This Kat is running for Congress in Illienois 2026. ! Keep an eye on her !
But this video is about the MAGA gaslighting on a tiny fish to blame for the California Fires.
So MAGA: picking on the small guy with very obvious lies but brought with conviction.

"Nov 3, 2024
Global energy market disruption is desperately needed if the world is to stand any chance of achieving its decarbonisation goals. Taking on the incumbent behemoth monopolistic suppliers is no mean feat, but Greg Jackson is confronting the issue head one with a raft of initiatives that will not only revolutionise the UK energy sector but bring change to markets all over the world. I visited him at his London HQ to have a chat about what he's up to."

Don't blame the Lord. The increase in severity nor for the occurance.
Blame yourself and your own capitalist society. Growing up in abubdance and prosperity by exploiting your resources.
And now, when it gets hairy, you want to blame the god you say you worship ?

Quote by rtg:
"2024, Feb 7
Amsterdam's bike culture is a hallmark of the city, embodying an ethos of sustainability, health, and community. With over 400 kilometers of dedicated bike lanes, Amsterdam is designed for cyclists, making biking the preferred mode of transportation for its residents. The flat terrain and compact urban layout further facilitate this cycling lifestyle, enabling easy access to the city's myriad of sights and neighborhoods. Bicycles in Amsterdam are more than just a means of transport; they're a way of life, symbolizing the city's commitment to environmental consciousness and active living. From young children to older adults, everyone bikes, regardless of social status. This widespread embrace of cycling reduces traffic congestion, lowers carbon emissions, and promotes a sense of community. Bike shops, rental services, and ample parking spaces cater to the cyclist's every need, making Amsterdam the undisputed biking capital of the world."

"Why the Biggest Battery Company is Betting Against Lithium" [14:32 min]

youtube.com/watch?v=7yhcyn_4cU

Quote by UwMF:
"Apr 8, 2025
Why the Biggest Battery Company is Betting Against Lithium. Sodium-ion battery technology isn’t exactly new, but something interesting is happening. CATL, the world’s biggest lithium battery manufacturer, says that up to half the market could switch to sodium. That’s right—the biggest name in lithium batteries is betting against lithium. Looks like lithium might need to recharge its reputation. After all, sodium-ion batteries are nearly as good lithium, and salt is much cheaper and easier to access than lithium. So maybe its not surprising that CATL and some other companies are getting ready to manufacture huge numbers of them in preparation for what could be a massive market shift. But is sodium really the future of energy storage, or is it just another battery technology destined to live in lithium-ion's shadow?"

America is addicted to filthy fossil fuels and is trashing its environment to feed that addiction rather than switching away to renewables like the rest of the world.

Solar and wind are way way cheaper than shunting toxic tar sands oil thousands of kilometres.

There is no hope for America though, with Trump deciding that child killing, planet frying coal is the way to go for America.

apple.newsThe latest leak in the Keystone oil pipeline continues its troubled history — The IndependentThe latest leak in the Keystone oil pipeline in North Dakota on Tuesday continues the troubled history of the 15-year-old pipeline

Last year marked a historic and deeply troubling threshold: for the first time, global temperatures exceeded 1.5C above pre-industrial levels. Without drastic and immediate climate action, this breach will not be temporary. The consequences – rising sea levels, extreme weather and devastating loss of biodiversity – are no longer projections for the distant future. They are happening now, affecting millions of lives, and likely to cause trillions in damages in decades to come.

Quote by GCN:
"Apr 6, 2025
There’s a major problem with the way our roads and traffic systems are designed—one that’s being overlooked at an enormous cost. The core idea behind how we build our roads, and by extension our towns, cities, and landscapes, is outdated and deeply flawed. What exactly are junk roads? Why have we invested billions, possibly trillions, into them? Si Richardson is on a mission to expose the truth behind the roads we've accepted without question. 🛣️"
