Vertical rows are the agrivoltaic winner!

“The vertical panels produce slightly less electricity—but with higher value, as generation peaks coincide with morning and late afternoon demand…The crops don't seem to mind the presence of solar panels and they like the wind protection they provide.”
Double harvest: Vertical solar panels and crops thrive side by side
Imagine a field where solar panels and crops coexist—with no trade-off. It sounds like science fiction, but that's precisely what researchers from Aarhus University have now documented in a full-scale...

VM:n muistiossa arvioidaan ensi vuonna tehtävien veromuutosten vaikutusta tulonjakoon.

Hallituksen veropäätökset lisäävät suurituloisimpien käytettävissä olevia tuloja eniten. Heidän kohdallaan lisäys on suurin suhteellisesti ja absoluuttisesti.

Sen sijaan pienituloisimman ryhmän tulot vähenevät.

Remarkably blunt words from United Nations officials who just declared Israel is committing genocide:

"Gaza will be with me for the rest of my life."

"Netanyahu, like everything he says, is simply lying."

"The treatment of children, the amputation without anesthetic…That will haunt me forever."

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

Sosiaali- ja terveysjärjestöiltä leikkaaminen tulee yhteiskunnalle kalliiksi.

SOSTEn laskelman mukaan 1 euro sote-järjestöille kohdennettuja valtionavustuksia säästää julkisen sektorin kustannuksia yli 1,4 euroa.

Leikkauksille on vaihtoehtoja. 👇

Despite the fact that vaccines have saved millions of lives and RFK Jr made promises that he was not anti-vaccine when he was confirmed as HHS and pledged to maintain vaccines and science integrity he is systematically going back on that promise #ImmunoSky 🧪🧵
How RFK Jr is systematically undermining vaccines around the world
Vaccines saved 154 million lives. But as fear of disease fades, so does protection – raising the chilling prospect of a return to the pre-vaccine era.

We already knew the EU's climate math ain't mathing, but pledging $250B for U.S. gas? The business math ain't mathing either🙄
EU's pledge for $250 billion of US energy imports is delusional
There are strong echoes of Donald Trump's failed trade deal with China from his first term as U.S. president in the framework agreement reached with the European Union.
