"'Biofuels are responsible globally for 16% more CO2 emissions than the fossil fuels they replace due to the indirect impacts of farming & deforestation'

3,000 litres of water are needed to drive 100km on biofuels

Solar panels cd create as much energy as biofuels while using just 3% as much land."

"Are you going to do the exercises?"

Detection of intoxicated drivers in the USA is a joke.

Just breathalyse him and have done with it.

Stop playing silly games with people's lives. The roads are dangerous enough as things stand.

Curious messaging here.

It seems we are to believe that if a random driver doesn't generously decide to let you cross the road, it might be because you're not dressed appropriately.

@matthewwollin.bsky.social Most people aren't lawyers, as you say.

How do average citizens recognise a transformative ("watershed") SCOTUS decision that respects precedent vs one that disregards it?

What distinguishes legitimate reinterpretation of outdated principles from historical rewriting?

Because, as the presenter referenced when framing the question, the Irish constitution explicitly gives 'god' a central role not just in the presidency but in the nature of the State itself.

We need a whole range of interventions, including safe segregated spaces, speed limit reductions in urban zones, restraints on car use & traffic calming.

Some policymakers may be 'avid cyclists' in their leisure time, but their transport policies are failing, demonstrably.

Local authorities to implement 30km/h speed limits in urban areas ‘where appropriate’ from 2027 Speed limits on roads in built-up and urban areas can only be changed where a majority of the elected members in a local authority vote to do so.

This delay and the dilution of language to “where appropriate” are not harmless compromises. They will cost lives.

And all for what? To satisfy Putin's "Novorossiya" fantasy?
