"France will require all parking lots with spaces for at least 80 vehicles – both existing and new – to be covered by solar panels." That would add 10 nuclear reactors worth of solar.

How much solar power would be generated if such a law passed in the US? https://t.co/Kk5qm6JvwQ

Word of the day is ‘sparple’ (14th century): to deflect unwanted attention from one thing by making a big deal of another.

Major French journal ‘Le Monde’ describes the spirited fight by farmers against Adani’s proposed ‘Gondulpara’ coal mine in India. The Adani Group’s misdeeds are reaching larger and larger audiences. #StopAdani #AdaniWatch

@OccupyMyGov And just as I'm reading this thread and it's becoming abundantly clear that the Feds have requisitioned all supplies of RATs. What comes on the TV but a Govt Ad saying they have supplies of RATs that will be available soon. Joke is on those who took personal responsibility.

This is how it goes:
1. We see the signs and worry about something happening for months.
2. They demand we calm down (patronisingly).
3. The thing happens.
4. They are caught unprepared.
5. They tell us it couldn't have been predicted.
6. We despair (angrily).
7. Repeat

One of my commitments is to promote human values based on common sense and scientific findings. What we need is more self-confidence, which comes from concern for others' well-being. The real source of inner strength and self-confidence is warm-heartedness.

The awful countdown has begun. Two days ago, we received a letter from Chinese state-owned miner MMG, informing us that they plan to return to the ancient rainforests of takayna to recommence destruction for their proposed heavy metals tailings dam. We will resist. #politas

@qldhealth Numbers mean nothing, because people can’t get tested when they’re sick… The only numbers that matter now is how many people are dying

Minister Ley chooses Tarkine tailings dam over prosecution for Chinese state-owned miner. Now falls to citizens to again take to the barricades to defend the rainforests, the eagles, the owls, the quolls and the devils that call this region home. #politas https://t.co/vlxMbP0VAY
