Brilliant to see this historic moment - and hopefully also a step towards more renewable energy in Europe.

Good news for the climate anyway.

Change in Paris air quality between 2007 and 2023 using visuals

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.

"we all have the same 24 hours". Sure babe but some of us spend 12 of those hours puking and the other 12 hours recovering from puking.

(S+) Klimapolitik: Mannheim plant Stilllegung des Gasnetzes - Hunderte Bürger mit neuen Gasheizungen in der Klemme Mannheim will als erste deutsche Großstadt bis 2035 sein Gasnetz stilllegen. Hunderte Bürger haben gerade noch neue Gasheizungen einbauen lassen. Nun wÀchst der Zorn.

Hundreds of households believed the bedtime stories by politicians and parts of the gas industry that hydrogen will replace fossil gas.

They now find themselves with a stranded asset in form of a new gas boiler as cities start winding down the gas grid.
