Am Montag letzte Woche, dem 30.06.2025, war der 31. Todestag von Halim Dener — er wurde im Alter von 16 Jahren von einem Polizisten in Hannover erschossen, nachdem er Plakate einer PKK :PKK: nahen Organisation am Steintorplatz aufgehangen hat.

Combined wind and solar generation grew by just half that total, 649 TWh. The gap between the two, 644 TWh, was filled by 1) nuclear and hydro generation grew by a combined 272 TWh -unreliable growth technologies. Meanwhile, 2) coal generation continued to grow, by 152 TWh.>>
