Can anyone imagine his current successor speaking such a polite language, even just for a minute? And I guess if somebody would make a survey among MAGAs to ask when they think America was great, Ike's era might get a good share of votes...

👉 A coherent strategy that integrates these elements can cut costs, strengthen resilience, drive decarbonisation, and underpin open strategic autonomy

👉Achieving these goals affordably requires EU-wide infrastructure planning, smart use of green molecules where they are most needed, stronger circularity, and a massive expansion of domestic renewables and energy storage capacities.
5/7

👉 As the #energytransition advances, the core energy security issues shift to power system stability, cybersecurity and industrial resilience.
👉 Unlike fossil fuel supply security, the EU can meet these goals largely through domestic policies.
4/7

👉The EU spent € 1.3 trillions on fossil fuel imports in just three years (2022-24). Thereby funding foreign, and often adversarial, actors.
👉A renewables-based system built on domestic capital stock is inherently more resilient than the legacy system reliant on fossil fuel imports.
3/7

❗Key takeaway: decarbonisation and energy security reinforce each other, if Europe adopts a forward-looking, adaptive strategy.
👉The EU should rethink energy security in light of increasingly renewable, decentralised and electrified energy systems.

WHO-Statistik 2019: Alkoholverbrauch in 🇮🇹 8 lt/; 🇩🇪 13,4 (67% mehr!); 🇨🇵12,6; 🇵🇱 11,6; in UK 11,4. Das Verhältnis Wein/Bier ist in 🇮🇹 besser. Bei Ihren Schwiegereltern mag die nette Schwiegertochter den wissensch. unbestreitbaren Alkoholschaden ausgeglichen haben. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

the recent drop in the share of collected data appears "just" 3-4 times larger than the temporarily drop in March 2020. What event could have caused the latter 🤔? Could be a rough benchmark for how bad the current administration is

100% richtig, dass Feminismus ein essentieller Beitrag zu Demokratie ist! Warum nicht auch Aktivismus? Nur AKTIVE Demokrat*innen können unsere Demokratie vor dem wohl hyperaktiven Angriff ihrer Feinde retten.

Very good points. Just note that nearly all these arguments work even without the global/international dimension. Think of power grids, a smartphone, life-saving health technologies, all infrastructure that makes life in any small.or large city possible. No US state can survive without experts.

Do you know simple answers that can realistically work for >8bn people without need for complex systems?

Another sign that we are witnessing a tragedy of epical proportions
