Austria and Italy have today been connected for the first time via the new Brenner Base Tunnel, a megaproject that is set to become the longest continuous tunnel in the world.
This is European ambition! 🇪🇺
Europe’s school calendar was designed for a cooler climate.
According to projections for 2041–2060, large parts of southern and central Europe could face extreme heat during the school year.
Climate adaptation is no longer just energy policy.
It is becoming education policy.

A Greek PM who goes soft on Moscow isn't defending "national" interests. He defends the narrow interests of some oligarch. Greece's interests are protected by a unified Europe that confronts Russia and Turkey with one voice. Abolish the veto! Mitsotakis doesn't speak for Greece
New euro banknotes 🇪🇺
The European Central Bank @ecb today presented its 10 finalist projects and opened a public consultation which will run until 21 September!
European citizens are called to vote here: https://t.co/hO58eseLMv
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Chamonix, Mont Blanc, on the French side 🇫🇷
A “splendid” panoramic terrace overlooking the so-called Mer de Glace (Sea of Ice)
A stab to the heart…
Absolute Lehrstunde soeben von Armin Laschet bei #Illner! Er hat AfD-Mann Lucassen und dessen naive Kapitulations-Fantasien komplett seziert und vorgeführt.
Wer im Jahr 2026 immer noch glaubt, dass das Einstellen von Hilfen Frieden bringt, hat aus der Geschichte absolut gar nichts gelernt. Laschet hat dem selbsternannten „Militärexperten“ die Maske der Sachlichkeit eiskalt vom Gesicht gerissen. Ein rhetorischer Kinnhaken für die russlandfreundliche blaue Echokammer! 🎯⚖️💀

Ukraine uses russia's own Air Defence...
...to shoot down an advanced russian jet fighter!!!
Ukrainian hackers and intelligence experts intercepted control parameters and altered operational data for the 'BARS Moscow' air defense system.
They then exploited severe software vulnerabilities to trick the Russian air defense crew - deployed to protect Moscow - into misidentifying their own high-tech fighter as a hostile threat, triggering the fatal launch.
This unprecedented operation resulted in the complete destruction of a russian Su-57 stealth fighter jet valued at over $100 million.
While the Russian Ministry of Defense publicly attributed the crash to a 'technical failure', Russian military channels and pro-war media quickly confirmed that the jet fell victim to friendly fire.

Hier erklärt Robert Habeck 2024 sehr schön, wie die CDU mit ihrem Zickzack-Kurs die Deutsche Automobilindustrie zerstört.
Lustig auch der Springer-Aktivist @MichaelBroecker: "die CDU stellt die Klimaziele nicht in Frage." 🤡

Ireland is building a battery that contains no lithium.
No cobalt.
No rare-earth metals.
Instead, it stores energy using carbon dioxide.
The project is designed to hold 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, making it one of Europe’s largest long-duration energy storage systems. But unlike conventional batteries, it doesn’t rely on chemical reactions.
It relies on physics.
When wind and solar farms produce more electricity than the grid needs, that extra energy is used to compress carbon dioxide into a liquid. The process releases heat, which is captured and stored.
Later, when electricity demand rises, the stored heat turns the liquid CO₂ back into a gas.
As the gas expands, it spins a turbine and generates electricity.
Then the cycle begins again.
The carbon dioxide never leaves the system.
It stays sealed inside, circulating in a continuous closed loop.
That is what makes the technology so different.
There is no lithium.
No cobalt.
No dependence on critical mineral supply chains.
Instead, the system is built mainly from steel, water, and carbon dioxide.
It is also designed to last.
Developers say the facility can deliver electricity for up to ten hours on a full charge and continue operating for more than 25 years without the gradual loss of storage capacity that affects many conventional batteries.
As more countries shift toward wind and solar power, one challenge continues to grow.
What happens when the wind stops blowing or the sun goes down?
Projects like this are trying to answer that question.
Not by replacing renewable energy.
But by finding new ways to store it until it is needed.
Sleazy anti-net-zero Farage, Tice, and Reform UK will be furious.
Die dt. Automobilindustrie ist von Managern geführt worden, die den Umbau von Verbrennern auf E-Autos bewusst verhindert haben, um risikolos ihre persönliche Einnahmen zu sichern.
Die Folge sind jetzt massenhafte Entlassungen.

One of the unintended consequences of W’s decision to overthrow Saddam was the empowerment of the Islamist Iran regime. With Epic Fury and now pulling the Iraqi govt out of Iran’s claws, we’ve got some potentially big-time Iraq war redemption.
Batterien mit Salz statt Lithium haben kaum Energieverlust bei Kälte, brennen fast nie nach Unfällen, sind billiger und sind nicht durch Lithium Mangel begrenzt. Sie werden der Turbumotor der Energiewende sein. In diese Technologie müssen wir investieren https://t.co/17EG4EEpdm
