Not everything has to do with trump, dawg.

No, however he is actively torpedoing efforts to implement clean energy on a world scale, so this comment is 100% appropriate for this thread, dawg.

And actively promoting coal.

It’s funny that he loves oil but at the same time made people think world wide that renewables are actually pretty good in times of crisis and wars.

Also funny that destroying our planet does not freak out many people even if we, well, need it for living and such trivial stuff, but the moment gas costs 10 cent more people switch their thinking.

Sometimes I wonder how we even made it through history and did not die out yet.

This is awesome to hear! Little glimpses of hope, as impossible as they may seem, are still welcome.

Last weekend in Germany the spot market for electric hit a record negative price. Yup, electricity was so abundant you could get paid €0.40/kWh.
