@Templarpilled Are there any Europeans who are still currently suffering from the effects of the Barbary pirates?
Cause there are black people still suffering from the lingering effects of slavery.

@_manuvers @phildstewart Yes please, they tried in 2022 and failed miserably. I want to see the replay!

@phildstewart Russia needs to get its act together and go after Kiev, hard. A grinding ground invasion that's going nowhere has to be replaced with expanded aerial strikes and better and bolder intelligence ops to neutralize the Ukrainian regime.

(Reuters) - At least 40% of Russia's oil export capacity is at a halt following Ukrainian drone attacks, a disputed attack on a major pipeline and the seizure of tankers, according to Reuters calculations based on market data.
The shutdown is the most severe oil supply disruption in the modern history of Russia, the world's second largest oil exporter, and has hit Moscow just as oil prices exceeded $100 a barrel due to the Iran war.
Russia's oil output is one of the main sources of revenue for the national budget and is central to the $2.6 trillion economy.
UKRAINE HAS INCREASED ATTACKS
Ukraine intensified drone attacks on Russia's oil and fuel export infrastructure this month, hitting all three of Russia's major western oil export ports, including Novorossiysk on the Black Sea and Primorsk and Ust-Luga on the Baltic Sea.
According to Reuters calculations, about 40% of Russia's crude oil export capabilities - or around 2 million barrels per day, were shut as of Wednesday after the most recent attack.
That includes Primorsk and Ust-Luga as well as the Druzhba pipeline, which runs through Ukraine to Hungary and Slovakia.
Kyiv has also targeted pipeline oil pumping stations and refineries. Kyiv says it aims to diminish Moscow's oil and gas revenue, which accounts for around a quarter of Russia's state budget proceeds, and weaken its military might.
Russia says the Ukrainian strikes are terrorist attacks and has tightened security across its 11 time zones.

@evanwch Did you really believe that after all of what he said before? Wow!

@willyNgendahayo @ZelenskyyUa Third worlder has an opinion on what good leadership is... Hahahahahahah!

@ZelenskyyUa Ukraine needs a new leadership. you are stagnant like water.

We do not see any genuine desire from Russia to end the war, and we share this view with our partners. The United States believes that Putin wants the war to end. Our views here are completely different.
On one hand, that’s not a problem – it’s normal for opinions to differ. But on the other hand, when we want to end the war, to accelerate this process, we raise the issue of putting pressure on Russia. We know that Putin does not want to end the war. We call for additional pressure to make him want to. But the U.S. believes he wants to end it, so why apply extra pressure if Russia is showing it is also ready for peace?
There are different perspectives on certain issues, and this is something we need to work through.

@McNameeJason @simonmaechling Don't worry, now you will be lectured how Sience Fixtion technologies that don't yet exist will solve all the issues...

@simonmaechling There is no path to net zero that does not go through nuclear.

@BareLeft In the UK? You absolutely suck at building and organising public transport. It is poor, and no money in the world would make it better.
English

Again - for the cost of extending the cut in fuel duty, you could make practically every bus route in England free. Instead, we got a 50% fare rise.
I will never accept car fascists pretending they're hard done by.

@How_Tiny_UK_Is @schneider_chris @business Fuck, I wasn't aware that Germans damaged not only Germany but France because if their stupid anti-nuclear ideology
English

@schneider_chris @business 2020 — > 2 reactors (Fessenheim) closed due a stupid German blackmail
2026 —> +1 EPR (Flamanville) opened with a French middlefinger to the Germans
So yes , France must accelerate with 14 new EPRs by 2040-2050

France is on track for its highest level of nuclear generation for March since 2019, helping to support power markets across Europe bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@radioactivered Germans are used to admitting doing stupid things...
...but they don't plan to build any new nuclear plants anymore either...
English

@LewisStanding1 @colinwalker79 Sure. If we had more alternatives to electricity generated from gas, we would have saved it even more... We don't because we decided to go renewables at whatever cost destroying all energy security we had, killing industry and increasing financial burden on people via inflation.
English

@AM44628 @colinwalker79 You may have misinterpreted what I've said.
Saved as in renewables provided the energy at a lower cost, vs the expense of gas generation.

"UK’s Renewables Output Hits Record, Helping to Blunt Iran Shock"

@tc_thrane @Arpe_DK @henrikssommer @ilyasdogru @leRaffl @electric_nick_ @electricfelix @ChanNgu18502948 €10 would buy me a 12kWh of electricity for EV in my nearest charging point. My council doesn't allow me to change car from my home.
English

How far can you go for ten euros in an #ICE car and a #BEV with today's prices in Denmark 🇩🇰
Again today, #WindPower alone covers near 100% of the #electricity demand, so home charging at night (or noon) is the cheapest and greenest, making it almost free to drive your BEV🔋🚘

"Nuclear is too expensive" they said...

Rīt, šķiet pirmo reizi vēsturē, Latvijai ir zemākā vidējā elektroenerģijas cena visā Eiropā!

@LewisStanding1 @colinwalker79 It wouldn't have to save gas if we still had more nuclear and old coal plants...
English

@latimeralder and it won't be even cheap cheap, just a little bit cheaper than it is now. WTF politicians have in their fucking head?
English

@latimeralder Everyone says it will get cheaper, but 4 years later it is getting more expensive. Denmark (most power from wind turbines) has more expensive electricity than France (nuclear)...
All projections I have seen won't see cheaper electricity for at least another 5-10 years.
English

Listen up, 'green' peeps!
Learn from Latimer
Electricity is only a small part of our energy system. About 20%
70%+ of Britain's total energy does NOT come via the plug in the wall.
But up the gas main, or down the pump nozzle.
Latimer Alder@latimeralder
Where does Britain get its energy from? 39% from oil 32% from gas 10% from wind and a few odds and sods. This may come as a shock to renewables fans. Be gentle with them. It upsets their world view
