Solar ist die billigste Stromquelle der Menschheitsgeschichte, ihren Aufstieg wird niemand mehr stoppen.

Wächst die Branche weiter wie bisher, könnte sie bald den Strombedarf der ganzen Welt decken.

Mit Beispielen aus Chile, China, Deutschland und Pakistan: taz.de/Solarenergie...
Grafik mit dem Titel „So steigt der Anteil von Solarstrom weltweit“. Dargestellt sind 12 kleine Liniendiagramme, die den Anteil von Solarstrom am jeweiligen Strommix in Prozent von 2010 bis 2024 zeigen. Die Länder bzw. Regionen sind: China, USA, Indien, EU, Großbritannien, Schweiz, Brasilien, Australien, Japan, Südkorea, Pakistan und Armenien. In allen Fällen ist ein Anstieg des Solarstromanteils zu erkennen, besonders stark in Australien, Armenien, Pakistan und China. Die Y-Achse reicht jeweils bis 20 Prozent, der höchste Anstieg ist in Australien zu sehen.

NEW! The Trump administration appears to have sent a married father with NO CRIMINAL RECORD in any country to rot in a prison in El Salvador because of a PAPERWORK ERROR.

This man doesn’t even have tattoos! But his paperwork has two different peoples’ ID numbers listed and the wrong last name!
The U.S. government claims on Reyes Mota's I-213 form, a document the Department of Homeland Security uses to support that someone is deportable, that he "may be a Tren de Aragua associate." But in those same documents, the government says he has no criminal records or immigration history in the United States. The government also uses someone else's last name in several parts of the document, identifies him with female pronouns, and uses two different unique identification numbers that immigration authorities use to keep track of individuals, raising questions about the reliability of Trump officials accusations against him.

Just joined after reading an article about it. Hopefully, I won’t have to keep moving from platform to platform and it will be a permanent home. 😀
