As I have told multiple reporters over the past month, Washington can put up the beacon and bring everyone to town, but getting them to commit to a US-centered scheme is a much tougher climb.

And now we’re starting to see cracks within the G7.

BYD just killed your EV argument with a battery that competes with gas engines The Chinese carmaker's new batteries feature a 5-minute charge and 621-mile range, plus a 620,000-mile lifespan and lower prices.

It feels like we get new announcements like this -- more range, more speed, more features, and lower costs -- every few weeks from EV makers.

From conventional automakers? Crickets.

Iran's FM condemns US attack on Qeshm's freshwater desalination plant, warns of grave consequences US President Donald Trump announced that Iran promised not to attack its neighbours anymore

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

Things are pretty bad on broadcast TV when the highlight of the week is a Twilight Zone episode first broadcast in the 1960s.

Diplomacy instead of wanton violence. Why is this such a controversial perspective?

Anyone who has a sign up saying β€œno” to solar power projects or who is concerned about renewables altering the β€œcharacter” of farmland or countryside should understand that this is the alternative. Our energy infrastructures impact landscapes. Solar and wind are by far the better design options.

But unless you sail, have sail assistance, electric propulsion, solar powered, the ship produces more emissions.

The Disinformation Machine Behind Czech and Slovak Anti-Wind Farm Campaigns - VSquare.org Leading politicians from Andrej BabiΕ‘'s government are attacking wind turbines, and the movement against them is gaining ground throughout the Czech Republic. But surprising help is coming from Slovakia, and specifically from a yogi with a passion for Eastern spirituality and Slavic culture.

Czech politicians are attacking wind turbines β€” and getting surprising help from Slovakia. A yogi with a passion for Eastern spirituality is "exporting" anti-turbine disinformation across the border, as the movement gains ground throughout the Czech Republic.

Looks very fake to me, place the audio happens to be very English.

1. Very strange looking oil terminal.
2. The width of the containers are not consistent.
3. The containers are in a very strange place, metres from residential flats.
4. The shadows across the road make no sense.

More Patriot missiles used in Middle East in 3 days than in Ukraine since 2022, Zelensky says President Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated that Ukraine is ready to provide drone interceptors in exchange for missiles, though he did not specify which countries could be involved.

This is a fucking travesty.

β€œIn just three days of fighting in the Middle East, more than 800 Patriot missiles were used β€” more than Ukraine has received throughout the entire Russian full-scale invasion.”

(A year’s worth of production or more, btw)
