A lot of BS being hurled around here when it comes to #UBI - handing #money is not the only way. Provide basic #housing #healthcare #transportation #education #food #water #energy for free and pay for it with #tax on #income #wealth #inheritance that is steeply #progressive

After that one can assess the need for actually handing out #cash

https://www.europesays.com/2631645/ EV sales are up everywhere in the world — except North America. EV sales rose globally by 21%, but declined 1% in North America this year following Trump policy changes, tariffs, and the end of the EV tax credit. China leads with 11.6 million EVs sold. US automakers have been sounding alarm bells. #Energy

Only the nerdiest #energy nerds among you will be excited about this, but we flew right over the Crescent Dunes project! It looked HOT. #Solar #CleanEnergy

"This is how you defeat authoritarianism. Not by screaming the word 'fascist' louder but by revealing the economic betrayal at its core. Trump promised to make life more affordable. Instead, he’s making it harder and more expensive while consolidating power and enriching his allies."

Soaring #electricity prices are triggering a wave of power shutoffs nationwide, leaving more Americans in the dark as unpaid #bills pile up. Although there is no national count of electricity shutoffs, data from select utilities in 11 states show that disconnections have risen in at least 8 of them since last year, acc/to figures compiled by WaPo & the National #Energy Assistance Directors Association (#NEADA).

I'm one of the crazy people in France who don't heat his #home.

Just removes humidity. Can't afford heating, but I have all stuff to stay warm (clothing, etc)
It can go below 10°C

I know the techniques to sleep with -5°C : goose down #blanket, #wool hat, wool gloves, wool socks
And breath strongly at morning when dressing good clothes!

But in Gaza they don't have all this useful things now. It's an emergency to help them
