Mid-winter, there is usually quite some wind. See the graph in the link.

There are challenging moments, though. But storage for weeks, not months, might be robust enough.

Well, there is something to it, and I think we talk about different parties.

Moderaterna, who have the PM, are just classic libs (though there is the true neoliberal Liberalerna in the ruling coalition as well). They are in the EPP, for those who follow European politics. Their program is, tbh, like that of the Democrats under Biden and Kamala. This is where the minister comes from. I think you mean them.

Now, to get a majority in the government, Moderaterna (and two other parties) made a deal (Tidö avtalet) with Sverigedemokraterna. They are not in the government, but the government made an agreement with Sverigedemokraterna, vowing to implement some of their program in exchange for their support in the parliament. I call them far-right. They are in the ECR (European Conservatives and Reformists) in the European Parliament. Their main thing is being against migration. Generally, you could compare them to Trump vol. 1.

I understand why others might think this is not far right. I come from Poland, the two largest parties come from EPP and ECR, and they are followed by even further right. Similarly, Sverigedemokraterna is not as far right as, for example, AfD in Germany. Or as Trump vol. 2. But others going even crazier does not exclude Sverigedemokraterna from the far-right.

Swedish government be like:

Officially endorse far-right party

Push xenophobic agenda

A mentally sick person organizes the largest school shooting in the country, targeting specifically migrants >

Youth joins far-right groups

That includes a son of a ministry working on how to deport as many migrants as possible, making visa process as painful as possible, even for high-skill workers

But WHY?!!?

“Gains in South America and Europe more than compensated for the expected declines in China and North America,” said Marco Schubert, member of the extended VW Group Management Board.

In Germany, Volkswagen is a market leader with almost every second new electric car registered in Germany in the first half of the year from the company.

Good to see some institutions reminding that the war did not start in 2022…

Surely not alone ;)

I still think Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok are good places to promote. This is where you reach people who do not Buy European yet nor do they use Fedi.

It would be nice if she would cross-post to PeerTube from now on, though.

• I am not really in the influencer culture either, but that I wouldn’t take that up as my fight, let people watch what they like ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hasn’t Italy already been locking migrants in Albania for more than a year now…

Yes. European countries were among the early adopters and developers of wind and solar. Now, renewables have become the most affordable option. But, for ideological reasons, many European countries no longer want to deploy renewables, despite their affordability.

We sowed the seeds but do not want to reap the rewards.
