacturing': https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.143528
addendum: not all solar generation is photovoltaic; it's not in europe, but the SEGS facility is a great example of how it's possible to address the very quick electric demand changes on the grid using solar generation.
@Maeve_Lyn @andrewstroehlein Pretty similarly, tbh. Wind beat Gas for the first time last year, and we've barely used coal since the turn of the millennium.
(2025 looks a bit rough in the graph because it's still January)
Graph from https://grid.iamkate.com
Hydro, Wind and Solar growing.
Hydro needs massive study and redesign. Weather will never be the normal watervcyckecagain.
Continental dehydration, drought is growing, will grow, is a crisis. Not just for hydro but the widespread death of forests.
Build solar and wind as fast as China orvwe don't make it.
A fossil fuel phase out is necessary.
It will end some of the funding for far right political parties.
