How are transport emissions not part of the EUs emissions trading scheme? ETS2 covers road transport, buildings and many small industry emitters, not covered by ETS already. The original ETS already includes air travel.

However going for 65% emissions reduction would certainly be a good move.

The absolute cheapest 420Wp panels are €50-80 new. That would be a roughly 1.7m X 1.1m panel. So 35€ for the risk of buying scrap and them having been degraded would be a bad deal. If you can get the rest of the needed installation parts with it, it might be worth it or if those are new panels.

If you want to get started there are solar home kits online, which are rather easy to install, if you have some very basic diy skills. The electronics is basically plugin in some cables and the difficult part would be actually setting up the panels. On a flat roof that might just be screwing on some metal stands and drilling a hole to run the cables through.

Lukashenko is a lot of things, but he is not a fool. Using Belorussian troops to go into Ukraine, would allow Ukraine to use their Belorussians to invade Belarus. Luka likes his job of being Putins trolling henchmen.

You mean like this:

Russian Warlord Thanks Elon Musk for Starlink's Role in Ukraine Invasion

Musk was always a libertarian. He just recently seems to have gone full fascists. A huge part of that is probably Thiel.

Thanks. Fixed the original comment.

Actually that is capacity and not the electricity the actually produce. In 2021 Drax produced 4.2TWh of electricity. In 2021 Ratcliff produced 0.8TWh

So we are talking 5times more electricity from Drax. Hence 4x emissions is not as bad as it seems. I can not find 2023 numbers and I could imagine that they are even starker.

EDIT: Fix because I can not read properly apparently.

Actually it is even worse then that. Trump has called Netanyahu to ask him to keep the genocide going, so Harris looses the election. HE is openly calling for Israel to finish the problem. Biden for all his faults in this, has actually send aid to Gaza and has been at least rhetorically pushed for a ceasefire.

More that the US media and politicians are controlled by capitalism and they are not going to do anything hurting that, unless they face a large enough movement, which could actually hurt them. So the best course is to elect the least corrupt politician(and they all are corrupt), who might have some morals in them, to then force them to take action.

Also the US desperately needs stronger and more left leaning institutions.

What is radical about sitting on a street with a few signs to block something?

My truth is that most Americans are neither Democrats nor Republicans, but Independents. Both Democrats and Republicans mostly vote for the respective party anyway, so the Independent group is the main target.

If you want to see what happens, when you run a full on populist left platform, look at the UK with Corbin vs Johnson. The media runs a massive shit storm against Corbin and Labour lost in a landslide, besides having some really good points. Core Labour voters, especially the left wing loved Corbin though.

Because this is what changed this election. The progressive voter base of the Democrats has made clear that they are willing to not vote, instead of voting for Biden. The Democrats were happy that the Republicans moved right, as they could occupy the center and win most elections. This forces them to actually move further left to appease the progressive no longer base and win those votes.

Well done. This is actually a good way of moving the country in the left direction. However they also have to show, that they are willing to vote, if the Democrats do what they want or at least move towards them.
