Certainly not the 🇬🇷's,

@TPKanslia @niinisto #Niinistö took #Finland to the Eurozone with #treason (a crime that does not expire), and now we are going to NATO even though the #Paris #PeaceTreaty is still #valid with #Russia and #prevents Finland from becoming a NATO member.
@TPKanslia @niinisto The Ministry of #ForeignAffairs organized an official opinion poll on joining #NATO, which ended on Nov 23. The #Finnish people (92%) #REJECTED joining NATO. The MFA, in #violation of the #PublicityAct, refuses to hand over copies of stats free of charge.

“Solar is the cheapest form of #EnergyGeneration on the planet, unsubsidized. Solar is the cheapest source of #energy in history. Nothing else is as cheap as #solar — today.”
“Solar is so cheap that the total costs are lower than just the #OperatingCosts of #coal, #nukes, #oil, or #gas generation… that’s today! Even if you get that gas #PowerPlant for free, the costs of running that power plant are higher than all the costs of #solar.”
“For purely economic reasons, #solar is already disrupting everything else.”

#Agniveer #AgnipathScheme #Agnipath What are the facts to this scheme ? Why is the opposition rattled ?
Or it is the opposition ratted or its a #toolkit from abroad under which the #Dynasts are working ?

India becomes a #SuperPower with a Younger Army is unacceptable to many Countries...!!
Opposition is rattled for this Youngsters who join this dream project will come out to be An Indian and they will talk of two things #Country n #Constitution.
The #religious divide will not work for them and they will be the Backbone of our Youth Brigade.

Being a superpower isn’t just economical or military.
It’s a brand.
And a brand that should sell.
And history has shown that all great powers were brands that sold. And the humans of earth bought with their heaters and minds.
#superpower #world
Quite simply, now, #Russia and #China haven’t made themselves institute strong brands
The #Chinese are lately realising this. The #Russians no
They won’t
Not how they work and think
Being super BRAND power means humans of Earth wanting to be like the citizens of a superpower.
Being a super #BRAND power means your educational institutions, #lifestyle, #habitus, #culture, #language, #food, #traditions EVERYTHING is presented as the best on the planet.
And it usually is.
In the superpower game, 💩 sells some of the time. Not all.

“US-#China Competition Enters the Decade of Max Danger: #Policy Ideas to Avoid Losing the 2020s”

#Xi
#Taiwan
As #PRC/#CCP power peaks over this decade, #Xi may seek #Taiwan as historic prize.

To protect their security & rules-based order, US/Allies must mobilize immediately to deter aggression.

The mission is vital, the stakes are high, & the clock is ticking.

bit.ly/PLA2027 Image
US/Allies/#Taiwan now face “#DecadeOfDanger” w/ peaking #Xi/#CCP/#PRC as #China has extreme version of “S-Curved #slowdown.”

Xi’s risk acceptance will likely be amplified by his track record of largely-uncountered revisionist actions vs. neighbors & RBO.

Superpower or 🤡? "Pakistan’s army & its Inter-Services Intelligence(ISI) play key role in Taliban offensive. Without logistical support from Pakistan, the Taliban would be hard-pressed to operate in such a widespread way". epaper.timesgroup.com/Olive/ODN/TheE…
2/usa Superpower or 🤡? "Of course, Pakistan has been the Taliban’s patron since its creation in the 1990s.
It is impossible to defeat the Taliban as long as Pakistan provides sanctuary and safety, training, equipment and funds for the Taliban."..3/
3/usa #Clownanalysis101 🤡 "Pakistan cannot be defeated, as it is a nuclear-armed State and has the fifth-largest population in world. ...It is curious that Biden has so little to engage with Pakistan. He has yet to talk with Imran Khan." ☝🏼superpower is going to fight #China?😭

I started playing #guitar in college. Some of my friends back home played, so I thought I'd learn. It's been years since I kept up with it. With no job and an empty house, I had time. Plus, I could crank up my amp. Ava would have hated it. All the more reason to do it.
#vss365
Strumming a few chords or playing a riff through a loud amp usually makes me feel better. It's more of a distraction this time. My amp is a little old. Even a #ragpicker might pass on it. "If you're not going to play it, sell it," Ava nagged. Life always got in the way.
#vss365
Or I got in the way. Not even ten years ago I kept getting sick all the time. Painful stomach cramps would radiate weakness throughout my body. I learned how to wash it away like healing #rainwater. That's when I really started to figure out who I was and what I could do.

"Blind Freddy" should be able to see the world is in a bit of a pickle in regard to GHG emissions. Despite the amazing developments in clean energy technology, energy emissions continue to rise in a dance that is tuned to the economy. Image
The challenge in meeting Paris targets (26% below 2005 levels by 2030) is getting worse by the year. For a proportional contribution, the global energy sector already needs to reduce emissions by 4% each year, rising 0.5% in 2018 Image
Global emissions reductions are really hard - energy sector emissions have not reduced by anywhere near 4% any year in the last 40. In fact, only 4 times have annual energy emissions gone down appreciably, and only in significant economic downturns, as most recently in '09. Image

1/ At the launch of #Superpower last night at UniMelb, Ross Garnaut told us that the learning curve in Solar PV as one of the game changers for renewable deployment. The thread here is from a piece I wrote on learning curves back in 2011, published in the SMH.
2/ Then I estimated the learning curve was about 20% for each doubling in PV deployment. Ross indicates it has been closer to 24%, so my 2011 estimate of wholesale price parity by 2022 was conservative. We are already there. Here is my 2011 piece
3/ smh.com.au/business/fossi…

IT'S A SURE BET that solar photovoltaics will achieve retail electricity price parity within a few years. When that happens, it will signal the end of the game for fossil fuel baseload power.

An important story about the federal government muzzling scientific research and renewable energy.

A thread.
I wrote a book about a group of energy developers trying to build giant extension cords (technically, HVDC). It would lower power prices and add *a lot* of new renewables to the grid w/o undermining reliability.

My book --> russellgold.net/superpower

2/
There was a lot of interesting research the buttressed the story I told in the book.

It came from NREL, NOAA, @DrChrisClack and others. It was vetted, peer reviewed, etc.

My book came out and then something weird happened...

Ghose leads the #womeninscience Centre at @Laurier and works in physics and computer science ncl #quantum, and #interdisciplinary is just a big word to her. There is no choice to cross disciplines in her research, which also bridges into #SocialSciences #CSPC2018
