German renewable energy shift slowed in 2025
The share of renewables in German power production almost stagnated in 2025, data showed Monday, as concerns grow about a shift away from green policies under conservative Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

Germany, France, Netherlands curtail 3.9 TWh of renewables in 2025
Analysis by energy advisory service Montel finds Germany, France and the Netherlands all saw record levels of renewables curtailment last year, with the build out of solar in each market contributing to midday generation peaks and consequential price cannibalization.

Everything you’re fine with Israel, the United States, Germany, and the UK doing to Gaza and Palestinians today is what they’re going to be doing to you tomorrow.
(In case that makes you care if nothing else does.)

Honoured to share that my research on the destructive side of “creative destruction” keeps on rockin! 🎉 #Germany is about to give China the heat pump market. The solar panel story? On repeat. #Wärmepumpe.

Wow, man, imagine being the kind of person that suspends anyone he sees from Gaza during a genocide.
The inhumanity of some Germans is really quite remarkable. Didn’t you get enough of genocide the first time around?

Germany's coastal regions brace for change, fearing rising sea levels
Standing on the coast and looking out to sea, you cannot detect the changes with the naked eye. But in northern Germany, sea levels are rising, as is the risk of flooding for the lower-lying coastal regions.

In Germany, genocide denial is a crime.
Unless it’s genocide against Palestinians.
How can that be? Easy. Because they don’t see Palestinians as human beings.
Why? Because they are racist fucks.
(And because they profit from the genocide as the world’s #2 arms dealer to Israel after the US.)
Makes me sick to my stomach. Gotta love those “European values” eh?

How cold is it outside?
This is our #refrigerator for 3 weeks: Just leaving things outside on the balcony, under a very warm blanket.🥶
In fact, it got so cold in the last few days that we had to bring things back indoors so they don't freeze too much.🥶🥶

This explains something.
My father's side of the family are notably understated in their spoken opinions, a trait I inherited. It's not just English stoicism—my grandfather on that side was born in England, and my grandmother came from the South Downs, then a very English part of QLD—but even more so. A couple of generations farther back, though, the male line crossed the sea from #Germany

"Germany adds 6.57 GWh of battery storage in 2025, total hits 24 GWh"

Germany adds 6.57 GWh of battery storage in 2025, total hits 24 GWh
Germany added an estimated 6.57 GWh of stationary battery storage capacity in 2025, an increase of about 8% year on year, lifting total installed capacity to roughly 24 GWh. Growth was driven by industrial and large-scale systems, even as home storage installations declined alongside weaker rooftop solar demand.

Sunday: 2°C outside (felt like -1) and figured it was a good time for a hike in the woods, hills, and fields of #Bavaria on a trail I've been eyeing for a couple of years now. Muddy trails for about half the distance but easily negotiated.🚶‍♂️🌲
Would've liked if the walk was longer but 10.7kms felt good, especially after a 2-month break in any such activity.
