This article just cited the Finnish Michaux study. There are others. The whole "industrial renewable energy capture systems" wager has inadequate foundations, which is why the only way is to use much less energy. Hence #degrowth See my article and linked report for the UK case.

Is There Enough Metal to Replace Oil?
A key issue for the accomplishment of renewables is power storage because of the impact of wind and solar intermittency, both of which are highly intermittent. Most studies assume gas will be the buffer for intermittency. Other than using fossil fuel such as gas as a buffer, an adequate power storage system to handle intermittency will require 30 times more material than what electric vehicles require with current plans, meaning the scope is much larger than the current paradigm allows.

Ever more gas-free homes
An increasing number of homes in the Netherlands are heated without the use of natural gas. In 2024, 11.2 percent of homes were fully gas-free, up from 8.7 percent in 2022. These homes are usually heated using a heat pump or are connected to a collective district heating system. This means they do not require a gas-fired boiler. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this on the basis of newly released figures.

Afronding winddeel actie
Begin 2022 was ik kandidaat-raadslid voor GroenLinks en heb ik het initiatief genomen om samen met een aantal andere kandidaat-raadsleden meerdere winddelen bij De Windcentrale aan te schaffen. De opbrengst van de winddelen was bedoeld voor de Energiebank Schiedam. Zij zijn inmiddels gestopt, waardoor ik voor de opbrengst van 2023 grotendeels aan een vergelijkbaar doel geschonken. Want de afspraak met…

Eating more but growing less: Stagnant Philippine farms linked to widening rice gap
As of 2022 alone, Filipinos were eating 2.3 million metric tons more rice than the country produced—an 18% shortfall that has locked the Philippines into deeper dependence on imported rice despite years of government programs to boost local harvests.

„Geändert hat sich auch das Meinungsbild dazu, ob ‚wir in Zukunft mehr Wirtschaftswachstum brauchen, auch wenn das die Umwelt belastet‘. Eine große Mehrheit der Befragten (66 Prozent) widersprach dieser Aussage zuletzt. Aber der Anteil jener, die Wirtschaftswachstum notfalls vor Umweltschutz stellen, hat sich seit 2022 um neun Prozentpunkte erhöht.“

While I am struggling to find any detailed media reports about the current situation in #Venezuela, the Fediverse is already certain that the U.S. has invaded the country “just like russia” did with Ukraine. Would we not have seen an invasion force being built up (like the russian one before 24 February 2022)? 🤔
