Got the official power numbers from my utility for the April billing cycle.
3572 kWh imported from grid, 200 kWh overproduction exported, for net 3372 kWh consumed/billed.
That is an all-time record for lowest power consumption (at least back to January 2024 which is the oldest bill I have easy access to).
Too bad it's also an all-time *high* for price per kWh - the effective price per kWh after taxes and fees hit 21.7 cents, a 15.4% increase since the start of the year…

Firehorse superstition helps uncover why women's education may not drive Japan's fertility decline
The rapidly declining marriage and fertility rates across developed East Asian societies strain pension and health care systems, threaten economic growth, and reshape entire societies. To tackle this issue, governments in Japan and across East Asia have invested heavily in pronatalist measures, but often with limited success. For instance, Japan's government has repeatedly expanded childcare subsidies and parental leave provisions, yet the total fertility rate hit a record low of 1.20 in 2024.

Disappointing growth in EU biomethane production, growing by 'only' 12% from 'gas year' (Oct-Sep) 2023/24 to 2024/2025.
5 years to go to the REpowerEU target of 350 TWh; that would now require a 52% compound annual growth rate.
Tall order, but today's news shows how important it is to accelerate!

Da sage eins, die Politik der BRD-Sozialdemokratie habe keine nachhaltige Wirkung: Der Schriftsteller Ken Merten, dessen in Rojava spielenden Roman "Ich glaube jetzt, dass das die Lösung ist" (XS-Verlag 2024, ISBN 978-3-944503-21-9) ich letztes Jahr sehr gerne gelesen habe, soll auf Grundlage des "Radikalenerlass" von 1972 an der Ausübung seines Brotberufs (Nachwächter in sozialen Einrichtungen) gehindert werden; Grund: Mitgliedschaft in der "DKB" {sic!}:
