Today i learned that 40% of cargo shipping is fuel.. They're carting oil and petrol and coal and coke around the planet burning fossil fuels to deliver more fossil fuels to people.

So once we switch to local renewables we won't need those 40%. The problem gets smaller.

Great news!
"For the first time, wind and solar power produced more of the EU’s electricity than fossil gas in 2022. Renewable energies were responsible for a record fifth (22%) of the bloc’s electricity. Hydropower dropped to its lowest share of electricity since at least 2000 due to a 1-in-500 year drought in summer which dried out the continent’s hydro reservoirs. The nuclear share also dipped significantly."

Senator Chris Murphy:

“You can't make this up.

Republicans added $4 TRILLION to the debt with their tax cut for corporations and billionaires.

Now, they are refusing allow Treasury to pay back the loans unless Congress agrees to cuts to Medicare and Social Security.”

@beladona and why the UK Tory "bonfire of the regulations" is so dangerous

Jim Parkin boosted

I am old enough to remember when our rivers were burning and smog enveloped our cities - the regulations were put into place for very valid reasons!

George Santos: I was definitely never a drag queen. But when I was a drag queen, I won “sevral GAY ‘BEAUTY PAGENTS.’”

Which raises a question. The Republican leadership has no problem with his being a con artist, serial liar, embezzler, and international fugitive serving in Congress under an assumed name. Will the drag queen thing be a dealbreaker?
