🚨The Commission is set to announce today that France’s Céline Gauer will succeed Ditte Juul Jørgensen as Director-General for Energy (DG ENER). The latter has just informed her staff of the move — according to several sources.

Battery-electric ferry reduced energy use 88% versus a diesel ferry during 16 months of operation in Norway, carrying 41,000 passengers per day back and forth over a river. Plus, 0 tailpipe or grid emissions from the BE ferry since Norway's grid is 100% WindWaterSolar compositesworld.com/news/hyke-gfrp…

Orban ha approvato una nuova legge elettorale che gli avrebbe permesso di avere una netta vittoria con un piccolo vantaggio nei voti. La cosa gli si è ritorta contro, dando una vittoria quasi al 70% con poco più del 52% dei voti all'opposizione. A buon intenditor... #ungheria

BREAKING: Sources tell Sky: Direct Iran - US talks in presence of Pakistani mediators have begun

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶 The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

I was thirty-something years old when Iranian students dragged me into a room and told me I wasn't going anywhere. Four hundred and forty-four days later, I walked out. I've spent the decades since trying to make sense of what happened — and what keeps happening — between our two countries. So don't talk to me about Iran like it's an abstraction. I lived inside that confrontation. I felt it. Which is why I'm not ready to write off this ceasefire, even though everything about it is maddening. Negotiations in Pakistan may produce nothing. The talks could collapse before they get started. I've seen American diplomacy with Iran fail more times than I can count, and usually for the same reasons — too much pride, too little patience, and Israel holding a match in the corner of the room. But here's what I know in my bones: another war won't break Iran. We just tried. It didn't work. Iran doesn't break — it absorbs, it adapts, and it waits. I watched that stubbornness up close for 444 days. What bothers me most isn't that Iran is winning this moment — it's that we handed it to them. Tehran's framework is running these negotiations. Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz. Still collecting tolls. Trump looked at their proposal and called it workable. I never thought I'd see the day, but here we are. Iran wants everything on the table — sanctions, enrichment rights, American troops out, and a deal that covers what's happening in Lebanon and Gaza too. That's a lot to swallow. And Israel, which wasn't invited to this conversation, is already making clear it has no intention of being constrained by it. That's the part that worries me the most. Because if Israel keeps bombing and Washington can't or won't stop it, none of this holds. And yet — and I say this as someone who has every reason to distrust Tehran — I don't think we go back to all-out war. Not because anyone has suddenly gotten wise, but because the math doesn't work. A second round ends the same way. Iran still controls the Strait. The global economy still flinches when Tehran flexes. What we're heading toward isn't peace. It's something smaller and more precarious — two countries silently agreeing not to destroy each other today, with no paperwork and no guarantees. I know what it's like to survive on something that fragile. For 444 days, that's all I had.

With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes. Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days! @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @drpezeshkian @mb_ghalibaf @araghchi

++ Nota di Palazzo Chigi Il Governo italiano continua a seguire con estrema attenzione l’evolversi della crisi in Medio Oriente e il rischio di un’ulteriore escalation militare che potrebbe coinvolgere l’intero territorio iraniano, senza distinzione tra obiettivi strategici, militari e civili. L’Italia ribadisce la propria ferma e risoluta condanna nei confronti delle condotte destabilizzanti del regime di Teheran: dagli attacchi missilistici che minacciano la sicurezza delle nazioni del Golfo, alle reiterate intimidazioni volte a compromettere la libertà di navigazione nello Stretto di Hormuz — arteria vitale per l’economia globale — fino alla sistematica e brutale repressione interna del proprio popolo. Tuttavia, è fondamentale distinguere nettamente tra le responsabilità di un regime e il destino di milioni di cittadini comuni. La popolazione civile iraniana non può e non deve pagare il prezzo delle colpe dei propri governanti. Il Governo italiano condivide quanto già dichiarato dalle istituzioni dell’Unione europea sulla necessità di preservare l’integrità delle infrastrutture civili, oltre che l’incolumità della popolazione iraniana, e auspica che si possa presto giungere a una soluzione negoziale della crisi

Diplomatic efforts for peaceful settlement of the ongoing war in the Middle East are progressing steadily, strongly and powerfully with the potential to lead to substantive results in near future. To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks. Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture. We also urge all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war, in the interest of long-term peace and stability in the region. @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @drpezeshkian @mb_ghalibaf @araghchi

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back. Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-mul…

Decades of data says the price of storage drops by 19% every time global production doubles. This isn't some marginal gain. It's an unstoppable force of nature You can’t out-compete math this aggressive. This "learning rate" is a one-way street to total electrification - because it's cheaper. As battery costs crater, EVs become cheaper than petrol cars, and grid storage makes solar/wind reliable 24/7 This feedback loop can't be stopped, however many fossil fuel wars Big Oil continues to initiate

I still can't believe how quickly it feels like we moved on from this. This happened on the *first day*. It hasn't even been a month.

Harrowing report from Minab where US Tomahawk cruise missiles killed scores of Iranian children in an atrocity at the start of this war

The Strait of Hormuz carries a fifth of global oil. In 2025, the global EV fleet avoided the equivalent to 70% of Iran's exports through it. Producing more oil doesn't fix oil vulnerability. Electrification does, permanently. 🔗ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

Amid the escalation in Lebanon, hundreds of thousands of civilians are fleeing with nothing but what they can carry. I met with several of them to listen to their heartbreaking stories. Civilians must be respected & protected at all times. This war must end.

The cost of the clean energy transition is less than the entire cost of the last fossil fuel crisis. A further reminder that politicians on the right who want to abandon our drive for clean power want to saddle our country with huge costs and risks. theguardian.com/environment/20…
