The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one.

The unilateral decision by the US to lift sanctions on Russian oil exports is very concerning, as it impacts European security.
Increasing economic pressure on Russia is decisive for it to accept a serious negotiation for a just and lasting peace.
“What I think is actually important for everybody to understand is that the US has been very clear that they want to divide Europe. They don’t like the European Union” @kajakallas.bsky.social told @financialtimes.com. “This is a very complicated relationship we are having"

Toda la energía eólica y solar que hemos implementado nos está protegiendo de los precios disparados del gas fósil (aunque no te lo parezca). Imagínate como sería la factura si fuéramos 100% independientes y soberanos energéticamente con energías renovables.

El problema de la transición energética no es un problema económico ni un problema tecnológico.
El problema es de inercias, de resistencia al cambio y de intereses creados. El problema es de convicción social, de enfrentar lo que nos impide hacer lo correcto. Ahí reside el reto.
The UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine has concluded the the deportation and forcible transfer of Ukrainian children by Russian authorities, as well as enforced disappearances, amount to crimes against humanity.

Former US amb to Israel: "Trump needs to find an off-ramp … The costs to the US, its partners, and the world are rising fast. Failing to find an imperfect off-ramp now, may lead to the utter absence of any available exit later when the costs are much higher & expansive goals are still unattainable.”
Importante contribución de Domènec Ruiz Devesa. Apunta que puede ser una oportunidad estratégica para la UE e intuyo que sugiere que España recoja el guante

Esto es así. Necesitamos urgentemente que la derecha abrace la descarbonización desde el paradigma de la soberanía nacional y la seguridad (por motivos climáticos no lo harán), y es en situaciones de guerra internacional cuando la ventana de oportunidad para este giro está abierta. Aprovechemoslo.
