The United Kingdom and nine other European countries are building the world’s largest ‘clean energy reservoir’
In a landmark pact to turn the North Sea into a “clean energy reservoir,” a coalition of 10 European countries have agreed to accelerate the rollout of offshore windfarms that directly connect to their various countries through subsea cables.
The plans are expected to provide 100 gigawatts of offshore wind power, enough to power 143 million homes.
The plans involve collectively building 5 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity every year between 2031 and 2040. More than 100 companies have signed on to an industry declaration with a promise to reduce costs and create 91,000 jobs.
Why is this good news? While the U.S. is a powerful force in the clean energy transition, the rest of the world is proving it will move on regardless of its rollbacks on clean energy. Ten countries coming together to build a powerful network of clean energy supply sets a remarkable precedent for the industry — it’s expected to attract €1 trillion in investments.
Minneapolis cafe vows to be 100% free to ‘everyone except ICE’ as long as agents are in MN
Modern Times Cafe is located six blocks from where George Floyd was killed in 2020, three blocks from where Renee Good was killed earlier this month, and just a neighborhood away from where Alex Pretti was killed on Saturday, January 24.
And while U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement continues what local officials call an “occupation” in the city, owner Dylan Alverson decided to do what he can in support of his community.
Beginning January 26, “until the occupation of Minneapolis is over,” the cafe is operating as a free, donation-based restaurant: “I am sick of generating money for the soldiers in our streets and for a government that won't protect us — a government who is actively inflicting daily harm on its citizens.”
