June was the deadliest month for civilians in Ukraine in over a year. 232 killed. 1,343 injured. Not numbers. People. UN: Russia launched 10x more drone and missile attacks than last June. This is not a frozen war — it’s an accelerating one.

Good News für alle aus der Energiebubble, die (wie ich) noch mit dem 140-Seiten-Wälzer #ElWG-Entwurf strugglen: Die Begutachtung wurde bis 15. August verlängert. orf.at/stories/339932…

Globally solar will add a TeraWatt this year, growing faster than any power source in history, and it is closely followed by wind power—which is really another form of energy from the sun, since it is differential heating of the earth that produces wind newyorker.com/news/annals-of…

Along with the President of the European Commission, France shares the same very strong disapproval at the announcement of horizontal 30% tariffs on EU exports to the United States from August 1st. This announcement comes after weeks of intense engagement by the Commission in

The IAEA team at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant reported hearing hundreds of rounds of small arms fire last night, the latest sign of military activity potentially threatening nuclear safety and security, DG Rafael Mariano Grossi said today: bit.ly/44LQ2ZF

Trump admin’s degrowth agenda goes well beyond extreme tariffs & obstructing our fastest-growing energy sources — it’s attempting to dismantle the backbone of US scientific and R&D capacity: (1) NSF: >55% cut (2) NASA Science: ~50% cut (3) ARPA-E: 57% cut (4) DOE Science: 14%

Don’t miss this news among the nonsense. Impressive.

The remains of a man believed to have been a medieval knight have been discovered in Gdańsk during excavations at the location of a former ice cream store. The man had an estimated height of 180cm (5'11"), exceptionally tall by the standards of the time notesfrompoland.com/2025/07/14/med…

China is requiring for the first time that steel&cement plants buy renewable electricity. Together with the higher minimum share of renewables for distribution firms, this boosts demand just as new solar&wind plants have to secure contracts directly with buyers.

Removing a solar shield. Un-geo-engineering.

For 17 years, soil microbiologist Robert Kremer studied what happens in the soil when we plant GMO crops. His findings contradict conventional assumptions about modern agriculture’s impact on the invisible world beneath our feet.

Living GMO plants actively release glyphosate through their roots. Kremer’s team detected over 1,000 nanograms per plant seeping into the soil over just 16 days, fundamentally altering the underground ecosystem.

This herbicide doesn’t just kill weeds, its a superfood for pathogenic fungi. Fusarium species can use glyphosate as both a carbon and phosphorus source, giving them a competitive advantage over beneficial microorganisms that protect plant health.

14 GW+ projects, ~3x the amount last year. Era of the battery is here.
