Iran war energy crisis is a renewable energy wake-up call

The Iran war is exposing how much the global economy still depends on fragile fossil fuel supplies. The conflict has virtually choked off the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane for a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas. That's shaking up markets and pushing prices higher. Countries reliant on imported fossil fuels — from wealthy industrial economies to poorer developing nations — are facing major disruptions that can quickly ripple through utility bills, food prices, transport costs and electrical grids. Analysts say the crisis is a stark reminder that energy security is not just about stockpiles and shipping, but also about the lagging transition to renewable energy.

Too many men think "civilization" is the power to blow stuff up instead of the power to make a safe, clean, and bright world for everyone.

Please don't boost genAI slop into people's timelines...even for jokes.

In fact, given there's no algorithm here, it's better to boost people who are engaged with the community and actually thoughtful and creating their own work than to boost posts of people who scrape images from "viral" places, not even bothering to give attribution.

Keep the Fediverse Bootiful.

Nach mehr als einem Jahr muss ich eingestehen: Mein Versuch, auf #X Gegenpositionen gegen die algorithmisch verstärkten rechtsextremen Inhalte aufzubauen, ist gescheitert. Kritische oder sachliche Beiträge werden an einen winzigen Bruchteil meiner Follower ausgespielt. So haben sie eine lächerlich geringe Reichweite. X ist ein Verstärkermedium für rassistische und sonstige Hassmails und keine Plattform für ernsthafte Diskussion und Informationsaustausch
