Solo per ricordare, ancora una volta, che il nucleare non è immune dalla siccità. Tutte le centrali termiche hanno bisogno di una sorgente fredda, oltre la calda che è il reattore, per funzionare. "Clima estremo, in Ungheria si ferma la centrale nucleare di Paks" share.google/urYiIf2vhfGM...

Clima estremo, in Ungheria si ferma la centrale nucleare di Paks

È la prima volta in 44 anni, i livelli del Danubio sono troppo bassi. La centrale fornisce circa il 40% della produzione annuale di elettricità del Paese

To witness a nation like Britain becoming a tinderbox is so sad, it's like a nightmare. And we've not even officially crossed the 1.5°C threshold yet! With the World being solidly on track to pass 2°C, I wonder what is in store for us. Nothing good, I'm afraid.

Been on the apocalypse beat this week. Surveying English and Welsh fire services, we count 250+ significant wildfires in the first two weeks of July, destroying thousands of acres: www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

There are 2 big stories in development happening in Africa @katemac.bsky.social (1) LEAPFROGGING: Africa is buying huge quantities of solar panels. Electricity access is accelerating growth (2) MAKING not just BUYING: some countries got FDI. Starting to capture value-added & jobs from manufacturing

There's 4 key countries which these cells+wafers are exported to: Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya and Nigeria. That's a LOT of manfacturing capacity that's come online in the last months. Some of the panels will be for export, but many will likely be used domestically.

Worth noticing that this mission will not go to the Moon, sadly, because of delays accumulated by Musk's SpaceX, which has not yet mastered refueling in space, necessary to send the auxiliary Starship to the Moon. 🤷 They will instead test docking in low Earth's orbit. 🤞 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Artemis III: Nasa names astronauts to prepare for Moon landing

Nasa names its next Artemis crew, though they will not be walking on the Moon or even going anywhere near it.

This is Sam Fahd Abu Haikal. A 7-month-old Palestinian baby killed by Israel. If this were an Israeli baby or a Western baby, his face would be splashed across front pages. Western leaders would condemn the perpetrator's evil. Here? Silence.

The world’s biggest bike parking in Utrecht didn’t happen overnight. And it didn’t fall out of the sky. It’s the product of decades of effective urban and transport planning. Long-term political decisions. Sustained public investment. Great cycling cities aren’t miracles. They are policy outcomes.
